Collection to Covet: Gucci Fall 2011

Check out the Gucci hats!  So much in love! Also loving Gucci's bold color palate. Makes me happy that Fall isn't just for browns any more. And fur! Such a great '30s throwback. I want it all. Layers, layers and more layers! And all the mixing of patterns.  Giant heart!

Pieces to Covet: Botega Veneta Fall 2011

I would love to wear either one of these absolutely gorgeous dresses! So much love for pieces like this, especially anything featuring yellow.

Collection to Covet: Emilio Pucci Fall 2011

OMG I heart these too!  Amazing! Obsessed with the deep rich tones. Purple, navy and forest green are the winning combo, for sure. Looking forward to trying this in the fall...

Collection to Covet: Haider Ackermann Fall 2011

When the Sartorialist calls this the "collection to beat" for Fall 2011 they were not kidding. Holy crap!  I love everything that has to do with this collection.  All the leather, the draping, multiple belts, use of silks, ridiculous layering.  I want to go to here.  And now, please!

More pics are here. Serious obsession!

Stepford Wife

dress: Vintage, crinoline: (unpictured) Vintage, belt: thrifted, heels: Banana Republic gifted

This is the dress I bought on Sat!  Super excited to pimp it out with jewelry (and a brooch) and rock it at Jacki's wedding in May!

Please ignore dirty hair/no makeup look I took it this morning before I went to yoga... (figured another pic of me in my yoga gear would be passe).  God, I love vintage clothes that fit me...

On another note, got a call from the 5th about a callback on Friday for a reading and have a job interview at Uptown Expresso early tomorrow afternoon.  Wish me luck on both accounts!  Good day today!

Grandest Lady in the Easter Parade

dress suit: Vintage, belt: Vintage, gloves: Costume, tights: American Apparel, shoes: Cindy from DSW,  hat: Staring at Stars from Urban, accessories: thrifted pearls

Super obsessed with my Easter look!  It was waaaaaaay overdressed, but I did not care!  What is Easter without a kickass hat and costume?  It made me happy.  I felt like I could have fit in at a service from the '60s very easily.  Plus I got a lot of compliments (along with the stares).

Lazy afternoon at la mama's post Easter service/brunch with the fam and it was niiiice. Watching Cleopatra and drifting in and out of sleep in borrowed sweats was exactly what I felt like.

Also, found a beautiful dress for Jacki's wedding at Red Light yesterday!  (Um, an olive green 1950's house dress with crystal flower buttons and a crinoline underneath?  YES PLEASE!)  I cannot wait to post pics!  It is so much fun! God, I heart Red Light.  I have found all of my best vintage dresses there (including the one pictured above!)

Back to the job search tomorrow (I can haz job plz? kthxbye!)

Accessorize...d

scarf: gifted, bracelet: gifted from Panama, purse: New Charlotte Russe

Yesterdays updated outfit from the morning and early afternoon of wandering downtown in the glorious sun, getting myself an Easter mani/pedi, soaking up the sun as much as possible and playing with Jessica's new kittehs to dinner at Smith, "Sick" at New City Theatre (ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!  Extended through mid-May.  SEE. THIS. SHOW.), Molly Moons and Evan's 30th.  A few small changes, but they made a big difference.  I am in heart with accessories!
