Dani’s music concert ready look is getting me pumped for Electric Forest Festival this weekend! EFF is set on the Double JJ Ranch just like its predecessor Rothbury. The big change was a shift towards electronica and jamtronica and the primary festival grounds will now be Sherwood Forest. I am most excited about Sunday night, which features Pretty Lights from 11pm to 12:30 am and EOTO until 1:15 a.m. This year promises to be much more laid back and with much less pressure than in years past, as my festival partner this year is my best friend from college. I’m looking forward to relaxing and taking it easy with one of my favorite people on the planet. I need a vacation!!!
BUT – being the workaholic that I am, I will still technically be working. I am traveling to EFF to document the fashion of the festival goers. I am very much looking forward to a break from urban street-style hunting and am excited to document the kaleidoscopic looks the festies and female wooks bring to these rural environments. As a member of the press, I have access to power and wi-fi, so expect updates through out the weekend!
I instantly recognized Becky’s dress as being from AllSaints Spitalfields since I just purchased the same style in black on the day the store opened. I love the whole AllSaints aesthetic and am looking forward to photographing more of their pieces on the streets. Becky completes her steampunk look with a timepiece belt and canvas sandals.
In the latest installment of “things Amy loves best about being a street-style photographer,” this post of Dale Jeffries takes the cake. I first heard of Dale when he started following me on Twitter, because he always had such nice to things to say about my blog. I had no idea what he looked like since his Tumblr doesn’t contain photos of himself. So when I was stalking the stylish outside of Barneys (like every day of my life) I saw this impeccably dressed young man walking out with a friend. I snapped into action and gave the whole “can I take your photo” spiel.
Imagine my surprise when Dale exclaimed “Oh my god you’re Amy from ChicagoStreetStyle.com, I am obsessed with your blog! We follow each other on Twitter, I’m Dale!” Everything clicked, because I knew that Dale has an obsession of all things Rick Owens, and he was wearing a Rick Owens DRKSHDW leather bomber jacket. Chicago needs more men like Dale, who appreciate the importance of fine design in fashion (and the magic of Rick Owens).
Follow Dale on Twitter, @Le_Smoking, read his blog Pheasants & Vultures, and tumble on his Tumblr Le Smoking.
