People like Jasmine are my primary source of inspiration – the kind of people who just don’t give a fuck and dress however they damn well please. This is the best part of street-style. I can’t tell you how happy I was to randomly spot a woman like this in the Gold Coast, out front of Barneys no less.
Military-inspired fashion is a look that will always be in style. Adina’s dress captures the best of army chic with her olive green flowing dress with cute military pocket detailing. The folded leather belt has gone from a quirky Michael Kors flourish to a full-on mainstream trend.
A few weeks ago my friend Megan Weinerman and I went to an Army Navy store on the North Side and found some amazing pieces for our wardrobes. I still haven’t had a chance to type up the story (sorry Megan!) but I promise lots of exciting clandestine cell phone pictures by the end of this week.
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.
