What I Want to Look Like This Spring

Isn't this photo just dreamy?  Something about it makes me want to crawl inside and live in it (the way I wanted to live inside the J. Crew catalog when I was in college).  I love the stark environment, I love the dreamy look in her eye, I love her dress.  It's almost more of a feeling than anything else, but I just want to get close to the picture.  So, I guess that means I want that dress?

Next up is this Celine outfit.  Peplums are big for Spring, and this combination of flowy pants and peplum top, all in white just speaks to me (as does nearly everything Pheobe Philo does, save this).  If I had to choose only one designer to wear for the rest of my days it would be Celine by Phoebe Philo (as long as she's there... otherwise it might be whatever else she does next).  I love the minimalism enhanced by amazing details that she's done at Celine.  And white nearly always feels right for Spring/Summer.

Finally, there's this Thakoon number.  I love the print on top, and the bold mixing of prints PLUS metallic at the bottom of the hem.  I'd never be able to pull off the Periwinkle hair (nor would I try, and frankly, neither would Jackie), but I'd do just about anything else in that color, because I think that (despite all the black, white, and grey in my closet, this is secretly my favorite color on some subconscious level).  

So there you have it-- my current dream outfits for Spring 2012.  But because I am, at heart, an accessories gal, let me leave you with this:
