sessun, steven alan, zinke...
well, i tend to be more of a 'go to the thrift store and sneeze my way through the jumbled racks of dusty clothes until i find something magical for only $2' kind of girl... but that doesn't mean i can't drool over the inspiring designs from the likes of sessun, steven alan, and zinke, right?!
speaking of, i finally gave in to the endless void of eyecandy that is pinterest... 200 pins already?? what has happened to me...
spot on... timeless, vintage-inspired, simplicity, with just the right pop of rich color... dresses to slip on in the heat of summer. a few pretty accessories. done.
another vintage-inspired collection. adorably sweet. pretty and feminine. casual with personality. ready for a bicycle ride, with a picnic in the basket
and zinke always does lingerie and swimwear right... the perfect starting point to make you feel confident and strong. romantic and self assured. ready to layer with lightweight summer ware. pieces that deserve to peak through
happy wednesday

feminine and self assured...
 |
| colenimo - ss / 11 |
i never tire of these simply light, airy, romantic, and classic styles... this is why they fall under the category of timeless, i suppose. pieces which make you feel both sexy and laid back. feminine and self-assured. ready to romp through any forest... wade barefoot through the streams... curl up in the branches of a favorite tree...
tousled hair pulled back, with a sunhat for the afternoon... a light tinted moisturizer for the lips. done.
oh, how i'm longing for spring!
*****
some of the beautiful looks of colenimo, always inspired by moments in the past... including last summer's late-1920's inspired line, and this season's "paper moon" inspired look of the 1930's...

or the delicate looks of chloé, by creative director clare waight keller - "i looked at festival girls, girls on the street, and david bailey's photos of marie helvin and angelica huston on a beach," says keller. "there's a sense of feminine complicity, sensitivity, and sunniness in this collection."...

and i can't get enough of this tunic, from toujours toi and family affairs - ".. wear the scotland tunic over wool, navy stockings and wellies to take a walk across scotland's misty moors, wishing on a star beneath an endless night..."...

and who does this style better than steven alan? - "casual, smart, self-assured essentials"

and, finally, my favorite 'go-to' item... the long, skim-the-floor, flowing skirt. done perfectly here by cabbages & roses...
