Dirty Laundry







Welcome back to the blog! It's Tarina and my sister are back again with a collaboration photo shoot but this time with different brands of clothing to showcase to you guys.

For this outfit post, I chose to wear some clothes from a streetwear brand called Deck Clothing. Their clothes are casual and sporty which I love! Also, the material is so comfortable and soft which is always a bonus, so make sure to go check them out.

Onto the outfit deets! I wore the Deck cropped hoodie and high waisted shorts because my closet literally consists of high waisted bottoms and cropped tops - if you hadn't already noticed. This combo was perfect for me and I added an extra touch of comfort/style by pairing it with some long leggings underneath because I think it gave the look an androgynous feel...and British weather isn't really for that bare legged life. For shoes, I wanted to wear something other than typical trainers so I opted for something out of my sister's closet (thank you Thanai) which were trainers with an elastic strap. I really loved them and decided to incorporate them into my look. 

Hope you guys like it!

I have always loved Nicce London clothing however, if I am honest I do think the brand is a little too expensive for my taste. But when I say a pinstripe set they had which was the top I'm wearing and a banded mini skirt, I thought Damnnn Danielll lemme cop that! Now I love skirts but not MINI skirts so I decided to come up with an idea for me and Tarina to do a collaboration/mashup of two streetwear brands and since Deck clothing goes well together as a set, it had to be done with Nicce London. So I looked for my own piece to match the top and I'm really feeling baggy type basketball shorts this summer instead of batty riders. I jumped on Asos and found a pair of pinstripe knitted drop crotch shorts in the men's section and Bob was your uncle! Outfit sorted! I then continued the dark blue/navy colour scheme with Adidas Supercolor trainers. The rest was history!














We hope you enjoyed this post. Please continue to follow us on our social medias to keep up to date with what we're up to!
Until next time xx

Pink Clouds


Hey everyone, it's Tarina here! As you all probably know pink has been a staple colour this ss16, especially baby pink and mauve, so of course we had to do a Photoshoot dedicated to the colour! Now if you're like me and you're not really into bright girlie colours then at first you might be a little wary of this colour trend but hopefully this post will help change that. You probably won't be going out tomorrow in all pink but hopefully it will at least help you find a few statement pink pieces to add to your closet.

So this week we've been puttin up little previews of the pink cloud shoot on Instagram-which you should already know because you are all loyal followers on the gram hopefully. This shoot has been one of our most exciting shoots so far because we experimented with props I.e. pink smoke and shot it on a rooftop,which although difficult due to the wind was also really fun. 

So we originally just wanted to do a pink/mauve coloured shoot and then I had the brilliant idea to experiment with some smoke. 

So anyway onto the most important part...the clothes! Generally when styling I like to choose a main item and then work around that so my staple for this shoot was a pink faux leather skirt. From there I found a pair of patent leather heeled boots that went perfectly with the skirt and finished off with a white crop top as I didn't want to go all pink.

What's a banging pink photoshoot without Thanai?! Yes, yes guys be very excited that we were both in on this shoot and posting collectively about the planning and our outfits. Contrary to Tarina's over zealous lie, it was actually my idea to do a photoshoot using smoke to create an artistic effect. Ofcourse I will not take away her executive decision to do a pink shoot as she earned it. The pictures came out great considering the difficulty we had with the wind!

Let's talk about my outfit! So I had ordered all three of the items I was wearing for next day delivery a week before and they didn't come on time which meant I was in a panic. My sister and I came up with an idea to do a contrast of our style, she wanted to do a smart look where as I kinda wanted to do a casual look. Royal mail/Yodel/Dpd took the absolute mick and luckily I managed to receive them an hour before the shoot. How kind of them! I've been wanting to purchase a bomber jacket for ages but I didn't want to go for the regular colours everyone goes for so the idea for the pink shoot gave me an excuse to get it. I thought it went quite well with the crepe midi bandage dress that I purchased from Pretty Little Thing as it gave a layered yet edgy look.

I know what you guys want to ask...

Yes, the creepers are fake! I think Ego Official did a really good job of making a dupe of Rihanna x Puma and they are very comfortable!













I hope you guys like the photos and continue to follow us on our journey! I have included a Youtube video vlog that we did that day which includes how I accomplished my makeup look and the daily antics we get up to on a blog shoot below. Enjoy! Xx
