Another Wildfox shoot for Resort ’10: “USA”. I believe this collection consists primarily of reissues of their bestselling, classic styles. I think the blurb from their blog sums it up nicely:
“When you start to feel down about the weather or your location, just take a local tour bus ride or a road trip to LA. That’s what we did! When you are with beautiful, Australian “it” girl, Tiernan Cowling, and Mark the Cobrasnake, life is always a vacation; Especially now that Tiernan’s moved to California. We chased her down Hollywood BLVD, sprawled out across the stars, bought maps to the stars homes and filled bags with fake oscars. We ran to the top of the tour bus right before the driver left, the air felt great up there as we whizzed past In N Out burger and Chateau Marmont. We jumped off the bus at McDonalds and got soft serve ice cream, we fell even more in love with LA and each other.”
Curious if you’re drawn to photo shoots like this, which are more spur-of-the-moment and street style focused, or prefer more orchestrated and studio-oriented shoots? I suppose there’s a time and place for both …
As promised, and yes, a little late, here are the photos from day two in LA. The day was filled with lots of looking, choosing, trying to fill gaps and buying, but it was well worth it. I was on a hunt for perfect floral dresses, which surprisingly were hard to find, but I managed to pick out a few that I’m very exciting about. Oh, and the purses too. One black, drawstring style and a white fold-over chain strap with metal detailing, which are both shown below, as well as a dove grey oversized tote with exposed zipper detailing.
Now, the waiting game begins …
Yesterday was day one of LA, and after all was said and done, I was exhausted. We left super early yesterday morning so it was a long day, and thus we spent only a half day looking at merchandise. But, regardless, I managed to find some bicyclette gems, and thanks to my mother/ traveling companion/ photographer extraordinaire, I have photos to share!
We’re heading back to do some more buying today, this time with a full night’s rest under our belts, so it should be a productive day. LA day two, here I come!
Last night I celebrated my finishing of school and launching of bicyclette with friends and family and let me tell you, it was the perfect party. I hoped to be able to share photos (it had a pink theme, which made for some fun outfit choices) today, but I’m still waiting to receive them, so you’ll have to wait for a few more days.
Tomorrow I leave for a quick trip to LA to do some more buying for the store, so it’s been a hectic weekend of planning and preparation, but I’m quite excited for the mini-getaway, let alone the opportunity to pick out more product for the launch. I’ll be blogging from there, and trying to take lots of photos to share, courtesy of my always-handy iPhone.
I’ve packed only dresses and sandals, and am looking forward to the sun and a visit to the ocean. West coast dreaming, that’s for sure.
Any styles/shapes/colour/prints/patterns you’re craving and just can’t live without? I’ll keep my eyes out, so give me any special requests you can think of …
