Chic for Cheap: Inspired by a Flickr Photo

Camilla Engman is one of my favorite artists.  Her depictions of little creatures and the way she fawns over her beautiful dog Morran makes me smile to no end.  I chose this particular image of hers: "Visiting the Sea" because I wanted to try for a look that is casual and fun...maybe for a day of relaxation near the sea?!

Hope you are having a terrific Tuesday so far.  xox Ez

All your outfits are effortlessly cool! I don't know if you have heard of Polyvore but it seems like it's something you would enjoy. You can find it at polyvore.com and I did a blog post on it last friday: http://kellyhicks.wordpress.com/2009/07/17/fashion-friday-polyvore/

These are probably my fav posts on CC, you always do such a bang up job, so much that I showed my SO today, he isn't really into blogs/blogging, fashion, design, etc, at all & he was amazed at how you manage to pull in most of the elements from the piece & he wanted to see more!!! YAY! Love to you!

Camila is a great artist -- I love her work! Great outfit you've put together... so relaxed and beachy. I love it!

I LOVE THESE POSTS SO MUCH. Although I love everything about your blog, this feature is my favorite. I really appreciate how you choose fashionable things that are affordably priced. It seems like every magazine out nowadays (with the exception of those geared for teens) includes only really expensive pieces in their style columns.

P.S.I have that bag. ;)
