I specifically remember the day I was leaving for my trip to South Africa. We were sitting on the plane, and I was staring out the window as others started boarding around me. There were these bright painted stripes painted on the ground below in the most perfect pattern, and I kept trying to capture [...]
Some days, all a girl really needs are some pretty pictures. Especially when that girl is sitting at home fighting a flu (no fun). I stumbled upon this editorial a while go and keep going back to it – I love the retro styling – especially the print pants – and the colors are just [...]
Maria @ Orchard Bloom Ha. I didn’t notice her facial expression till you mentioned it. I’m loving her hairstyle.
Annie Hahha.. I picked up on that whole identical facial expression thing but somehow it didn’t actually register as that until I read your line. Homegirl’s gorgeous so I guess we can’t hate, but perhaps some variety in her next shoot?
Nicole @ Dutchie Love This editorial is absolutely gorgeous! I pinned every image because I couldn’t pick just one…thanks for sharing 
Cecilia Makes me think of SMASH on NBC! “Hello boys!”
Kelly Golightly Those colors are stunning! Hope you feel better soon xx.
Franki Hmmm…how does one order that body?? franki
Meg The shades of green are amazing! So cheery.

Amy Peltier Working on a great project inspired by Breakfast At Tiffany’s. This was very inspiring!

Last week, I showed you some of my favorite pieces from the spring Banana Republic collection, but today, we’re taking you behind the scenes. You know. Where the magic happens… blouse // palm pants I have to say it was pretty fun to walk onto this gorgeous property in the Hollywood hills and wander through the [...]
Preciously Me Love those palm pants!
And those shots are very beautiful, very Palm Springs… !
Andi of My Beautiful Adventures LOVE where they chose to do the shoot!
Ivana @ Macarons and Pearls Oh my goodness, this is too good to be true I love every single photo, I want every single piece from that collection (the shoes? To die for!), and I think I’m going to outbid you for that sofa (just kidding, of course

So, I’m working on a fun little photo shoot for Friday that I’m preeeetty excited about. Ya’ll know I don’t do a lot of outfitting posts around here, but the holidays bring out the playful fashionista in me, and I love an excuse to get all dolled up, so we’re doing it! In the meantime, [...]

Karen A I love the pops of pink in the first few pictures! I’ve been wanting a bright pink coat for the holidays for so long!
Maria @ Inspiration Affirmation Definitely the dotted pants — no question! What amazing combinations!
We all know that - for the most part – fashion design and trends seem to repeat themselves. But when I stumbled upon this editorial from September 1999… I found it pretty amusing at how many of these styles have re-emerged lately… for better or for worse! Yes, the styling has evolved (thank goodness!) but [...]
lily wow — you’re so right!! i’m sure part of that is the brilliance that is steven meisel, too

Callie Grayson I am loving the velvet and the mixed patterns that are out now. In 1999 I was wearing more jeans and vintage dresses, so I missed all the trends at that time
Xx
Callie
Anna Louisa That’s great! I’m looking for the perfect velvet something for the holidays…cozy and elegant at the same time!
Grace - Stripes & Sequins This is hilarious… I graduated highschool in ’99 and remember all of these trends. I am happy that fairisle sweaters are making a comeback… have always loved them!
Laurie Bearce Does anyone remember the jeans that were too big around your waist so you’d cinch them up with a belt and they pooched out the back? Maybe this was just a Scottsdale thing but man – I’m glad that’s over!
la domestique Love the styling in those photos! In 1999 I had this really great tailored burgundy velvet blazer I wore to jazz up my jeans and t-shirts. Wish I still had it now!
Veronique loveeee the trend inspiration!
wmbg i actually like the styling! crazy how these shots are from 13 years ago.
confession: velvet is a year round obsession of mine. but a new love is the resurgence of oxblood. definitely feeling that.
Cassandra LaValle Post author i’ve begun to be velvet obsessed lately myself
julie not my personal “look” but I adore the dramatic romance of all that velvet !
Franki My daughter is going through my closet as I write this….. franki
Meredith I LOVE velvet – the texture, feel and look is so luxe! Happy to see it’s back in b/c I will rock that look!

Funny thing isthat lately i have been watching some Seinfeld box sets and just thinking “damn,Elaine is quite in trend for nowadays”
But just like you,i was in college,so I lived in jeans and tshirts and a lot less sparkle…but i did use turtle necks and some velvet when the weather allowed me to (i mean allowed me, because at that time i lived in Rio )
xx,
A.
lauren schugar Yup, these pictures are still current, crazy that there over 10 years ago
Lately, my taste has taken a turn for dark, rich, opulent materials in velvets, florals and brocades, and I’ve yet to find an editorial that has layered in all these styles together as well as this one… The way the fabrics and textiles all come together in these images is stunning – I love when [...]
Lauren The detail of the strapless dress in the second picture is absolutely stunning! I can only imagine how rich all of these pieces must look in person….beautiful!
Plum Pretty Sugar Loungerie The Green Velvet is soooooo stunning and chic!

designstiles Badass, I have the wallpaper in photo four in my powder room.
Franki You GO GIRL!!! franki
Thought I hate to admit it, this week my mind has definitely drifted to fall. In the office, we’ve begun planning concepts for the holidays, and in my head I’ve been obsessing over fall accessories. But it is still summer, and I’m still clinging to the last little bits of days spent by the lake… [...]
Nataya Naty Ponders adorable vintage vibe! I can’t wait for fall either and playing layering:)
Tibs Yeah, everybody is taking about autumn even though the summer and summer-ish temperatures are still here! Not yet ready for the darker colours of autumn.
Beautiful editorial with such a fabulous atmosphere!
Vanessa Ribeiro Beautiful editorial, love it* =)
Love,

Andi of My Beautiful Adventures Beauuuuuutiful!
Franki Ooooooh, SO CUTE!!! Now…if I could just lose about thirty pounds…. *sigh* franki
callie grayson I can’t believe summer is almost through….. and I too find myself beginning to think of autumn with the cooler morning walks with the pup. It is my favorite time of year for clothing and dreaming of coats and scarves…. then I snap back into reality and wish for just a few more weeks of warmth.
pretty post, the images are perfect for autumn inspiration.

Sam Young Such iconic looking photographs, not to mention how much I’m loving the hairstyles. Thanks for sharing Cassandra!
Form & Fashion I love these photos! I wish these were my summer days! Oh well, maybe I can make them my fall ones!
Great Post!
Love, Form & Fashion
Style of Your Own Cassandra these photos are jaw dropping! I’m a tad excited to say that I styled my hair like that the other day for fun. I had no idea the look would end up in a magazine! I agree with you that the lipstick used is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!
Mollie
Cassandra LaValle Post author mollie, i’m impressed!! i want to try these styles out for fun in the fall… perhaps i’ll do my own photo shoot! xo
My Love Wedding Ring It is pretty disappointing that fall seems to be looming so large, mind you if it means I can wear trousers like the red ones in the first photo, heck, I’ll take it
FMFashionMixer Love the styles, so old school but modern and chic!
stephanie @ Baba Souk The faded colors of those picks are so right on. Love the feel
life is in the details. style accordingly.
I love this!!! It’s so true, beauty is all around us! I frequently find my self taking photos of the lines on the subway platform. Not quite as glamorous as these but with the same idea!
It’s all about being aware of those details around us – a great example!
Love all of the lines and pops of color!
http://happinessiscreating.com/
It reminds me of one of the murals in the Wynwood Arts District, here in Miami. All very bold and graphic. You’d love it!!!
love this!
I love the simplicity of the lines. Great eye!
adore the colours
Couldn’t agree more with your last statement!
Beauty is all around us! I found myself in a similar situation recently, where I was caught amongst a group of people trying to take pictures of some building details. I awkwardly looked up and found a couple of people staring back at me and then at the object of my affection, trying to see what I found so interesting. Maybe I made them stop and admire it too.
Love this so much
Wow–those street photos are amazing. Love your site btw….
thanks nadya!
