Linda Farrow x Prabal Gurung Sunglasses

I have been stalking these since the day they hit the runway (hmmm seems to be a pattern) and now the Linda Farrow x Prabal Gurung sunglasses are finally available!

Seen throughout Prabal’s GENIUS Spring 2012 collection, these sweet sunnies are available in 4 different colors on the Linda Farrow site.

Because I’m a sucker for purple, I knew these had to be mine…

And thankfully they will be. A simple *add to cart* and these babies will be traveling across the pond to my front door in no time. Can’t wait to share pics once I get them!

Currently Obsessing Over: My Moda Operandi Wishlist

It’s no secret that I am absolutely obsessed with the only website where you can literally buy straight from the runway–Moda Operandi. Check out your favorite looks on Style.com and buy them a few days later on Moda Operandi…can it get any better? Now that’s fashion forward!

Here are the pieces I’m loving from the currently available Fall 2012 collections on Moda Operandi.

PhotobucketMary Katrantzou

Mary Katrantzou is a designer who has intrigued me the last few seasons. Basing your brand on these crazy prints is quite a risk…but there’s people like me who can’t get enough of them! So, does anyone have $31,000 to spare so I can get this dress? 🙂

Helmut Lang

May or may not have already ordered these leggings already…

Proenza Schouler

It’s Proenza…need I say more? Okay I will. That jacket will one day be mine (even if I have to do questionable things to obtain it).

Peter Pilotto

If I can no longer get my hands on Proenza Spring ’10 (best. collection. ever.) Peter Pilotto Fall 2012 is the next best thing. The colors and prints are incredible and I’m loving everything about this outfit.

PhotobucketFendi Ski

Haven’t been skiing in a while, but I’d definitely reconsider if I get to wear Fendi.

Sweet Kicks: Sneakers For Spring

Although it’s a trend that’s not really my style, I do appreciate a well-pulled off sneaker. It’s a more casual alternative to flats or flat boots, but if you’ve taken a look at any of the more recent sneaker designs, they can sure make a statement. I have to say though, I’m not loving wedge sneakers…they remind me of JLo from her “Jenny From The Block” days, and why would we ever want to relive the fashions of 2002? So anyway…

With the Isabel Marant ‘Willow’ Sneakers totally being the new Miu Miu glitter booties of the season, see what sweet sneaks I’m loving for Spring.
