lost in translation.

i find it quite interesting that different scenes spark something in our creativity. where would our prevailing taste be without landscape, nature, and culture? i love how fashion refuses to be narrow minded. it blends in, yet stands out. it collides with every visual influence, and it is up to the wearer to choose the degree of such intrusion.

the wheat fields: nude hues and deep lips.

hiking ancient trails: safari hats, socks paired with lace ups, slouchy layers

everything has a rhythm, a theme. do you ever wonder what makes one person a care free naturalist and the other a formal perfectionist, or a combo of both? what's fascinating: it is impossible to conclude a formula to interpret this thought. possible explanation: maybe we are just simply captured by creation.

analyze the undertaking.

the act of pursuing is never ending and all-encompassing. it may seem that it can stop to take a breath, when in reality, it is in full motion, just with a different identity. pursuit looks like so many things: growth, healing, laziness, rest, beauty, fear. it has indefinite limits, unlimited synonyms.  it is quite a fascinating word, a loaded word. in fact, life would be at a stand still if pursuit was inactive.

so, stop for a moment. pursue a time to reflect, to soak in art, to realize beauty in things around you. enjoy your ventures rather than accidentally qualifying them as mere activity. sharpen dreams. the following stands true: the adventure dulls when purpose fades.

p.s. while you're at it, throw on a surplus jacket and some platform booties to make your undertaking extra cute.

catch the wave.

the ocean is one of the most welcoming places in the world. it gives sun, relaxation, and serenity. in its generosity, the beach can take the credit for the sun kissed look that has shaped the all american image. who knew nature had such contribution to classic fashion?

standing as one of the most popular vacation spots, this magical place has an unexplainable power to eliminate stress by bringing out the free spirit that every person obtains. so is it possible that incorporating hints of the beach life in your wardrobe would bring out the free spirit just as the beach itself does? find out for yourself...

summer is a season of exploration. in the embrace of this truth, professing your inner surfer dude can be quite feminine. whether its in your swim suit or your dressy ensembles, there is always room for splashes of this classic look. take note: a surf board will only add credibilty to this experiment. hang loose!

living in a daydream.

in all fantasy, it seems that life would be easier if it were black and white...or would it just be more predictable, comfortable, and lacking in inspiration? I have my opinions. as for now, I want to be wrapped up in plaid on an exotic beach with a pair of wellies...AKA rain boots.

keep it short.

Hemlines are being raised a few notches this season. Whether paired over tights, leggings, or a bare leg, this trend is something that should be embraced. It immediately adds height to your appearance, and if worn correctly, has great potential to reflect high street fashion.

Balance must be taken into consideration when sporting this trend.  The higher the hemline, the higher the neckline should come. Keeping proper proportion will restore elegance over promiscuity.

If this mode makes you hesitate, put a boyfriend blazer over a skirt that hits the same place on the leg to implement extra coverage. Mini dresses, skirts, and shorts are alive and well this season, how will you welcome them into your wardrobe?
