the whole time i was in redlands, i made my little brother devin take my outfit photos for the blog, so it only seemed fitting that we reversed roles on my last day there and i snapped a few photos of his outfit. he was proudly wearing two of his prized christmas gifts, a pair of green dr. martens and a nice new cpo jacket. while i was there, we talked a lot about clothes and even spent a day checking out menswear boutiques in la. i don’t know a ton about menswear, so it was interesting to observe. since there really are less options style-wise, there’s a much bigger focus on quality and fit than you typically see in women’s clothing. it stood as a nice reminder to focus on quality and craftsmanship. case in point, he may be wearing some simple basics, but they’re all very solid pieces meant to last a very long time. anyway, these photos were taken in my grandmother’s back yard. my brother is a bit serious, but i still managed to get him to do a “calivintage” jump for me, haha!

Your brother is as fabulous as you are. Like his style!
I’m loving those green shoes. Great post!
This is fun!
Cool photos, your brother is just as stylish as you are. And I can definitely see a resemblance in your facial expressions :)
I just wanted to let you know that I borrowed one of your pics for a favourites feature over at my blog. Of course I linked back to you ;)
Come and check it out if you like.
Happy Friday!

ahh, those green Doc’s!
Aw!! Are we talking about Redlands, California? I love that little town :)
Style and quirk run in the family!! Love this post :)
I have a little brother too but, sadly, I don’t think he would be willing to pose for me. Haha!
Sometimes I am so jealous of boys and their flatness, the way clothes lie on them. I would dress like this everyday if I were a boy (sometimes I do anyway)!
dude, i know what you mean. i borrowed some of my brothers jeans while i was in redlands and it’s just not fair. they look so cool on him, but alas, i am not a boy and menswear will never look as slick on me. but i’m with you, i still do it anyway!
hmmm I love these green boots !! I have similiar ones in red, loll nice !!

I like his whole outfit…especially the green shoes. And you guys are both really good “photo jumpers”! I, too, wish I could dress like that everyday and practically do.

You’re brother is a cutie pie and I love his style. Those green DM’s are fabulous.
I can really see the family resemblance in these pictures… and you are equally well dressed! Now we just need to work on bringing quality and fit back to womenswear…
I love your shoes!!!!!

I always feel like I need to pay more attention to menswear. Your brother is a very snazzy dresser! I love the green docs!
Very handsome and stylish!!!!!!
he’s so cute, erin! loving these shots.
Your brother is seriously so cool. I haven’t seen dark green docs like that in so long! I think it’s pretty obvious that mad style runs in your family. :)

arg! i love your bro!! haha, you guys have a similar facial difference like my and my bro, mine is more round his is more long, but we have the same eyes…its not until u look at pictures do you see the relation…some how irl i never notice our similarities
haha, same! when people tell us we look alike, both of us are usually pretty bewildered, even though we both know we kinda look alike. he’s like the boy version of me!
oh wow, he does have a LOT of style and those green shoes are killer! He’s kinda like your twin but in a guy sort of way ;-)
Your brother is hot. That’s all.

I know I’m a little late to the party, but you and your brother have such fantastic style. I love those green Docs with the workshirt and jeans.
