its time to fall for fashions

Since I have been working hard looking for places to live everyday for a while now I thought I would give myself a break and enjoy looking for cute fall clothes on the internet instead. Its fun but its true that I have great stuff already—I just like to look.


madewell

This classic sweater and collared plaid shirt combo is from Madewell. I do like their clothes a whole lot and have bought a few things in the past that I continually wear.

Always checking out boots no matter what the season. I like these simple black boots from Modcloth. I have never really understood the lace and zipper combo but I guess I am letting that slide here. This pair looks comfortable for all the walking I do.

I recently bought a pair of pants from a store that I had credit. I would have never even tried them on otherwise but I did and have worn them for three days straight. The company is Big Star 1974 and I got them at Convert in Berkeley. The pair that I have are a straight leg in a black rinse. They are so very comfortable! I have already thought about buying another pair so I could wear them everyday.

Also for reference I check out my scrapbook of clothing & style preferences collected on Pinterest. I really like this collection because it reminds me that I have nice taste and do not always try to dress like this guy—which I LOVE but its a bit frumpy for me. I really want to look like this.

adventure cape

This cape from Such Great Heights is so wonderful. I think that it would suit Emma Clover.  Today on our walk she enjoyed crunching over the branch and leaf covered ground and finding sticks. It was lovely to hide under the shade of the trees.

Also found this illustration on Pinterest today. Its called “There is No Wolf” by Volkan Dalyan. I love imagining Emma walking around in big headphones like this some day. She likes to try on maiki’s and its adorable.

everything linen

more & co tunic

Linen is perfect to me. I try to be more of a minimalist and then I see some well designed piece made in this fabric and I freak out and want everything.

Linen towels by Fog Linen Work found at the More & Co. shop, and amazing linen tunics, this shirt from J Crew. And I do believe that linen sheets must also be luxurious.

I have this linen tank top that I got at the thrift shop for like three dollars and I wore it all through my pregnancy. I wear it once a week even now and love it more and more every time. It wears so well. I wish that I had more of them in different colors!

magnolia photo booth and a clothing obsession

renegade 2013

Here are the cutie pictures that Diana and I took in the Magnolia Photo Booth at the Renegade Craft Fair on saturday. The fair was so fun but we arrived at Fort Mason right when Emma needed to nap. We got coffee at the Four Barrel tent and took our snacks over by the water to eat. maiki decided to take Emma for a walk so Diana and I could explore the fair. I loved it but some how missed the Another Feather booth (just to gaze). Also I decided that next time I would like to invest in an article of clothing. There were so many cute pieces!

A new and very large thrift store is opening near my house and I am a real sucker for thrift shops (cue Macklemore song here). I find nice things but also bring back pieces after I tried them out a few times. It helps me to hone in on my style. I like the premise of sharing and providing work through recycled clothing. Despite my love of textile and clothing I loathe the fashion industry overall so I wear and buy for Emma and I primarily used clothes (and sometimes shoes too).

Dosa has the lovliest clothing. I followed a link and then had to look at every collection. Definitely full of inspiration.
