Life's So Bright

Okay, so I realize that the Wayfarer thing is a little over. Every celebrity on the face of the planet has been seen wearing them, I know, I know.

Yet, I still wear my pair on sunny days. It's just a classic shape that looks good and effortlessly cool on anybody.

So obviously, as part of this country's SHOCKING visually impaired contingent, I gravitate toward my own pair of Wayfarer eyeglasses. Maybe that's one of the things I can pick up cheaper in China? Here's hoping.

Spring Forward

Despite the absolutely dreary weather, I ventured to Saks yesterday to try some of the department store's spring offerings. Even though the economy sucks, I was pretty pumped to find some sundresses I actually wanted to buy.

At left is the confetti silk dress by Marc by Marc Jacobs. The cut was super flattering, and I really dug the geometric pattern that ended up looking a little Flinstone-esque. The sky blue is also a really nice color. It didn't look terrible on my super pale skin color and I would image it'll look nice with a tan, too. ($348)

Next to it is the pricilla ruffle dress in this really pretty blush color from Elizabeth and James. MK and A definitely got it right with this one - the straps attach in the back but can be unbuttoned so you could turn it into a halter or criss cross them. The ruffles are fun, to boot. ($375) 

Update: The Marc by Marc dress is actually resort and thus last season. Bloomingdale's has it on sale for $243. They don't have it in my size, but it looks like Net-a-porter is pretty much sold out, and I had a hard time finding it online, so I would skeedadle over to Saks if you want it.

Wrap it up

I don't know about you guys, but to me, it's just not Christmas without a dress and tights.

And even though it's almost April and I really should be thinking about cute summer clothes and bathing suites, this photo of Theodora Richards for Erin Kleinberg has me dreaming of a White Christmas, just like the ones I never really knew.

Plus, I mean. She's reading what appears to be a vintage book in what could be the coolest burgundy wrap dress to hit Barney's since DVF.
