Time to Head Towards the Beach

In the Image section of today's LA Times, I found a feature discussing how today's swimwear is focusing on the trends of the 1940s. Swimwear is leaving more to the imagination and adopting boy-cut briefs and full coverage tops.

Boy-cut briefs - count me in! I am all for this trend. It's glamorous and sexy. Take a look at the bathing suits above. I have my eye on the black-and-white Gottex one-piece. It's just lovely!

These dresses are so perfect for Spring. I am loving the drop-waist. The Chanel outfit - sunglasses, hair scarf, and gold jewlery - has been put together too well. She looks like she just walked off the Great Gatsby movie.

Neck Warmers?

(l-r): American Apparel, Etsy, Marc Jacobs.

What do you think? Yay or nay? I was about to purchase the yellow neck warmer from American Apparel, but then I thought - am I really gonna wear this? It's super cute, but I don't wear turtlenecks to begin with so would a neck warmer be any different? I could see where a neck warmer would be adorable with a cute trench coat. But what about with just a sweater? Hmmmm....dunno. Maybe I'm just attracted to the cute buttons.

Colours and Colours

The colorful tights at the Trovata NY Fashion Show were awesome. I liked a few pieces of the collection, but the tights were what got me. The white coat paired with the marine-colored tights and t-strap shoes is my favorite. I've been recently searching for a pair of royal blue tights. I found some at American Apparel, but they were stirrups; not sure how comfortable those would be, so I'm still searching.

Brrr, it's cold in here

I, unfortunately, do not own one, single coat. How this is possible, I don't know. Well, maybe it's because I live in Los Angeles. But, you definitely need something for those few days of 50 degree weather, right?

I've been searching for a coat this entire fall/winter season. Since I'm short and petite, it's been so damn difficult. I've only found 2 that fit well, but for some reason, I wasn't sold - a plaid coat from Zara (which my friend already owns) and a red and black plaid Marc Jacobs coat from decadestwo. I might go back for the Marc Jacobs one, but I would really prefer a different color.

Well, NY's Fashion Week, showed me so inspiration for next season, so I'm going to keep my fingers crossed and hopefully I'll find something that fits well.
