I Wish I Wish I Wish

I'm on a serious shoe kick, and this pair has moved to the top of my list. They are by Topshop, and are unfortunately $170. Not bad, but I am currently on the starving student budget and with the recent Hunter rainboot purchase(I couldn't resist...but sadly I don't mean the Jimmy Choo & Hunter rainboot), these boots are going to have to wait. But can't you just see how cute they would be with skinnies, a white tank and a cropped vest? Or with a casual blouse....oh the possibilities.....

And then they made rain boots...

I never thought I would be excited for April showers, but these Jimmy Choo and Hunter rainboots are too delicious to not do a daily rain dance. I fell in love the second I turned to the last page in Vogue and saw these beauties. They are shown in Vogue in brown, which I like better than the black, but I would be equally happy if I had either pair. However, at $395 a pair, I'm guessing I won't be one of the super chic jumping puddles in Jimmy Choos...sigh. Someone tell me I'm not the only one swooning.

Light Reading for Today

Thanks to a fellow blogger's post about her, I found Robin Givhan's Off the Runway and proceeded to read post after post for about forty five minutes, when I unglued myself from her blog only to start blogging about her. Its so refreshing to find a fashion writer who isn't afraid to call it like it is. She gives fair criticisms, and witty ones at that. If a designer sends a piece of crap down the runway, she calls it a piece of crap, not "edgy" or "unique." Not only that, but her compliments are pretty spot on, she's not going to call something beautiful just because its from a known designer. If you haven't yet read anything of Givhan's, go to her site immediately and be prepared to be entertained through all her posts, and for some reason I seem to be happier after reading her column than I was before. Bizarre, but just goes to show that her blog is pretty inspiring.

Camilla Belle

Camilla Belle is one of the most well dressed celebrities out there right now, and I am in love with her latest outfit! Her big bold bag is my favorite in this outfit, yet her headband is a close second. And with big sunglasses, skinnies and a simple white T with a casual black long vest...ADORABLE! I am looking for a big, bright bag for this spring and summer, preferably the one Camilla has...but that's probably out of the question.

SPRING OBSESSION

Ok, after waiting for quite some time to declare my favorite spring collection, I finally found it. Thanks to a fellow blogger's pics of Luella's designs, I pulled up the entire 2009 RTW show and fell in love with every single piece. EVERY. SINGLE. PIECE. Luella's spring 2009 Ready to Wear line is absolutely charming. It somehow reminds me of Alice in Wonderland meets tea time meets spring meets fabulous, which has clearly shown to be the magic combination. There are adorable one shoulder dresses that are colorful and PERFECT for spring, and the rendition of the LBD for spring literally has me drooling. My favorite look was the look centered in the picture. From the bright pink hat with the veil to the bright colors contrasted with the simple black pants, down to the pink shoes, I found this look to be the standout of the collection. PERFECT. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.
