Art Inspired Fashion by Jen of Jenloveskev: Rachel Ruysch

Hi Everyone, it’s Jen again! I am back for this month’s Art Inspired Fashion post. I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful fall season. This month I wanted to pick something that gave off a great fall vibe. I was particularly looking for a painting that had rich colors in it.  I fell in love with this floral painting by Rachel Ruysch.
 
 
It has so much depth and life in it. I especially love the pop of coral, peach and mustard colors in the flowers. Rachel Ruysch was a Dutch artist who specialized in still-life paintings of flowers in the 1700′s. 
 
 
When I saw this Coral Dress I knew it was the perfect match.
 
 
I paired it with this Olive Hurley jacket because I think it creates the perfect balance just like in the painting. Can you imagine painting with such detail? This painting is so beautiful!
 
Paintings can be such great inspiration to pull from when picking colors for an outfit. I am totally inspired! 
 
See you next month for the next Art Inspired Fashion post! Happy Halloween. 

Items Featured:
Hurley Sawyer Olive Green Corduroy Jacket

Hi every one! It’s Jen from Jenloveskev. I just got back from Austin, TX, with Lulus.com and we had a fabulous time at the Texas Style Council Conference. It was seriously one of the most fun weekends ever! I was honored to moderate at the Going Pro panel with LuLu*s and then speak on the panel about Authenticity. Here are a few photos from throughout the weekend.

Friday night I helped set up for the clothing swap, hosted by Swap.com and The Swapaholics!
 
Ready, set, swap. Stuff goes fast. It is super fun finding treasures. 
 
I got to hang out with the lovely Jennine from The Coveted and founder of IFB.
 
You can’t be in Texas without eating some BBQ. I am a vegetarian but enjoyed all the home cooked sides and salads. 
 
Saturday night there was a great party at Bo Concept. LuLu*s had some amazing prizes to give away, and there was a super fun photo booth. Here I am having a blast with Ms. Kendi Everyday.

Here I am speaking with James from Bleubird Vintage and Indiana from Adored Austin. I was so nervous!
 
Love these ladies and also love my Jeffrey Campbell’s from LuLu*s!
