Fashion Week, L.A.
I was recently in L.A. visiting a dear friend and I can attest, those West Coast gals have their own style.  It mainly goes like this: mixed neutrals, proportions, killer shoes, stand-out sunglasses and one (only one!) pop of color.  You might see a rocker t-shirt every once-in-a-while and sometimes there is a slight bohemian edge (after all, think of all that killer vintage shopping), but all in all, it’s modern, pretty and fabulous.  
Walking to Groundworks every morning with my friend and her faithful pooch, seeing the passer-bys and caffeine addicts was my daily fashion show.  
I heart L.A.  Do you?

Because girls shouldn’t have all the fun…

Let’s Discuss:

  • Difficult denim to pull off, but she does it with aplomb.  The cuffs are wide, divine. Almost Annie Hall-esque, but modern.
  • Prim cream button up, buttoned all the way up.  One might be temped to leave a button or two undone, but she refrained.
  • If you look closely, the jacket not just brown, but a beautiful glen plaid.  Shoulders are slightly big, length a little long.  Borrowed from a boyfriend, perhaps?
  • Hair lighter on the bottom - makes me think of long summers in the sun, not a bottle of dye.
  • The visual definition of gamine?

I’m all for crazy sometimes, but when it comes to the end of the day, simple is good.

Lately I’m all about a crisp shirt.  Classic white need not apply…

Let’s discuss:

  1.  Tangerine trousers.  Ok in my book any ol’ time of year.
  2. High waist.  I’m not partial to too many people’s navels.
  3. Is that a pale acid washed denim top I spy?  If so, kudos.
  4. The cobalt bag is perfection. (or is it Klein Blue?)
  5. Sneakers is normally a four letter word in my book, but those white and blue sneaks are killin’ it! (And if they’re Nikes, you get bonus points from this Oregon girl)

On the move…

I applaud the color, the stripes, the volume, and the boldness required to wear such a piece (and not let it wear you).  But most of all, I applaud the wind and the photographer equally, and their perfect timing.  

Beauty in the wind…

I LOVE these ladies!  They do not give a damn about what anyone else thinks and they’ve been doin’ it for a long, long time.  

Check out Ari Seth Cohen’s Advanced Style to see some truly amazing ladies who are loving life and showing it through their wardrobe.  Best advice I’ve read so far: 

“Gloves make the outfit.  If it’s the right glove, it can do so much for you.”
