She Got The Motion Of The Sea Of Love In The Air

THE TALENT

Kate’s yet to do something that has made me fall in love with her acting skills. But, I have liked her in Remember the Titans, 21, and The Rules of Attraction. Also how can one not mention Blue Crush? She was too cute in it and the whole vibe of the movie was laid-back and manageable on the Rom-Com corniness.

THE STYLE

Kate’s style can only be described as hippie hipster, or edged-out former surfer girl. Her style seemed to evolve parallel with her career. Back in the haze of Blue Crush, her style was simply California sunny chic. But now as her move roles have become more serious, so has her taste in fashion. She knows how to highlight a print by surrounding it with neutrals. She knows how to look like the quintessential Band-Aid when at Coachella, yet rock a Rodarte dress just the next night. Her versatility continues to surprise me.

mosaic prints | layering | aviators | festival fashion

THE MISCELLANEOUS

Apparently called heterochromia, her eyes are two different colors: brown and blue.

Are you inspired by Kate’s style?

This is just a little ode to my favorite genetic mutation. Pretty blues are the result of a pigment mutation that happened almost 10,000 years ago. Look at me getting all scientific! In other words, we originally all had brown eyes.Here’s to science. I’ve got the mutation, too.

What is your favorite eye color? [Kate Bosworth's amazing ones are mine].

1. .BEANIE KNIT HATS.

There is nothing worse than facing the cold with wet hair. But, it’s 8 AM. You’re hair is so dirty it’s almost clean again. Enter stage left: the beanie. Cozy and adorable, this cold weather accessory has concealed some of my laziest beauty days.

2. .STURDY BOOTS.

But now it’s 8:30. An obligatory coffee detour has cut your schedule a little too close for comfort. Not the time for some stylish booties or blister-inducing flats. Give me a no-frills pair of Fryes (or its Target lookalikes) and I promise I will haul my caffeinated self to my destination on time.

3. .PRINTED SCARVES.

Ever step out the door in late winter only realize that your life-stifling boredom has turned your wardrobe black? Monochrome has its time and place and the bleak winter landscape is not it. Energize your outfit and maybe even your mood with some pops of texture or color. The printed scarf is the easiest fix. The draping options are innumerable and the effect is immediate. Plus, cold necks are the worst.

4. .TOGGLE COATS.

One good coat is just simply not enough. Every day you can pick out the world’s most adorable winter outfit, but what do you inevitably have to conceal it with? Your outerwear. I have me a puffer, a belted swing coat, a trench–-all perfect to have in stock. But, only with the addition of a toggle jacket will I finally be content with my coat rotation. While I’ll keep scanning the local thrift racks, let the ladies below convince you to do the same.

5. .LAYERING.

This one goes without saying. The more items, the less freezing-ness. And if anything spells out bohemian winter, it’s carelessly haphazard layering.

6. .FAIR ISLE SWEATERS.

The Scandinavian sweater is a warm, cabin-fever trend that keeps catching my eye. It’s another piece I’m planning to obtain by means of my trusty local Goodwill. Though I admit Diane does it the best, also note the fearlessness that is Rihanna–singlehandedly killing two trends with one stone (fair isle and poncho). Brave woman.

Stay warm!

Modern Girls Always Get Their Way, Modern Men Dream Of What They Can’t Say

As this season has progressed, I have begun to notice that my daily outfits have turned into something of a uniform: black opaque tights, colorblock dresses, black boots or flats, headbands for bad hair days, and less jewelry than usual. These looks are not my typical bohemian, flowy outfits that I live in from Spring to Fall. Blame it on the cold or the chasing pavements but I’ve gotten used to this seasonal wardrobe change. Dare I progress to the full on mod look a la Sienna Miller post 2005boho-chic? Probably not, but the inspiring outfits I’ve been seeing on some of my favorites have not dissuaded me completely!
