Tulip Louise: One Girl, Five Spring Looks
It’s officially spring, ladies! Time to peel back the bulky sweaters, exfoliate that winter skin and soak up the extra hours of daylight. Yes, spring comes with a ton of great perks but the clothing transition can be totally daunting. Anna Chatelain of Tulip Louise is here to help take the pressure off and get your wardrobe prepped + ready.
The Spring 2011 Trends You Need to Know:
Look A:
Want to channel your inner Chloe or Isabel Marant? Then it’s time to hop on the sheer trend bandwagon. Hint: Always pair your sheer item up with an opaque article of clothing underneath for adequate coverage. Look A also plays with colorblocking, which has become a huge sensation via the likes of Jil Sander! Hint: Make sure all pieces are solids; either in the same color family or in complementary hues.

Look B:
You don’t have to be a world traveler to embrace the tribal trend—whether you choose to experiment with a blouse or a necklace, try mixing fun patterns and colors together. It’s also no secret that high-waisted pants are back in a big way. Don’t fight it. Begin by pulling out interesting tops and start tucking in already! Hint: Go for bright and/or patterned blouses, paired with solid pants.

Look C:
Celebrate fringe this spring! When used properly, the unexpected texture can add a really nice addition to an otherwise simple outfit. Hint: This works best in moderation, so limit yourself to one fringed piece per look {i.e., skirt OR handbag}. Please also note that Look C is featuring yet another sheer top!

Look D:
Summon the flower child within, because this season’s star of the show is definitely the 70s trend. Super flared jeans, floppy hats, platform wedges and loads of bangles are all welcome!

Look E:
What is spring without flowers? Boring. Inject a touch of floral into your wardrobe with either a flirty dress, a pair of high waisted shorts or subtle accessories!

what to wear fall 2011: lavender, maxi skirts, navajo prints
Several themes stood out in our Fall Fashion Stylebook that we didn’t necessarily plan. But that’s what happens. When you’re working with the best clothing in the state, and photographing it in a beautifully designed home, a new angle can reveal an element–whether it’s a color combination or a design detail–that suddenly comes to life through the camera lens.
Here are a few of my favorites.

I love the juxtaposition of ladylike lavender against a rustic background. Lavender may be a feminine hue, but it holds its own against the stone fireplace.
Aren’t these chairs beautiful, basking in the glow of the fireplace?
These lavender pillows are the answer when red would seem too earthy and blue too cool or bright of a hue.
And what about this setting? Lavender almost becomes a neutral, fading into the seating area to allow the fireplace to take center stage.

The hand-carved door was the ideal background for this gorgeous prairie-inspired outfit. (LOVE the skirt and fringe bag!)
Sturdy and strong, these wood doors make an architectural statement all their own.
This arch on these doors is striking, and I love how the design of the room brings out the texture of the doors with the rough hewn coffee table.

Of course, Navajo was THE print this season. (Have you seen the Proenza Schouler runway show?)
On this couch, the pattern becomes edgy and modern with its black/white/pink/orange color combo.
Rugs are a simple, non-committal way to incorporate the print into your home. Love the impact of several grouped together, and outside for that matter!
In this Southwestern-inspired space, the pattern peeks through ever so slightly in the rug, so the overall Southwest effect is subtle rather than kitschy or overwhelming.
