Etsy Finds & Faves: 09. 24. 10

Helloooo lovelies! It's Friday (happy dance)! I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead of you. It has finally cooled down around here today and I am completely revelling in the pseudo-Fallish weather. I've been noticing loads of soft neutrals popping up in my favorites all around the web, so I thought I'd share a tiny collection of those favorites (from etsy shops) with you all today. See you next week.  xo Ez

Chic for Cheap: Natural History Photo Presentation

Hello and happy Tuesday lovelies! A sweet CC reader and photographer Diana Brennan recently wrote in with a request for a Chic for Cheap look for an upcoming presentation of her photographic work. Here is the challenge in her own words:

"I have a meeting with a potential client, and I want to look professional but also artsy.  I'm pitching my natural history series of photographs, so tying into that aesthetic would be appropriate.  I have this dress from Old Navy in navy blue, and I'm wondering if I could incorporate it into an autumn outfit."

Since I'm assuming the weather is a bit more Autumnal in Rhode Island where Diana lives than here, I wanted to incorporate some cozy Fall pieces that still give her room to move around in. I included both jewelry and a scarf so there is an option between the two. I'd probably wear just the scarf and earrings (leaving off the necklace) or the necklace (and maybe earrings together) as the two accessory look options. Of course she'll need a bag to hold her portfolio in and this affordable canvas bag seems to fit the bill nicely (it also comes in brown). If the weather is really crisp, a pair of tights would be cute and if the meeting calls for a higher level of formality then I'd recommend switching out the comfy flats for a pair of Mary Jane's such as these ($26.99).

I hope your presentation goes really well Diana!  xo Ez

In Good Company: Pony Rider

I came across the Australia-based company Pony Rider for the first time the other day and I am in love with their aesthetic and the vintage-esque appeal of their goods. A personal favorite of mine is the cheeky "Hello Lover" pennant flag. So cute for a bedroom wall! Check out all their fabulous offerings in their shop, and view their official site for more images and info about the Pony Rider company. Enjoy! xo Ez
