Better Late than Never

So, I know that I am months behind the Spring RTW Fashion shows, but honestly, it's really hard for me to look forward to spring until after Christmas. (Good thing I don't work in retail.) Now that the season has ended, and Christmas decorations have found their home in plastic totes, I can look forward to the lovely patterns and colors of spring. Some of my favorite places to look?

Anna Sui for bold colors and fun patterns. 

Richard Chai for interesting texture and color combinations. 

Nanette Lepore for distinctly feminine silhouettes. 

Marc Jacobs for, well, just being Marc Jacobs.

Now, if only the humid, rainy excuse for winter in Georgia would make way for sunny, spring days...

A Little Something Pretty No. 132: Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs has been a long-time love of mine, especially when it comes to dresses. His Spring 2009 collection mixes bold prints and patterns to create that distinctive MJ look. I love the use of the wide wrapped fabric working as a belt, especially in patterns that aren't found anywhere else on the garments. Below are a few jems of the Spring 2009 collection from NY Fashion Week. Enjoy!
