One thing you don't realize when you see street style blogs is that there is always someone behind the camera. We're always curious as to who's taking the pictures behind the scenes for some of our favorite dressers. Because you know what? They have to be incredibly patient. When we as sisters take each others' shots we're fine to take more time for detailed photos of our accessories, shoes, etc. But when someone else gets roped into it...say a husband... you feel more like getting a shot can be awkward at less opportune times. For instance, this was taken while out to dinner with some extended family. We broke away for a second to grab the shot before the light fell. So one shot was all I got (even though said man would've been happy to take more, I felt bad). And so, here is the shot showing an old H&M dress paired with metallic flats, gold and coral bangles and boutique bag. Sometimes a good dress is all you need for a weekend night. This particular one I love pairing with black tights, a chanel-ish jacket and booties, with the onset of cooler weather. Maybe come fall we'll get to show you that look. Until then, enjoy!

DIOR FALL 2012
We've been waiting to show you these looks for a while now. But we figured we'd wait until it started getting a little closer to fall. We loved the simplicity of this collection. But we also LOVED the skirt lengths! This particular length has been seen for quite a few seasons now and doesn't seem to be budging. Which is great for we modest girls! Also you guys, you have to start belting your coats. Look how chic it looks? Also...see the enhanced hip again? In these looks it's done a little more subtly, but nonetheless it's still there. And finally, where to get a metal belt like that....

SHORTS WITH BLAZERS
OK so here's the shot with the hair. I had it way more slicked back at first, but it seriously looked like I was bald! I saw one picture and ended up giving it more height. But really I think it's our massive foreheads that make this particular hairstyle never work on either of us :).
On with the inspiration. About a month ago we tweeted about how we saw an article in Vogue that talked all about wearing shorts with blazers. We got so excited that we couldn't wait to try out the pairing. We wore the combo for a while before it was finally shot for you guys, but we have to say that we think this is a great outfit for later summer. You know, the days where it's fairly warm out, but in the evenings it gets a bit cooler. I made the mistake of wearing this to an outdoor concert earlier in the summer and later regretted it with the heat. So definitely try it as it cools off a bit. We think then it will be more conducive to the weather. Zara blazer; Forever 21 shorts; Chinese Laundry shoes; Aldo bag; Forever 21 cuff; Kennecott quartz necklace and Tai Pan sunglasses.

MODEST LOOKBOOK - Lanvin
We just thought this was pretty dang classy...end of story. Lanvin's fall collection was definitely cool, but the bomber type top mixed with the flared skirt definitely took the cake for us. Also in a recent post coming up one of us tried to slick our hair back like so many girls do, and we just think it looks horrible on us. Do you guys feel like there are hairstyles that you just can't pull off? Please tell us we aren't alone....

YELLOWSTONE
What do you wear in Yellowstone? A big comfy blanket. Well to tell you the truth everything Melody wore was an absolute disaster because camping and fashion just do not mix. This particular morning pictured, you should be grateful that the outfit underneath was covered up by this hefty blanket. It was SOOOO cold that multiple layers of thermals, pants, sweatshirts and wool socks under hiking/water shoes, was of utmost necessity since staying warm was the priority. We woke up deathly early that morning to hear and possibly see the wolves in action (which we definitely did hear, but sadly couldn't see because of immense fog), that you are literally seeing Melody right after waking up (messy hair and all). We know that this is not a fashion post, but sometimes you gotta just leave it all behind. Being out with the buffalo wrapped up in a quilt hand-made by her Grandma Bea just felt right. Almost as though stepping back in time was the point of that morning. Seeing the bison and being out on the plains brings thoughts of settlers and native Americans to the forefront; where log cabins and teepees, quilts and furs were the essence of life. It's as though American history stares one in the face out there. And for a split second it's almost like you're back there. That's Yellowstone for you. We think you should go. We also think you should bring along a quilt. You definitely won't regret it.
