Matthew Williamson has once more stolen my heart with both hands via 2010 resort. His mastery of high-saturation is so exotic.

Listed, the elements he uses sound like they’d be too much (furs, metallics, neon colors, animal prints, embellishment and beading) but when you see the garments, it’s always a seamless, well formulated moment of beauty.

A trip to Net-A-Porter sends one in to an immediate dizziness of “wish I had an extra 5k sitting around that needed spending”…

And because I was feeling inspired by all of this beauty, here are some recent pages from my collage & sketch book:

I spent the other day second-hand shopping at Beacon’s Closet in Park Slope. Found some minty, thrifty cute things to play with in the dressing room but left empty handed. Each of these items are charming in their own right, but don’t really fit into my wardrobe right now. That dancing-people print, though!

Yigal’s sense of super-luxe is unrivaled this season, from flawlessly draped jersey to structural, dynamic jackets–harmonized by a neutral color palette that’s sophisticated and smooth, with vibrant splashes of turquoise and navy.

And I love this recent revival in head-wraps and luxe turbans. Click to see the full collection.

Here’s to a stylish spring!

Metallics are the ticket! Nothing makes an outfit pop like a few hints of silver, gold, and bronze. I bought a necklace and bracelet set to go with my new metallic sandals. Once you start piling on those glints of light, it’s hard to stop.

I finally saw the view from atop the Empire State building the other night. It totally blew my mind. Highly recommended, even if you’re a total New Yawkah.

I also got some cool new white heart shaped frames on St. Marks! Score.

Officially prepared for Spring…
