spring cleaning.

it's not quite the spring weather i'd like to be having...but at least the sun has been shining this weekend! i have been getting a head start on "spring cleaning" which includes finally sorting through those old college boxes from way back when, and the more daunting task of organizing my closet...yikes. it's all worth it though since i will be setting up camp in the city for the next two months! more on that packing process to come.....

thursday styles.

my earlier post on alexander wang's new flagship could have counted as my thursday styles section, but i felt like that was cheating since it's mainly about the interior design...plus these looks from michael kors' spring 2011 collection have me swooning...

michael's collections epitomize that classic american-chic look down to the last drop. his clothes will always stand the test of time which, to me, is the mark of a true genius designer. i'm excited to check out his fall/winter 2011 collection, it is sure to dazzle!

thursday styles.

inspired (most) every week by the new york times section, and in honor of the opening day of NYC's spring fashion week, im creating my own thursday styles section right here on my blog!

i was lucky enough to kick of fashion week by attending a fabulous presentation of the new menswear line roark. the clothes (and the crowd) were pretty rugged/hipster cool, it was a very low key yet innovative presentation. it made me miss being in the fashion world at BPCM and InStyle, it's so creative and fun at times...but then i remember the craziness that ensues and my head starts to spin a little...nonetheless my love for fashion is, like in any great relationship, un-conditional. so without further ado, here are a few looks from the spring 2011 collections (showed at fall 2010 fashion week) that i would LOVE to be prancing around in this coming season...

brights. are. back.

proenza schouler

lanvin

christopher kane

the always chic neutral.

calvin klein (minimal/played down)

prabal gurung (flirty/dressed-up)

the show-stopper.

lanvin

this is my most favorite look, it makes me feel like jetting off to barcelona and doing flamenco in the streets!

*note the closed necklines and the one shoulder silhouettes....we saw lots of this at the golden globes too and i'm sure we'll be seeing more as the spring issues hit the stands.

*one more fashion news tidbit since i am an avid follower of her/her style, amanda brooks has been named the new fashion director of barney's, congrats to her! she has such a great eye for fashion i think, i'm excited to see what she does for the infamous brand at her new post!
