Something New and Something Blue

Alexander Wang's Resort collection is out....words can not describe my excitement! Pops of color and print this time around...I can't get over the leopard print and the blue.

If you aren't obsessed with my selection check out the entire collection. Trust me, you will fall in love: Alexander Wang Resort Collection 2012

Take A Hit

Opened my mailbox today to a lovely surprise: the latest J Crew catalog. I happen to be one of those people that loves catalogs. I know its a little old fashioned, but I am a bit of a print enthusiast.
J Crew always has beautiful images and this season's marketing for their coats that come in wonderful pop colors really stand out.

Brightly colored coats are everywhere this season from the inspiration that came from the fall runway shows. J Crew offers several great silhouettes to classic coat options in a wide variety of pop colors this fall. Not to mention J Crew's coats are at some great price points. Check out these other brightly colored coats that I am obsessed with (yes, they are slightly less affordable).

Celine - I used to have a picture of this coat up at my desk at work. I love everything about it. Never has orange looked so chic. Then again Celine can do no wrong.

Rag and Bone - I have repeatedly posted about this coat. The wool motto jacket has a little bit of edge to it and I love the playfulness of the bright color

The Row - Sleek and chic defines the row and while the brand usually doesn't do bright colors I love this bold yellow coat

She's A Lady

I have a soft spot for Miu Miu. I love their feminine looks, even though usually that is not something I am particularly drawn too. They consistently turn out strong collections and I love the prints they use every time. As you might know already, I also enjoy their ads and spokesperson selection quite a bit. While I am fantasy shopping here are some Miu Miu goods I would enjoy.

 This dress is so lady like I just adore it. Sophisticated, but still feels young and retro.

 I am not one for glitter usually or pink. However, I have seen these shoes in numerious editorials and I can not stop staring at them. Gorgeous to the extreme. Even with out the flash I am obsessed with the curved heel.

 Okay, who really needs this iPhone case like this? I kind of just love how decadent it is and the great pop colors it comes in. Why not?

 Chic and timeless. Love the light color. The bag has an element of utility and gracefulness.

 

Basic pumps but I love the pop of color and the sude that looks heavenly. 

 This dress is just plain cute and looks like you could wear it every day.

Miu Miu has some of the best prints every season. Love the simple silhouette and the sweet print.

Ticket to Paris, Please

Traveling internationally has always been on my list of things I want to do more of. I haven't actually gone to that many other countries, but I want to go to so many! This has escalated to a bit of an obsessive level lately and I am determined to go to Paris next year possibly. Not sure if this will be financially possible, but my heart it set on it.

 

Hoping I can go to the city of fashion, romance, lights...I love you NYC, but I need a dream vacation. Plus I am a quarter French, so doesn't that earn me some right of passage to go?

That Girl

Here is your daily dose of Kiki!

Kirsten Dunst on the cover of Wonderland September/October issue. Love her and love the leather she is sporting.

Does It Come In Leather?

Leather has been everywhere lately! Not just for accessories and jackets either. I have already mentioned my desire to get some leather shorts (or faux leather, doesn't matter to me), but now I am adding to that list. I want a leather dress, skirt....

Check out these head to toe leather looks:

Vince Sleeveless Leather Dress

Derek Lam Long Sleeve Dress with Jersey Bodice

Elizabeth Banks  in a J. Mendel leather dress and Blake Lively in a Gucci leather dress

Emma Stone in Emilio Pucci Leather Dress

 Rodarte for Opening Ceremondy Leather T-Shirt

MAJE Jalouse leather mini skirt

 Love the basic silhouttes that are just a little bit edgy in leather. Would you wear head to toe leather? I would!

A Little Bit Longer

Rihanna was spotted wearing a Helmut Lang maxi skirt and I've became a little obsessed it ever since.

I actually saw a girl on the street wearing it too and it looks even better in person. Maxi skirts have been a trend for a while now, but what is unique about this one is the high slit on the side and the draping. It is by Helmut Lang after all, so you know the draping was going to be amazing.

Between the Lines

I occasionally hint at or mention my obsession with stripes. Ok, I may mention it more than occasionally. Stripes are a classic print that I adore on dresses, skirts, shorts, pants, t-shirts...well anything. If you don't have something striped in your closet you need to work on that right now. I can't have enough!

Share with...le minor® dip-dyed tee: these hand dyed tees are an awesome take on a traditional french sailor tee. I love the aged look and the unique color combinations. Since they are dip dyed each of the shirts has a unique look

 I am always on the look out for a striped pencil skirt and I am loving this one by Chinti and Parker

T by Alexander Wang striped drape long sleeve dress: enough said

Striped Tailor Top: I want this in a million colors (starting with black, blue, and red stripes as my first 3 options)

The Row: Resort 2012 Collection - inspiration 

Jil Sander: 2011 Spring RTW Collection - I loved this collection, like most fashion enthusiasts. Seems like this collection had an editorial in every fashion magazine this spring

Getting the A

Finally! Alexander Wang had a sample sale today and after waiting in line for 2 hours I finally got in and bought some goodies. If you have read this blog you know that I am rather obsessed with Alexander Wang. Downside to the sale was that there were no shoes or handbags. Still they had a lot of options and the prices were pretty decent. I ended up only purchasing T by Alexander Wang pieces and nothing from the RTW lines. I got several great pieces that I am very excited about though.

 Here are my purchases:

 side zipper skirt - I got it in black

 cropped sweater - I got this in black too

 classic white racer back tank - I have wanted one of these forever! 

black racer back tank - no pocket slightly different style than the white

cream knit sweater

These will be perfect for the fall. I am so excited about these purchases...now I have some Alexander Wang in my closet, so pleasing.

C Is For....

It's here! The new Chloe Fall Ad Campaign:

I am not the biggest fan of snake print, but when it comes to Chloe I kind of love everything they do.
