Home Cooked Karma

Home Cooked Karma is a New Mexico based brand that makes me not only want to wear bell bottoms again, but wear them in velvet. And in every color. 

They encompass the daring and carefree essence of youth of the 70's and 90's in their collections, ranging from skater skirt and crop top sets (one of my favorite things) to holographic bikinis. 

Their items just scream enviable summer vacation, just add a Polaroid camera, and aimless wandering.

{Lookbook} Tradlands fall 2014

I don't know about you, but I'm way out of my element in summer. Inspiration is forced and it just seems like the hot and sunny days will never make way for cool and rainy ones. Especially since right now I'm in sunny southern California, avoiding the beautiful beach beneath me, and instead dreaming of being in the Tradlands Fall 2014 lookbook. 
I mean seriously, I haven't been this enchanted with a lookbook in a while, it's done everything perfectly from the lush woodsy setting, the photo inset images, and the "I woke up on a chilly morning looking like this and went for a hike" model.  
I've worked with Tradlands before on Vixen Vintage and they were a treat to collaborate with (you can see that post here). They make menswear quality shirting specifically for women, and I think that really makes a difference. It's not just about the details and fit, it's really great to see something like this made for women from the start. 
So Tradlands is high on my list of brands to check out if you want something to live in all seasons, and this lookbook will be up there as a point of inspiration this fall.
