Loving the debut collection from designer Gabrielle Greiss. These cream ensembles are perfectly spring – so soft. See the show (including more looks in muted peach tones) at Style.com.

Odd hairstyling aside (seeing is overrated, I guess) these looks from Maison Martin Margiela look fantastic. See the complete collection at Style.com.

September Flickr Faves

autumn leaves, 2011 | simple pretty

October arrives tomorrow. Impossible, I say. Yet the trees are changing into their fall costumes, even beginning to drop their leaves (helped along by last night’s wind storm).  Autumn is here.

I’ve started an online photography class. We’re currently in week two, studying light. Hoping to get outside this weekend and find some inspiration in the golden tones. Here are some of my Flickr favorites from the past month:

  1. untitled
  2. Heirloom apples–King David
  3. untitled
  4. Morning on 4th Lake
  5. fallen leaves
  6. untitled
  7. The beauty of uncertainty
  8. Italy

Thanks to all of the photographers who inspire me on a daily basis. Flickr is an oasis of beauty to me, and I look at the world differently because of it. Happy weekend.
