I am loving cropped sweaters this season, Free People's fall line is full of them, I am grateful we now carry them at work, and the 20% off price tag adds to my pleasure.

Hat Day

I decided to do a little vintage shopping on my days off and came away with some great finds. This skirt was knee length, I cut it this morning before work, as I do with the majority of skirts, and it turned out fabulous. The print makes me happy.

My camera didn't want to take clear pictures last night, this is the best I could do.

Marni

Since its conception in 1994 Consuelo Castiglioni has managed to create a line that is filled with exiting graphics, exquisite textures, and bold colors. It seems that the Spring RTW 2010 collection was inpired by pirates. Although this has been the inspiration for many designer's before, Consuelo managed to make this collection cutting-edge with the use of stripes as a key pattern in combination with floral textiles. I love the rich textures of the scarfs wrapped around the hair, I will be using this often in upcoming months to sooth a bad hair day. I also adore the socks paired with sandals, although many relate this to their unfashionable male relatives, I believe it is an instant way to add personal style to any outfit.

I found this image of an antique engagement ring and fell in love. I would take this over a diamond any day. Below is my clothing translation:

The Chloe 2010 spring collection is what I would envision my dream closet looking like this spring, although I would surely figure out a way to wear the pieces in the winter as well. I adore the muted colors mixed with high waistes trousers and skirts, adorned with oh so feminine ribbon fashioned as belts. The ruffles are done with the spirit of masculine tailoring in mind, and combine tailored blouses with peek a boo cut outs, creating a collection that is both pleasing to the eye and creates an unforgetable paradox.

Somehow Louis Vuitton designed a piece of jewlrey that perfectly combines my boyfriend and my distinctly different passions- bikes and fashion- a match made in heaven
