lauren moffatt fall 2011

you may remember back in february, i posted about the opportunity i had to visit the lauren moffatt studios to preview her fall collection! at the time, i could only share this sneak peek with photos from the studio, but now that it’s august and it’s officially “back to school” time, i thought i would share my favorite looks from the collection in all their glory. (many of which, might i add, are already available to purchase online!)

the fun part about this collection is that it’s inspired by laura ingalls wilder. and if you’re anything like me, then you probably read little house from cover to cover and watched the reruns of the television series on tv. so this updated take on the ’70s hit is definitely right up my alley. i’ll take one of each, please!

a visit with family affairs

14 Comments

as you can see, i kept pretty busy during fashion week with all of the regularly scheduled tumblr events, but i also managed to squeeze in a number of other visits with what little free time i had left. during one such break between shows, rebecca and i crossed the bridge over to brooklyn for a studio visit with the lovely nina of family affairs. this was our second visit with her, and it was a lovely break from the fashion week madness to sit down with coffee, treats, and berries to talk about fashion and preview her upcoming fall collection! i can’t show you much since it’s not quite ready for release, but i’m particularly excited about this collection and can’t wait to share more with you.

but in the meantime, i can show just a teeny tiny little sneak peak at one of the looks, as seen above on the cover of her look book, and seen below as modeled by rebecca. i tried on the same dress in another print, and i am absolutely in love with it’s versatility! can’t wait to share more, but in the meantime, be sure to check out the family affairs site!

a lauren moffatt sneak peek!

13 Comments

oh i just can’t help but be a bit of a tease about my recent visit to the lauren moffatt studio! rebecca of the clothes horse was kind enough to let me tag along and get a sneak peek of the upcoming fall collection while we were visiting new york for fashion week. all i can say is that i am beyond excited about the new pieces, and already have several items on my wishlist for the fall! below you can see two sneaky little shots of the pieces, gingerly hanging on the racks, just waiting to be previewed! i love the unexpected color combinations and slight 1970’s inspiration of the collection, described as “laura ingalls wilder on crack,” by lauren herself. right up my alley, haha!

but since i’ll have to wait for the fall to get my hands on these pieces, i’m keeping myself busy checking out the spring collection up for sale on the lauren moffatt site right now!

it was a group effort. half of the photos are mine, but images 2, 4, 6, and 9 were shot by rebecca.

jill stuart fall 2011

after writing that last outfit post about my new fox shirt from opening ceremony, i happened upon the images from the jill stuart fall 2011 collection and nearly had a heart attack. i wasn’t invited to this particular show, but let me just say that if i had been in attendance and seen these pieces in real life, i probably would have fainted at the sight of this collection. maybe that’s just the cold medicine talking, but i seriously can’t get over this beautiful, nature-inspired collection. it’s got me saving up my pennies to for a serious fashion investment.
