Film by 3.1 Phillip Lim
All this unseasonably warm weather makes me want to break my classic Schwinn bicycle out of winter storage for a ride down the Lake Shore Drive bike path along Lake Michigan’s beach… Have any of you taken your bikes for a spin during this strangely warm weather?
I thought this romantic film featuring women zooming around San Francisco donning 3.1 Phillip Lim clothing. How incredible is that shift dress with the spiky sleeves? Or the sumptuous green on that windbreaker coat. I’ve been wearing designer Phillip Lim’s pieces for years when I first discovered him in college through what else, fashion blogs! They’re well designed, at an accessible price-point for luxury clothing, and skew young. Not hard to see why he’s so popular with famous bloggers like Rumi Neely and Elin Kling, women who regularly wear his pieces.
Sometimes when I’m out walking around street-style hunting I’ll see a photo opportunity that is perfect as a candid. This woman was so strikingly beautiful that I couldn’t resist photographing her as she waited to cross the street. Yet, like a bird watcher, I didn’t want to disturb her and ruin the image. If you know this woman please send her a link to this photo. I’m sure she’d love to see it.
Yenni looked to me like a fun, vivacious person to photograph and boy was I right. Often times, it’s like pulling teeth to get my subjects to smile. Rarely, I’ll run into someone like Yenni whose beautiful smile is literally magnetic. Plus with ombre hair and a chic all black ensemble, it was an easy choice to photograph her for my log.
