THE TREND: The Little Black Dress

Lifestyle

Feb 17

California Winters.... the time when it's perfectly acceptable to wear a LBD (Little Black Dress) and sunglasses in the middle of February. I laugh at this because as I headed out for the day, I decided to pair my LBD with my favorite Helmut Lang jacket and a scarf - which I had to eventually take off because I was roasting in the sun!

But it got me thinking about how versatile the little black dress is. Dress it up, dress it down - the possibilities are endless! How do you wear your LBT? Show us by using #estcalifornia on your social channels!

ON TREND: FASHION FAVORITES FOR SPRING 2022

We weeded through the trends we know you will never wear, and found some fresh and exciting fashion looks with some classics returning for Spring 2022. Take a look at 3 of the best Spring 2022 fashion trends for women that you will want to wear!

AN ODE TO THE MAGIC OF MOVEMENT

The idea of flow and movement always relates to some sort of natural magic.
It is the breaking of a stale ideas, position, mindset or energy.
Movement is fleeting energy in motion.

BE A RAREBIRD: MEET NERI & MANU OF OTTWAY THE LABEL

Meet Neri and Manu of the Australian-based clothing label, Ottway. Their collections are all vintage-inspired, unisex and made in limited numbers as part of a commitment to sustainable practice. Each piece has its own story, inspired by nature or their own family history which gives the brand that personal touch that can resonate within us all.

ON TREND: FASHION FAVORITES OF SUMMER 2020

When we think of summer, it’s usually filled with beaches, bathing suits and pretty, flow-y dresses. However, summer looks a bit different this year. While we all do our best to #stayhome, and #staysafe, we are seeing a lot more Loungewear, Joggers and… for the first time, masks? (anyone else feel a bit like Handmaid’s Tale?)

All kidding aside, we wanted to compile some of our favorite fashion trends of this summer. Just because we are staying home, doesn’t mean we can’t look cute doing it.

CDMX: Goodbye Folk, The Vintage Store that Left Us Wanting More.

One of my favorite things to do in a new city is to check out the vintage and thrift store scene so when I was wandering around the Roma Norte area in Mexico City, I was so stoked to find this place. If you’re a vintage clothing fan like me, you MUST stop here.

Rocking that Festival Style for Spring

When April & May rolls around and the music festivals are underway, it's like the kickoff to warmer weather has officially begun. That means the start of effortless chic beach/boho style and all the light cotton layers a gal could ask for.

Must-Haves for This Festival Season

Festival Season is here! The weather is warming and whether or not you have tickets to the festival, you can still enjoy these Springtime fashion.

THE TREND: COLOR POPPIN'

Summer calls for color. And as a resident of foggy San Francisco, I admit that I tend to wear too much black. What can I say, sometimes I forget that it’s summer here!

THE TREND: Nautical Summer Stripes

One of the classic summer trends that says so much about our heritage is the nautical summer stripe. In summer, especially around the 4th of July, the perfect holiday outfit is the all American summer stripe.

THE TREND: Denim on Denim

Get ready for a lot of “Canadian Tuxedos” here on Established California. I adore pairing denim on denim and this look is no exception.
