Summer Style in the City

A few weeks ago, on an assignment from the magazine, I combed through the crowds at Coachella to snap some killer concert fashions. I loved seeing people’s personal styles and expressions—or rather, paying attention to them. Cool inspiring styles are everywhere, and in this bright lights big city, we certainly have our fair share of fashion addicts, style mavens, and trendy, trendy chickadees. So after this first true weekend of fun in the sun, I’m flexing my fashion muscles with CC’s hott looks for the summer (have to laugh at that one, c’mon now):

Post Script worked the Manhattan Vintage Show last weekend and I naturally showed up to support and scour the racks. The show was enlivening, as per usual, and upped my affinity for 70’s retro. Jumpsuits, patterns, flowy dresses and some vintage shades, and you are set! I love the skinny jean as much as the next person, but please oh please give me some flare!  I have about four pairs of bellbottoms on my “to buy” list right now.  This may also be a continuation of my dream of growing up in that time period.

Now that's what I'm talkin' about

On another note, and perhaps also a result of some vintage scores, I am loving polka dots this summer. They’re adorable and applicable in almost any scenario and so perfect for the warm weather. They work as a shirt, scarf, capri, bra, anything really, you can easily pair them and are just so sexy! On that note, color is the way to go this season- I’m personally in love with yellow right now. Blue is the hot color of spring, but I think a pop of color, in any regard, is just so fierce and can easily adds something to the outfit. Give me sunshine every day and the world is a better place.

And then of course, the cargo-army (very popular) trend I am obsessed with. Chunky green army watches, some camoflouge, and a cute cargo pant and I am one happy fashionista. I’ve fully been rocking some pieces straight out of high school. My own version of retro? Maybe not.

Vamped what is your summa favorites?! Off to go shopping (: -cc
