One cool thing

Looking for a way to spice up my black wool coat and saw this:



Felt poppy by Vaivanat via Etsy.
Love the charming handmade pop of color that $16 can buy.

Project Runway: Season 5 Finale

The final designs of Leanne and Korto were so freaking awesomely creative yet wearable yet fantastic yet now yet styling yet marvy that I cannot believe the judges could pick just one of the designers as the winner.  Here are my favorites from my 2 favorites...

Leanne:

Fashion Friday: Resort 2009

2008 was so five minutes ago! Already loving what 2009 has in store.

Side note: Don't you love the idea of Resort collections? The thought brings to mind decadent trips to beautiful beaches or cross-Atlantic cruises where your greatest worry is which cocktail to order. I'll have a mojito, please.

These three designers really hit the mark:


Designs by Carolina Herrera


Designs by Elie Tahari


Designs by Monique Lhuillier

Fashion Friday: Picks for the Heat

The temperature recently has really shot up to my comfort range of mid-80's! As a desert girl transplanted to kinda-chilly No. Cal., I'm excited to pull out my summer dresses usually saved for trips to Texas!

Dresses from JCrew and Old Navy


Solid and Pattern Frocks from Banana Republic

I'm totally in awe of the saturated sorbet colors of Michael Kors Spring 2008 collection.
Dream with me, people:

This weekend, I think the vintage trucks take the cake
