Twins Reunite in Boston- Photoshoot!

This is a historic moment for Meggasus and Katie-Lu blog... For the first time EVER Meggasus and I were able to both take part in a collaborative photoshoot with the fabulous photographer, Miss Emily Tebbetts! Meggasus was finally able to make the trip up from Storrs CT to visit me in Boston... It was wonderful to be reunited!

Our shoot with Emily began at the reflecting pool and we eventually drifted to Newbury street to take some urban-chic photos.

This first Instax photo is my personal favorite taken from the day... however, Meggasus prefers the 2nd black and white photo... Which do you prefer?

FYI: Meggasus is on the left and I am on the right.




I personally love the natural feel of the Instax photo. There is just something exciting about the idea of only having one chance to take a perfect picture. If something goes wrong, you cannot go back and edit!



Meggasus's teal bracelet is from the Jazz festival on Columbus Ave we attended earlier that weekend. It adds a nice touch of color to our all-black theme of the shoot. My black and gold earrings are from Forever21.


This photo was taken in front of the gorgeous "Christian Church of Science" on Mass Ave. I love how the cool angles of this photo work so well with the beautiful architecture of the church... It provided the perfect backdrop for our photoshoot!


This next one was taken on Newbury street.... Meggasus's expression looks as though she belongs on the front of a 90's album cover!



This last photo is extremely interesting visually. The combination of the hair blowing in the wind with the shadow of the hand makes for a very unique photo.... it definitely highlights Emily's talent as a photographer.


Now since you've seen photos of us together for the first time, the question is, can you tell us apart?!

For more information about the clothing you see in this post, see my previous entry about the consignment store "Rescue" located on Newbury Street!

I hope you are all having a wonderful week!

"Rescue" on Newbury Street

Many of our followers may recall that Meggasus and I have a passion for going to secondhand stores and creating trendy outfits out of miscellaneous treasures that we find. We can spend hours searching through the racks at the Salvation Army in order to find unique pieces we can add to our wardrobe. Being in the city, Boston has many ideal locations to find thrifted deals such as Second Time Around, The Garment District, Poor Little Rich Girl and The Closet. However, a few weeks ago I came across "Rescue" located at 244 Newbury Street, which has easily become my newest favorite consignment shop.

How is works is that they selectively buy women and men's clothing on a walk in basis. All the items they resell must be up to date with the current trends. While reading their website I was somewhat surprised at how picky the criteria is for what they select...For example, they do not accept any vintage clothing from after 1980, lounge wear, business attire, formal dresses or furcoats! Also, all items must be up to date with the current trends... even "classic" styles will not be accepted. They do not have an area for backstock so every item must be in season. However, this just goes to prove that "Rescue" prefers quality over quantity and knows its target market. Take a look at the this photo of Meggasus and I decked out in our recently purchased "Rescue" attire.

Although Rescue does carry a lot of expensive designer brands, the majority of the store is very reasonably priced. I was able to purchase that black blazer for 30$ and the gold studded tube top dress I'm wearing underneath for only $10... The lace top Meggasus is wearing was only $20! We got away like bandits...This photo is a preview to one of our most recent photoshoots that will be featured on the blog shortly, so stay tuned!

Some of the designer items I saw in the store while I was browsing included Levi's Marc by Marc Jacobs, American Apparel, Dolce Vita, Betsey Johnson, Zara, and BGBC. They had an amazing selection!

Here are some of my favorite items currently featured on their blog.


Helmut Lang Dress, $200


Marc by Marc Jacobs Dress, $120


Black Cross Shredded Tee, $40


Diane Von Furstenburg Silk Top, $44

I can't wait to go back to Rescue. They make the avid thrift store shopper's job simple by only choosing the most fashion forward items to sell in their store, so you don't have to spend hours looking through racks of clothing that are outdated!
