spring is here...

...and that mean's time to prepare for some rainy days. I've already shared my love of Hunter Boots here. Next comes the trench. The one good thing about trench coats is that they never go out of style. This season they just happen to be everywhere. Personally, I'm loving it...here are some wonderful choices.

Nordstrom has a wide selection, some of my picks are the very classic looking Calvin Klein in stone, the Ellen Tracy in yellow, and the MICHAEL Michael Kors in khaki.







Now, you know I had to put the trench coat icon that is Burberry...and how adorable is Emma Watson. LOVE her as the face of their new campaign.



Just in case you already own a trench and are looking for another rainy day coat. I have the North Face Grace jacket in black, and I absolutely adore it.



Slip on a trench coat and some galoshes and go jump in some puddles.

shopbop lovin'

I could (and have) spend hours on Shopbop...it has amazing designers, well known and up and coming. It also has fantastic tools that help you keep track of your favorite designers and favorite pieces. One of my absolute favorites is Rebecca Taylor...what I would do to fill my closet with her...





If I haven't already said it, Marc Jacobs is a brilliant man. He has an amazing collection every season. I prefer the Marc by Marc Jacobs line because it is more affordable and a little more for every day wear. Not to mention his collection includes everything from handbags to jewelry to party dresses...

OSCAR

So I did not get a chance to watch the Oscars...however, I did scour the internet the following day to drool over all the fashion. Above(and below) is Rachel McAdams in an Elie Saab Haute Couture dress that I am in LOVE with...

The Sartorialist is a blog that everyone should know, regardless of how important fashion is to you. I adore Scott Schuman, he is a phenomenal photographer and he has an amazing eye for style. And I don't mean style as in the newest trend, but he can look at someone and see their personal style and appreciate all the little details. It also doesn't hurt that he is very sexy. Every time I look at his blog I pull my favorite photos out and here are some of them.


...love the sundress (and the dog of course)



I'm always searching for that perfect black bag, just like this one...



The demin shirt, the shoes, the scarf...I wish all men could pull this off.



Ohhhh that Chanel bag is to die for. literally.



Same girl as the first photo, impeccable style.



Oh those strong shoulders. I'm swooning a bit.



She's not as sweet as Whitney but Olivia P sure knows how to dress.



Love the layering.



The best kind of arm candy.



...LOVE the nude heels. They make the outfit amazing. I need some. ASAP.



I love how she can pull off the shorts with heels.



I mean how adorable is this man. Not too mention he has great style.



Not sure why this pic is so big but regardless, I love all the grey.
