While our current season ranks lowest on my scale of favorite times of year, what it lacks in preferable climate, it makes up for in candy. Right around February, my absolute favorite sweets start popping up on shelves, making the winter seem not too terrible after all. What’s your top Easter treat?
Irresistibly sweet in any color.
Impossible to resist. These Mini Eggs are my weakness.
Cream eggs. Perfection.
Colorful tulips make winter days brighter.
After viewing the Rachel Roy Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear line, I am ready to fast forward to next fall. Inspired by Moroccan military gear, Rachel Roy embraced the opulence of the North African setting by fusing earth tones and bold patterns with classic cuts and elegant draping. Teetering on the masculine silhouette, the colors are muted, the shapes are boxy, and pops of glitter and pearls are essential for a touch of femininity.
Below are a few of our favorite picks. Click here to see the entire collection.
Having endured years of strictly-enforced dress codes during my private school years, I’ve developed a certain affection for uniform-inspired clothes, especially when there’s an element of masculinity. Designers, too, seem to take inspiration from the boys. Take, for example these blazers from Eight Sixty, J.Crew, and Victoria’s Secret. All are perfect examples of a classic design upgraded to suit current trends. Given the wear I’ve gotten out of my black blazer this past summer, fall, and winter, I can only predict a fresh gray or navy addition will get the same love throughout the spring.
Seriously loving the gray fabric with oversized brass buttons.
The lightweight linen/cotton blend is perfect for nights when it gets a little chilly.
{Wool Flannel Schoolboy Blazer, $198.00}
The muted buttons make this a dressier, perfect-for-work option.
