oh, marc(s)

Marc Johns, an amazing artist with doodles as great as his imagination.

And Mr. Marc Jacobs. There's something about the way this collection is put together that makes me want to dress solely in utilitarian clothes, with lots of outerwear and hats and gorgeous boots.

a gem among jewels

I love this collection. There's something about it that's so young and vibrant but at the same time put-together and sophisticated. The mixture of patterns and proportions are way cool in a generation of not-so-cool casual styling. I also really love the bright bags; they're such a change from my normally dark bags.

i wish it were colder already

What I like about this look by Twenty8Twelve is that it looks like summer mixed with fall. Take away the leggings, and sweater, and add sandals and sunnies, and you have an outfit perfectly fine outfit for a summer day. But I love it just the way it is.

Another outfit from Twenty8Twelve that I love (and which I bet looks even better in person) is this jean vest striped dress combo. It's awesome that both of these have slightly sheer leggings.

It's outfits like this that make me wish it were fall already. Oh, Proenza Schouler, you guys are way too cool.

And beautiful coats like this from Organic by John Patrick that double as a dress could be toughened up a bit with some dark boots.

I normally don't like fur, but this outfit by Band of Outsiders is just amazing.

I love pairing a big tee-shirt dress with a big comfy jacket. All I need now is a fur hat complete with horns.

I love how airy both of these dress, boot, and jacket combos by Erin Fetherston are.

These would be perfect for the days when it's just starting to get a chill in the air, but it's not totally fall yet. So pretty much San Francisco year-round.
