Things I Love: Givenchy Couture S/S 2010

There were some amazing designs shown during the Couture shows last week for S/S 2010. I think my favorites were from Givenchy, a house I don't normally gravitate to.

But hello feathers and frills and a really fantastic color palette full of vibrant and rich tones.

This dress was my absolute favorite. I love the sheer and sparkling bodice and then the cascading purples down to the floor.

Go check out the rest of the collection here: http://www.wwd.com/fashion-shows-reviews/fashion-designer/givenchy-8178/givenchy-couture-spring-2010-2435232. You won't be disappointed!

Things I Want: Purple Swatch

Since I just recently wrote about my mission to buy solids, and since I have a thing for bright rubber watches, how could I resist this brilliant color palette from Swatch!

There are twenty different colors, but I think the purple (or Callicarpa as Swatch has named it) is my fav. So cute and would be a really fun accessory for a day out on the town. And at 38 EUR the price can't be beat.

Found these at Acquire (http://www.acquiremag.com/style/watches/swatch-color-codes.php) and the watches are available at colette (http://www.colette.fr/#/eshop/article/580667/swatch/53/).

Enjoy!

Things I Want: Suede shoes by Jay Kos

I'll add these great shoes by Jay Kos to my Spring wardrobe wish list. As you know I'm a big fan of color -- bright colors, crazy prints, cool patterns. In this case it's the purple and orange and lime green that caught my eye! I could see myself wearing them this summer with shorts, rolled up pants, or even to work with some slacks. I'm in!

I've included a shot here of all colors, and one of what I think are my favs... purple:
