Can we just talk about the walking menswear inspo that is Spanish blogger extraordinaire Pelayo Diaz. I mean come on Pelayo, you are too cool.
See more of his killer style over at k a t e l o v e s m e.
p.s. the menswear monday header image is from the Balmain Homme A/W 10 lookbook. I don’t think I have ever specified that.
I was pleasantly surprised to come across this rebrand of a small local theater in Wisconsin. Black is such a sophisticated, glamorous color. I said just the other day that I wish it were used more often in design.
And when you think about it, black is the perfect color for a movie theater because of film history. Noir is even a genre of film, I mean come on people! Made for each other.
Have a look.
Really great work here by Cody Petts! I love his desire to preserve the history of a small town.

I hate when you know you are supposed to like a street style blog because it is really famous but you just cannot get onboard because:
1. the majority of people look completely ridiculous and/or are peacocking. If you’re a fashion editor, go crazy with it, but that’s a bit impractical for the rest of us.
2. you see the same trends over and over again. How many times have you seen the boyfriend jean + statement necklace like the Man Repeller, or the girl with long, slightly disheveled hair wearing a beanie a la Cara Delevingne?
What is to be done, I ask you? Is Garance the only one holding down the fort?
Enter Sandra Hagelstam to save the day with her impeccable taste. (I wrote about her on last month’s Blog Envy) My go to girl for inspiration has a new street style blog called The Neighborhood Watch.
Do not get me wrong, there are trends going on (looking at you Coachella), but more often than other blogs, you see gems like this…
So. much. minimalism. My heart is aflutter.
One of the reasons that I have not posted many outfits is because I am searching for a new style that’s minimal and classic but with an edgy twist. I also have not gone shopping since December and I don’t care two bits about it. Now, I have a clearer vision of what I want to go for.
I’m really excited to see how the aesthetic of the site evolves as Sandra gets more images.
If you dig it too, head on over to The Neighborhood Watch.
This is an unofficial, “look at my fun blazer and adorable friends” kind of post. I will try to get some more outfit posts to you soon!
Look at the buttons on this thrifted blazer! I call it clown-chic!
And speaking of clowning around…
The return of the supahhh model slouch! Don’t you think Ameorry has it down? Look at her go! haha
Also, you must see these cute ones.
That last one could be in a VCU brochure! I’m so glad we got to take these pictures before heading our separate ways for the summer. Such fond memories.
The nicer quality photos were all taken by the oh so talented Miranda.
