I ♥ Thursday {no. 20}

I'm in love with Dior's 2012 Spring collections {Both Haute Couture & Ready Wear}. It looks like the Dior house decided to take a cue from the 1950s this season.

I'm really loving Elizabeth Olsen's style. I wouldn't mind if some of the clothes she wears just appeared in my closet. *grin*

Kelly Green + Navy Blue = ♥

What are y'all loving this week?

What I'm Wearing - 1950s Spring Time

After watching the Royal Wedding this morning I was feeling inspired to dress up. I pulled my 1950s vintage dress out of my closet and thought it fitting for today.

Pearl with Floral Print Drop Earrings - Etsy Shop {won in a giveaway}

Blue Belt - Kohl's

Sandals - Steve Madden

Don't forget to check out my post on Kate Middleton's wedding dress. :)

Some Spring Favorites...

Have y'all heard the news? Anthroplogie has a Wedding line! It's called B H L D N. The line was released last week; Valentines Day to be exact. They have some really beautiful things. I mean, come on, it's apart of Anthropologie. :)

Disclaimer: When I'm showing you my favorites just remember, I don't agree with all of the necklines, or hemlines that you are going to see. Just thought I'd let you know. :)

These dresses are breathtaking. I love how unique they are. :)

They even sell coverups. Brilliant! 

THE SHOES! THE COLOR! THE DETAILS! THE VINTAGE-Y LOOK! Can you tell I adore their heels?!? ;-)

Then there is the Talbot's Spring collection. It's has such a 50s/60s vibe. I like it. I'm loving all of the longer and fuller skirts.  

Then of course, there is Anthropologie. :) One of my favorite stores for inspiration. 

I seem to have a theme going on here, it looks like I'm loving this new minty/green, yellow, pink, black, and blue. :)

What are your favorites for this Spring?

In my last few posts I've been posting larger sized pictures. Do you all like the larger size pictures, or would you rather have the old size back?

I also redid the look of the blog, again. I like changing things up. Do you like the new format? Do you like having a large blog header, or would a smaller one? 

I was asked my first question on formspring. So go check that out. You can also ask your own questions. =) If you are wondering where it is located on blog, look under "Have a question?" OK. 

It is Memorial weekend this week (in America), and I have some outfit ideas. So be on the look out for those special themed outfits. I think you all will like them. =)

What I'm Wearing - Burst of Spring Colors

Summer time is a hard season to dress for. As there are only some many ways you can wear a skirt and top, or dress. But during the Winter and Fall you can layer your clothes in so many ways. But come summer time, you want the lest amount of layers as possible. I'm starting to see how important accessories are. So last night, I put together some new outfits trying some new combination's. Let's just see, if I can keep up with the new fresh outfit inspiration all summer long. =)

Today's outfit was one of those "new" outfits I put together last night. Do you like it?

Cath Kidston - Spring/Summer Inspiration

Some how I stumbled upon Cath Kidston last year (online)...and fell right in love with her designs. They have such a vintage/whimsy feel about them...almost picture book like. I had hope to visit one of her stores while I was in London last Fall, but I just didn't find the time. Maybe next time. ;)

Here is what is inspiring me from their spring/summer collection.

 I LOVE this jean skirt and would love to make one just like it. 

How about these cherry red polka-dot wellies? Aren't they just darling? I love them!

This would be fun to recreate. Though, I don't know where I would find badges for different UK sites. :)

How cute are these vintage(y) hair-bows? And they come in three vintage colors. 

If you didn't know already, I love polka-dots! Like this dress. And look, it also comes with a matching polka-dot belt!  

What about you? What are your favorites? Or is Cath Kidston not your style? =)
