We’re skipping ahead two weeks from our last installment, now clocking in at 31 weeks into this pregnancy. This week I’m rocking another killer vintage dress from one of my favorite shops in LA, Shareen’s Vintage. We decided to shoot against this colorful mural just down the street from us, at one of the small local parks in the Santa Monica area.
Come back next week for an update in our ongoing series: Patterns, Preggos & Painted Places.

One quirky print trend that caught our attention from the Resort 2014 runway shows was the use of typography. Often executed in black and white for a more optical effect, we see how various compositions create positive and negative space, accentuating both geometric and organic shapes found in the letters and numbers.

Our new color mood contributor, Michelle Hughes, has us craving the perfect weekend retreat to Palm Springs with this week’s color story. Nothing beats the heat like a lazy afternoon spent at a desert oasis.
