A few days ago, a friend told us she doesn't have the courage to wear
baby-yellow nail polish in autumn.

We have never really thought about this before but,
do people really consider soft pastel colours as a big no-no in the colder months?

We usually don't care much about what you're 'supposed' to wear,
in fact we like to express our personal style
standing out from the crowd, rather than blending in,
but we reckon that pastels are not the most obvious option for this season.

Inspired by the pretty pastel houses in Notting Hill,
we decided to do a little themed vintage shopping!

Qualche giorno fa, un'amica ci ha detto che non ha il coraggio di usare
uno smalto color giallo pallido in autunno.

Non ci avevamo mai riflettuto: ci facciamo davvero degli scrupoli a indossare
le tinte pastello nei mesi più freddi?

Di solito, noi non ci curiamo molto di cosa sia 'appropriato' indossare;
in effetti preferiamo esprimere il nostro stile personale e distinguerci, piuttosto che omologarci, ma riconosciamo che i colori pastello possano non essere
la scelta più ovvia per questa stagione.

I personally don't think there's anything 'wrong' with pastels in the colder months. I end up wearing them all year round x

I honestly don't make that much of a difference between summer or winter clothes/colors :) If I feel like wearing it, I'll wear it :)
Love the illustration!

I love your illustration style! It captures the area perfectly, how I'd love to live there!
Io credo che non sia questione di conformismo modaiolo, ma alcuni colori, fantasie e stoffe, stonano proprio con alcune stagioni. E questo soprattutto vale per gli accessori. Una camicia estiva sotto un maglione possiamo riciclarla al meglio, ma una scarpetta, una borsetta estiva in autunno... proprio no!
Grazie per gli spunti di riflessione dei vosti post, si conferma sempre un ottimo blog il vostro, le foto sono STREPITOSEEEE!!! E l'illustrazione, che dire, è deliziosissima!! <3

I love your blog! Your illustrations are so lovely. That's neat that you're twins--my mom is a twin too (fraternal although they look identical-it's uncanny). Thanks for stopping by my blog, I'm following you on bloglovin' now--can't wait to see what else is in store here! xx Susie @ takeout in couture.

Grazie mille Achan!
Riguardo alle stoffe siamo d'accordo con te, i colori invece secondo noi non dovrebbero essere stagionali, e le foto delle sfilate che abbiamo pubblicato (soprattutto quella di LV) sono un ottimo esempio :D
