Molly initially caught my eye because like Alberto, her shoes contain a hint of cyan blue. When I looked closer, I became intrigued with how much the fabric of her dress reminded me of the prints from Miu Miu’s S/S 2010 RTW collection. Bird prints were all the rage this summer, and Molly complements hers with a white leather belt.
Monica Derevjanik of Refinery29 wrote a great article about the prevalence of bird prints in designer collections this season. Pictured below is a photo from Karen Walker’s S/S 2010 collection:
The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, right? Well I am positively addicted to gorgeous women with tattoos. I’m not talking demure ink, hidden beneath layers of clothing – I mean large, bright pieces on arms, chests and legs. Tattoos that are meant to be noticed. And Aaron’s friend Jenna certainly meets the criteria, with her impressive old-school arm tats. The black pants, gray knotted tank and bright red bra (just begging to be noticed) allows her fantastic body art to capture the viewer’s attention.
Aaron is one of my favorite blog subjects. He has a very individual style – he knows what he likes and he wears it well. His plaid shirt, coordinated Keds, and tortoiseshell glasses creates an intellectual-street style look that only someone with an innate sense of style can pull off. I love it when people have a defining style, and if you visit his first photograph you can see for yourself how he creates his personal look.
Alberto is wearing sky blue sunglasses, cyan blue sneakers, cuffed jeans, and a plum jersey tee. His creatively draped violet sarong is a fresh and inspiring look, and the overall color coordination (purples and blues) reveals a brilliant sense of style. I was extremely impressed with how he used the colors of the sarong to tie together his plum shirt and blue shoes and sunglasses.
Cyan blue is fast becoming the go-to color for Chicago’s most stylish citizens, and one we expect to see more of in the coming months. Look for our upcoming trend report on cyan, the most stylish color of the moment!
