The last thing I want to do these days is look at anything related to cold/snow/wind/rain (i.e. fall clothing).

Good thing there are beautiful spring lookbooks like this one from Talula to distract me from the shivery outdoors :)

The setting really caught my eye: scattered roses, skulls, pentagrams, old books and antique cabinets. Magical and so different from the norm.



tout va bien.

Favorite trend emerging out of the faltering economy: more designers partnering with big chains to provide great clothing to frugal fans.

The newest designer to jump on the bandwagon (joining Christian Siriano, Matthew Williamson, the myriad designers for Target, etc.) is Rachel Roy.

The eponymous line - a Macy's exclusive hitting stores in August - is a vast departure from the elegance of Roy's fall '09 RTW, featuring loud patterns and pops of color. But she promises WWD, "It has the same designer sensibility," and thankfully, a far more attractive price tag.

I know, I know... it's springtime, and I've been begging for warm weather. But I'm totally digging these kick-ass boots from the Kenzo fall 09 RTW collection.

I wish I could find a side view of these little guys.
