Ace & Jig Fall 2012

Ace & Jig has stolen my heart these past few months. I'm always thinking about this label and how simple, consistent, and beautiful it is. The fall line is no different. The ladies behind Ace & Jig have a real knack for selecting perfect yarns and dyes for their collections, and they really know how to work a stripe too. I only recently read about the design process on their website. I enjoyed it so much that I choose to include a small excerpt of it below.

A main drive behind ace&jig was focus and clarity. We wanted to create a seasonless women's collection loosely based on one fabrication. Not denim, tees or knitwear, we wanted to create our own yarn-dye woven fabric. A fabric that could lead many lives, and tell many stories. We wanted to create effortless clothes where the fabric could speak for itself. Read more. . .

Beautiful images from Japanese label Bed & Breakfast's summer collection. I'm all over the stripes and the delicate minty fabrics.View the rest of the collection here.

Inspired by WHIT

This is the outfit that I wore to the Juicy Couture after party in New York, but I was so busy and everything was so rushed when I was there that I never found any time to photograph it. It was inspired by an outfit from a great new label called Whit from Whit Pozgay. The entire collection is, dare I say, cupcakes for the eyes! It's actually the real reason that I searched down this skirt on Etsy back in August. I said before that the skirt is versitale, but I think this may be one of my favorite ways to wear it. Too bad I didn't have a pretzel hat lying around when I went to take these photos!

The lighting was incredibly inconsistent when Corey and I went to take these photos, so you'll have to forgive us for that. We're really still trying to figure out the best picture-taking time since the time change back in October! Of course we didn't leave without taking a million sun-filled shots though. We got some great photos of Corey just before we left, so I figured I'd through one of those in at the end, too.

Photos by me & Corey!

Hetterson

 

I don't know how Stephanie from Dores does it, but she always manages to uncover some of the best collections around. I particularity like this group of photos from Hetterson. I remember reading about the handmade brand a while back on Anja's blog, Clever Nettle, and it was so nice to find it again! The fabrics, the shapes, and most of all, the colors, are just perfection. It's a brand I think everyone should know about.

On a side note, it seems this tumblr reawakening is having a serious affect on my postings. Would you all like to see more of the things that are inspiring me on this blog too (along with my outfits and thrift finds, of course), or should I keep all that stuff on tumblr?
