Danielle from Story Of Style

Danielle of Story of Style is one of the first bloggers I met in Boston. I love her vivacious, warm personality and cool girl vibe! She was also one of the first fans of my photography, and we both share our love for the Big Apple!

Needless to say, I was beyond thrilled to photograph her recently, before her big move back to New York City!

We were supposed to meet last week on Monday April 15, but we all know how that day panned out.

So, with a beautiful Spring day in Boston this past weekend, we were able to shoot at The Liberty Hotel and in and around Beacon Hill.

Here, some of my favorites....

Greece: Santorini, More Stripes

As seen in Santorini, stripes galore!

Greece: Santorini, Stripes

You know how the Greek flag has stripes on it? I gravitated towards that but switched up the colour.

More Stripes Pinspiration.

Boston: Marathon Style

Spectator style at the Boston Marathon 2012. Trendy neon. Other inspiration here.

Greece: Mykonos: Stripes

As seen in Mykonos. I love the simple black flats with the striped dress and the brown bag.

Other summer stripe inspiration on my Pinterest, here!

Greece: Athens, The Acropolis, Hat

I thought this little girl was adorably dressed for the BLAZING HEAT! There was literally NO SHADE to hide under over the entire spanse of the Acropolis. I didn't have my trusty straw fedora with me on this trip, like I did in Paris.

In the heat a hat is a smart idea.

Here's more summer hat inspiration on my Pinterest.

Greece: Athens, Shift Dress + Happy Spring!

I'm digging her bright yet simple shift dress. As seen from across the Acropolis, Athens.

This has me thinking about buying something as simple, modern and timeless as the shift dress.

More inspiration, here, in Spring's hottest trends:

Yellow, Florals, Colourblock, Stripes

Happy First Day of Spring!

Greece: Red Pants

It's time to move on to GREECE! Spring's here and it's feeling like Summer, so it's time to break out the cottons and linens and dream about tropical vacations, sandy beaches, and crystal blue waters.

This man has red pants AND red shoes.

What sunny destination are you dreaming of today?

NYC: Over the Knee

Now that the weather's so warm, I'm thankful to be able to put away my boots. Although I have to say I'm really thankful to not have even had to bring out my SNOW boots!

What do you think of the over-the-knee boot and thigh-high boot trend? Are we ready to put them away forever?

As seen in Soho. Also in Soho, Bread.

NYC: Oxfords

As seen on Madison Avenue, New York.

Garance Doré Inspiration

I was inspired by this photograph taken by Scott Schuman of Garance. I think she looks so carefree and elegant and easily put together.

Here's my take on this look. I'm a huge fan of rolling up my sleeves to a 3/4 length, otherwise I just look stumpy!
Is this something you'd wear?

What is it about that pop of YELLOW that really makes one think of Spring?

My breakdown?

Spring = Easter = Baby chicks = Baby chick yellow

How's that?

Love this "chick's" effortless look.
