"Then, Brutus, I have much mistook your passion;
By means whereof this breast of mine hath buried
Thoughts of great value, worthy cogitations.
Tell me, good Brutus, can you see your face?"

Julius Caesar – Act 1, Scene 2. Lines: 53-56

things of beauty, thoughts of spring.

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Some coworkers and I went off to Old Orchard mall this morning for a shop-the-competition (you may remember a previous post similar to this one) and I thought I'd share some yummy tidbits with you. Whoever 'you' are, reading this here blog post. Anyway.


These are some LOVELY bags by Vince Camuto... sumptuous leather (in black, grey, and orchid, oh my!) with a flower detail, carrying handles AND crossbody straps. Friggin delicious. Yes please. That's about $400 worth of "yes please" but whatever.


Kate Spade! For the most part, I was uninterested, but that rolled up newspaper there? THAT'S A CLUTCH. A clutch that looks like a rolled up newspaper. KATE, you genius, WHAT A CRAZY IDEA! I love it.


Aaaaand now for a little ditty from J Crew. Spring 2011 is going to be freaking YUMMY as far as J Crew is concerned. Talk about pops of color and updated classics. I am hankering for this schoolboy blazer and watercolor scarf. Please please please, I beg of you, oh little brother who works at J Crew, obtain for your sister! Just too marvelous for words. Also the following flats should be on my feet, like, stat:

...and this gorgeous ensemble... SO MUCH ORANGE (butIcan'thelplovingitttt)...


YES, J Crew, yes to all of the above. I am totally on board. Especially because my brother has a discount. Yeeeeesssssss. Anyway, on we went, towards Anthropologie (which we all know is my personal Shangri-La), but were interrupted by THIS!



LIKE OMG. Have I mentioned yet that I'm on this show?! I was an extra in the season finale. But you'll definitely see me. By God, you'll see me. *shakes fist*

Annnnnd THEN we went to Anthro. Which was overhwelmingly delicious as usual. But these two were standouts. Duh.


Blue and yellow polka dots by Girls From Savoy. So 40's/50's. I can't even stand it.


And yellow and white from Moulinette Soeurs. Like, damn, how do these designers KNOW what my brain thinks up?!

This lovely number by Diane Von Furstenberg is silk with a watercolor splash pattern. I lurve this watercolor thing we're doing. It's on almost everything this spring, and I LURVE it.


And to finish today's fashion blurb up, I purchased the upcoming season's go-to color (most people are calling it honeysuckle, FYI) in a nail polish by Essie (found at J Crew, $8) and painted my nails on my lunch break! Hoorah!


And that's all for now. Pretty colors, ahoy! Is it spring yet?
