"Spring Inspirations, Vicodin Style" Marni

Ok, I'm back from Boston/NYC and will do a "real" post later... for now I've got laundry to do and groceries to buy, so this will have to tide you over. Marni! This was one of my favorite favorites, obviously, since I already attempted an outfit inspired by this collection. I'll do another one once it FINALLY WARMS UP HERE! I got spoiled by the 50 degree temps on my vacation (I even got little sunburned on my face in NYC!). So, here you go - MARNI! (click it to make it big and readable)

Oooh, and guess what I bought while at the Garment District in Boston??? SOME MARNI! Will show later!

"Spring Inspirations, Vicodin Style" House of Holland

Ok, I was a little torn on posting this one... I did not want my "Spring Inspirations, Vicodin Style" to be mean, or mock the designers I do not like. I like SOME of the House of Holland's stuff (particularly the first two outfits here). I also appreciate that they don't take fashion too seriously and just experiment and have fun with it. That being said I also HAAAATED some of it (as in, all of the mens wear, which was girlier than the womens wear and all of those circle hole jeans.) So, I decided to cut myself some slack for getting a little mean on this one, but remember I was in terrible pain and a lot of Vicodin. So, for better or worse, I give you the House of Holland: (click the photo to make it bigger and readable)

P.S. You can check out the whole runway show here, and see that I am a saint, I could have been mocking a lot of this.

"Spring Inspirations, Vicodin style" Anna Sui

Oh Anna, I have such a weakness for vibrant colors, outfits that are "busy", and things that are vaguely ethnic. You nailed it! Click to enlarge and see the love!

"Spring Inspirations, Vicodin style" Christian Lacroix

This might be my favorite designer for Spring '09. Great colors, the clothes don't take themselves too seriously, interesting shapes... I could go on and on. Bravo, Christian Lacroix, now gimme that matador outfit! Click to see and read:

"Spring Inspirations, Vicodin style" Diane von Fürstenberg

Ok, Miss DvF, I love this collection. For some reason, I've always hated silks. About a month or two ago, this changed. I now own like three silk shirts and four silk skirts (and several silk kimonos). I can't wait to try to do an outfit (or two!) inspired by this collection. So click on the pic! Look! Laugh! Ignore the hair shenanigans!

"Spring Inspirations, Vicodin style" 3.1 Phillip Lim

Oh yes, click to see and read and love! I'm off to try to construct an outfit using this inspiration (which will be hard... I don't own many neutrals!) Click the photo to see it bigger and actually be able to read the text!

Bye, lovelies (and no mocking my wicked Photoshop skillz)!
