Sister Act

It was a weekend of style - family style - in Fort Greene last weekend! I found two sets of sisters while I was out and about on Saturday that impressed me with their cool vintage finds.

Mariet & Julia

Two Colorado natives - love the print mixing!

Leah & Sarah

Well coordinated with their Native American inspired weaves!

Rein 'Er In!

It's a bit of a capsule trend, but it's one of my favorites of the season: the equestrienne. It fits in perfectly with the tailored, menswear inspired theme of Fall, but with the added flair of riding gear and horse related imagery.

You don't have to actually be a dressage expert, but it sure looks good to dress like one!

Shooting On Location

It was an impromptu photo shoot yesterday at the Brooklyn Flea!

I was drawn to Marina's look right away - the straw hat and denim combo - it was an outfit Phoebe Philo would approve of. Sometimes it's the simplest elements that make for the most fabulous outfits!

Marina's boyfriend Sebastian turned out to be a photographer and gave me some tips to set up this shot. The ladder was a flea purchase. Thanks Sebastian!

Marina, Fashion Assistant

Hat from Nine West

Skirting the Issue

It's anything goes for skirts this fall; Long, short, and everything in between! There's been a special resurgence of the below the knee/mid calf length that should be noted, but it was by no means the only length to be seen. The short and full skirt is an important silhouette as well.

Here are my favorites!

Caroline, Q Train, Manhattan - Brooklyn Commute

Caroline, Graphic Designer

It's difficult to dress for this time of year; we're in transition. Every other day it's hot and cold, and you could get rained on at any moment...solution? A long classic trench - lightweight and long - provides coverage when you need it but isn't too hot.

I caught Caroline on the Q train going over the Manhattan bridge. She's got all her bases covered: the casual boyfriend shirt and the camel trench. Since the Fall runway shows camel is the only color on anyone's mind; Style.com is calling it the "new black."

The whole look is lightened up with these fun sandals from Zara. Love!

Blocked Out

Fabric blocking, color blocking, even fur blocking...this trend has been around for a few seasons already, but it's still proving its worth on the runway.

She Ain't No Wolf

My coworker Rebecca was a dear and posed for me in this dress I've been admiring for weeks. It's Lark and Wolff by Steven Alan for Urban Outfitters, and says "Wolf in Sheep's Clothes" on the front.

One of the things I've discovered since starting this blog is that everyone is wearing Urban all the time. It's a bit overwhelming...but you can't ignore the awesomeness of anything by Steven Alan.

Unfortunately the Lark & Wolff line was in UO a couple years ago so it's not in stores anymore, but it's all over Ebay! Click here to shop.
