i tell you, the more blogs i frequent each week, the harder it is for me to pick only 6 outfits to feature in my round up posts! but i suppose you can always see everything that’s inspiring me in an almost constant flow on my tumblr. and onto my favorites:trendy crew: carlota, sonar barcelona
ok, this lovely lady is wearing a lot of what i’m loving for summer: round sunglasses, cute little shorts, and ankle straps! i’ve only been getting into ankle strap wedges and platforms, but her cute little sandals have got me thinking about flats! much more casual and easy.

altamira nyc: tati cotlier
i’ll admit, this photo isn’t actually from this week, but it did make the rounds on tumblr and i fell in love. i’m really seeing the possibility of a cute little sweater like that, especially when paired with stripes, slacks, and cute little oxfords!

hoy fashion: topshop bandstand picnic
i have been really loving the outfits coming up on hoy fashion lately. there is just something so appealing to the easy simplicity of a cute 90’s dress with oxford boots and a loud pop of bright lipstick. i think this is appealing to my 10 year old self in some ways (you know, way back in 1993.)

team peter stigter: streetfashion paris menswear
i love this outfit because i find it so perfectly androgynous. the prim and proper button up oxford tucked in to those cute rolled up shorts with the best pair of oxfords i have ever seen and a clutch!? not to mention the great colors. it’s basically amazing.

hoy fashion: topshop bandstand picnic
another really simple, yet perfect outfit. i really like the fluffy, lacy cream dress with a denim jacket. and it reminds me that i don’t even have a denim jacket anymore. i think i need one asap.

mr. newton: the sundowner
and of course, i am collecting as many inspiring pictures of girls in scalloped shorts because they can be trick to style. this is actually blogger alma luna. i definitely like her cool pairing complete with a pretty headscarf as the topper!

hello mr. fox: coffee
i love the ease and simplicity of this perfect summer outfit. silk blouse, casual shorts, and perfect oxfords paired with a killer clutch and sweet round sunglasses. it’s pretty much the best summer uniform ever.

vanessa jackman: running with the fashpack, australian fashion week 2010
this lovely lady has such excellent styling. the belted short sleeved jacket is so right for when the temperatures drop in the evening and i love her straight skirt with socks and wedge booties. this is a perfect example of transitional dressing while we wait for the weather to actually get hot here in the bay area!

hanneli mustaparta: brighter days, darker colors
it’s official, this is going to be the year that i find myself a cute floral romper. it takes off the edge and keeps you from looking like you belong in shop class and it makes just the perfect statement so all you’ll need are cute oxfords and a simple belt.

froufrouu: patient, aware
this outfit is so dead on! i love the combination of high rise khakis with the over-sized hat and clutch. and i think i need to get myself a pair of neutral kork-ease wedges like that! so perfect paired with dark socks!

the stylish heart: green machine
her styling is just lovely, but it’s amazing how that perfect shade of green shorts take it to completely new territory. a reminder that a pop of color is in order for the summer.

hoy fashion: topshop bandstand picnic, liverpool
with all of the neutrals we’ve been seeing lately, i didn’t realize how fresh it could be to don a pair of white shorts with a white top. and she keeps it perfectly cool with classic sunglasses and a killer pair of oxfords.

trendy crew: rebecca, primavera sound barcelona
one of the things that’s most inspiring to me about this particular outfit is her use of color. i don’t know why i would never think to combine those two shades of blue and green, but it is so artful and fresh to me! and of course this makes me really want a perfect vintage romper!yishyene: listening to justin beiber as i type this.. nooo
i love the romantic combination of lace tights with a pretty floral tempered by tough boots and seductive fur! this outfit is a total win.

team peter stigter
i really love the way this is basically a simple and preppy casual look: it’s an oxford blouse with a sweater and jacket, but it’s a good reminder that you can still have a bit of fun with printed jeans. i may not go for the checkerboard pattern, but i could see trying this with a pair of fun floral jeans!

fashion forestry: trendy friday hidden prettiness
i have to tell you, i’m pretty much crazy about every single outfit this darling wears! she clearly has the most amazing and quirky vintage wardrobe of anyone i know. this is actually one of her more toned down looks, but i just love that amazing dress with a pretty pink topper.

curious fancy
i was tipped off to this new blog by one of my favorite vintage sellers and tumblr ladies, lisa zain of vintage shoe love. i can’t get over her perfect romper paired with those sweet mary janes. perfect summer simplicity!

easy fashion: karen, rue tiquetonne, paris
this lovely lady is making me have second thoughts about transitioning to a pixie cut. she has the perfect bob! and i love her inky palette with thick rimmed glasses and beautiful layers. you can’t notice at first, but she’s added tons of texture and interest in the little details. just check out those serious gloves.

all the pretty birds: mimosas in her garden
this is seriously the most perfect outfit and probably my favorite of the week. simple silk blouse with floral shorts, oxfords, and a seriously cool pair of sunnies. i die!

stockholm street style: sania
again with the floral shorts! (hint: i just ordered a pair for myself and am thinking of ways to style them.) i like her quirky cool look and of course i gotta love the jessica simpson charles anastase knockoffs. i got a hint from one of my readers that they’ll be replenishing stock in july….!

face hunter: saint petersburg aurora fasion week
since writing my post about floral headpieces a few days ago, i feel like i’m noticing them everywhere. which is perfect because it means more inspiration for when i finally get one for myself. i love the simple combo here: sweet, but not over the top at all.

clothes, cameras, and coffee: lady sing the blues so well
i can thank rebecca for posting a few outfits from this blog on her tumblr. i pretty much instantly added her to my blog reader because all of her outfits and shots are too stunning for words. this looks like an editorial in a magazine!

leproust vintage: under the influence volume 1 (la, la, la, la, la)
ok, how can you not love an outfit inspired by daria? i love kristen’s cool and modern take on the classic grunge outfit complete with the perfect pair of round sunnies!

stylesightings: modern dandy
this lady is rocking the menswear look so hard! from the cool bowler hat, to the perfect trench and that amazing pair of silk striped pants. she really makes me want to go all out and get in touch with my masculine side.

this week, i was so blown away by so many great outfits that it was particularly hard to choose which ones to post. i’m trying to keep it down to only 6 for these posts since i don’t want to overwhelm. soooo, if you want to see everything that inspires me on a daily basis, i suggest you check out the calivintage tumblr. it’s basically all of the inspiration for calivintage wrapped up into one heavily updated blog. now onto the looks:

hanneli mustaparta: high waisted shorts
i will always and forever be blown away by the way that some people can take such different pieces, throw them together in a completely unexpected way and turn it into such a complete outfit. how does she do it?

the world looks red: 4th of may
a perfect springtime outfit. straw hat, check! romantic blouse, check! polka dot skirt, check!

the stylish heart: double stripes
it’s become pretty obvious that i’m addicted to stripes right now. so much so that i was thinking i needed to tone it down. but seeing this look makes me think that maybe i should turn it up a notch? so good.

mr. netwon: hester street fair
that’s siri of ringo, have a banana! as shot by eddie newton. just like the clogs trend, i thought i could never be convinced to like overalls, but her easy look has pretty much done the trick!

variations: beige felt
ah, such wonderful styling. the soft gray and white are so pleasing to my eyes and do you see what she did there matching the big polka dots on her blouse with that round purse? pretty awesome!

honey bunny in wonderland: gravity no escaping gravity no escaping… not for free
yeah yeah stripes and high rise trousers are so good to me right now. and i love the beautiful rusty brown colors of the pants with the gray socks. i need those pants like now.

*aha, but before you leave, i had to give you a bonus round of photos! i was so impressed by these two awesome d.i.y. miu miu collars by spin dizzy fall and field guided that i had to share them with you. be sure to click their links for detailed how-to instructions. miu miu for the masses!

urban weeds: tessa on se 29
i just discovered this cool street style blog based out of portland, oregon after diane posted it on her tumblr. gotta love a cute girl with impeccable style and a nice bike.team peter stigter: in the navy
this is susan cernek of glamour magazine. i actually had the pleasure of meeting her way back last year during the weardrobe conference, so i always like seeing her pop up on street style sites. i love her classic stripes with khaki pants and the perfect navy coat.

trendycrew: stripes & dots, paris
with the arrival of spring, i can’t seem to get enough stripes. and i just love the pairing of stripes and polka dots with warm and cozy stockings!

the sartorialist: ada, paris
this is pretty much perfection. doesn’t she look like she walked right off the set of a photo shoot? so perfectly cool and casual.

facehunter: london – soho
always and forever obsessed with capes and capelets. this is such an easy, wearable ensemble with skinny jeans and the perfect flat boots.

facehunter: london – rebecca, broadway market
i’m a sucker for brown and blue lately. this is a simple outfit, but she adds a perfect amount of quirkiness with the white socks and classic flats.
