Falling for Mod 2011

Chelsea boots, shift dresses, colour block, peter pan collars, double breasted coats, and a-line skirts; The 60s Mod style is in for Fall 2011! We've seen it before, as the weather gets colder, the warm tones of the 1960s fall back into autumn and this year it's all Mod. 

One excellent mod fashion inspiration for this fall is the ever popular Fashion model, Twiggy. 

Her dresses were always short, a-line with bold colours and clean, geometric lines.

Another 60s mod inspiration is the Designer Mary Quant. 

Pair her mini skirt "invention" with a pair of dark, rich tights.

Peter pan collar-Then and now

 Peter pan collars are sweet and vintage looking. 

They are a modern way to wear the 60s without looking like your wearing a costume.

Fire Escapes

 

 Forever 21 dress,  Vintage sequin jacket

I headed up to SF last weekend with my best friend Robert for his 22nd birthday.

We spent a lot of time out on the fire escape of our hotel, taking photos and taking in the views.

There is something so charming about rickety old bars and ladders outside an brick building. 

It's comforting knowing that there is always and escape plan. Even if it's just for a breath of city air.

Autumn Aviator

 Collection B Oliviette jacket, Forever 21 sweater and boots

I'm wearing another sweet jacket from Collection B which is extremely warm and perfect for this chilly Fall season! This bomber style jacket has a faux fleece lining giving it a vintage-like touch. 

It has already started raining here in California, creating a vivid autumn creation for the senses. It's october; time for pumpkin patches, loose, twirling coloured leaves, and that happy feeling of warmth within which rivals the cold skies outside.
