calivintage dear creatures

two of the clear trends that have materialized this summer are definitely americana and all things nautical. i’m thinking red, white, and blue in preppy styles and plenty of sailor collars and nautical stripes. but in my book, these are exactly the types of looks that can never go out of style. they’re right on par with white t-shirts and blue jeans.

i’m sure you already recognize that first dress pictured up top, since modcloth was nice enough to name it the calivintage dress! but it’s a dress in a collection of many other awesome pieces from dear creatures spring/summer 2010 that i just had to share with you. this year was the first time i actually got my hands on one of their pieces, and i have to tell you, i was not disappointed. the fabric and construction is strong and sturdy and the cut of the dress is perfectly flattering, so i’m definitely going to be keeping my eye out for some of the other pieces when they come out. in particular, that precious sailor collar romper!

and just for fun, here are a couple little bonus shots of another way i wore the dress. since after i got it, i’ve probably worn it 5 times already!

  4. I love the collar on this! It's lovely, I'm certainly going to be something with a collar similar in the next few weeks. I'm such a fan of the colours also :)

  17. I've always loved the idea of wearing uniform-inspired or even costume-inspired everyday wear. It's so whimsical!
