We come to this place…for magic.
So begins the time-honored AMC Nicole Kidman commercial and the unofficial tagline of EV Salon. And by magic, for the sake of this letter, I mean outfit inspiration. When I started planning this EV Salon with Fashionphile, I knew guests would show up in incredible outfits and was thrilled Kate Owen was there to photograph it all.
Black, White, and—Occasionally—A Pop of Red
I love wearing brands I feel connected to for Salon days. This time around, I opted for a Tory Burch polo dress, this Hill House headband (no headache), and these loafers. Perhaps most notably, I was in a Chanel bag from Fashionphile in a dreamy shade of red.
You can shop your own for $2k from the site.
Or shop this Chloe one for under $500 on eBay. I love it!
Shop all of Anna’s amazing curation over at Club Vintage, including this Isabel Marant dress ($210).
Everybody loves a chic strappy sandal. This pair is $425 from Saint Laurent.
Here’s a cute pair that’s a little more casual and $60.
The Croissant team looking cute! I love Julia’s graphic Chanel strap and this bag’s a good comp for under $500.
looking cute in a vest-y top. This one from SIR is so fun and under $200.I like this cotton one from Liz Sport. It’s $28 on eBay!
I love this crew! (Hi
and ). Here’s a chic bag similar to Shannon’s—it’s Bottega.Florals.com
I refuse to make a Devil Wears Prada joke here. The reality is florals are almost always a great option for an event. I loved seeing mini florals and preppy florals and even an ironic floral or two.
What if you wore a vintage floral dress with a built-in cape? This one’s $45.
This is a vintage Liberty cotton floral dress! For $75.
Or go for this really cute Dôen number. It’s $250.
And then I’d finish off the look with these Cartier hoops.
Pattern Play
What about patterns beyond plain old stripes or florals? Leave it to EV Salon attendees to send me straight to eBay.
I loved how Ashley styled her vintage Chanel. This one is $2,700 and def on my dream list.
I love this 100% silk button down from The Limited for $25.
So simple. So cute! Here’s a dress inspired by Grace’s. ($225)
Olympics-core
Nothing makes me happier than a sporty style moment. Maybe all the Simone Biles talk influenced some of these outfits?
Lauren! This look! So much to love. Here’s a bag in a similar shade for around $1k.
A baseball hat is always the right move. This one from the Odeon is my fav and $35.
Frilly In The Best Way
Details are everything and I love the little ways these looks feel elevated and special.
has a special way of making everything feel wearable. The color of this dress was so insane IRL. This Staud dress from TRR ($225) seems just as cool.People aren’t wearing enough embroidered silk shirts! Why not get Edwardian with it? ($48)
I love the idea of this with jeans. It’s a silk blend and under $20.
White Dresses
In the summer, a white dress is always my response when I don’t know what to wear and can’t stand being in the heat for one more minute. It’s polished, cool, and as evidenced below, photographs well.
This one reads a little cream but it’s only $120 on sale. Love!
This vintage dress is SO special and $145 on Etsy.
VERY importantly, this Donni dress has a built-in shelf bra.
You can twin with Ella! This is $25 on eBay and could easily be tailored.
