I can’t complain with temps still being in the 70s and, well, no snow except on the tops of the mountains, but I’d still like to drive out to the desert one weekend for an extra dose of sunshine, dressed up like Daria Werbowy in Isabel Marant Spring 2010

Today was the funeral for Alexander McQueen. I hope he finds peace and beauty in the next life – thank you for a lifetime’s worth of inspiration. (Image of McQueen lace-up peep-toe pumps from Pedder Zine Spring/Summer 2008)

Anthropologie fan favorite Leifsdottir’s Spring 2010 lookbook is lush and lovely, and incites the wanderlust in me, full-body airport scanners be damned. Their pieces are available for online purchase now.

Truly in love in everything Stella McCartney creates – her summer 2010 collection has the sweetest, softest palette of sunset shades.

I haven’t been this excited about a designer collab in awhile – really looking forward to the stripey sweaters by Sonia Rykiel for H&M next week. And it doesn’t help matters that the campaign features my fave model of the moment, Karlie Kloss.

Spoon the one you love today! (E-Valentine from Kate Spade)

I’m a big fan of Claire Pettibone’s bridal gowns – she designed my wedding dress, after all – and her latest Asian-inspired Spring 2010 collection is nothing short of breathtaking. In a world full of over-the-top cupcake dresses, I love how the standard bloom takes on a more sculptural, textured feel.

I’m constantly looking to Veer not only for their latest type offerings, but for inspiration from their designs, like in this slideshow about office workers and the objects of their affection.

Nina Ricci Pre-Fall 2010 serves as the perfect point of inspiration for a Valentine’s Day date – whatever the occasion, the style remains classically romantic, effortlessly feminine, sexy not slutty.

Jimmyjane is bringing beauty – and sexy – back into a usually tacky and terribly packaged industry, without sacrificing function. Just an idea for a little something for Valentine’s Day…

Ack! So very much in love with these heart-shaped journals – so simple, compact, and the type is lovely.
