EyeWore: Vintage'y Goodness

I am a frequent parooz'er of Etsy. In fact, scrolling through "vintage" fashion on Etsy is how I spend most evenings, in between flossing and REM sleep. You can imagine the dreams I have...

I am a self proclaimed "old soul," I am certain I've been on this earth before, the first time was on the Titanic, the following life was a short stint in the Halston, disco era. I reference my past lives because I believe they are the source of my vintage obsession. I truly adore clothes from style's yesteryear.

This dress I'm wearing is an Etsy find; it's got this bold, Aztec'y print with a loose shape that is perfect for any belt. 

My inspiration for this look was a mix of fashion editor meets Talitha Getty (bohemian Dutch goddess from the 60's). I LOVE the idea of wearing ensembles that are pulled together but completely easy in their
expression.

When your going to work, network or lunch, putting together outfits that are "funky" yet fashion forward always pays off. People perceive that you care about the details and always notice your style effort.

Here's a few tips to pull off a look that is interesting and easy to wear:

1. Incorporate a pattern (make it your main statement)

2. Pair bold colors with said pattern

3. For ease, keep your shoes and belt in the same color story

4. Use your go-to favorite piece as the staple of your look, this way you are already confident in the statement and being creative with your accessories is a less daunting task

5. If it feels good, it looks good! Period.

EyeWore: C'est la vie, End-of-Summer-Street Style

It knocked on my door today, you know, fall? It really did! It blew a slight breeze, sent me some clouds and RSVP'd to my closet for a few weeks from now.

It's official, summer weekends are coming to a clothes, I mean close. And just because your mood may suffer does not mean your style should!

Here is a look I put together that any pre-fall gal can pull off; a shirt dress + sandals + a head scarf. This look is simple, fun and bright and provides you with the appropriate cover for those chilly nights standing in line for the club, bar or Red Lobster.

Quick StyleEye tip: I believe all ensembles should have a touch of the unexpected! A bright scarf in your hair is not only functional but it adds brightness to that gorgeous face of yours! You can wear it a zillion different ways and when it gets Rumple Chillskins out, you can tie it around your kneck!

StreetStyleEye: Weekend Warrior, Zoe!

Happy Monday! What a beautiful weekend we had here in the Mile High. The weather started to cool a bit and we found our first Weekend Warrior victim subject wandering across our path in Boulder!

If I've said it once, I've said it a gagillion times, there is nothing that inspires me more than a unique sense of personal style. And Eyer's, Zoe has just that! From the adorable pixie hair cut, to those signature spectacles, she's like a modern day Daria only a zillion times more stylish and definitely less monotone.

When we cornered Zoe in a parking lot we demanded the deets on her Saturday style and I was delighted at the diversity of her ensemble sources:

- Sweater & Jeans are from her faithful employer Anthropologie

- Shoes are a thrift store find

- Victorian pendant necklace - ModCloth

Talk about an amazing example of fallin, Zoe is transitioning from summer to fall with a light knit, cropped jeans and covered tootsies. She's easy & smart in a sort of throw-back'y kind of way, L to the O to the V to the E.

Let's give this look some Eye snaps! (snap snap snap snap snap)!

Stay tuned for more WeekendWarriors!
