Spring Forward

Maisonette 1977 blazer (yes it's made with the collar "popped"-- detail next time!), DKNY blouse, Gap chinos, Proenza Schouler sandals

 You can kind of see the heel???

Little did I know that with the last post, not only would I "fall bac"k sartorially, but also psychologically, emotionally, and even physically in the following weeks.  Down a very dark hole I went, only to emerge from the other side a little more beat up, but a LOT ready to spring forward (pardon the pun, it was a long time coming). And what that looking ahead most notably means is... a new wish list for Spring! Although I am infinitely happier working in fashion, my wish lists definitely have a lot more "wish" in them than they used to (not complaining), so I thought I'd share my halcyon dreams with you in a semi-organized and semi-justified list.  Here's to hoping more than one of these ends up on the sale rack!

Alexander Wang Leather Neck Bandana--'Cause why not?  And even Phoebe Philo is doing it.
Alexander Wang Nadia Peep Toe Sandal - because I need more (*read some) sexy shoes in my life
Christopher Kane Shower Shoes because I need (*read want) more ugly shoes in my life
The Printed Flared Leg Derek Lam Trouser and Sleeveless Shirt together because. Period.  
Giuseppe Zanotti Python Print Boots because they are the best boots ever made.
Acne Tafetta Palazzo Pants because you could eat a whole pizza by yourself in them and no one would notice.
Thakoon Sleeveless Western Shirtdress because the Bollywood Western is the new Thai Western.
JW Anderson Collage Dress because it's just amazing, damnit!
JW Anderson Leather Jacket because it's just amazing, damnit!
Rochas Pastel Tote because how pretty is it?  Seriously?  Tell me how pretty it is.
Marc Jacobs Sweatshirt because I am planning on transitioning to an all-sweatshirt based wardrobe by late 2012
Miu Miu Patchwork Skirt because what goes better with a sweatshirt than a blanket.....
3.1 Phillip Lim Drawstring Leather Shorts .....or leather gym shorts?
Proenza Schouler Eel Skirt and Polo Shirt because black and orange, black and orange, black and orange.
Acne Printed Dress because even though I know this isn't going to fit me and the boobs will be too big and the hips to small, the print is perfection.
This Nina Ricci number because I'm feeling a pink and slip dress moment coming on (when I'm not wearing sweatshirts)

And $5,000,000,000,000.
