OUTFIT FOR SATURDAY

In light of my posting on gypset style, here is a little peek into my outfit Saturday.  It was so airy and comfortable to wear that I decided that I'll definitely be wearing my growing caftan collection all summer long.  I'm not sure how many will make it to ebay this year.  

The thing I love most about caftans is in addition to being super comfy, they are also one size fits all.  No size drama/trauma needed.

I'm wearing a vintage tie-dye caftan dress and Afghan pendant I strung on a braided choker.  The long leather pouch is hand made by Irene.

LOVE THESE MEN

I was look through the The Sartorialist postings over the last 6-8 months and was blown away by some of the men's style.  I do find a man with a kept beard awfully sexy.  I think Stefano Pilati of YSL is one of the world's most handsome, put together men.  Love his designs, too!  Wondering if you agree on the bearded look.

I usually couldn't care a bit about men's style photos, but Scott Schuman has made me take a second look.  I find these photos and fashion incredibly exciting.  Pick up his book, The Sartorialist, if you have a chance.  It is a great street style inspiration book.

GYPSET STYLE

I've been looking over the Fall 2010 shows on Style.com.  I've been feeling the tribal/hippie/gypsy thing so strongly that I've even ordered a fab book, Gypset Style by Julia Chaplin (Assouline), from Amazon.  Who am I kidding, I've been pretty hippie since I moved to LA eleven years ago!

Here are some past and present inspirations, mostly from Etro, Prada and Fendi. Check out the truly Marrakesh, Acapulco, Ibiza rich hippie vibe and some other books for inspiration: Poolside with Slim Aarons, Slim Aarons: Once Upon a Time, Riviera Style, Riviera Style: From St. Tropez to Capri, Marrakesh Style: The Magic of Living in Morocco, Ibiza Style
