Autumns here! Officially my (& Ambreen's) favourite time of the year. I love throwing on over sized knits, scarves and comfortable shoes to kick around in the leaves. Clearly did NOT go for my usual autumn outfit today! 

Ambreen's been on my case about me dressing more and more like a boy so I'm sure she'll be pleased with my efforts today. I even went to the trouble of throwing on a pair of my mum's vintage earrings and I NEVER wear earrings. Hope shes proud haha !

The final few pictures are of my brother, the current photographer. I thought his look today was cool, and deserved a spot on the blog!

p.s BERLIN TOMORROW !

It was the age of wisdom

"It was the age of wisdom" is a quote from the opening chapter of 'A Tale of Two Cities' by Charles Dickens. The quote is quite apt in describing today, because all of a sudden A Levels are over and we're both off to university in a month. It's a little bit scary and a whole lot exciting to say the least. I'm studying English and Irsa is going to be studying Architecture. This also gives us the excuse of doing lots and lots of shopping, after all if we're going to attempt to pave our way in the big bad world of adulthood, we're obviously going to need a brand new wardrobe to help us along! For some reason, today I think both myself and Irsa feel wiser. It's the start of a whole new experience and we can't wait to share it all with you. Sorry for the overload of pictures! We couldn't resist! Hope your all well.

Echoes fade & Memories die

The title of this post 'echoes fade and memories die', is a quote from a poem by Lewis Carroll, titled "A boat beneath a sunny sky". We thought the quote was perfect for the photographs we took earlier. Both Irsa, and I are wearing at least one item of vintage clothing, a piece of the past you could say. Irsa's jumper is vintage, as is my jacket. While my look is reminiscent of the 70's disco scene, this was not intentional but I think the jacket photographed well and that is all that matters really. Irsa's look is not particular of one era, its more a collection of clothes and accessories that resulted in a striking outfit with references to different cultures, such as the turban and the earrings. Do you own any pieces of vintage clothing or jewellery? This is our first post, so naturally we're rather nervous. We hope you like it! 

The next post should hopefully be up on Saturday!
