calivintage: lucky magazine

today i am so happy to be sharing some exciting news: i’m a member of the new lucky magazine style collective! you may remember a couple of weeks ago, i tweeted about the news and linked to this new york times article, which outlines what we expect to be doing in the coming months. and just this past week, the september issue came out and i was lucky enough to be asked to contribute a little piece for their “from the blogs” section in the print magazine! i styled up this outfit as a preview of how i hope to be dressing this fall: in pale pastels and 1960s-inspired shapes. mostly influenced by the fall 2011 collections from philosophy, prada, and peter jensen.

anyway, i’m as happy as a clam right now and so pleased to be able to share this exciting news with you! so next time you’re waiting in line at the grocery store, pick up the september issue of lucky to catch a glimpse of me!

calivintage: it's raining it's pouring

as i mentioned in my last post, the weather here in northern california has been so rainy the past few weeks! this weekend, the forecast called for another 3 inches, so i was delighted when the sun came out for a few hours to grace us with its presence. i took the opportunity to throw on my new family affairs mini dress with my little sailor trench for some sunday afternoon shopping with the boy. we splashed in puddles and had a grand time taking silly rainy day photos on the roof top between the random showers.

then we settled back in to watch the season finale of big love, eating cheeseburgers and drinking champagne. the perfect way to finish off a lazy weekend, don’t you think?

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!
