Wants/Needs

Black Straw Woven Twist Lock Purse; WIRE Orange Suede Faux Snakeskin Platform Wedges

Black Chain Handle Studded Circle Cross Body Bag; Flat Knotted Sandals

Cream Crochet Fringe Crop Top; Pale Green Spring Floral Snood

A spring wishlist of sorts, all coming from Topshop. I was originally going to write something about the actual clothes but whilst making this I realized that I am probably going to be waking up to more snow tomorrow, and I am looking at sandals. Life can be so cruel sometimes, can't it?
Well, wherever you may be, I hope you are actually getting some sun throughout your day, and here's to hoping March brings a better forecast!

Pink Hair Has Never Looked So Good

New

All three top rings + set of 5 knuckle rings from ASOS

These lovelies arrived a day or two ago and I'm quite happy with my purchase- minus the fact that I had to play pretend in that photo to get the knuckle rings to actually look like they fit (hence them not being on straight). I'm not sure what sort of measurements were used but I don't know of any woman with knuckles that large. Not a problem though, I'll just have to wear 'em like normal rings, and after getting over my immediate annoyance I no longer mind.

As for the top set, I love them! I was about to buy in black instead but my need for new, spring jewelry made me go towards the coral. Slowly putting color back into my wardrobe is making me feel good.

Althea Harper

Althea Harper has been featured on this blog before thanks to her gorgeous and 100% wearable clothing, and when I received these images of her f/w collection I went straight into blogger mode and knew I needed these on my site! Romantic lace all edged out with sexy dresses and mesh inserts? Sounds like a winner to me. You could probably already tell I'd say that though due to my inability to narrow down the number of looks. I just couldn't help myself. Good things need to be shared

Altuzarra

By the time you get to read this I'll be back drooling over Altuzarra's mismatched layers of beaded dresses and parkas, the bold makeup, all things sheer and satin, and of course the fur-trimmed everything that graced the runway. Don't you just love the juxtaposition of it all?

Jason Wu

Jason Wu winning me over once again this season with his use of bold pops of color and loads upon loads of lace. I will admit that I was not all that enthusiastic about most of the menswear-inspired looks, but as I found myself getting further into the collection my thoughts totally changed, and I can now confidently state that Wu turned out some fine work in my eyes. So much so that if lace masks were suitable everyday wear, I'd have to go for it. Alas, that is not the case, so realistically I'll just have to settle for a pair of those red shades. Not that I mind that at all.

For Those Hotter Days

For those of us living in the northern hemisphere, its still winter. Their is no doubting it, denying it, ignoring it, nothing of that sort. I know we are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of the spring and eventually summer months but hey, now its February which is basically March, and that is almost May and then you're into the summer. If that simple logic tells me anything it is that those sunshine-y months are rapidly approaching and that alarm goes off in my head that us girls have embedded in our dna. The omg-I-have-to-be-swimsuit-ready alarm (unless of course that doesn't go off in your head...you can just consider yourself genetically blessed then). Either way, we all have to think about the main aspect of swimsuit season. Of course I am talking about the bikini! It may seem premature but it is never to early to start looking and swimwear makes for great exercise inspiration! You can begin your search at Bikini Beach Star for designer women's bikinis from an array of different lines. I picked some of my favorites to share with you below:

The "Brazil Bandeau" by Melissa Odabash. Sure, your tan line may not be easy to hide, but you'll look good laying out! I'd say that is a silver lining

How great is the top on this Caffe "Egyptian" suit?

Loving this super glam bikini from Beach Bunny

A cute and feminine rose print bikini by Milly Cabana

On the more sophisticated side is this Le Tarte swimsuit complete with one of the most flattering fits ever.

And lastly these crochet shorts that seem to be on everybody's must list, including my own of course. These ones happen to be by Le Tarte

Religion

I don't often mention it but I'm from Chicago, and if you have any idea about what is going on with the weather, you'll know that a blizzard hit my lovely little state and many others. It seems as though the worst is behind us, but I think it is safe to say that I'll have to endure some more winter before I can add the slightest "spring inspirations" into my wardrobe. That doesn't have to stop me from looking though, and when I was contacted recently about Religion clothing I headed over to their website, straight to their last Spring/Summer collection which brought layers, fringe, and a chain belt that is making me want to reconstruct my old necklaces.

As great as the idea of a bare leg and open toes sounds right now, with the inches upon inches of snow on the ground I'll be sticking with Religion's f/w collection for the time being, and after having a quick look at it all, I don't really mind.

Last thing: Menswear. Never before has it graced this blog, but with styling this good I couldn't say no. Plus, the fact that I'm loving all their jackets didn't hurt either. Really if that last leather sleeve jacket came in XS we'd be in business.
