orla kiely spring 2013 campaign

February 26, 2013 8 Comments

since we’re on the topic of orla kiely, i thought i’d rewind a bit and share the spring 2013 campaign. especially since we’re quickly approaching the season in which it would be appropriate to wear these lovely pieces. the photos were shot in palm springs, a place that is always dear to my heart since i grew up not far from there. the whole place is filled with memories of day trips exploring the mountains or rummaging through vintage and antique shops with my mom. isn’t there something so dreamy about that mid-century wonderland out in the middle of nowhere? the perfect place to photograph such pretty clothes!

as i write this post, i’m aboard a plane headed to new york for fashion week. i’ll be checking out the fall 2013 collections, but that doesn’t stop me from dreaming about spring! and of course, a.p.c. is always high on my list! plenty of effortlessly chic preppy basics with just a touch of retro flare. exactly the type of wardrobe staples that keep me coming back season after season.

vivetta spring 2013

January 23, 2013 17 Comments

i’ve long been a fan of vivetta’s whimsical collections. this past season, i finally found myself tempted enough to pick up one of her beautiful hand collar blouses, and now i can say i’m officially hooked! and when i saw the same theme sprinkled throughout the spring 2013 collection, along with tons of other charming details, i knew that i would have to invest in even more of her playful pieces. even on such a gloomy day like today, a quick browse through her designs sweeps me in up into a dreamy fantasy land filled pretty pastels and fluffy kittens.

paule ka spring 2013

January 17, 2013 11 Comments

a couple of weeks back, i shared the paule ka resort collection, but i’m equally in love with their spring 2013 collection. the clean palette gives way to interesting silhouettes and quirky details like oversized gloves and ostrich feather trims, all with a decidedly ’60s aesthetic. i would love to be able to wrangle my hair in one of those big bouffants with pretty ribbons, and certainly wouldn’t mind a pair of clear lucite heels or a metallic handled basket bag. it’s a perfect mix of playful and elegant that i certainly wouldn’t mind adding to my own wardrobe!

karen walker spring 2013

January 15, 2013 15 Comments

one spring collection that’s got me swooning is karen walker spring 2013. i’ve long been a fan of her statement sunglasses, but i’m just as enamored with her quirky cute collections. titled “fantastique magnifique,” this collection was filled with retro-futuristic space prints, cool color combinations, and interesting proportions. i love the subtle wink and nod to the past while still keeping things feeling fresh and new. and i can’t wait to get my hands one one of those silly straw hats, which i’ve already pre-ordered for an upcoming trip to a tropical locale!

club monaco spring 2013 campaign

January 10, 2013 11 Comments

continuing on my spring inspiration kick, today i thought i’d share the club monaco spring 2013 campaign shot on the streets of new york by none other than venetia scott. i’m a huge fan of her work, so it’s not much of a surprise that i can’t get enough of this campaign. i know it seems a bit unexpected, but it’s definitely been interesting the way that club monaco has started to capture my attention over the past year or so. until then, i had never even stepped foot into one of their stores, but now i find myself stopping-in for a quick browse whenever i’m at the mall. and looking at the pieces in the collection, i think i might need to spring for that cute little trench!

paule ka resort 2013

January 3, 2013 12 Comments

i’ve been resisting the urge to post resort collections, but now that it’s january, i think we can officially start looking forward to spring break and summer vacation. paule ka first caught my attention last season with an eccentric fall collection filled with unexpected color combinations and inventive silhouettes. so of course, i had to check in on the latest resort collection, and i have to say i love it just as much! it particularly strikes a chord because i’ve been tying my hair into a little side pony with a ribbon for the past few weeks, and i just love these bright, bold bows. the colors are, once again, striking and interesting, and i love the ’60s vibe which will certainly continue to inspire me throughout the year.

my nyfw: peter som spring 2013

September 21, 2012 4 Comments

last night i was looking back through my nyfw photos and just discovered my photos from the peter som spring 2013 show. i was editing these photos on the flight home from new york when my battery died, and in my jet-lagged daze, i must have managed to save them in a sneaky spot on my computer. but it was such a lovely show, so i’m glad they turned up! the collection was a mashup of ladylike silhouettes with plenty of retro inspiration, taking cues from both the ’60s and the ’70s. what really caught my attention was a particular snakeskin patchwork and a host of cute, ’60s-inspired mini dresses with pretty details. i also loved the little mesh headbands neatly places atop tousled hair with little streaks of punchy colors.

my nyfw: tocca spring 2013 presentation

September 19, 2012 14 Comments

finally getting back into the swing of things, today i’d like to share the photos i snapped at the tocca spring 2013 presentation during nyfw. i’ve long been a fan of emma fletcher, since her days designer for lyell, so i’m glad that her brand has been revived at tocca. this season, she drew inspiration from kaleidoscopes and vintage hot-air balloons with mirrored displays reflecting whimsical illustrations laid out on the floors. there were plenty of bright, punchy colors mixed between black and neutral pieces with delicate lace insets for a fun and feminine touch.

on an aside, please don’t be too hard on the models! they all looked so stunning in real life, but the overhead lighting was really harsh and cast shadows and a green glow on their pretty faces! hopefully it doesn’t distract too much from a very lovely collection.
