Editorial: Never Mind

There is not much to say, except that Emmanuelle Alt and her team at French Vogue have done it again.  Shot by Mario Sorrenti, models Natasha Poly and Sasha Pivovrova depict how a surfer chic wants to dress in the fall and it is pretty much how I want to look right now.  It is as if a Malibu surfer got stranded in Biarritz.   My sort of ideal life.  Enjoy the editorial porn below.

Cette Fille est Chic! Kate Bosworth

I have to be honest and say, besides that surf movie, I cannot think of any movie Kate Bosworth has been in.  That being said, she is on my radar because she has great style and often showcases this style at music festivals.  I love music, and I REALLY love music at outdoor venues.  Kate appreciates that and is a combination of chic, but slightly off-beat style.  She looks effortlessly cool, still classy, and never trashy (or showing all that assy).   Her look is often attributable to pieces by my favorite designer Isabel Marant, and helped along by Vanessa Bruno (oh the French get it right).  She never looks like she is trying too hard and yet often takes chances with her looks.  This editorial for Style Caster shot by David Mushegain and styled by Cher Coulter, Bosworth's close friend, is what I call brilliant.  It pushes the boundaries without being Lady Gaga over-the-top-rolling-my-eyes-too-much-fashion.

Inspiration: Shalako

I have liked anything Native American for a long time.  Back in the day (high school), my bff and I would troll into the local craft store and pick out the metal feathers to make necklaces and earrings with. We soon moved on to horns and I remember when his step-dad was weirded out (but obliged) when we asked him to drill a hole through a horn we found so that we could put a string through it and wear it as a necklace.  We would drive to Wisconsin Dells and buy up beaded bracelets and anything with feathers attached to them while most people our age purchased tourist t-shirts about beer.  Native American is a trend that doesn't ever go away, but simply gets reinvented.  It seems that Isabel Marant, one of my favorite designers for her consistency in putting out what every 'cool girl' would want to effortlessly wear, has moved on from the California Surfer Girl to the Vamp Navajo for fall, much the same as we see icon Brigitte Bardot  in the classic movie "Shalako".  Add all those looks to things I want for fall (or at least things I will try to recreate)
