I caught Amanda’s beautiful laugh during a brief second before she regained her composure. I love when my subjects relax and let themselves out when I’m behind the lens. I work hard to make them comfortable. Mr. Newton taught me to make my subjects smile; it’s the best piece of advice I’ve ever received. If you look at his images his subjects are almost always smiling.
And on another note, I seriously love this colored denim trend that keeps gaining steam. Why stick to blue when there’s a whole rainbow? I’m fairly certain Amanda’s are the $176 Bright Red J Brands if you’re interested in building this look for yourself. I found perfect red jeans at a variety of price points for you to add to your fall wardrobe.
1. Current/Elliott, Stiletto Rodeo Red Jeans, $250
2. Guess, Red Hot Jeans, $99
3. J Brand, Bright Red Twill Skinny, $176
4. Alexander McQueen, Red Zipper Jeans, $465
5. ASOS x Red River, Red Skinny Jeans, $69
Earlier that morning, Mariel had visited her hair stylist to join the leagues of fashionable women shaving just one side of their heads. Mariel told me it was the biggest change she’d made to her hair in years. Lucky for her, it’s a great look and she rocks it well! Mariel also makes high-waisted trousers look incredibly chic, and wisely paired them with snakeskin patterned ballet flats. She is the perfect example of the “New Minimalism” championed by Phoebe Philo at Celine that is sweeping through fashion, all the way to the streets of Chicago.
Something about Richard made me feel like waiting to post him on a Sunday. His linen suit makes me a tad bit sad that summer is coming to a close, as linen clothing is one of my favorite things about summer style.
