monterey

i’m back from a weekend away in monterey, ca! it was brendan’s birthday on sunday, so we decided to head out of town right after work on friday and drove two hours to our room in asilomar all ready waiting for us with fresh wood in the fireplace. the next morning, we woke up bright and early to explore the area before ending the evening with celebratory chocolate mousse cake and champagne. some of our adventures included an epic breakfast of turkey and avocado benedict, a very fruitful trip to a local used bookstore, a beautiful drive along the scenic 17-mile drive, and a pleasant stroll along a trail in asilomar that led us to the beach in these photos! these are the types of weekends that i live for, these wonderful carefree days where i can just get away from it all to enjoy some outside air in the company of my favorite person!

and do you recognize this tunic? it’s the family affairs field of diamonds tunic made exclusively for of a kind that i’m giving away on my blog this week. if you’re interested in the details, you can read all about the tunic and the giveaway in this post, or you can simply enter to win it by signing up for the of a kind weekly mailing list! a winner will be randomly selected tomorrow evening, so get to it!

it’s friday and i’m finally beginning to feel back to normal! thank you so much for all your well wishes on my last post! i’m excited to be feeling better because i’m about to go on a quick weekend trip to the monterey/carmel area to celebrate brendan’s birthday. we booked an historic room designed by julia morgan at the asilomar state park and we have all sorts of fun weekend adventures planned out!

but until then, here is my last outfit of the week: you may remember this dress from my velma-inspired outfit a few months back, but this time i decided to revise the look a bit by chopping off a few inches from the skirt to create a mini dress. i’m always drawn to shorter lengths, so it’s hard for me to resist the urge to snip away at my hems! but in this case, i think less is definitely more. now let’s just see what i do with my hair…

dress: vintage psychedelic print dress
shoes: thrifted vintage heels
bag: j.w. hulme mini legacy bag
sunglasses: karen walker number six

boutique by jaeger fall 2011

August 22, 2011 18 Comments

i woke up this morning to overcast skies and chilly weather. so naturally, i decided to turn to some of the upcoming fall collections for a bit of inspiration. boutique by jaeger had one of my favorite spring collections this year, and their new fall 2011 collection is just as exciting! this season they’ve created a modern take on the classic english schoolgirl with wardrobe staples like duffle coats (which is have yet to incorporate into my own repertoire!) and a fun mix of plaids, stripes, florals, and fair isle. now i just have to decide which pieces i like the most!

caturday

i have to make a confession: i wear my leah goren cat print dress all the time. it’s the easy sort of piece that i can literally throw on after a long day at work to just wear around the house. and the type of dress that i pair with a cardigan on the weekend to run to the grocery store. and if you need evidence, here is one way i’ve worn it, and here is another. and this is the way that i wore it last weekend to scour for vintage at the alameda flea market.

dress: leah goren cat print dress (she takes custom orders!)
sweater: j.crew dream cardigan
bag: vintage woven tote
shoes: swedish hasbeens peep toe super high
glasses: bon look simply fabulous frames (if you use the code “bonlookgive” now through the month of september, you’ll get $10 off to your purchase and bonlook will donate $10 to childsight.)

street style at outside lands, days two and three

August 16, 2011 32 Comments

and just as quickly as it came, outside lands has drawn to a close. these are some more of my favorite street style shots from saturday and sunday at the festival. it was so crowded on the weekend days, that getting a decent shot was actually pretty challenging, but i still spotted plenty of fashionable festival-goers. just like last time, you can see many more of the bohemian styles i shot for free people on their blog: day two and day three.

i can’t express how fun of an experience it really was to watch all of the people pass by with their own unique personal style and to be able to take photos to document that moment in time. this is actually getting me really excited for new york fashion week, where i hope to snap even more street style photos!
