Sneak Peek: Fall 2011 SWELL Catalog!

A peek into what you’ll find in your mailbox in a few days…
picture-1

Our Fall catalog should be hitting your homes any day now. I know it’s still hot and muggy,
but seeing all these light weight sweaters and fringe boots makes me want to layer up. Our stylist and models went gaga over the product at the shoot, but I’ve narrowed it down to my top favorite trends for the season:

1. Cropped sweaters – So cute over your favorite summer maxi dress or paired with high waist jeans.

2. Flared jeans – nostalgic 70′s inspired (or in my case,  reminds me of the movie Dazed and Confused)

3. Colors of the season: Orange and Russets. Although I live in Southern California, where it’s pretty much 75 degrees year round, these deep rich hues remind of maple leaves turning color in autumn.
So to all of you girls who are in denial that summer is going to have to end, you can at least look forward to sporting some of the great fashion for the Fall season.

Now go check your mailbox for the Fall catalog!

New at SWELL: Minnetonka

Swell has finally launched Minnetonka, and I am in love with this awesome shoe brand. Authentic suede boots and moccasins are essential to any
boho-fashionista’s wardrobe. They pair great with MinkPink Slasher Denim shorts, Billabong Brooklyn leggings, or Angie One Shoulder Drop Tunic Dress. Plus, Minnetonkas can run through the woods without making a sound. How cool is that?!
Check out our favorite model and style icon Kate Moss rocking the Minnetonka Front Lace Hardsole Knee Hi Boot.

These shoes really makes your outfit feel so effortless and cool! How would you rock the moc?

Behind the Scenes Pics from the SWELL Fall Catalog Shoot

We just wrapped up shooting our Fall catalog at Casper’s Park in San Juan Capistrano. The images are beautifully shot with an ethereal feel that captures the essence of Fall. This has to be the best I’ve ever
seen the Fall product look. Some of the trends we are highlighting for Fall: light weight poncho sweaters, gauzy flowing dresses, and flared distressed denim.
Even though we haven’t quite reached Summer in Southern California yet (thanks to the June gloom), I am ready to
trade in my cropped tanks and denim shorts for a kimono style cardigan and a pair of Frye boots.

I’ve snuck some candid picture I took at the shoot of our team styling the models (and some Fall product sneak peeks!). You’re the first to see it!

LOVE IT OR HATE IT???

There are so many trends out there girls love that may raise an eyebrow of confusion for guys. We may get compliments from other stylish chicks, or metro guys on how we have such cool style. Personally I find it most flattering when a girl with awesome style or my hairdresser Eduardo notices my new bag, or nude color wedges.

But I wanted to see what a typical guy thinks about some of these “iffy” trends out there. So here it is, my completely unscientific survey of the loves and hates from the other gender. Quite fascinating, but the guys at Swell were quite in tune with all these trends and had some strong emotional reactions to them.

1. Oversized button up shirts: LOVE IT
2. Boyfriend Jeans: LOVE IT
3. High Waisted denim: LOATHE IT
4. Maxi dresses: LOVE IT, BUT PREFER SHORT SKIRTS
5. One piece swim suit: LOVE IT, BUT PREFER 2 PIECE
6. Top bun hair style: EHH, INDIFFERENT
7. Combat boots: SCARED OF IT
