although the groundhog predicted 6 more weeks of winter, a tease of spring just blew through new york, the faint hint that it won't always be so cold.
the slightest suggestion of sunshiney days is all it takes
to find me dallying with thoughts of spring styling!
i'm looking forward to taking a cue from marc jacobs' spring 2009 runway, where he blended yves saint laurent and classic americana - and emboldened us all to attempt florid gingham patterns cinched with plaid obi belts.
this is layering at its most fun.
j. crew sweater, custom obi belt, vintage skirt & coat, melie bianco bag,
giuseppe zanotti shoes
it's lovely to have maximalism back in such an optimistic
way. there's a freshness to the this spring's look that recalls
one of my idols, the astonishingly stylish loulou de la falaise:
loulou clearly set the bar both in terms of accessorizing and combining color and texture with aplomb. did you notice the lizard climbing under her collar? that's brilliant!
she was a friend and muse to saint laurent, and it's
hard to miss her energy in jacobs' spring clothes.
i love when stylish people have equally stylish homes - it communicates a personal commitment to beauty that i've always admired. loulou's "colorful and generous" apartment (far top left, bottom right) clearly reflects the style and soul of its
chic gypsy keeper.
