The person I was most excited to meet during my recent trip to Los Angeles to the Gap design studio was EvaLotta of the LA street-style blog, Hi Styley. I’ve been reading Hi Styley for a few years now. We first started tweeting at each other after both collaborating with JBrand for the JWorld launch. It was actually through Twitter that we realized that the both of us had been invited to stay at the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood for the Gap collaboration.
EvaLotta and I spent all evening dishing about street-style, the rise of bloggers as a formidable force in the fashion industry, and what a great honor it was to attend Vogue’s presentation at the Gap. EvaLotta is the proud mother of two children, who are now pros themselves at spotting fashionable people. She told me that now that her kids are older, they point at stylish people and yell “Hi Styley!” How cute is that!! If I ever have or adopt kids, it will be my proudest moment as a parent when my progeny begins to help me street-style hunt.

Meredith and her friend Jane (photo below) looked just as fashionable at Lollapalooza 2011 as they would have in 1991 back when the festival traveled around the country. Although the look is 90s fashion at its greatest, the lace dress and ombre hair is super on-trend for 2011.
The daisy flower print on her frock, and even the cut of the dress, is so delightfully 90s. The nose-to-ear chain, silver jewelry, and straw hat complete the retro ensemble.
I wonder if Jane and her friends dress like this all the time or if they dressed in their finest threads from the 1990s to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic Lollapalooza music festival?
