Currently Loving: Calla Spring + Summer 2010

I love the subtle tones and the soft bubble shapes of Calla Haynes's debut label, Calla. The Paris based designer was a former model and studied at Parsons, her debut collection first showed at Paris Fashion Week. Calla is such a sweet and elegant line and I am finding much inspiration for my Spring/Summer wardrobe.

Adoring Viviane Westwood's "RED" Spring collection

Most of the clothes had a 40s inspired silhouette, which is probably why it caught my eye. While the entire collection wasn't my particular cup of tea, these four looks I really adore! Pastels, florals, polka dots... what's not to love?

The first look reminds me of Little Bo Peep, maybe because I thought the umbrella was a cane at first?

Dreamy frocks from Alberta Ferretti Spring 2010

Love these Alberta Ferretti soft and angelic dresses from the spring 2010 RTW collection. The dresses look as if they should be worn by fairies or nymphs, don't you think?

Absolutely Loving the Orla Kiely Fall 09 Collection

The Autumn 2009 Orla Kiely collection definitely was a source of inspiration for the upcoming vintage clothes going up in the shop in the next couple of weeks.

Lots of browns, preppy plaids and stripes, peter pan collars, big buttons, and of course just a bit of floral prints here and there...





The style is very reminscent of late 60s early 70s. I love it! And I really must get a pair of these tights! (BTW if you are looking for cute tights, ModCloth.com has a bunch of seriously droolworthy choices!)

Currently Loving: Built By Wendy Fall 2009

I am so smitten by the Built By Wendy Fall collection. Also love the Fall LOOKBOOK pictures photographed by Annabel Mehran



The clothing evokes a bit of that 60s innocence, the raised waist dresses and sheaths paired with tights. I simply adore it!



The Rib Ballet Top is a wardrobe must have. I need to stock up on a few ballet inspired tops. I wish I had kept all my ballet leotards from when I was younger!

I Love Me Some Ruffles!

Perusing through the Runway pictures from Elle.com and wanted to share a few of my favorites. Most of these are from the Resort collections, so they're a bit more cheerful and softer (which I like).

I just noticed most of the outfits I really was drawn to were neutrals...huh? I'm usually a girl who loves her colors and bold prints.

I also noticed many of these had RUFFLES. I love ruffles. Not 80's cuckoo-crazy ruffles though. *shudders*

Currently Loving: Twinkle by Wenlan Resort 2010

My favorite looks from the Twinkle by Wenlan Resort 2010 Collection. Everything looks so comfortable (and pretty!)

Bird Watching Outfit

Because everyone wears high heels when they go bird watching! What? You mean to say youdon't?

I absolutely love this poppy print dress, I love bright pops of colors on my clothes, especially floral prints! I'm looking for a proper pair of caramel brown heels. These are a nice pair, they have a bit of that "edgy" look I see everywhere, but not too edgy as I'm not really an edgy kind of girl.

I like my floral prints, my bird inspired accessories, and soft feminine lines, thank you.
