Resort 2011: The Row

i’m drawn to this jacket: can’t wait to see/feel the fabric

I’m mesmerized by the model’s hair and how it perfectly coordinates with The Row’s resort fashions. Long, straight, minimal …. see the complete collection at Style.com. (Word is that Mary-Kate and Ashley are working on a handbag. Would love to see their take on the perfect bag. They certainly source interesting shoes for their shows.)

Alice Park’s accessories collection owns the intersection of utilitarian and chic. Isn’t the blue satchel divine? And I’d love to have such an elegant receipt holder. Stated simply, I love it all.

I’m a bit sad I didn’t discover Alice Park earlier, as the archive contains some fantastic pieces as well.

i love this bag!

Proenza Schouler’s resort collection has me rethinking my handbag color paradigm. I’m now convinced a vibrant green is the perfect neutral. See the full show at Style.com.

Papier Labo

Even a language barrier (google translate failed me!) couldn’t keep me from scrolling through page after page (after page) of the Papier Labo blog. Completely irresistible paper products. The bright blue notebook alone, pictured above, has taken over a good section of my brain. It’s really the perfect color.
