Speaking of Colemino

a

It must break some sort of blogger rule to post about a spring collection and a fall collection from the same designer on the same day. Oh well! Our taste of spring here lasted, oh... about 24 hours. Do I sound bitter? Now it's back to cold and rainy and this is as good a day as any to look at pretty fall outfits. I just couldn't help myself when I saw these lookbook shots from the Colemino A/W 2011 collection. Especially when they're inspired by the female pilots of the early 2oth century. Think Amelia Earhart!

Colenimo

The clothes from Colenimo's spring/summer 2011 collection seem perfectly suited for a modern day Daisy Buchanan. The collection was inspired by a single photograph taken by Edward Steichen in 1928. The black and white photo captures four lovely ladies as they gaze out over the sea. I think the collection perfectly captures the spirit of that photograph.

Spring at Last

a

- 40s lace dress
- vintage Aigner flats
- vintage woven market bag
- thrifted belt

This outfit consists of several of my favorite things in my closet right now; this lace dress, a market bag that it took me nearly two years to thrift and a new old pair of summer staple flats. Today it's supposed to be in the 80s outside! My time on the computer will be very limited today as Tom and I will be finding every excuse to spend as much time outdoors as possible. See ya tomorrow!

Freedom Two

1

You know you've been blogging for too long when you can't remember if you've blogged something before or not. I was pretty sure I'd posted about Lonely Hearts Little Bandits collection previously but I couldn't remember exactly. A little look back confirmed that I had indeed posted a few behind the scenes shots from their studio as well as a few looks from their lookbook. The collection was used in this collaboration between Lonely Hearts and photographer Sara Orme.** I really love the yellow floral pieces. They remind me of a 90s skirt I recently found at the thrift store for the shop that I think I'll be wearing at least once before selling it. These photos also confirmed that I need to be on the lookout for the perfect cream colored cropped sweater.

** Correction: The collection was actually an Always Sometimes Anytime initiated collaboration, that enlisted the Little Bandits Collection and commissioned Sara Orme to shoot it, as well as Kat Patrick to write pieces that attempt to define our contemporary notion of Freedom. (per Always Sometimes Anytime).
