Have you ever seen the classic Funny Face? It’s a great movie. Perfect for a girl’s night in or a Friday night when you don’t feel like getting primped and proper for a night on the town. Anyway, this collections screams Funny Face to me. Audrey Hepburn reinvented for the millennium. She’s quirky, smart, funny, and obviously still very, very stylish.

This is the sort of collection that features clothes that I imagine Fashion Editors wear. Kind of avant garde and minimalist, yet trendy. There’s a futuristic vibe to this collection. Or maybe I’m full of shit and I have no idea what I’m talking about cause I’ve been looking at fashion shows ALL DAY LONG.
I mean, it’s nice.

When I first looked at this collection I had the strongest desire for a  piece of Fruitstripe gum. The stripes and colors just made my mouth start watering. Pavlov knew his stuff. That unnecessary information aside, I liked this collection and it’s kinda sorta preppy vibe. I see, much to my dismay, crop tops aren’t going anywhere.

Hands down, my favorite new designer. Have you seen her Fall 2013 collection? It’s all dark heroine and lady in distress with finger waves. I love it and I love this. There’s not one thing I wouldn’t wear in this Spring collection. Not. One. Thing.

I have nothing to say that would measure up to this collection. It was brilliant and exactly what I imagine myself wearing during the Spring, while living and working as a stylist in New York. Obviously, when I move to New York I plan to win the lottery or something so that I can afford these pieces, but that’s a minor detail. My dreams are big and who’s got time for realism these days?

If you’ve been following me along as I bring to you the Spring collections, you might be wondering,  where is the hip collection? Where’s the collection that features the pieces that the  Chloe Sevignys of the world would wear? Well, ye of little faith! I haven’t let you down yet and I don’t plan to any time soon. Here is Veronica Beard’s Spring collection and it’s chock full of hot to trot pieces and killer hip outfits (hello, yellow moto jacket pantsuit!) that are just dying to be worn while strutting down the boulevard.

My love affair of all things BCBG started when I was in high school. I longed for the life that would grant me the opportunities to wear Max Azria’s clothes. For my senior prom I bought my first BCBG piece. A black and blue dress with sequins and beads sewn into starburst patterns. It was magical. I still have it and even though it’s been over 10 years since I wore it, I can still fit into it. Therefore, I shall keep it.
Back to the Spring collection. Its just as lovely as my senior prom dress: watercolor prints and washed out neutrals. It’s the epitome of city sophisticate. It’s all very effortlessly chic and hassle-free glam.

Um, can you say Sexy Bombshell? Cause, that’s what everyone will be saying when you walk by in any of these looks. The dresses…the pants outfits… the unitards bodysuits for crying out loud! Who would’ve thought I’d be ready to don a bodysuit again. I used to love them when I was in 4th grade. I went through a luxe, baroque phase where everything I owned was crushed velvet, jewel-toned, and needed to be worn with a pearl choker. I repeat, I was in 4th grade. Way ahead of my game. I even had these tweed shorts I wore with tights and Mary Janes. Classic.  I like these bodysuits a little more. More refined and grown up. Perfect to go from the work to cocktail hour.

Continuing in the punky, Cali cool aesthetic, L.A.M.B.’s Spring collection makes me want to perm my hair, brush it out and buy a bunch of dayglo sunglasses. It’s grown up grunge and polished punk at it’s best. That blue pants suit? Yea, that would look great on me. And don’t even get me started on the shoes…I wants it all.

This collection reminds me of the early nineties for some reason. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s full on nostalgia happening. Anyway, this show featured sharp middle of the head parts, somber expressions, and leather jackets everywhere. The fit ranges from close to body and tailored to loose and boxy. I loved the leather moto jackets and crop top/maxi skirt sets. Other than that, I feel like I’ve been there and done that.
