Frenchtrotters


I've just spent the last hour of my life lusting after a number of things from the inspiring French label, Frenchtrotters. It's another one of those labels that I knew a little bit about, I think––or maybe I'm confusing them with Trotter's, a popular shoe brand that I always seem to find at thrift stores––but either way, their stuff is amazing, structured and tough, and laced with just the right amount of western flare. If I were to be a fashion designer at this point in my life, this is the stuff I would make, only with a small douse of white Edwardian inspired cotton dresses, too.

I actually discovered this label from a great new site called Nuji that I think everyone should know about! It's a Tumblr of sorts––you see something you like and add it to the site with a bookmarklet––the only difference is that it's reserved primarily for products, linked back directly to the product page. Eventually, after it gets to know you a little better, it customizes the content it shows you according to your interests. It may sound confusing, but it's actually really simple and a great way to collect a wishlist or, like in my case, discover something new. You can see some of my favorite things here.

Pocket full of posies.


I think I mentioned these photos a few weeks ago, but I've been too busy to edit them until now. The theme and styling of the outfits was strictly based around Corey's pants. He found them at Saver's a few months ago, but every time he wore them for some pictures something else always came up before we could photograph them. On this particular day, I promised him that I would finally get around to shooting them. I thought it would be fun to style some similar looks for me and Brittany, too.

On me: Blouse: Etsy // Skirt: Estate Sale // Shoes & Hat: Saver's
On Brittany: Blouse: Thrifted // Trench: Saver's // Tights: Zara // Shoes: Payless
On Corey: Shirt, Pants, Shoes: Saver's

I'm so used to doing these pictures alone that it was nice to have some company behind the camera for a change. I think both Brittany and Corey looked extra cute too! We looked like little school children. My favorite shot is the one towards the top where Brittany and I are throwing our hats in the air. Do you see where my hat is and where I'm looking? ha. It doesn't even make any sense, but I look so darn happy.
