what i wore : Rain Coat in Cherry Blossoms

Posted on Leave a Comment

For a long time I have wanted to better document my wardrobe, style, and day to day outfits. I love seeing others’ style on blogs and find what we choose to wear can add fun, flavor, and well style to our lives. I also hope this exercise will encourage me to dress up and play with my wardrobe a bit more. I find being so busy sometimes I gravitate to comfy and easy and put my creativity into styling outfits for editorials and conceptualizing fashion features for Auxiliary. That creativity doesn’t always make it to my personal outfits and style. Hopefully this will help me take my outfits up a notch more often than not!

After a date night with my boyfriend we randomly stopped at the Japanese Gardens, right before the rain. to see the cherry blossoms in bloom. I took some photos of the blossoms and this is what I wore.

This fashion accessory editorial was shot for and published in the October/November 2013 Issue of Auxiliary Magazine. It was fun just focusing on shoes and accessories, the makeup and hair time was cut out, and it was just loads of shoes from T.U.K. Shoes, Hades Footwear, and Fluevog plus some awesome leggings from Carousel Ink. It was hard giving these pulls back!

Last year I worked with retro inspired clothing boutique Cats Like Us to shoot this series of photographs for new advertisements and promo materials. Cats Like Us has a brick and mortar shop in Tonawanda, New York a suburb of Buffalo and a successful website shop.

Must for Auxiliary Magazine

Must for Auxiliary Magazine

Over the last couple years I have shot a few of the one page closer feature titled Must for Auxiliary Magazine. I have kept the same goal in mind of creating a clean and direct shot to allow the featured fashion item to be the focus and in doing this they have become a nice little series. You can see this photo and how it pairs with the others in my “fashion 2” portfolio at jennifer-link.com. I also styled this look that features a faux fur coat by Bettie Page Clothing. For the styling I drew from Fall 2012 runway trends. I specifically looked at Gucci’s Fall 2012 Ready-to-Wear runway show in Milan for fashion forward details to place around the coat: brocade trousers, round sunglasses, and dark lipstick. I love the dialogue between high fashion designers and subculture fashion that has been happening for years and years, one influencing the another, round and around and back again.
