Looks for the Fall: Menswear

A look that I really think I will be experimenting with this fall is more menswear inspired looks for women. I've been easing towards it throughout this summer but I think there are some really interesting looks for the fall season worth trying. Some interesting tailored trouser and button down shirts are going to take an interesting twist for women.

What menswear looks will inspire your fall wardrobe?

Christopher Kane : Resort 2012

Christopher Kane won my heart from his last resort collection in 2011 (how could we forget those galactic prints?). This season has not left me disappointed. I love the use of his innovative prints by the inspiration of the color spectrum. Once again, the print has played another important role in his collection this season. The vibrant colors are perfect for any topical vacation. The metallic textiles were a great touch and were mixed fabulously. The mini long sleeve dresses were some of my favorite pieces, as well as the mix of some lace. Love love love this collection!

Below are some of my favorite pieces!

And remember to keep sending us your inspiring photos!

Today we did a little shoot by a small lake near my house with my friend, Aria. I played around with some black and whites. I was originally going to do some brighter takes, but I actually like how the darker black and whites came out. I think I'm going to try and do some darker black and whites. Hope you all like these!

Yesterday the boy and I went down to by the reservoir to take a few pictures at sunset. The one where you see the rays coming through the clouds is definitely my favorite. And I guess the ones of Brian are alright.

I'm starting to have an easier time getting things in focus. A lot of the photos I capture that I really like are accidental. So hopefully I can actually figure out how to take some intentional photos.

Please comment and let me know what you think! Enjoy!
