My mind is allllllll over the place right now. This coming week is the last week of classes, followed by finals, followed by graduation! Craziness! So I may be a bit lax with the posting for a while until things calm down, but I'll try to squeeze in time to write because there are some really cool designers I want to tell you all about! Hope you all have a great week!

Currently Craving: Colors!

Silence & Noise Fleece Moto Jacket
Emma Cook for Topshop Boots
Marc by Marc Jacobs Floating Lotus Print Dress
Free People Striped Romper

Look ma, no black (or grey)! Everything I'm craving this week is in color! Well, if we can count white as a color... The Emma Cook boots had to be included though, because my obsession was renewed when I saw a picture of them in Nitrolicious's review of the Topshop opening in NYC (they're in the 5th picture down). Evidently they're all gone from the NYC store already, and presumably gone forever :( Oh well, I'll be stalking Ebay for these babies! How amazing would they look paired with that M by MJ flower-print dress? I've been fantasizing about wearing just that look all week! And I could throw on that blue Silence & Noise jacket if I get a little bit chilly... perfection! I'm not sure where the Free People romper fits in to this fantasy, I just really liked it!

UO Studded Sunnies
Be&D Garbo Satchel
Haute Hippie Matte Silk Jumpsuit
3.1 Phillip Lim Fringed Boat Neck Tunic
We Who See Canvas Wrap Wedge

Here's a fairly random list of things I'm craving this week. I love the Haute Hippie jumpsuit because it is so basic that it would make a great foundation for a million different looks - definitely worth the price considering how many times it would be worn. The 3.1 Phillip Lim dress is just amazing, I wish I had the occasion (and the cash!) for it. The We Who See boots from UO have great reviews so far, they're supposed to be really comfortable, and any almost-5-inch-tall shoes that are comfortable are A-OK by me! The Be&D Garbo I have loved since I saw another version on Taylor Momsen's arm... hers is bright blue, but this black one is more my speed (the white is hot though too). And the studded sunglasses are just fun, and cheap, so I wouldn't feel bad if I accidently sat on them or something... which I've done to more sunnies than I'd like to remember!

Anyhow, I'm still working on the picture situation, so if you see some ugly Photobucket ads where pics should be I sincerely apologise. I was driving back home for Spring Break all day yesterday, and this morning my baby niece came over so I was playing with her. But I'm settled now, and I will be here until Friday, so the blog mess should be all sorted out soon!

***Did anyone go to the Erin Wasson sale? How was it? I want details!!

Currently Craving: Free People Convertible Harem Pants + More

Chie Mihara Platform Boots
Silence & Noise Satellite Moto Vest
Dolce Vita Hamilton Open-Toe Boots
Free People Convertible Harem Pants

This Currently Craving was inspired by the Free People Convertible Harem pants that I need to complete my wardrobe. Everything else I would just use in addition to the Harem pants - the "leather" vest would look hot coupled with the Harem pants in their jumpsuit orientation, and either the Chie Mihara or Dolce Vita Hamilton boots would be perfect footwear to complete the ensemble. And did I mention that the incredibly versatile Harem pants are only $78? Yes, it's true. How often is such a covetable item actually affordable? You better believe that these are currently in my online shopping cart!

Ann Demeulemeester Boots

I have recently become obsessed with these Ann Demeulemeester lace-up boots, ever since I saw them on the Saks website with another obsession-worthy piece, the Alexander Wang baggy sweater. How insanely hot are these boots? I love the lacing all the way up the boot, and how the laces wrap around the ankle a million times at the top. They seem difficult to put on, but once they're on I doubt you'll want to take them off. They seem like they'd be pretty comfortable too, as the heel is stacked and only 4 inches tall (I say only because I've been teetering around in 5+ inch heels lately and they are rough!). Of course, I'd need to get the Wang sweater too, because they just go so well together... there goes $1300!Pics from Saks

Chloé Spring 2009 Ready-to-Wear

I love that Spring collections are in stores! I know that January just started but I am so sick of heavy clothes and dark colors. Bring on the light colors and breezy skirts and dresses! In particular, I'm loving the Chloé Spring 2009 ready-to-wear collection. The pieces are casual and chic, light and breezy, and cinched with bows (my favorite!). And have you seen the shoes and purses? The Paratay bag (pictured below) has already become a huge hit with celebrities like Katie Holmes and Charlize Theron. Hannah MacGibbon, the new head of Chloé, said that she hoped to de-complicate fashion for young women through this collection. Do you think she accomplished that?

Here are some beautiful Chloé pieces that are currently available for sale or pre-order at Saks:

Chloé Scalloped Linen Dress

Chloé Jersey Day Dress

Chloé Pleated Linen Shirt
& Scalloped Skirt

Chloé Paratay Large Tote

Chloé Wedge Platform Sandals

Current Love <3

I went to Saks this afternoon and found my new true love, this gorgeous Marc by Marc Jacobs Painted Intarsia Hat. In the store it came in the pictured pink color, bright blue, and all black. It's $78 but oh so worth it. The way I tried it on was more pushed back on my head, a la this model, which makes it look even cuter than it does in these pics (and shows its versatility!). I must get this before Blair wears it on Gossip Girl and it sells out everywhere! Below is the whole set, including gloves and a scarf which are still available in both pink and blue. And my obsession with bows continues...
