Can we talk about a few things that are blowing my mind? For starters, and most obviously, this collection. Incredible. McQueen is known for bringing the mind-bogglingly intricate “how can this even be real?” detail, and nope, no disappointment for the spring 2012 collection. Just pure art from head to toe. Wowzers, Sarah Burton, you are knocking this out of the park time and time again. What a talent. That orange number? I have no words. I very vocally dislike orange, but man, it’s like like my whole belief system is falling apart! What is up? What is down? I don’t even know any more. All I know is: a) wow, b) WOW, and c) WOOOOW!
That’s all I’ve got. Baring some minor incoherent babbling above, I’m speechless from prettiness.

Chanel’s spring collection… Let’s talk details! Because they bring some serious pretty. The clothing on the whole is very obvious Chanel, but it’s the details that are breathing some new and exciting (aquatic) life into the collection.
Tell me I’m not the only one loving the mermaid vibe here. Beautiful, luxurious, sophisticated mermaid, that is. Nothing seaweed-y here. Just pure elegance. Gauzy fabrics, delicate pearls, seashell clutches, reflective sequins, slicked back “wet” hair buns, coral inspired jewelry. I love how all of these elements came together and touched on the sea theme without beating you over the head with it. It’s very polished and graceful, true to the Chanel vision. But it’s also kind of spunky! Who didn’t dream of being a beautiful mermaid when they were growing up? Once again, Chanel continues to make the dream a reality.

Sometimes you just need to look at pretty things. And I just can’t take my eyes off Jill Stuart’s spring 2012 collection. It’s just so pretty. Sweet. Simple. Lovely. Feminine. Nostalgic. Darling. Choose your adjective. Further evidence that I’m a total girly girl. This collection oozes ice creamy shades, minimalistic shapes, with a hint of a doll-like aesthetic. Sign me up.
