Springing Ahead

This weekend was lovely. The weather was unusually warm, which meant we took lots of walks outside and opened the windows of our house to let in fresh air. (And of course I forgot to set my clocks ahead; I never remember daylight saving's time!)

While I know it's too early to pack up my sweaters and boots, I am dreaming about sundresses and spring-y colors. Diane von Furstenberg's spring 2012 collection -- with its easy yet ladylike silhouettes and soft, pretty hues -- seems like the ideal aesthetic to set my sights on now.

Dressing Up

Back in elementary school, I wore a dress or skirt every day. That is, except for days when we had gym class and were required to wear pants or shorts. Lately, I must be pretty in touch with my inner seven-year-old because I can't remember the last time I opted for pants over a dress. All summer I've been living in sundresses, and I love it. 

If I had to choose only one designer with which to outfit myself, it would have to be Diane von Furstenberg. Now, she's someone who gets dresses!
