my nyfw: jill stuart spring 2012

jill stuart spring 2012

since fashion week has started, i’m sure you’ve seen some sneak peeks of what i’ve been up to on tumblr, twitter, and instagram. but today i’m excited to begin sharing some of the photos i’ve been taking at the shows. one of my favorites so far was the jill stuart spring 2012 show. after having been mildly obsessed with the fall and resort collections, i was a little concerned that i’d built up the spring show too much in my mind. but once i saw the first look walk down the runway (see: the nude and red palm tree dress with a pleated and scalloped hem) i knew i was in for a treat. i loved the sort of art deco floridian theme with the palm tree motif and excellent colors. the pink and green in particular reminded me of the colors you might see in my great aunt’s bathroom, and i mean that in the best way possible. but besides the show-stopping colors, i loved the quilted jackets, which reminded me of glamorous vintage sleepwear, and i even caught a glimpse of what looked like little retro faces on the print of a dress. and of course, the gold details on the shoes and the perfectly messy side swept hair completed the looks. another collection well-done that i will be turning to for inspiration for months to come!

all photos were taken by me.

steven alan fall 2011

steven alan fall 2011

back in february, when i saw the photos from the steven alan fall 2011 collection, i knew it was going to be a long wait. i want so much of this collection that i’ve been checking the website every couple of days in anticipation of the arrival of my favorite pieces! and even picking out my favorites was a bit of a challenge. i love the mix of blanket stripes, simple florals, and smock tops, and i enjoy the varying lengths and silhouettes. it’s just the type of collection that is perfect for fall in northern california.

many of the pieces are already available online, so get to it!

boutique by jaeger fall 2011

boutiqe by jaeger

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!

weekly roundup

favorites august 20

sometimes, when i’m going through all of my favorite photos, a very clear theme comes out. i guess i’ve just always been drawn to this mix of colors!

suvi photographed by hel looks making me want a canteen with a shoulder strap, street style by droptokyo, street style by hanneli, street style in seoul by face hunter, nellie photographed at the alameda flea market by fashionist, and lydia of style is style.

and as always, check the calivintage tumblr for all of my favorite outfit inspirations and bikes + babes for cute girls on bikes!

street style at outside lands, days two and three

calivintage: street style at outside lands

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!

calivintage + free people at outside lands, day one

outside lands 1

this weekend, the outside lands festival has taken over san francisco. i’m not a huge festival-goer, but when free people asked me if i’d like to go with them to shoot street style, i jumped at the opportunity. i love to shoot street style photos and it’s such a pleasure to observe the diverse array of styles that girls are wearing, whether on the street or at an event like this. on the first day, i definitely noticed the trends for this chilly summer festival: boots are a requirement, and if you’re smart, you’ll also opt for tights and a sweater or a pair of jeans!

these were some of my favorite looks, but i seriously took so many photos that i couldn’t share them all. you should definitely check out the free people blog for more of the photos that i took (including a shot of vanessa hudgens)! and expect more to come! there are still two days left of the festival!
