Caitlin - Fillmore Street, SF


"I would say my style is inspired by fall, friends, my husband's thrift store finds, simple sophistication, mixing vintage, inexpensive pieces with girly investment pieces."

I love her layers of lace, and functional cotton, everything a little rumpled and sexy. If I could learn how to dress this way consistently, I totally would.


I'm coveting these patent leather ankle boots.

Cameron - Fillmore Street, SF


"And what inspires my style is... I guess, London Street Fashion."

Great hair, great glasses, great boots and clothes that fit perfectly, what more could one ask for?


A look at his great boots and how he wears his jeans so they look almost rosette-esque.

Kimberly - Fillmore Street, SF


"Just comfort, it was a nice day. Just a dress with boots."

Sometimes a well-fitting shirt dress with boots is all you need.

Sabrina - Fillmore Street, SF


You may remember Sabrina from earlier this year.

I love how on both these occasions Sabrina wears vibrant jewels tones and clothes without patterns. She has a definite style and it shows through.

Sarah - Fillmore Street, SF


"Well I'm really into Japanese Rock called Visual K or J-Rock, so I mix that along with the style called Gothic Lolita or just regular Lolita. I also mix some of myself into it and just have so much fun with my outfits every day, so I guess - just having fun is my inspiration."

I was excited to catch Sarah walking down Fillmore the other day. It's been awhile since I've seen a Gothic Lolita in San Francisco. The effort she took in planning her outfit and getting dressed in the morning is something to be admired.

Shin - Fillmore Street, SF


"Actually, I really don't care (how I dress)."

I really like her tunic it reminds me of this tunic and a little bit of the aesthetic of Tsumori Chisato, a designer whom I'm quite enamored of.


Suede toe-caps on her ballet flats.

Jen - Fillmore Street, SF


"Just English schoolboy outfits."

I like his plum colored shirt and short scarf with spots of plum color. It matches in an unexpected way.


A look at his bowling inspired shoes.

Jes - Fillmore Street, SF


"Being comfortable."

I like her coat and how she straddles the fine line between disheveled and stylish (though she definitely lands in stylish).

Devin - Fillmore Street, SF


"I like to pick matching jackets and pants. And I usually shop at thrift stores."

I like the proportions of his jacket and pants on his frame and how the fit of his clothes are on this side of tousled, right near neat.


A look at his workman shoes.

Johnny - Fillmore Street, SF


"I just love to wear clothes and every time I look at magazines, it inspires me."

Look at the texture and pattern combo of his jacket, vest and scarf.


I like sparkle and interesting personal details.


A look at his shoes.


After I took his photo, Johnny awesomely presented me with a drawing he did earlier.

Kelly - Fillmore Street, SF


"Something I can wear to work that is also San Francisco cool."

I like her plaid coat wore with her wide-legged pinstriped brown trousers.


Her stylish tote.

Sheena - Fillmore Street, SF


"I'm really inspired by '60s, '70s and mixing it up with things that I see around the city and other people's style. I try to make it my own."

I love her pale yellow trench and how she accessorizes with the scarf, the brooch and her earrings. Sheena looks great head to toe, I've taken a photo of her before, during fashionist's nascent period.

Karin - Fillmore Street, SF (William Good Launch Party)


"It just depends on how I feel that day. I collect hand-tooled western handbags. I've been obsessed with vintage clothing since I was a kid."

Black and white and great accessories equals fashion gold.


A look at her genuine cowboy boots.

Erin - Fillmore Street, SF (William Good Launch Party)


"I like mixing vintage with comfortable. I also like patterns. I do (work for) William Good, so..."

I like her great late 60s/early 70s shift dress. Her boots and haircut modernize the dress.


Gorgeous Michelle Mason boots.


Thanks to Marisa Wellen at wonderbrand, I had the opportunity to attend the William Good launch at the Japantown Goodwill. Though, my hat tip goes to bits and bobbins and SF Indie Fashion on whose sites I first read about the venture.

I'm in the process of figuring out how to take clear, non-washed out indoor photos (at night!) with my Canon 20D's built-in flash, so I used the event to experiment. These photos were my most successful of the evening. (Success being: subjects look in focus and human colored.)

Jessica - Fillmore Street, SF


"I usually do thrifting, it's pretty much all cheaper. I play a lot with colors, which is pretty important to me, so I always have some color."

I like that Jessica has a grunge-equestrian feel to her outfit. I've also been noticing that flannel is beginning to crop up around SF.

Look at how she layers a myriad of necklaces to add that extra "something" to her outfit.


Jessica also wins the good sport of the day for putting up with my camera quirks. She was very kind and patient as I took photo after photo.

Leigh - Fillmore Street, SF


"Saving money."

I'm noticing a lot of women wearing vests around the city. I like how she wears it, only partially buttoned. Also, her asymmetrical haircut looks very now.


Lovely rounded turned-up-toe pump. I'd totally rock these.
