calivintage: family affairs spring 2012 sneak peek!

after my fifth trip to new york for fashion week, i’ve begun to start forming a few traditions. one is that i usually spend the entire trip joined at the hip with rebecca of the clothes horse. and the other is that we always head over to brooklyn to visit the very charming nina of family affairs. she always greets us with a very warm welcome and invites us into her studio to drink coffee and eat treats before previewing her collection and playing a bit of dress up!

on this particular visit, she showed us a lovely rack full of fun and whimsical pieces that have got me wishing we could fast forward six months to spring 2012 so i can prance about on some silly boardwalk wearing all of her designs. she just shot the lookbook with maya of turned out, so i promise to share the rest of the collection soon! but for now, i thought i would show just a few photos from our visit as a little tease. don’t you just love her amazing vintage tiger flats? and i seriously can’t get enough of that pretty necklace, which is from her jewelry collection, toujours toi!

  1. Oh my, that one with the orange zebra (?) pattern on it is beautiful, and I can’t even tell what it is, but I still want it! Oh and obviously those shoes are amazing! Looks like so much fun!

  2. I’m loving the proliferation of stripes in her collection, and the homey feel of the print on the dress in the first photo. It’s adorable and sweet.

    And geeze, those tiger/jaguar shoes are fierce. I looove them.
