Lyn Devon- Spring 11

Yesterday I shared Pantone's color report for Spring-- funky, fresh and playful complementary colors. Now  check out the collection Lyn Devon showed for Fashion Week.

A perfect combination of light-heartedness and sophistication. And you gotta love the oxfords...!

Style Notebook- Lace Love

Once reserved for only the most private of places when it came to apparel, lace has been finding its way into the the open--and with increasing strength lately. And now it's showing up on shoes--

Would you wear a lacy pair (of pumps that is...)?

Style Notebook- Jellies!

Are you ready for a blast from the past? Remember Jelly Sandals? They used to look something like this:

I would beg and BEG my mother to let me wear them, even though they gave me horrible blisters {my obsession with shoes started early...} Now Jellies are getting a seriously grown-up make over- and the 6 year old in me is squealing with joy {gimme gimme gimme!}

What do you think of the plastic shoe trend?

less than a week....

My best friend, Meghan, is getting married-- ON SUNDAY. And I finally have my bridesmaid ensemble completed. Well- almost. I JUST found the shoes (yesterday, yikes) and they haven't arrived yet. But (knock-on-wood) they are perfect.

I think magical is the only word to describe it.

I think I'll live in it this summer. :) 

Style Notebook-shopping!

I'm still working away on the See by Chloe challenge. Check out the cute pieces at Forever 21 right now:

 Some pretty good options I'd say.... what do you think? (check out the challenge here>)

Style Notebook-the challenge

For some reason I love to "re-define" my style every spring. I think it is just a fancy excuse to go shopping.  This year, however, I do not have much room in my budget for the re-definition project. SO the goal is to find inspirations from designer collection and then find look-a-like pieces for cheap.
Today's challenge? See by Chloe Summer 10 

I really love this whole collection, it is the perfect mix of polish and casual ease--just what I need in my life.
 Stay tunned for my budget friendly interpretation... :)
