We Love: Gucci Fall 2011 RTW

Hats.
COLOR. 
Polka dots!
Sheer fabrics.
70s inspiration. 
Gorgeous silhouettes. 
Those DRESSES...no words. 
Maxi lengths with slits up to there. 


We'd post all fifty looks if we could (except for the snakeskin...why oh why was it all over the fall runways?) 
Our most favorites (or, you know, The Top 20): 

And the genius behind all of this beauty: 

the lovely Frida Giannini

Digital Inspiration - 02/28

Sources: we heart it, the cherry blossom girl

Lately, we're inspired by goddesses - Egyptian, Grecian, and modern (to name a few.) Loose layers, heavy embellishment, and free-flowing hair just feel right for the moment. Neutrals, which were shown in many spring 2011 collections, give the fabrics a more delicate and girly look. Bold hardware counteracts the super femininity. Top the look off with an unexpected hat or statement shoe for a look any modern goddess could appreciate! 

We Love: Jason Wu (Fall 2011 RTW Collection)

WOW. 

Wow. 

wow. 

Lace, prints, neutrals, perfection. It's as though Mr. Wu has designed our dream fall rtw collection. Take a peek for yourself:

We Love: To Catch A Thief (1955)

Sources: 1, 2, 3

That dress. Those jewels. 

And Cary Grant doesn't look half bad himself. 

We Love: Ruffles, Romance, and Red Pumps

In the spirit of V-Day, we thought we'd share with you one of our favorite Spring 2011 collections designed by none other than Ms. Donna Karan herself. Our eyes were instantly drawn to the beautifully crafted ruffles (Lanvin came to mind), fun pops of color (note the coincidental pink and red outfits), and black bow-tied sashes on almost every outfit. It's youthful, simple, and sweet, so be sure to pair with your sexiest lingerie to add a little spice!

Monday Muse - Dita Von Teese

Very few people can style 1940s and 50s outfits and look quite as put together as Ms. Dita Von Teese. Sans stylist, her clothing choices are always beautifully unique and ladylike and accentuate her hourglass figure. Pin curls, red lipstick {in MAC's Russian Red or Ruby Woo} and radiant skin are often her finishing touches. So it definitely didn't surprise us when we opened one of our favorite magazines today and found her gracing several of the glossy pages. Sure she's known for her gorgeously styled outfits and classy take on burlesque, but have you seen her home? We nearly turned green with envy when we saw her glamourous abode in the February 2011 issue of InStyle! {And we're secretly dying to try her Spiced Mice recipe!}
