CANVASSTYLE CRUSH | SUNDRY CLOTHING

I have long been a fan of Sundry Clothing.  The laid back California brand captured my heart with not only their clothes, but their sense of design in general. I swooned at their website. I blogged about them here.  Oh, and here too.  I shop them.  And I love their new website! Just launched, check it out.

Here is a quick shopping list of things I have my eye on:

anchor tee  |  stars tank  |  sleeveless maxi dress  |  jersey stripes tee  |  palm tree tank

As well as the Sundry website you can find more Sundry on Shopbop - my go to stop for laid back summer styles.

I am seriously thinking of begging Sundry to make this white dress again. I have worn it to shreds and long for a replacement. Really really longing a lot. Sundry? Please? 

VARIOUS AND SUNDRY

I have had a slight obsession with the Sundry clothing since I blogged about them last summer.  I adore, love, covet their pieces. I have one summer staple that is about to shred... a little white dress skirt coverup that I reach for before all other beachy items...sadly I can't find it in this summer's collection. So I treat it nicely, wash it gently and hope to get through this summer with it.

I love the look and feel of this brand, the sunny carefree attitude of the styles. Companies like this inspire me to create a pure, unfiltered presentation of our 'Canvas' brand. The blog and the store all have the same philosophy. Keep it simple, be true to yourself and your style.  If you start with a simple canvas, you can create a life of style. Sundry pieces work into that equation for me. 

Here are some of my favorite Sundry pieces:

L to R:  palm trees tank  // jumper  // striped tank  // sunset tank

L to R:  heart tank  //  La Vie tee  // hibiscus tee  //  Embroidery shirt

Happy, casual, carefree. Works for me.

totally random Tuesday

I come across many things that inspire, excite or intrigue me. It usually happens over the weekend when I look at magazines, reflect on things in the store I may have photographed the week prior, or come across a great sale. So I'm trying a new approach to putting all of this randomness together in a new series called 

Totally Random Tuesday

I approach creating the blog as an editor.  Bringing together bits and pieces so you don't have to hunt it all down. Hopefully this series will enhance my editorial approach and give you a quick snapshot of a wider variety of totally random things. I will get my collage making fix and hopefully you will get some fresh ideas, inspiration or resources.

Randomness: (clockwise from top left)

1. loving the new issue of est magazine as mentioned yesterday
2. this 'Etoile' mirrored star from canvas interiors  is an easy way to add a little sparkle to a room
3. really embracing the track pant trend this fall and these are just about perfect
4. glamping is the way to go
5. still can't get enough of Sundry so had to include a pretty picture because i liked it in the collage

Love letter to Sundry clothing

Ok I don't even know what to say here except this brand makes me speechless.

My kids are screaming, bedtime is near, everyone is tired.  I sit down at my computer with my shoulders up around my ears and just hope for 5 minutes of peace. I go to the Sundry site to see what they have designed for fall.

My heart rate has slowed, my shoulders are back where they should be and I feel peaceful (also might have something to do with the glass of wine sitting next to my computer).

I simply love this brand.  To evoke such an emotional response from imagery and exceptional design is not often done.  Dear Sundry, I love you.

I write about what I love, I have no major editorial 'plan'. 

Mine is truly is a blog of instant thought and emotion.

Sundry gets me every time.

slightly obsessed: Sundry clothing

Today its a trip to So. Cal to Sundry clothing.  The minute I saw this dress/skirt in Mary Firestone's (of the Firestone Sister's blog which you must check out) facebook feed I had to see more from this brand.  

available at hip'tique in LA

I am in a very easy breezy mood when it comes to my clothing right now. Perhaps a skinny jean rebellion? I want loose soft beachy things in my closet. Sundry fits the bill. Understated and incredibly cool, I can't decide what I like more - the site design or the clothes.

Sundry captures the free spirited casualness of Southern California. And for those of you who have read the blog for a while you know that I lived in So. and Nor Cal for 20 years and it informs my style. To top it off,  the site design completely appeals to my sensibilities. 

Which might explain my Friday images... 

doesn't this look like it should be a 'simple pleasures' Friday image?  

I love the use of Pantone colors and collage. This site doesn't feel like the ordinary. And the clothes are, as creator Matt Leblan says, 'staples'.  Sounds like my 'staple style' mantra... can you see how this is a match made in heaven?

The visuals are perfection. I love how the collections are organized and I absolutely LOVE the clothes.

So I did a little shopping for you - yes I did. And perhaps a little for me too.
