Jamie - South Van Ness Avenue, SF

jamie18

Jamie wears perfectly washed out hues and a pale yellow looped scarf. See how the blue of her crisp cotton dress is almost exactly the color of the sky.

Lauren - South Van Ness Avenue, SF

laurenlas"Just life in San Francisco."

I like her big locket and her relaxed long sweater over dress proportion.

Karanina - South Van Ness Avenue, SF

"Thrift stores and consumerism."

I like the shot of yellow in visual contrast to her mostly black and white ensemble. And I think it's the striped shirt, but there is something very Tatou's version of Coco Chanel about her (see below).

Cute black flats that takes a nod towards crocodile leather.

Jillian - South Van Ness Avenue, SF

jillian
"Vintage chic."

There is an element of day glamor to Ms. Jillian that I dig. Like she's a real life version of Tom Ford's Gucci when he took Gucci and added a sheen of sexy to every outfit. Yes! Jillian is what the 80s inspired to be, but never got quite right; she knows how to put it all together.

Heeled loafers, snaps(?)/grommets(?) on her jeans (that match the ones on her wrist) and a small vintage handbag.

Warren and Meryl - South Van Ness Avenue, SF

Warren: "Clothes my girlfriend buys for me or clothes that I find."
Meryl: "Unique pieces. I like to rummage and find something interesting. If it's bordering on hideous I might be very interested. I like finding quality items that I can't afford, that are available to me via thrift stores or something. Or I just like something unique or strange."

I love the contrast of couples' or friends dressing. Also, how great is Meryl's blouse? [Answer: So great, it's awesome.] Other cool eye catchers include Meryl's glasses, Warren's pin and Vans.

Vans and boots.

Meg - South Van Ness Avenue, SF

meg
"I like juxtaposing really soft feminine pieces with more masculine edgier pieces. And I like putting young and old pieces together. Like this cameo is my Grandmother's, it's over a hundred years old and I got this sweater last week."

I like how Meg puts together an outfit that is mostly modern, yet looks good on her, still has personal touches and fits well. An outfit that fits well might be the most important thing ever.

Janna - South Van Ness Avenue, SF

jannastark
"Anything that goes with FamOlares (shoes)."

Janna Stark is a fashion designer and stylist that is currently based in LA, but in SF for the summer (lucky us!). Beyond her cute haircut and her way with accessorizing (check out her "Janna" necklace, her shoes and that wonderful handbag); Janna is percolating projects. She's bound to make this SF summer less dreary.

Maria - South Van Ness Avenue, SF

"Really? You think I'm dressed well?"

Yes, Maria, I do. I love the extra element of zing with her sparkly green sweater under her black, gray, and white suit. Also, check out the feathers on her wool hat. This was in the middle of a Saturday afternoon, making me suspect Maria is a 24/7 snazzy dresser.
