Minty Fresh Fashion

Although tangerine is said to be the biggest color for Spring 2012, mint isn’t far behind…and I’m beyond obsessed. It started with this Acne sweater and led to a full blown obsession. Whether it’s a super pale green or a vibrant pastel (yes, it exists) I am absolutely loving minty fresh fashion for Spring. Who am I kidding? I’m loving it right now!

Here are some of my favorite mint finds of the moment…

The Colorful World of a PS1

If there is one bag you should invest in, it’s the Proenza Schouler PS1. Hands down. [Not just because I eat sleep breathe Jack and Lazaro] but it’s the best carryall, made with the most amazing quality materials…and it just looks awesome. In my eyes, nothing can beat this PS1 but with so many shapes, fabrics and sizes…you’re bound to find one you love.

Now PS1s aren’t just bags anymore…they’re wallets, totes, pouches etc. Exciting, right?! Check it out…

Net-a-Porter Launches Karl Lagerfeld’s New Line, KARL

If you’re Net-a-Porter obsessed like me, you probably know by now that Karl Lagerfeld is launching his accessible line, KARL, to be exclusively sold on the luxury site today!

To celebrate the launch, Net-a-Porter has gone above and beyond to make this extremely special. The coolest part is that there will be 5 pop-up window shops that will be revealed in select locations worldwide. Using the NET-A-PORTER KARL app, visitors can shop and win by scanning products using their iPhone or iPad. In addition, visitors to the window shop will receive limited edition KARL goodie bags and t-shirts, with the first 50 visitors receiving a pair of iconic KARL leather gloves or a collar from the collection. Here’s where it’s happening…

Those of us who can’t make it to one of the locations can join online at Net-a-Porter.com. You can watch exclusive video footage of Karl Lagerfeld, view the full collection for the first time and find out the winners of the “Karlified” app and ‘Find Karl’ maze game.

Printed Tights: The Ultimate Winter Accessory

Although I hate my legs, I always dread wearing tights in the winter because they seem to drag down an outfit. But of course since it’s freezing, I suck it up and do it anyway. Thankfully the hosiery companies (and even those who don’t specialize in legwear) have taken it upon themselves to make tights COOL and turn them into the ultimate winter accessory.

Just like a statement necklace can really jazz up a simple black dress, printed tights can do just the same (but it doesn’t hurt to do both, right?) With that said, I’ve scoured the internet to find my favorite tights available this season. So there’s no excuse to go bare legged when it’s 10 degrees (which happens to be one of my biggest pet peeves by the way…)

1) House Of Holland Alphabet Tights
2) Urban Outfitters Lurex Chevron Tights
3) Wolford Tiger Printed Tights
4) Topshop Pastel Tie Dye Tights
5) House Of Holland Star Tights
6) YSL Heart-Print Sheer Tights

How will you be rocking your tights this season? Have any favorites from my picks?

Currently Obsessing Over: Markus Lupfer Sweaters

Having a variety of sweaters is important during this time of year, especially in Chicago. But how many black and grey ones can you possibly own? You have to spruce it up sometimes, and Markus Lupfer does just that.

They’re random. They’re weird. But I can’t help but obsess over them.
