'Yet Herein Will I Imitate the Sun'

Saw this photo in an issue of Lucky Mag., and for some reason it really caught my attention. So I decided to copy the styling completely. I usually like to put my own twist on inspiration, but this styling had everything that I love: layers, neon, pink and black and white! Plus, it was cold out when I was flipping through the magazine, so I guess the bright yellow sweater and the mint skirt sang 'hallelujah' to me!

Check out my Pinterest boards (here) for more of what inspires me!

'Look Like The Innocent Flower, But Be The Serpent Under 't'

So, here's another outfit I showed you guys on My 2012 Spring Style videos (here and here). I'm extremely glad I waited in-line for a half hour to get these floral pants (not only was it super crowded in H&M, but my silly cashier had fingernails the length of a football field and was a bit challenged when it came to ringing stuff up or taking money from people, especially coins)...

I saw these pants a couple of months ago, but the $49 price tag made me put them back...um, sorry H&M; I see your rising prices, and I don't think so. Now they're back for $14.99!

What I'm Wearing:

H&M Floral Pants

Zara Floral Blouse

Sweater: JCrew

Cole Haan Alisa Oxfords

Necklaces: Asos Collar, Forever21 Rhinestone

Rings: YSL, Made Her Think, Top Shop Skull

Bracelets: H&M, Bali Name Cuff

Sunspecs: RayBan Wayfarer

'Mint...Fashion's Own Knight'

Have I mentioned to you guys how much I'm adoring the color mint? It's now right up there with my love for grey and fuchsia! Which, incidentally, makes an appearance here as well - clutch, check, lips, check! This is one of the outfits I styled on My 2012 Spring Style videos here and here. 

I've gotten so many compliments on these Asos mint loafers I'm wearing. Almost makes me want to click 'purchase' on the black and white ones here.  Not yet, Amy, not yet! Hold out for a 20% off code. But really, they are only $68 and really well made. If they run low in stock, screw the 20% code.

'Now Purple With Love's Wound'

Enjoying the Spring sun in one of my new Zara knit sweaters. Love the $19 price tag; hate that it snags very easily. Still, it's a great buy, and I love the peek-a-boo cut-out in the back. Paired it with my purple, cotton voile skirt for a little play on texture. Perfect combo for those not-so-warm/not-so-cool Spring days.

'Too Much of a Good Thing'

It's getting just warm enough to go bare-legged for nights out, so I'm getting as much wear out of this Zara sweater (worn here and here) before it's time to put it away. I'll miss it, but not really! Heat trumps cold any day!

Loving my Marc by Marc Jacobs Sasha bag - I wore it practically all Winter long. The dove grey is so gorgeous, and it's neutrality makes it perfect with everything. The problem is denim or anything dark rubs off on it, so now the back of the bag is a lil greenish (yeah, green, don't ask me why it decided to turn green...) in color. Anyhoo, it still remains one of my fav bags since I can throw everything in it (including my big butt camera), and one of my best scores on eBay! One of these days, I'll take it to get re-dyed.

Any of you ladies ever had a bag dyed, and if you're in the NYC area, any good places I should know about?

'What, My Dear [Suede Skirt], Are You Yet Living?'

I've had this pink suede skirt for a little over 10 years now, and I've yet to put it in the cleaners. Why? I'm terrified that if I do, it won't come back the same (i.e., significantly lighter in color). I've had bad experiences with dry cleaning and leather/suede and have had to get rid of the piece because it was simply ruined. And so I keep this skirt in my closet, under plastic, pulling it out a few times a year. I'll just let it age gracefully...

Not a huge sock and shoe kinda gal, but when I saw these bold polka cuties in Lucky Mag., I just had to have them on my footsies.

What do you think of socks and shoes? Infantile or sweetly mature?

What I'm Wearing:

Suede Skirt: Banana Republic

Sweater: Renee C. via Need Supply Co.

Socks: Hansel from Basel via Anthropologie

Clutch: Clare Vivier

Shoes: Urban Outfitters

Necklaces: Forever 21

Bracelets: JCrew

Ring: A Peace Treaty
