The New York spring weather has in no way been living up to my expectations. I need sun and warmth! I've been reading nonstop about the amazing weather they're having in L.A. and all I can say is I've been dreaming of California. Music festival season is right around the corner and I am dying for the
Planet Blue Coachella lookbook. I've always wanted to go to a music festival of this caliber but so far I haven't gotten the chance. Maybe next year. But for now I will live vicariously through these photos. I'm loving the denim cut-offs, flowy tops and long beaded necklaces.
Rebecca Minkoff is one of my favorite fashion designers. She started off as a luxury handbag designer and eventually returned to her original love for apparel design. Her designs are playful with a subtle edge yet still classic and cool. Her Morning After Clutch is by far my favorite bag (I have this one but with gold hardware) and I can't wait to get my hands on another one of her designs. I came across her Spring/Summer 2012 lookbook on Shopbop last week and seriously died and went to heaven. So much neon and studs and gorgeousness! I love the Neon Pink Mini M.A.C. and the Neon Yellow Flirty (both shown in the fifth photo). They're so cute and definitely right on trend, but if I'm going to splurge I might have to go with a more classic color and design like the original Classic Morning After Bag. I guess we'll see though, I do love neon. 
It goes without saying that I'm a lover of all things J.Crew, especially their sister store Madewell. A little over a year ago, Alexa Chung came out with her line for Madewell and it was to die for. She is a "cookie cutter hipster" as she calls herself. Her Fall 2011 campaign recently came out and every piece from her collection is awesome. I love the way she mixes prints and patterns that I would never put together and makes them look so effortlessly cool. These are a few photos from the lookbook. More of her collection can be seen, and bought, at
