random rambling: resort 2011 favorites

I love the resort shows. It's really the only time you can imagine putting on the things you see on the runways RIGHT NOW and enjoying it. I had a great time looking through everything and imagining what I'd want to pack for my Barcelona trip--among other things. Here are my favorites:

DIANE VON FURSTENBERG

Diane always says in interviews that she creates for the girl who flies... and I can definitely imagine shoving every single piece into my suitcase for an effortlessly chic get away.

JASON WU

If I was going back to Paris this summer, this is what I'd want to wear.

PROENZA SCHOULER

If I WAS going to Copenhagen [tear!], or, hell, nowhere at all.. I'd love to be frolicking around in these looks. By the way... what about those amazing, huge, rainbow-colored bags? Yes, please.

By the looks of things, stripes, shorts, and sex-ed up menswear aren't going anywhere. I need to start a petition to get shorts allowed in the office! ;)

Right now, I'm on the hunt for perfect-summer-weight-pants. Anyone have any tips for a petite girl?

monday funday: peekaboo!

I have a new addiction brewing after stumbling across Trendy Crew last night [eek!], but what I really wanted to talk about is a new trend I've been eyeing. The beginning of summer is prompting lots of playful peekaboos. I see it as an evolution of the playful bare/not-bare sock/stocking trend:

It's actually something I started to think about a few weeks ago when I saw this photo on Chictopia:

And the evidence is quickly mounting...

I particularly like the mesh bottom of the skirt, or the long-sleeved T under a blazer--what a way to sneak in some almost-too-naughty-peeks at work!
