Vintage PENDELTON TWINS !

Winter is quite strange where we live this year...

One of the warmer for almost 100 years!

But it's also a sad one, with rain, rain and rain...

So when we can enjoy a few sun rises we must go out!

I have to share with you a strange fact...

I saw my husband going out dressed like this a few weeks ago,

and I shout something like "OMG!!!!!!"

"That's crazy!!!! I have the same shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!"

This 40's pendleton have been one of my favorites for almost 10 years....

But I had never realized that Sylvain had the same one!

But not really the same...

Sylvain has a shirt for men, double flat pockets and right closure.

Mine has only one simple pocket and left closure as all women shirts!

When I look at labels mine must be a little older, probably for the 40's and Sylvain's one from the 50's.

So for once I asked him to be dressed like a pair...

Black and white shoes...

Dark pants...

I chose some bright assessories....

to give a more girly look to this boyish outfit.

I really love Pendleton shirts...

on men of course but also for women!

But I must tell you that the one I own is the only one I have ever seen since 15 years!

Perfect twins, aren't we????

Do you have some Pendeltons in your wardrobe ?

Do you have some vintage matching clothes with your man ?

HARCOURT Studio

Have you ever heard about HARCOURT Studio?

It's the most famous photographers studio in France since 1934.

I don't known if HARCOURT is famous out of France...

They are really well know for their vintage style black and white portraits.

All stars from the Golden age were pictured by them from Clark Gable to Brigitte Bardot, but also modern actors like Jean Dujardin.

I could have show you many and many gorgeous portraits,

but I will only show you this one!

This is an original from the 40's that Sylvain and I found in an old movie theater in Lille.

Just a french starlette but you can see the quality of this picture!

So why am I speaking about Harcourt Studio?

That's because we heard about something amazing for Valentine's day...

One of Harcourt's photographer will be at a commercial center near home and will picture a portrait for free for all couples that will come. So Romantic!!!

We were really excited because do you know how much costs a portrait in their studio?

About 2000 euros!!! Can you believe that???

So I chose this classic 40's style for the shoot...

Vintage 40's crepe dress with nice details.

Sylvain wanted to wear his new 50's sweater.

We have to wait a bit, because a lot of couples wanted a nice portrait...

And here is the result...

I must tell you that we were quite dissapointed..

The lights give a really nice background on this picture,

But as it was free, I don't think the photographer gave his best...

There are some really bad shadows on both our faces,

picture could have been a bit more dynamic...

we think we look quite fater and older on that picture...

finally our personnal little pictures are not so bad!

I think if a photographer don't take time to understand their models...

see what can be their best angles and change lights orientation from model to model, he cannot have a perfect result.

You must take time to have a good portrait!
