Style Inspiration: Bethany of Snakes Nest

I came across Bethany's style blog; Snakes Nest, a couple months ago and immediately fell in love with her laid back, California chic style. I'm always in awe of women who can look so effortlessly amazing. Added bonus, she has the most precious daughter who makes a cameo periodically on the blog.

Style Inspiration: Mija

With fashion week currently happening, I feel like all my social media streams are inundated with all things fashion and style. Which reminded me of one of my favorite street style muses. Mija of Creators of Desire has a sporty, casual style that I just wish I could pull off. See some of my favorite looks below.

See by Chloe Pre-Fall 2013

Putting aside the fact that it always feels a little weird to be looking at Fall and pre-fall fashion in January... I'm absolutely loving the See by Chloe pre-fall looks. The use of rusty reds, indigo and blush pink with multiple prints mixed in is perfection. It almost makes me want to skip summer and plunge into Fall... almost :)

Leah Reena Goren

I love, love, LOVE the work of Brooklyn based illustrator and textile designer Leah Goren. She's been selling her sweet and whimsical patterned items on etsy for a few years now and I consistently lust after each piece. So when I saw her new lookbook shot by Kate Edwards I of course fell in love all over again.

Fall Fashion Inspiration

Fall has always been my favorite season for many reasons, but one of the best things about it is definitely the fashion. The warm coats, oversized sweaters, deep hues and chunky scarves, I love it all. Lucky for me in San Francisco we kind've get to dress like this all year round :) But for those of you who are just delving into your cold-weather wardrobe I thought I would post my favorite Fall outfits for inspiration.

Free People's Harvest Moon Lookbook

Dutch model Cato Van Ee looking stunning in Free People's latest lookbook. Shot by Anna Palma, she captured the bohemian earth goddess look perfectly. Kind've makes me want to go stomp around in the woods in the middle of the night, but I doubt I would look as fierce as Cato.

Guest Post: Natalie's Autumn Outfit Picks

Hey guys! I’m Natalie from Like Fresh Laundry and I’ll be filling in for Maia today while she gets ready to get hitched.

Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons, not just for the flavors (pumpkin! caramel! the best!), but also for the textures. And while it’s great getting bundled up in sweaters and nubby knits during the day, I’m a huge fan of fall’s lace, leather and jacquard for night. Here are some of my favorite pieces for an autumn night out. They’d easily transition into the winter, too. Hey, those holiday formal events are right around the corner!

1. Wool jacket - $90
2. Lace peplum top - $67
3. Trigone snakeskin wallet - $295
4. Jacquard-print slip dress - $210
5. Jacquard cigarette pants - $90
6. Penny teaser boots - $172

Tommy Ton at NYFW

As I'm sure many of you are aware of, New York Fashion Week has been happening this past week. And while I like to see what's coming down the runway, I almost look forward more to what the street photographers are catching. Here are a few of my favorites from Tommy Ton over at style.com. So colorful and quirky!

Style Inspiration: Ahn of 9 to 5 Chic

I previously posted about the amazing style of Ahn at 9 to 5 Chic a little over a year ago. But since she continues to inspire me with her classically chic, tailored looks for working women. Not to mention she happens to be one of the sweetest San Francisco bloggers I've had the pleasure of meeting since living here. I just had to share again with a few of my recent favorites.

Rue Launch

I'm so excited for the Launch of Rue's August issue today! It was a lot of hard work but I think it turned out really well and I can't wait for you all to see it and read it. Below are just a few of my favorite images from this issue, but I could have posted a gazillion more. So go check it out :)

J.Crew Collection

The J.Crew Collection pretty much epitomizes what I want to look like every day, but let's be honest I'm usually wearing ratty jeans and a tee shirt, c'est la vie.
