Seasonal fashion metamorphosis.

From left to right: 3.1 Phillip Lim 3D cable knit sweater, Karen Walker Patsy sunglasses, Alexander Wang Diego bucket bag, Isabel Marant Dicker boots (similar ones here), Topshop Moto raspberry denim hotpants.

If I had the perfect way to transition from summer into fall, this outfit would sum up a perfect seasonal fashion metamorphosis.  I love how I can mix in the Karen Walker sunglasses and Topshop denim hotpants perfect for summer but still have warmth and comfort for fall with the 3.1 Phillip Lim cable knit sweater and most coveted Isabel Marant Dicker boots.  The Alexander Wang Diego bucket bag is just perfect for any season, especially with the white crisp leather adorned with mesmerizing silver studs -- two colors that can go with pretty much anything.

For this transitional look, I kept the colors more towards fall, but with soft muted tones to not overpower the delightful bright summer season.

August 1st is just around the corner and decided what better way than to make a post to welcome Fall 2011 :).  Enjoy these inspirational photos I've gathered to help inspire you to slowly get back in those sweaters, boots, and layers this fall.

Beauty behind simplicity and minimalism.

Style Stalker babydoll dress, Alexander Wang Dakota boots, Equipment silk blouse, Acne pistol boots, Chloe python bag (similar choice), Zara wedge shoe (similar choice).

All of the above is what minimalism is to me, playing with different textures in fabrics, unique structure and shapes, along with a soft neutral color palette.  The designers and brands I listed are just about some that I feel really exhibit this type of minimalistic beauty in fashion.  It's such unbelievably beautiful eye candy to me, you can catch me staring at these sweet basics in awe..while coveting each.

Thought I'd start something a bit different too on these inspiration posts frequently posted now on my blog.  Inspired not only by fashion photos, but also by bloggers all around me of course.  Will post photos of bloggers I feel best suit the inspiration theme I'm writing about.  Enjoy! :)

Also, in the moodboards I put together, at the bottom of each I'll be adding links to the items with the cheapest options of that item for you, and if I can't find it, I'll include similar items with a link too noted as "similar choice."  Just a way to help you find an item you may want to purchase and save with thrifty options! :).  A fellow shopper (or shopaholic lol) helping another <3.

PS. I also wanted to let you know about a really rewarding and amazing campaign going on at the moment. It's called Wardrobe for Opportunity (WFO), a nonprofit that supports low-income individuals in the Bay Area and they are running a Trendsetter Campaign from June 14th - June 30th. Definitely check out the awesome 'virtual boutique' they created for the campaign! You can set a trend by donating $15, signing up to volunteer, or telling your friends. For more info, visit www.wardrobe.org/trendsetter.html.

Spread the ♥ through fashion and join :).

In my little world.

Anna Sui dress, American Apparel bow, Rebecca Minkoff MAC Clutch, Pamela Love Sacred Heart necklace, Chloe Eau de Parfum.

Put together a modern grown-up outfit of sweet feminine pieces with the textures of tulle, lace, hearts, sequins, and bows..which makes me reminisce about myself being a little girl again.  Those carefree days on playground swings, playing pretend with Barbies, riding all-day on my Spice Girls bike and tip-toeing around the house with my little ballet slippers.  Enjoy this post on inspirations from little princess girls everywhere.

For full effect, I included this song that I feel sums up being a little girl..if you feel like you've heard it somewhere before, it was from the movie "Bride Wars," with Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway :).
