Brand Spanking New For Spring 2011Well I don't care! I know it's the middle of winter but I'm thinking Spring! And I'm in a buying mood for some saucy and chic womens spring styles for Spring 2011. I started looking at the runway reports from last Fall for the current crop of women's clothes for the current season and while I'm interested to see what the front line is up to this year, I'm pretty much dressing the way I want and feel this time around (what's new, eh?). And some of my favorite designers are cooperating by offering women's spring dresses, pants, shorts, tops and shoes that turn me on (and are also in with the fashion trends) and that's all that matters, isn't it? I'm such a trendsetter! After the winter we have had, I'm in need of some cheer and warmth and I need this Spring. Might as well start shopping and be ready for better weather. Oh and I just have to get me some new women's spring shoes this year. All mine are really beat! Sometimes, I'll order from a Spring Catalog and get caught by subsequent unavailability but that's a risk I'll have to take. I'm working my way through my favorites.
Nordstrom's is still top of my list and I start with their via C collections which are the newer designers. I've been pretty lucky there and have felt, if not in the forefront, at least up-to-date. Take a look at these for instance and tell me if you don't get excited. Alice +Olivia - what better? I spotted this dress right off the bat. Stunning! 'Bree' One Shoulder Dress. A dusky print is splashed across a silk one-shoulder dress, expertly pleated and drawn to an asymmetrically draped finish at one side. Side zip closure. Lined.Silk. Listed by Nordstrom as item # 342756 and priced at $495. It's in the pre Spring collection and has to be put on order. Once it arrives, head for town and a hot lunch date. No, sorry can't help you with that. I'm not a dating service! That's number one. Here's another from the 2011 Spring Collection. 3.1 Philip Lim Rope Trim Stripe Dress. Earthy rope trims the collar and wraps the waist of a vertically striped dress fashioned from a breezy blend of cotton and silk in Graphite. Silk lining. Cotton/silk. Item # 342770 and the price is $325. Get on it now!
Well that's just a small sample but if you look at these, it'll whet your appetite and you'll be prepared to spend more time looking. Don't just look though, start buying and get ready for an exciting year. |
