Dressing by the Decades

What's your favorite fashion era? While I definitely appreciate the easy, glam looks of the seventies and the ladylike appeal of the fifties, my favorite eras are the sixties and the twenties. Perhaps that's why I'm drawn to Erin Fetherston's spring 2012 collection. The looks are a little bit flapper and a whole lot mod!

Bare Necessities

You all probably know how much I love a streamlined look, but I'm crazy about these nude dresses from the Calvin Klein Collection spring show. There's something so bare and effortless about these looks that makes them absolutely beautiful to me.

Champagne Dreams

Is anyone else craving a little glamour today? Then let's lust after these incredible gowns in Marchesa's spring 2012 collection. Fluttery, frothy and feminine, these dresses are utterly gorgeous. If I had one, I think I could find a pretty fantastic event to wear it to!

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.
