Backcountry Style

By the time you get to see this, I'll be on my next "back" anything adventure. I just thought I'd share these photos with you (officially).

Stunning scenery.


And even more interesting outfits.


Please note the accessories.



Stretching out after 32 kms. Aw. that was nothing... the company and the fear of bears made it an easy-breezy hike.
except this knee kept givign me a hard time.

Wonder why?

Women's Travel Fashion

“Women used to travel with their families or their husbands to set destinations or on orchestrated tours. Now more and more women are interested in getting off the beaten track and wandering the globe, either on their own or with other women."

-James Bond

Ah sister you are headed out for an adventure on your own. What a rebel you are... at least from Mr. Bond's perspective. Of course we must remember that he is, although dashing, a "Misogynistic Dinosaur", to quote a lovely woman of distinction.

Now as women of grace and style we must retain our sense of fashion while dressing sensibly for travel.

While wanting to be comfortable we must not be afraid to stand out and wear the clothing we want to wear. No one says that one cannot be comfortable and fashionable at the same time, and it is my belief that if the clothing makes a woman feel good then she will be comfortable no matter where she is.

Now sister, don't forget to have fun on your journey. After all, how could you not have fun trying on all that Memento Mori jewellery? Try on some for me!

Lastly, I hope you enjoy your canoe trip. :)

'member the time we...?

Hey, Sister!
Remember the time we......



then...


and ........



and then we.......



let's do that again.

Welcome!!!

We have officially moved to this new domain name: Sisters & Such. Since I had just started this blog without really knowing how it was going to turn out I simply named it whatever was the first name to pop inside my head!

Now that it has been a month of doing this with my sister, and talking things over with her we have finally agreed that this name best portrays what it is we do here! There will probably still be some changes but we will promise nothing major.

So I hope you all enjoy the adventures the two of us have here on Sisters & Such!


Sister! As I promised I have a task for you. Since I have transferred all of the posts from our previous domain to this one, all I need you to do is change the post date of these ones here to their rightful date and time! THANKS!!! :)

Fringe Project

In one of the first posts on this blog, my sister mentioned that she's the one who creates clothes, and I'm the one who creates accessories. Unsure of my own capabilities, I didn't believe her at the time...

... however I've noticed over the past couple of months that she's right! I do make accessories (or try to at least).

Hot the heels of her last post, I'd like to show case my most recent home made accessory...
my fringe bracelet.

but first...

Inspiration:

I don't really like fringe, and when I first saw Kasmira wearing hers, my face did a few twitches. But she pulled it off so flawlessly, it made me think it was possible:


And then I was drawn wearing a fringe bracelet

I only had a week to either find one, or make one.

A quick trip to the fabric store and a few pin-pricks in my fingers later I had my very own navy fringe bracelet....

Voila!

And a complete outfit for our epic event, exactly as it was drawn.


Except, you missed drawing the sunglasses, Sister ;)

"O.k. I'll come if you stop saying that."

My sister and I have to admit something... we're Twilight fans. Now before any judgmental conclusions are made, hear me out.

We are aware of all of the faults in the Twilight Saga. We don't enjoy the Summit Entertainment paraphernalia that has been tossed across the media. We are not a part of the screaming girl club. We don't change our Facebook statuses to Twilight related topics, and we do not have posters plastered on our walls.

That being said, we see the movies as soon as they come out, and see them more than once in theatre. We search the web for new fan made art. We stay up to date with how the movies are progressing, and what Stephenie Meyer is working on.

One of our favorite aspects about the Twilight Saga is the fashion. Stephenie Meyer takes special care in the books to make sure her readers know each character's style. It is from using what Meyer says in the books as a base, that one may create whole lines of clothing based on each character. As an artist, and a person who is fascinated by fashion I have attempted such a task with the dedicated help and inspiration of my sister.

The two of us spend considerable amounts of time talking about the clothing, and accessories that would fit into the different character's style. Mainly we discuss the Cullen family. Their style is best described in the books, and is the most exciting to play around with.

With the release of Eclipse we wanted to involve our brother. He has attempted to be understanding of our Twihardness ever since we agreed to support him in his LOTR Battle Strategy Game obsession. In order for him to come with us to the show he had to dress appropriately. No Twilight actor's faces, no everyday clothes. He had to dress more fashion forward than he has probably ever had to before.

In honor of the wolves having more of a role in Eclipse, we decided to take the styles that we have created for the Cullen family, and turn them into La Push styles. So since I am an Alice on a regular basis then for this event my style was, Alice: La Push. My sister is a Rosalie and so she was, Rosalie: La Push. Our brother, Emmett: La Push.

I did up a few drawings of what we might wear:

Emmett, Rosalie, Alice


This is what we ended up wearing:

Emmett



Rosalie


Alice


Group


And even the actors playing these roles show some similarities:



My sister and I will continue to be Twilight fans, but we won't be caught dead in Twilight merchandise.

P.s. had to post in a hurry more pics coming!

Busted

This is not my closet.
This is my friends closet.
She busted me pillaging her closet.
I made off with a few fabulous things,
but left a few fabulous things behind as a peace offering.....
... you know..... so I can pillage again after her next shopping trip.
