10 - Misc.

Vintage, Vintage, Vintage

Check out the new vintage maxi skirt I got! I'm going to admit, its the first time I bought a vintage piece off of eBay, and in all truth, I bid for this skirt half hoping I wasn't going to win. It was an impulse click! and after I did win, I was worried I wasn't going to like it.

But....

The skirt was a success when I wore it on Easter, although it was just family, the compliments kept coming! I am definatly not regretting my purchase, especially now that I have a couple different ideas on what to pair it with. The outfit in these pics is so cute.

9 - New Technology in Fashion

I know that people all over the world have heard or seen the Ralph Lauren 4D Experience already, but I am so completely impressed by what they did here, and I still have yet to see anything like it. This was the first thing that came into my mind when trying to think of new technology used in fashion presentations. I wanted to share this with you guys, to point out how amazing this was, and the possibilities of the future!

8- Lookbooks

All Saints

I absolutely love All Saints style and their designs are to die for. I always love to look at their look books to see what their newest trends are. Although I'll admit that I have to save an arm and a leg to buy any of the items i want, I think that for how expensive of a company they are, their look books are a little too "simple." I would really like to see them get more into the photography and incorporate what their themes for each season are about, rather than just showcasing the designs on models. What do you guys think?

7 - Trunk Shows

Rebecca Minkoff Trunk Show

Beginning when I worked at Saks Fifth, I fell in love with Rebecca Minkoff's handbags, considering I got to play with them ALL summer long working in the handbag department. Her look is very chic and sort of "downtown" ish, which makes her appealing as a contemporary designer. Her newest line, shown in the trunk show for Spring 2011 are amazing, and makes me admire her styles even more. Who wants to hire me so I can have the income to buy ALL of it?!? =D

6- Video Post

Free People is one of my favorite fashion retailers. I love everything about their look and how they display that look to their customers. Its so "Free" and down to earth, which is exactly up my alley.

5- Color Trend for Spring 2011

I have always been a sucker for neutrals, but after checking out some color trends on forecasting websites, I am EXTREMELY excited that they are making a big appearance this spring. According to Stylesight, skintones and earthy shades are in for the season and creating a warm and comforting palette that i know i will be obsessed with. What do you guys think?

4 - Color on the Streets

Black and Grays, Rainy Days

Despite the warmth that today had in store, the weather was certainly not letting us enjoy a minute of it. The only thing that makes a Monday even worse, is rain (or snow). I took an interest into what people choose to wear on these gloomy days, and like you would expect, there was tons of black. I find it interesting to look at what makes people dress the way they do. Some dress for the weather, some dress for the way they feel that day, others dress to impress, some dress for comfort, and some dress to express.

Here are some of the black rainy day styles I caught!
