Objet D'Art: Jean Paul Gaultier
Speaking of color, the most memorable creation of Gaultier’s Spring 2011 Couture show: Look #48. Long scarlet gloves accented the interweaving shots of color that swirled up the bodice and around the skirt. Imagine how many layers of tulle went into that?!

Long, billowing skirts, simple cuts in cotton and silk, and clean palettes with a flush of color make for perfect spring attire. No one does minimalism better than Francisco Costa at Calvin Klein, but Raf Simons at Jil Sander debuted a gorgeously fresh spring collection.

Tiny, delicate pleats sprang up in skirts and dresses, from metallics to chiffon.
Perfect paired with ballet flats, lace up espadrilles, or ladylike pumps, this trend is chic and wearable.

I am officially obsessed. I usually hate any type of snakeskin since it kind of freaks me out, but this bag is beautiful. I love the teal, oceany-blue color and the mixture of cool (snakeskin) + pretty (the ribbon chain).
Let it Snow
I feel like such a little kid, but I am beyond excited that today is a snow day here in New York! The streets actually aren’t that bad, but the city looks something like a winter wonderland. So today I’m curling up in a giant sweater with a cup of hot chocolate and the entire first season of Gossip Girl.
