Closet Visit

I must share my new favorite fashion blog - Closet Visit. LA resident, artist, blogger, and wonder-woman Jeana Sohn visits the closets of friends, friends of friends, and rumored stylish ladies about town to style, photograph, and interview them in their homes. The result is an intimate, vibrant, inspiring blog and I find myself reading... each post multiple times. She has managed to capture an LA aura I had chocked up to faux-Hollywood existence - chic, bohemian, quirky, and brilliant artistic women in little white houses.

My first girl-crush was Beatrice Valenzuela, a hand-crafted shoe designer, mother, and glowing beautiful being. Then Joanna Williams with her spectacular collection of delicate white vintage dresses - the spider-web beaded piece is spectacular. And so the obsession begins...

Consistent through the blog is soft pretty LA light filtering through the shots - something to be desired in Seattle this time of year. Also - Jeana's ability to invite seductive bursts of color that leave you begging for large turquoise rings, vintage silk scarves, strappy red heels, and orange anything.

Off daydream about moving to a 1940's house in the suburbs LA.

today i hunted down a handful of men's fashion blogs. to be honest, i've always loved men's fashion more than women's. or rather it's a different love, i suppose. no matter, here the handful i found today.

fine and dandy shop
slew of men's street style that always back to it's vintage roots. dig it.

my boyfriend's category of style is sporty/outdoorsman so i'm always looking for ways to get him out of a fleece and jeans and into a couple more layers... here is my new device. i also like the mini-interviews.

what i saw today
street style but illustrated instead of photographed. beautiful. also bits of NY art scene peppered in.

mister mort
based in SF, hipster perspective that DOESN'T make me want to vomit. i particularly like the older gentlemen he captures and how blatantly opinionated his posts are. nicely done, sir.

street etiquette
my favorite find. two easy on the eyes gents in the bronx lay out your basics, your trends, and more in great images and videos. my particular favorite part - their mix of color and jewelry. GET THIS - the dudes are only 20.

and i leave you with this fun ad for the blind barber in NY.
happy thursday y'all.
