Nicholas Kirkwood put more work into his spring collections than I've ever seen - his shoes for his own collection are sharp and angular pieces of architecture that belong in a design museum, while those for Rodarte are ornate, baroque sculptures that belong at the Met. Either way - he is truly an artist. My favorite is the sculptural wedge with an almost sky-looking print with clouds, I'd snap it up in a heartbeat. See more of Kirkwood's work here.

trend loving...abstract tops

Currently loving abstract/printed tops, specifically earthy prints in blue and neutral tones. Classic and match with everything, but add an edge.

Vince Silk and Linen Watercolor Printed Top, $195.

Helmut Lang Dune Print Tank, $150.

Chloé S/S 2011 campaign

As a lover of all things minimalist, I was obsessed the second I saw Chloé's ad campaign for next season. The styling and photography are fabulous and the first and last images have a very 60s feel that I love. The campaign, shot by David Sims and modeled by Malgosia Bela and Iselin Steiro, really demonstrates the pared-down feel of Hannah MacGibbon's collection which features a lot of beige and white ballet-inspired sportswear (with the occasional shot of black leather, of course). See more of Chloé's spring collection here.

Perfect winter style - if you can brave the cold, that is. Perfect mulberry (obsessed with that color) chunky sweater and easy waves.

Myne Spring 2011

Images from [Myne]

Easy, breezy, beautiful California girl - the quintessential wearer of LA-based label Myne's spring 2011 collection. I might be jumping the gun a little, but it's never too early to start putting together a well-edited list of must-haves for warmer weather! Over the last few weeks from my constant online shopping escapades, Myne has emerged as one of my new favorite labels - all of their pieces just look easy and effortless (not to overquote the Project Runway judges), no matter what. The yellow Lisa dress on the very left is my absolute favorite - can it please be almost time to put on sandals already?

current obsession

You know when you find a trend you love more than anything and decide not to spend money on it because you're afraid it'll go out of style too quickly? Me neither....at least in the case where I make the firm, self-confident decision that it'll be an investment piece that will last forever. Being from NYC, my wardrobe generally consists of black, black, black, a little bit of gray thrown in front time to time, and some more black. That's why the CC Skye Onie Messenger Bag in black python is absolutely perfect - it's large enough to hold everything I need (which includes at least 3 magazines at a time) but not overwhelmingly so, has gorgeous texture and hardware but still matches everything with its neutral color and doesn't go overboard, and has a handle for being professional but also a messenger strap for running to class. All in all, in the month I've had this bag, I've taken it absolutely everywhere with me - and don't foresee it changing at all in the near future.

Also, it's Olivia Palermo-approved: if she took it everywhere running from show to show during NY Fashion Week, you know something's perfect.
