Antonio Berardi

The Resort 2011 Collections have finally come out, and Antonio Berardi's collection made my heart beat faster every look I saw. It's about time for easy silhouettes and light breezy colors. You can bet I'll be taking a hint from Antonio this spring.

Chloe's Fall 2010 Ad Campaign

I am having a serious obsession with these pants in Chloe's new Fall ads. I have searched high and low, trying to find some lookalikes for less than what I paid for my laptop and have been unsuccessful. I can only dream that one day I will find them hidden for half price at a designer vintage shop in Soho....

Starbucks

Although I am not a fan of the taste of coffee or tea (although I would like to be if anyone has suggestions of something they like that isn't too strong), I would probably buy more drinks there if someone took the time to do this to every cup of coffee, although I do realize it must be time consuming. If I worked at Starbucks I think I would write just one happy/inspirational line on everyone's coffee cup. Little surprises like that can brighten everyones day :)

A Nice Cool One

No, a nice cool one is not referring to a beer. It is ice cream. There is nothing that I enjoy more than a a great sherbet on a hot summer's day, which we've had a lot of in DC lately.

Fairy Dust

Everyone wants to be a kid again at times. I am considering making my own jar of Fairy Dust purely for my own amusement.

Hitched

On my little excursion to Georgetown today I passed by the cutest bridal boutique called Hitched on Wisconsin Avenue. I have promised myself that I will go there to try on dresses if I ever talk some poor sap into putting a ring on my finger. I went online to look and some of the dresses they carry and found this Oscar de la Renta one. I think it would be perfect for something outdoors.

Collette Dinnigan

One of my favorite things about Fashion Week is discovering new designers. Sure I still get butterflies when I'm clicking through the latest Valentino show (who has created some beautiful cocktail dresses for this Fall 2010 season), but nothing compares to the feeling of being blown over by a beautiful collection by a not so famous designer. This season it's Collette Dinnigan. With a collection of all black, navy, white, and a ton of gorgeous lace, this collection has 1950's flair, but it's not over the top. I would wear every piece in this collection. Check out the entire Fall 2010 Ready to Wear Collection Here and see all ten of the past and present work of Ms. Dinnigan here.
