Spring is green


Hey everyone!
Finally, we've made an outfit post which screams spring. Everything is in that springish mood that we've been waiting for a long time. Even the clothes, colors and the whole surrounding were sunny and in the mood for an excellent outfit post. But still, weather is unpredictable so we needed layers - which is a great opportunity to put on some unusual colors and clothes together.
Right now we don't have much time for photo sessions because finals and tests have arrived and we are more than busy studying, but we managed to take pics of our outfits that we wore on Monday. I chose a mint spring dress and bunch of golden jewelry with beige cardigan, bag and sneakers, while B put on a striped t-shirt and jeans, with a very original bag and leather ballerinas.
Hope you enjoy and see you soon!


Zdravo svima!
Napokon je stigao jedan outfit post koji je u znaku proleća koje je trenutno u jeku. Sve nas asocira na proleće: garderoba,  boje, okruženje na slikama, sve je tako verdo i radosno. Ali ipak, vreme ostaje nepredvidivo i nikad ne znamo kada i da li će biti kiše i oblačnosti što je odličan povod za slojevito oblačenje. Slojevi su odlični za kombinovanje kreatvnih autfita, specijalno kada se kombinuje više različitih boja. Trenutno nismo u mogućnosti da često slikamo naše kombinacije zbog silnih obaveza u školi, ali smo odvojile malo vremena da vam pokažemo kombinacije koje smo nosile u ponedeljak. Ja sam se opredelila za laganu mint haljinu uklopljenu sa gomilom zlatnog nakita i smedjim džemperom, torbom i starkama, a B je nosila prugastu belo-roze majicu i farmerke, sa torbom sa motivima karte sveta i koznim baletankama i jaknom.
Nadamo se da ćete uživati u postu i vidimo se uskoro!

Behind the scenes: Photography tips and tricks

Za ovaj post smo pripremile par recepata i saveta za dobre slike i dobre fotosesne uopste, ako nemate profesionalne uslove za dobru fotografiju. Ovo mozda nece biti interesantno onima koji se ne bave fotografijom ali mislimo da ovi saveti mogu biti korisni cak i za one koji nemaju puno iskustva sa fotoaparatom u rukama.
Mi, buduci da se bavimo modnim blogom, uglavnom biramo lokaciju za slikanje u skladu sa autfitom i nasim raspolozenjem. Ako se slikamo napolju biramo suncano vreme, jer atmosfera uvek zraci kroz sliku,mnogo vise nego sto ocekujemo. Medjutim, vreme nas ponekad ne slusa tako da, ako uspemo da nadoknadimo nedostatak sunca nekim drugim dodacima u slici, bilo da je autfit, pozadina, kadar ili jednostavno osmeh, slike budu odlicne.
Sto se tice sminke i izgleda samog modela kada izostavimo garderobu, prvo i osnovno pravilo je da sminke ne bude previse. Ne u smislu da bude estetski lepo - to je pitanje ukusa- vec da poenta nije u kolicini pudera ili karmina nego u nacinu na koji se stavlja. Na slikama, kao i uzivo, mane na kozi i sjaj ne mogu da se uklone puderom vec uglom pod kojim pada svetlost i kadrom. Za bubuljice, pegice i ostale sitnice koje vam smetaju bolje upotrebite korektor,jer se tekstura pudera previse vidi na close up slikama i te sitne mane jedino mogu da se srede dobrom upotrebom fotosopa. Za karmin vazi otprilike isto- treba da bude sveze i precizno namazan u trenutku slikanja jer se svaka greska primecuje. Ako vam je ruka vesta kada je sminka u pitanju, sa ovim nece biti problema.
Ranije spomenuta atmosfera je itekako bitna, i na nju ne uticu vremenske prilike ili bilo koji drugi faktor vec vi. Lepota i duh slike je zasnovana na vasem raspolozenju u tom trenutku. Bolje preskocite slikanje kada ste nervozni ili umorni, jer ne samo da slika nece ispasti onako kako ste zeleli vec i ne sirite dobru energiju i cinite ljude u okolini nervoznim. Samo se opustite - moze i muzika da vam pomogne. Mi to uvek radimo kada se slikamo za blog; pustimo vrstu muzike u zavisnosti od toga kakav duh slike zelimo. Neku malo mirniju muziku pustamo za classy slike (Lana del Ray), uz neki harsh outfit pustamo neki pop ili haus (Rihanna ili Beyonce), i tako dalje.
To bi bilo to sto se tice nasih dosadasnjih iskustava vezanih za fotografiju. B je uglavnom fotograf jer ima mnogo bolji osecaj za kadar i uspeva da izvede od slike ono sto zeli u trenutku. L vise sluzi kao model za njene eksperimente. Uglavnom, nadamo se da su vam ovi saveti korisni ako nameravate da se poigrate sa fotoaparatom u skorije vreme, a uz njih vam ostavljamo da pogledate slike sa session-a koji smo organizovale kako bismo pronasle odgovarajuce slike za novi blog dizajn.
Uzivajte i vidimo se uskoro! Baci, B&L.


For this post, we prepared you some tips and tricks on how to make great photos and enjoy in photo sessions even though you don't have any command in professional photography. Those who don't like photography might find this less appealing than those who do, but we think this are some advises that everyone will find useful one way or another.
Even though we are fashion bloggers, we must pay attention to some other details apart from outfit such as background of our pics that must match our outfits as much as our mood. We are trying to take pictures outside only when it's sunny because sun affects mood of the picture a lot more than you think. But, we can't always catch the sunny part of the day so we adjust light and colors using Photoshop, we choose brighter and more colorful background or simply smile and pics turn out great too.
When it comes to make-up the key is in the way of putting it on, not in the amount. On pictures, just like in person, you can't hide blemish just with foundation-it's better to use concealer. Every other imperfection can be removed with Photoshop, but you also have to be careful and not overdo it too. When it comes to lipstick it's basically the same thing-it has to be put on precisely because every mistake is noticeable. If you have a steady hand you wont have problems with this make-up part.
Actually, atmosphere is the key for getting what you want from your pics. It's not about the weather, it's not about the light, it's about you. Mood and emotion that picture is sending depends only on your own mood. So if you are tired, angry, sad skip taking pictures. You'll just be even more upset because pics are not turning out the way you planned. But if you really have to do that shooting in that very moment try to relax by playing some music you like. That's our little secret when we take pics for the blog. If pics are supposed to be black and white and classy we play something like jazz and blues or even Lana Del Rey and if we need some wild and free atmosphere we play Beyonce or Rihanna and so on.
So, that would be it when it comes to our current photography experience. B is usually a photographer and L is a model for her experiments. To sum up, we hope these advises will be helpful if you decide to play with your camera and now we're leaving you to see these pics from a session organised in order to find a perfect pic for new blog design.
 Enjoy and talk to you soon, kisses

Trend update: The Denim Jacket

Hello lovelies, yesterday we took pictures at Knez Mihailova street which is the most famous street in Belgrade. As always, it was crowded and people were buzzing through it so we decided to take pictures in front of Coco Mademoiselle and Acqua di Gioia adverts to avoid that crowd. But still, people just walked and didn't care about us doing something there and one woman actually photo bombed Lena's picture by sitting behind her while I photographed. We were so pissed at that moment but pics ended up great in the end.
Now let's focus on our outfits. Even though they are completely different they have one thing in common: Denim jacket.  Denim jacket is always a complete must-have because it can be combined with almost everything. Combined with maxi dress, jumpsuit, printed pants or even tights and baggy shirt it looks trendy and gives outfit a dose of style. As much as we wear it in everyday outfits, it can be worn on a night out mixed with a bit more elegant dress and wedges or slingbacks. It can be used in both day and night outfits, you can find it in almost any shop for reasonable price and in different designs.
 Baggy, short, with studs, glitter or fur, anyone can find their perfect denim jacket! Or you can just steal it from your boyfriend/girlfriend/best friend and add some details yourself, the choice is yours. 
Now, enjoy in these pictures and talk to you soon!
Kisses, Becky & Lena.

Pozdrav svima! Juče smo prošetale Knez Mihailovom, najpoznatijom ulicom u Beogradu. Bila je prepuna ljudi, kao i obično, tako da smo pokušale da se sklonimo u stranu ispred Chanel i Armani reklame (podrazumevana lepa, fashionable pozadina). Međutim, u svom tom haosu niko zapravo nije ni primetio da se slikamo i svi su redovno upadali u kadar - jedna žena je čak i sela iza Lene potpuno opušteno dok sam je slikala. Taj momenat nas je iznervirao do kraja, ali kada smo pogledale slike shvatile smo da nije sve tako crno.
Da se vratimo na autfit. Na prvi pogled su kombinacije potpuno različite - Beki prati moderni, geometrijski stil noseći pravougaonu roze torbu i crno - bele šalvare dok Lenina kombinacija više vuče na neki opušteniji, divlji fazon sa tamnom šminkom i kovrdžavom kosom. Međutim, imaju jednu zajedničku stvar - teksas jaknu. To je fokus današnjeg posta. Teksas jakna je neophodan komad u ormaru, kog god oblika, veličine, sa bilo kojim detaljima, jer se stvarno mogu nositi uz bilo šta. Bilo da je ukombinovana uz haljinu, helanke i vrećastu majicu, pantalone sa printom, kombinezonom, daje kombinaciji neki pomalo retro ali ipak moderan izgled. Pored svakodnevnih kombinacija može se nositi i kad su u pitanju izlasci i žurke uz neku elegantniju haljinicu i sandale sa platformom.
Teksas jaknice u svakom mogućem obliku - velike, male, uske, vrećaste, kratke, sa krznom, nitnama, vezom, printom, stvarno bilo čime - mogu se naći u svakoj prodavnici po razumnoj ceni, što ih čini još isplativijim. Mada ih uvek možete ukrati od momka/devojke/najboljeg prijatelja ili prijateljice i dodati vaš lični pečat.
Sada vas puštamo da uživate u slikama, i čujemo se uskoro!
Šaljemo ljubav, B&L.

The great comeback

Okay, so it's been a long, long time since we updated our blog the last time and that's so not good. But, there is a valid excuse: we made a complete makeover of the blog design! What do you think about it? We didn't want to post anything until we change the design and changing design took too much time (more than a month apparently) so we didn't post for like ages.
I was thinking about this comeback post and concluded that it should be with photos from Instagram mainly because many things changed in our lives so it would be the perfect way for you to catch up with all of them. Of course, this post wont be that interesting for those who follow us on Instagram but don't worry, we have a vast of other posts prepared that are just waiting to be published. 
So, we hope you will enjoy and stay tuned for more.
xoxo B&L
p.s. Get ready for LOTS of pics :)
 Pošto je prošlo jako dugo otkad smo se poslednji put videli, odlučile smo da vam se izvinimo tako što smo malo izmenile izgled bloga. Kako vam se čini? Još odavno smo htele da promenimo dizajn, a budući da nam je više od mesec dana trebalo da to ostvarimo, nismo dugo postavljale jer smo želele da prvo uradimo to, pa sve ostalo što sledi.
  Razmišljale smo o tome kakav bi trebalo da nam bude ovaj takozvani ,,comeback" post i zaključile smo da bi idealno bilo da postavimo slike sa Instagrama, jer nam se puno toga dešava trenutno i to je dobar način da budete u toku. Ovo verovatno neće biti interesantno onima koji nas već prate na Instagramu ali za vas imamo još postova u rezervi koji samo čekaju da ih podelimo sa vama.
Uživajte i vidimo se uskoro!
B&L
p.s. Sledi dosta, DOSTA slika :)
