Top Trends This Spring

My favorite season is right around the corner, which also means my favorite colors, fashions, and trends are ready to bloom again!

Here is my list of Spring line favorites for 2011. =]

1. Marc by Marc Jacobs.

With playful colors and swinging silhouettes, these 70's inspired looks will have you wanting to dance your way right into Summer.

2. Oscar de la Renta.

Oscar has always had a main idea in mind when creating his pieces: to celebrate femininity. Prints, patterns and florals may be a standard go-to when it comes to spring attire, but this line has a fresh new take on retro spirited aesthetics.

3. Calvin Klein.

Whites, whites, and more whites. "Less is more" is certainly a phrase to live by this season. Klein's Spring line features emphasis on clean cutouts, sleek lines, and all around sexiness with very minimal color.

4. Donna Karan.

Donna Karan's theme for this season: Easy. Her clothing hangs on the body in a way that appears classy and elegant, never sloppy. Karan gives credit to the Earth for her inspiration of design. This year's spring collection was done in a monochromatic pallete of neutrals. Simple and chic, never boring.

5. Diane von Furstenberg.

Alas, Diane von Fursternberg. Did you really think this Spring fashion article would go without mention of the queen of bold textiles? The inspiration of her line this season is "Goddess." The theme definitely came through at New York Fashion Week. This Goddess is not the mythical ancient Greek kind but the strong female who can take on anything. The line is stock full of colorful prints, layers, dresses, and tailored suites. The line also featured bright monotone separates that when paired together would turn heads. DVF, you have outdone yourself again.

So there you have it. If you can't tell, I'm raring and ready to go. Spring needs to get a move on because I'm over dull colors and thick boots.

Cheers to you, up and coming season. I am your biggest fan.

iPhone 4 update

I can't believe I'm updating my blog from my phone! Yes, that's right. I'm taking a test run with my new iPhone 4 and had to see if I could actually post to my blog from my cellular device. This is crazy!!








My cute boyfriend at the dinner table Tuesday night. I love, love, love my instagram app!






And this was during our walk in downtown Grand Haven. :)

So there you have it, my blog post via Apple iPhone 4G.

Precious Love

Happy Valentine's Day!

My weeks have been absolutely FLYING by! I can't believe how quickly the past few months have gone. I am usually wishing winter away, and now I feel like it's slipping right on by. The sun is shining today and it's a gorgeous V-day. =]

Life has been pretty spectacular lately. If I could have one wish, however, it would be a new job. I have been searching for a career since I graduated in May. No such luck. The job market in West Michigan is absolutely dreadful in the film, video, and media industry. Ridiculous idea for a college major? Maybe. Regret it? Absolutely not. The right job is out there for me. I just need to keep my chin up and be thankful that I went to school for something that I love.

Quick recap of a view events that happened since my last update:

My sister and I at my cousin's benefit for his brain cancer. We raised thousands to support him and his family! So proud.

At my cousin's twin boys 5th birthday party.

Finally! A girl's night with my best friend Stacey. Out for drinks and dancing with the ladies.

I hope you all have a fabulous Valentine's day and you get to spend it with that special someone. Tonight, Kyle is spoiling me by making me dinner with a few surprises up his sleeve. =] The best.
