8 Things

♥hello everyone!

As the usual barrage of catalogues comes in the mail, and I began my yearly drooling over spring fashion, the same things continue to fuel my excitement for the season to be here.


EIGHT: Sandals galore. They were hot, hot, hot last year and I'm glad that strappy sandals [flat or heeled] are still in! They such a relaxed touch to an ensemble.




SEVEN: Delicate florals. I'm usually not a fan of florals, as some designs can be very lurid and unflattering, but light delicate designs really catch my eye. They're so feminine and sophisticated.



SIX: Edgy. I'm all over leather[!], chunky heels, funky tights, graphic deisngs, and studs.




FIVE: Nautical. So happy that this trend is back to being all the rage - I had just started to get into it a couple of summers ago, and plan to pick up where I left off!





FOUR: Proenza Schouler. This designer [or should I say, designers] can do no wrong. I was re-viewing the SS09 collections and found it captivating. The jumpsuits are incredibly, and I love the sillhouettes, like the bulky shoulders of some of the jackets.



THREE: Playful skirts. Circle skirts, balloon skirts, pleated skirts - I love them, and they're in such bright colors and lovely designgs this season, too.



TWO: Scarves. They are my must-have accessory for spring, since LA has the perfect weather to wear these are the finishing touch to an outfit.





ONE: Color! I am in love with the Crayola trend this season - I’m really planning to branch out and experiment with more colors in my wardrobe. And contrasting colors? Love love love for accessories. I would just love to have a barrage of dresses in every color of the rainbow, like in the pictures above, but sadly, I don’t think it would be the most practical for my closet.

I'm already wanting a few things, like:
~Colorful skirts
~Long cardigan vests
~Nautical shorts
~High-waisted shorts
~Thin drapey silk scarf
~Graphic tees in fun, bright colors and unique designs [that come from various brands]

What are some of your current wants? I'm sure you have some already :)

As for my answer of the question of the moment [three brands that define your style]: Theory, Madewell, and Diesel. I tend to mishmash rocker and classic/proper and end up with a really effortless look. Not mention those basics with unique twists. :]
