Navy for spring?

I'm loving these looks from Totokaelo -- I've been so fixated with bright spring colors lately that I was caught off guard with how much I loved these navy outfits. It's like an updated nautical look without going too far.

Nadinoo: S/S 2010

I decided to pop back in a give you a little color for your weekend. Winter doesn't seem like it's going to end here on the east coast -- gray sky for days....so I was delighted to see a peak at Nadinoo's spring/summer collection full of yummy prints and lovely colors.

Orla Kiely: Spring/Summer

I love this little film displaying the Orla Kiely S/S 2010 collection -- note to self, must wear white socks with oxfords. Well, as soon as the weather warms up.

Marimekko

I'm taking a fashion branding course and was recently assigned Marimekko as the topic for a project -- I was definitely familiar with the array of textile design from the company but had never really explored the clothing design. After searching the Marimekko website, I was in love with the clean and simplistic lines of the garments. The two dresses below really stood out to me, I loved their character despite the lack of color.

Volunteering at Juan Carlos Obando

I survived. On Sunday I was an intern at the Juan Carlos Obando show for the front-of-house (aka) place the seating cards, hand out gifts, etc... Though I don't necessarily see myself heading down the road of high fashion as a designer, it was was definitely an exciting experience. Two-minutes before show time I was pulled to the front row to sit in an empty seat, so I whipped out my iPhone and enjoyed the upclose and personal view...brushing elbows with the magazine elite. Yeah, right!

Style Inspiration: Ellenitza

The lovely Ellenizta does an amazing job of mixing patterns and textures in her clothing. I dig her sense of style.

Thigh High

I'm intrigued by thigh-high tights -- I even own a pair, but haven't yet gotten up the courage to wear them. Styled here from Sublet Clothing, they look cute and carefree.

NYFW

It's fashion week here in NY -- and thanks to modern technology, a few shows are being streamed live. I watched Ports 1961 this afternoon, below are two of my favorite looks. Hello, pink tights and look at the print on that dress! I definitely don't have anywhere fancy enough to wear anything like that, but it's fun to look at :)

I'm helping with my first show on Sunday -- wish me luck!

I'm always too slow...but...

..I'd love to snag something from these two shops when they have updates. For some reason, I'm either too slow when I click or I remember the shop update a few hours too late.
