this nature-inspired collection from mika michida is soo beautiful! not everyone would be able to pull these off because they are so unique, but that’s what’s so great about them. and on top of that – mika is a sustainable fashion company and all the clothes are made out of organic and sustainable materials.

stylish boyfriend wear

i love these oversized, comfy, fall weekend, “boyfriend wear” clothes from california clothing line lamixx. the oversized men’s shirts are the best – they looks just like your boyfriend’s shirts, but are fitted for a woman (and are more likely to be clean than the shirts your boyfriend leaves around his apartment.)

that quote is from one of my favorite shows of all time, my so-called life – an obsession of mine through the 90′s. i could go on about it forever, but one thing i remember is that one of angela’s (claire danes) key wardrobe pieces was plaid shirts.

my so called life image

and my my so-called life, pearl jam, grunge rock loving self had multiple plaid shirts that i wore around middle school. so it was surprising to see the plaid shirts making a comeback this season a la sarah jessica parker, drew barrymore and jessica biel.

luckily though, plaid this time around is in much more flattering shapes – like tunics and dresses.

great new finds from tortilla girl

i’ve featured tortilla girl before here on the clothing menu and i just stopped by her etsy store again and am loving some of the new summer designs. i first fell in the love with the seersucker bubble dress..kind of reminiscent of carrie’s candy girl outfit in sex in the city, no? then i saw the linen printed bag..and then i saw the lace tunic top. they are all so pretty!

style inspiration: feist

this weekend i was in nyc having a great time visiting friends. on sunday night, i went to a concert for Dark Was The Night, a compilation album that supports AIDS prevention by Red Hot Organization. please check it out. anyway, as part of that concert, Feist performed a few songs. i realized when she was up there singing away that she has great style! last night she was wearing a sheer white blouse, some boyfriend jeans and heels – cute! here are a few pictures of her from her website:

as you could see, her style consists of pretty organic, natural colors with a lot of blouses and jeans. i don’t know where Feist shops, but i just looked around for clothes from some indie designers that seem to fit her style – check them out:

Quail: a british clothing line made from organic cotton, fair trade cotton and recycled fabrics

Stewart + Brown: an LA based line from a husband and wife team inspired by their love and respect for nature and passion for design

larimeloom: an italian clothing line made of handspun, handsewn or handwoven natural fibers. (i own a shrug from larimeloom and love it!)

entree (gastropub): pomegranate tunic by thefullspectrum

pomegranate’s are healthy for you – and so is this cute tunic from thefullspectrum. the fit is flattering on anyone and the pomegranate embellishment on the bottom brings just the right splash of color to it. this line of women’s clothes evolved from a line of baby clothes, inspired by the designer’s daughter, and the items are all handmade.
