summerland holiday 2013

lookingglass1

it’s been a few days since i’ve posted (lots of work to do before my maternity leave and oh boy am i tired the rest of the time!), but i had to pop in to quickly share the new summerland holiday lookbook aptly titled looking glass. and of course, it’s the work of my favorite portland dream team with summerland shop owner megan hart behind the styling, hair and makeup, and photography by anja verdugo. i love the super romantic goth vibes, and am now coveting that cinnamon velvet and lace marianne dress from the first photo, if only i could fit in it! anyway, you can see the rest of the lookbook here and shop the looks here.

the secret garden by summerland boutique

it is very possible that as you read this post, i’m currently boarding a plane headed for portland, oregon. which is quite a coincidence considering that the latest summerland lookbook has just been released by a talented team of portlanders. the online boutique also has a companion brick and mortar shop on burnside st. which i will hopefully have the opportunity to visit this very afternoon! is your mind totally blown? because mine sort of is.

i’m excited to have the chance to browse through the new spring and summer selection including the many pieces so beautifully photographed against so many epic floral scenes in oregon. i can only hope that they’ll get just a bit of sun while i’m there so i can enjoy portland in all of it’s splendor, pretending that i have somehow been transported into the dreamy images from this lookbook.

summerland holiday lookbook

in the spirit of the holidays, today i thought i’d share the latest lookbook from summerland boutique. it was shot by the talented anja verdugo featuring some of their pretty new styles. i’m pretty well smitten with those kitty prints by twenty seven names, and will definitely be taking tips from the retro hair and makeup when i’m getting ready for my next holiday party.

 

summerland spring lookbook

i know this lookbook has been out for a little while, but better late than never! ever since i laid my eyes on the summerland spring 2012 lookbook, i have been in love. and what’s more? it was a collaborative effort between some of my favorite ladies on the web! if you aren’t familiar with summerland boutique, it’s a very beautiful online shop run by the ladies behind the blog cat party, which has been offering up some of my favorite inspirational content for years. and they teamed up with the multi-talented anja of clever nettle, another totally awesome blogger babe, and the photographer of this shoot. seeing the product of their creative efforts just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. and of course, they are featuring many of my favorite designers, so definitely go check out the shop if you haven’t already!
