I started out my morning with a pastry and yogurt as well as
two shots of Turkish coffee.I browse through a thick September issue of California Style
magazine to pick out interesting ideas. I notice lots of arts and culture,
runway fashions, and latest fashions. I will list and describe seven different
styles for fashion and home décor in the next seven posts on today’s blogging
agenda. So, look for The Artist Look, The Bicoastal Traveler, The Professional,
The Novelist, The World Traveler, The Urban Dweller, and The European Style.But before I start, I will make a tasty salad, comprised of
arugula, romaine lettuce, and broccoli pieces as well as chopped onion, vegan
shredded cheese, and top with cold and juicy watermelon pieces.
1st Fall Fashion 2015 Profile: The Artist Look.
The Artists style includes crewneck sweaters
with graphic prints as well as clothes with photograph scenes. Lacy pantyhose
look like tattoo art. This artist lives in his/her one room studio, where
she/he has everything they need anyway because they are happily content with
their current and personal life. The walls are decorated with collages from the
artist’s past, which is almost like a nostalgia room or 3D version of their
photo album. This studio home is filled with vintage finds, often found
discarded off the street somewhere as well as scavenging garage sales and
thrift shops. Occasionally, artists might drop by the local dumpster and garbage
dump location. It is all about finding something unique, antique, and
interesting to add to their vintage collection. A large table in the studio is
filled with stacks of inspirational books, as well as sculptures, plants,
pictures, and artwork. Add your own photo albums on this book stacks because
your own past can inspire you to move forward. Or, you photo album might even
be an inspiration to your visitors, who will see you as their muse.
2nd Fall Fashions 2015 Profile: The Bicoastal
Traveler
Saturday, September 12, 2015
The Bicoastal traveler is always on the go, from the coastal
beaches of southern California to the busy downtown city life of NYC and LA.
This person toggles between working on their projects and relaxing amidst
nature and animals in a secluded location. Their fashion style is very casual
and natural, preferring basic solid colors and stripes. But occasionally they
will add interesting pieces, such as metallic-colored jacket with lace-up front
and drawstring bottom, cute ankle boots, and a large blue purse. Other must-have accessories include chain
bracelets, high heel sandals, and a beach towel. This person kitchen might
include ceramic bowls and plates, where they enjoy healthy vegetarian dishes,
such as a variety of colorful salads. A simple photograph decorates her modern
and minimalist house, as well as her book collection and photo albums. This
person might often seem like a recluse because of his/her meditation amidst
nature, whether a park or beach, but they will occasionally take excursions to
vegan restaurants, artist malls, and nature malls. Their favorite hangouts
might be Malibu, Venice Beach, and Melrose Avenue.
3rd Fall Fashions 2015 Profile: The Professional
Saturday, September 12, 2015
The Professional has a business casual style, where he/she
likes to dress elegant but laidback and comfortable. This person’s home even
has the same elegant style, but casual and comfortable feel. The furniture seems
to look modern but simple, similar to IKEA furniture. There are modern props,
fixtures, stacks of books and magazines decorating coffee tables, side tables, and
magazine racks. Such people have the clean and polished style of San Francisco,
OC, and West Hollywood because living in the city brings a certain excitement
and adventure to their life. They are always on the go, whether hanging out in
downtown Costa Mesa in OC area, West Hollywood in LA, or up north in San
Francisco. They might even venture out
toward Hollywood to check out iconic buildings of Old Hollywood. Their favorite
purse is the large twisted cabas in color-block. It holds everything they need
for a long day of work and play. A perfect clothing piece might include a
multifunctional long trench vest in a neutral color, which can be worn as an
elegant shirtdress, tunic with leggings or skinny jeans, or layered with
turtleneck, cardigan, scarf and tights. Shoes and purses are also in a similar
neutral color. Their office space is their home, which is decorated in simple
but modern furniture. Their walls are filled with their own photographs and
artworks, which looks more like a personal art gallery studio. Lots of big
pillows and throw blankets decorate their couches and bed. Their favorite
jewelry piece is a class ring, either from college or high school.
4th Fall Fashions 2015 Profile: The Novelist
Style
Saturday, September 12, 2015
The Novelist is a do-it-yourselfer, preferring to do
everything on their own to express themselves as the save money. They started
by remodeling an old, rundown place into a fresh-faced modern studio, which
they are proud and happy to call home because they did it themselves and on
their own. This studio might be located at an industrial location, or just a
small and sleepy town. This Novelist is also an artist, designing his/her own
book covers and promo material. This person is currently working on their fifth
sequel to their novel because their story continues as their personal journey
in life continues. Some of these strange writers might be named Lulu, Momo,
Kiki, Vivi, Bebe, ChiChi, Gigi, and even Fifi. Their favorite fashion
accessories are shoes, and always find a reason to buy a new pair of shoes to
add in their collection. They make a statement with the shoes they wear because
their clothes are very basic and simple, such as denim, t-shirts, tank tops,
shirtdresses, tank dresses, sweatshirts, and sweaters. They occasionally will
buy iconic jewelry, such as diamond-studded hoop earrings. This fall season’s
shoe collection will include loafers, sling-back, and mary janes in stacked
heels. Each pair stands out with its bold features. One might be in a bold
turquoise color, while the other pair might have colorful gems and
embellishments. And, one pair might just look classic and elegant. Each pair
has a personality its own, as each pair brings life to the person who wears
them, enabling the person to transform themselves into that personality, style,
or image. When not working on their writing or novels, this person will loom an
outfit or accessory that will fit in with their wardrobe.
5th Fall Fashions 2015 Profile: The World
Traveler
Saturday, September 12, 2015
The World Traveler loves to travel, meet different people
and check out different cultures, whether in real life or via the internet. They
often get interesting inspirations from other countries and other people in
faraway locations. Everything they own tends to be from a different country
because they don’t really shop much, but instead they will buy one expensive
souvenir from a different country or a new foreign designer in order to make a
statement. Their personal collection might include vintage sunglasses or
eyeglasses from Paris, handmade blouse from Nepal, loungewear from Japan, and
modern Scandinavian furniture from Sweden. This person lives in a loft-style
space, where they also have their own workshop as well as their gallery to
display their work and designs. They have a simple life, often taking a stroll
in their neighborhood to enjoy Saturday brunch at a café, before stopping at a
haircut place for their seasonal hairstyle. On Sunday morning, they might stop
by the bakery for their breakfast, before stopping at the florist to buy a
bouquet for their coffee table. For this person, it is all about living at the
present moment, making the most of your own life.
6th Fall Fashions 2015 Profile: The Urban Dweller
Saturday, September 12, 2015
The Urban Dweller lives in a warehouse-style home, which
looks like a huge studio with lots of space, but it looks more like an office
space, where this person continuous working on projects, drawings, designing,
like a workaholic. Some items found in this loft include artist apron, braided
baskets, totes, attache and purses, twill jackets, and casual and comfortable
weekend-wear. There are also books stacked on the floor as well as inspirational
pictures and drawings decorating the walls. This person’s personal philosophy
is it is not about the money, but it is all about the work and inspirational
ideas.
7th Fall Fashions 2015 Profile: The European
Style
Saturday, September 12, 2015
The European Style is all about creating a comfortable
living space that is filled with luxury, or as this year’s Style Week OC calls
it, Modern Luxury home décor and fashionable outfits. The items in this house
have ornate detailing and prop as well as French antiques to decorate modern
furniture. There are lots of gold items. It is also very organized, where
little things are placed into clear bowls and organizing containers. This
person prefers metal, white, and clear containers than wicker baskets because
the modern luxury style is about a polished and clean style rather than natural
and earthy. The bedroom dresser has makeup organized inside white and clear
containers, next to personal photos of family, friends and pets. There might
also be a clear bowl filled with makeup samples. The glass coffee table might
include a stack of three or four books as well as some modern or ornate props
for décor. The side table in the hallway also displays some antiques, props, and
even a plant. Interesting photos are placed overhead to highlight the items,
like inside a European museum. But each room mostly contains minimal pieces
that give an overall look of modern luxury and sophistication. They might also
be an ornate chandelier inside an all-white dining room.
