It would be wonderful to be immersed in a place where fashion like these styles are the norm!

it’s a chiffon summer?!
One thing I’ve been DROOLING over lately is chiffon. How delicate, beautiful and summery!
Now, I’m no great fan of American Apparel, mostly because I think their campaigns stink, their message is sleazy, and their clothes are the same t-shirts and hoodies I can find on the sale rack at Target. However, I did get roped in to AA the other day after seeing the above long, chiffon skirt on a sidewalk mannequin, blowing in the breeze.
Well, I had to try the skirt on. I grabbed the color I thought most appealing on my pasty Midwestern skin, then realized I had no idea where to go from there. Question mark on forehead, I flagged down one of the hipster-y girls working there and asked her what on earth I was supposed to wear under the translucent garment. She went over to the hosiery and grabbed me —no kidding—a pair of white lace bloomers. Like grandma’s tablecloth stitched into granny panties. I shirked a little and went into the dressing room. The skirt was the most lovely see-through gown I’ve ever seen, but the bloomers beneath it peeked out and gave my rear end the volume of a lace diaper. Disastrous.
I happily went home without the chiffon skirt — or so I thought I was happy. Until Sartorialist posted a photo of this babe rocking her chiffon in Milan — and it all made so much sense to me, to never, ever listen to a hipster-y girl in rose colored Daisy Dukes and a denim blouse when she hands you a pair of doily bloomers.
Well-played, Milan Chiffon. You should have been working at American Apparel in San Francisco the day I tried on your skirt…

My gosh. Another sister from another mister! It’s the curly connection.
(PS: Sorry so many Sartorialist postings. I use him to make up for the lack of excitement in my life. Apologies, someday again I will have quirky things to say!)
yes, yes, yes, yes

This is amazing. Three cheers for this woman rocking monochrome shoes and bag, and layered buttons on her jacket pocket. How B.A. Yes, yes, yes.

Today I’m living vicariously through this Italian women, who has four things I’m digging:
a) Lennon-style frames (also similiar to this babe — I’m seeing a trend?)
2) a b-e-a-utiful messenger bag, probably hand-crafted by some 92-year old Italian leathersmith, every stitch a work of art
III) Rocking olive tights and green wedges…and even more rocking that she’s riding in them
FOUR) VESPA. Vespa. Vespa. Vespa. I love mopeds!
Somebody help me style my hair like these foxy women and I will be one happy lady!

I completely want to be this girl for a week — or at least a part of her world. How fantastic.

I think this woman is stunning — especially the hat and rouge lips. Can’t go wrong with classic.

I think this woman bears resemblance to my older sister, Kacy. Both have defined eyebrows (that I wish I had), brown eyes, pronounced smiles, and a short, brown ‘do. Not to mention they are both stylish! I enjoy this woman’s side fade, her frenzy of wristlets, and pocket square.
At some point in my life I’d like to have short hair like this—though it might be quite poodle-esque with my curls. I’ll give it some time.
