Random Spring 2013 picks

 Now that the Pre-Fall 2013 collections are being shown, it's time to wrap up some odds and ends from the Spring 2013 shows.  Here are some of my random picks.

 

 

Billy Reid

Sophisticated pajama dressing, I might be on board.

Holmes & Yang - admit it you are curious

Trying to figure out if the print are lobsters, shrimp, feathers or just randomness.

How easy would this be to recreate this look?  Hello red shorts, on my shopping list now.

 

The Row - here's what MK and Ashley have been up to:

Another take on pajama dressing.

 

Rodarte

 

Versace

This dress makes me think of Carrie Underwood for some reason.

Happy Weekend and My Five from The Row Spring 2011

Sorry for the late post today, we are deep into toddler sleep issues (as in she doesn't want to) this is a new phase and it's totally thrown a wrench in my schoolwork, blogging and "me" time.  I'm having to readjust how and when I can actually get my work accomplished.  It doesn't help that I start my most difficult paralegal class (legal research and writing) tomorrow.  Just a warning, the blog may not be updated as often for the rest of the month.  I have programmed in some "my five" posts so it (and you) won't be completely neglected.  I hope everyone has a great weekend!  I'll leave you with my picks from The Row's Spring 2011 collection (talk about a neutral palette - except for the red shoes!  woo hoo!).  Enjoy!

The Row Fall 2010

Ah, who would have guessed that the little girls who played Michelle Tanner on "Full House" all those years ago would be players in the fashion game?  Not me.  But here I am intrigued and impressed enough to post some picks from their high end line - The Row.  It's very subtle and understated luxury, sophisticated, chic and totally wearable.  I'll take that blue snakeskin looking dress and those sandals - beautiful.  Here are some other looks I enjoyed:

Nice work Michelle Tanner!

I was browsing around doing some "shopping" online - I use quotations because I'm pretending I can afford to shop mindlessly, when in fact my current state of "lock down" forbids this. Grrrr. Oh well, back to the point of this post, I ran across a nice surprise on Neiman Marcus's site. A couple of really cute pairs of shoes from Elizabeth and James. Yes THAT Elizabeth and James - designed by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. I hate to admit, but their stuff isn't bad at all. Uncle Jesse would be proud!

Gathered Peep-Toe d'Orsay $270 - here
