Style Sightings!

So your favorite fashionista has slacked up a bit, I was in New York City for a fitting! Coolness! I've neglected to post the Style Sightings from last week!What did you do without my style sightings? Twiddle your thumbs? Yep. Lol !: )

Until soon, a very exhausted,

<3 SF

Most def mad for plaid! 

Could she get any cooler? Very much a complete outfit. Her plaid bag pulls the entire look together. Accessories are key, check out those aviators! : ) 

Electric blue seems to be a favorite! This look was accompanied with patent-leather stilettos to complement the jewel cut buttons. To top it all off, a bow headband finised the look! 

Where has this girl been hiding????  

This is the best outfit I've seen in my time as SF here in Virginia!!!! Excellent! Excellent!

BLING! Over-sized purses and sequins are my weak spot! : P 

Style Sightings!

Oh hey! It's almost Spring Break and we're still wearing coats! What's with that? As the general population here dwindles, I have to post the style sightings for the past week. Unfortunately I don't remember when it was exactly that I saw each of the outfits and my camera decided to become unavailable for the large portion of Thursday and Friday! Goodness!

What I do have here, please enjoy! Even though Spring Break is here, that doesn't mean that style takes a break! I'll just have more time to catch up on everything!

Until later, much love,

<3 SF

Carefully balancing brights! Again, the knee socks and boots! I like! 

 

Kewt! Her boots transition well from the snow outside into a snug look inside! And her belt is Awesome! 

 

Love, love LOVE her headband! : ) 

 

Military-esque look! 

Details, details! Love how it's coordinated! : ) 

Like, like! Chillaxin! 

Neon niceness! Like, but check out the backpack! : ) 

Neato!

Apparently it's her roomate's coat. She hooked it up well. True story: I saw her later that day in the snow in a white hat that totally hooked up the outfit!

Cute, cute! Love her coat!

Out on an ABP run! Tres chic! 

Liking her coat! Too much! 

Corduroy makes a comeback! And touts a hat as well!

Cute headband! It's from the childrens' department! Sometimes If you find that headbands quite aren't your thing, your head may be overpowered by the headband itself! I myself have faced the same problem!

Boots and bag! Love, love, love! 

Simplicity is key! Love her headband! : ) 

Maybe I'm partial to pink? Liking the accent piece! 

"How can I unlock the secret to coolness?' I really want to ask her! Bag ad boots are really working! AND the shades!

What we're going for is a complete look. I think She's got it! 

We're mad for plaid too!

Most def a preview of spring! Enjoying her gold flats! : ) 

 

 Chillaxin! She gave thought to it though! Much appreciated! : )

 

 Stripes are most def working! Coolness!

Style Sightings! Weekend Edition!

Ok, so the local "Winterfest" dominated the student center this Saturday and guess who was there at the ready, poised with a camera? Why yes! ME! I was fortunate enough to see the reigning Homecoming Queen!

 

A true pageant girl at heart, I asked the balloon artist (forgive me if I misrepresent his title) to fashion a tiara. Our Homecoming Queen was a good sport about wearing it for the picture! Too cute! Not to mention her outfit is pretty stylin' too!

Along the way, I was fortunate enough to catch a few well dressed individuals!

 

Dress to pin, given a whole new spin!

  

And more follow suit! How lovely! 

  

Poppin' pink! Accent pieces are always a winner! 

 

Please don't mind the sweatshirt guy. The young woman to his left is rocking the combat boots! You go!

 

Pictured young man: "Take my picture" 

 Me: "But I only feature women's fashions." 

"Well, you can take my picture anyway!" Just for his moxie, I'm posting his picture! : ) 

 

Chillaxin! Scarf is most def a yes! : )

 Mmm, this hat intrigues me! She looks toasty! 

I know anticipation is killing you, but the Bridal Show article will have to wait!

Until soon, much love,

 <3 SF

Style Sightings!

So, either the well dressed individuals are becoming easier to find, or they're finding me! Love it! Thanks for making my job easier ladies! This weekend we have a bridal show and Monday is the first model fitting, so that should make for brilliant blog material! : )

I'd also like to thank my style subjects for being so compliant. It's not everyday you get someone asking you to take your picture! Thanks girls! : )

Signing off for the weekend! Until Monday:

Much love,

<3 SF

Monday:

  

Love, love LOVE her tights. May I have them? Thanks. 

 

Playing games with your handbag! Straight from Japan! Oh those Harajuku girls!

Ohh!! Love it! 

*Style note: Her entire outfit can be traced to the same color palliate! It just works! Notice everything has a khaki rhythm to it.  Excellent! : )

Where has this girl been hiding? Cuteness! Quite a few designers are embellishing the front of their shoes (all styles) with fur of some sort. Be sure to check an upcoming Double Take feature on these shoes! : ) 

  

Check this out!!!! It's a fantastic purse, AND a fantastic outfit! LOVE IT! 

Tuesday: 

An electric blue purse. I've seen it all! : ) 

  

Totes m'gotes! Most def a must have for toting things about! P.S. Watch out for this yellow, it's popping up everywhere for spring! : )

Chillin'! 

You can't see it well, but she has a lovely necklace. And the plaid skirt is quite a lovely touch! : )

Style, WHERE ARE YOU?

As promised, SF is on the lookout for stylish College students. Poised with a camera everywhere I go, I've only managed to find one student worthy of posting to my blog! (So far!)

ABP in Squires is the place to see and be seen. And of course, that's where I grab my daily fare. This young woman, as I stalked her she was very compliant with my request. As well put-together as her ensemble is, I do have a few critiques for her. 

In the year of fashion where "everything goes" her style nods to the recurring trends of the past decade. Pastels/ brights/metalics are certainly on target and her coat borders on a mustard-esque trend recently seen on this winter's catwalk. The cut nods to the current military trend. However, her sleeves are a bit too long for my liking, or it could be the oxford?

The oxford, which is white and pink striped, and possibly Polo Ralph Lauren, complements the mustard coat which stands alone but brings energy to the plain oxford look. 

Visually the contrast is not as jarring because the white shoes to a magnificent job of  standing alone themselves. If I were any further north, the fact that her shoes are white (after labor day) would be  just cause for her to not even make it to my blog. However, her daring and well executed style choice are to be applauded. 

The color of her chocolate khakis, in the brown family, are certainly an indication of last fall's trends. 

She could have done well with a metallic silver purse or something in the family of pink that borders in between neon and rose-petal pink. Fuchsia would be too aggressive though. 

We'll see what this week holds! 

Until the next posting, much love,

<3SF
