"What a Feeling" Just Lovin' that Streetstylin'

This top picture is a favorite!
We love the mix of denim boyfriends a classic blazer and color pops. 
From skinnys and boyfriends to the new flare some of our favorite street style blogs have captured the best or what we think is the best. 
 Loving the maxi and full skirts too! A pleated maxi is a favorite right now but also in silk or chiffon so the skirt flows. Absolutely fabulous with either flat boots, wedges or heels, it just doesn't matter.
White flowy blouses and ruffles with denim, yum!
Ending with this amazing photo below, that was captured by the blog Easy Fashion of beautiful, happy, smiling faces make the looks just perfect. 
Stop by, see and listen to the music you'll love it.

Our favorite street style blogs?
and of course

Hope you had a inspiring weekend!
We are excited to tell you that we will be shooting part of the lookbook for Loris Shoes this next month.
So with my work schedule and Camilla starting classes this week at a fabulous school where she is majoring in fine art, we will be just a little crazy.
Hope you all hang in there as our posts might not be as often.

Speed Queen

Hitting the Fluff N Fold seemed like the perfect place to shoot Camilla's new vintage dresses. There was actually a lot of people doing their laundry that afternoon so we had to work around them and strategically move the cart of clothes to block them from view. It was quite a challenge but what could we do it was the only time we had to shoot. We never even got to photograph the blue dress on, because the afternoon was getting away from us and even though Camilla did a quick change out at the car (surfer style) we got the last bit of light when we shot the pink one. 
Mixing big chunky platform shoes and anklets is a fave look right now and with the vintage length of the dresses it fit perfectly to the theme. 
Our vision, was a cross between Betty Draper and Sandra Dee with just a dash of Lolita in the mix. 
To end the post we added a little retro fun with Stockard Channing
singing  "Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee"
Grease 1978

Enjoy the weekend!

Sometimes a Picture Alone Says a Thousand Words

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."
-Roald Dahl
"If there's any message to my work, it is ultimately that it's OK to be different, that it's good to be different, that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different, behaves different, talks different, is a different color."

Vintage Dresses

I was given these beautiful vintage dresses from my friend Andrea. She has the best style and mixes vintage with new impeccably. The dresses are in mint condition and adorable on. I was so flattered she passed them on to me! We promised to use them in photo shoot as the only stipulation but we wanted to just give you a tiny preview because I am so excited. We are discussing ideas for the shoot and hope to get to it soon. So stay tuned.
