since fashion week has started, i’m sure you’ve seen some sneak peeks of what i’ve been up to on tumblr, twitter, and instagram. but today i’m excited to begin sharing some of the photos i’ve been taking at the shows. one of my favorites so far was the jill stuart spring 2012 show. after having been mildly obsessed with the fall and resort collections, i was a little concerned that i’d built up the spring show too much in my mind. but once i saw the first look walk down the runway (see: the nude and red palm tree dress with a pleated and scalloped hem) i knew i was in for a treat. i loved the sort of art deco floridian theme with the palm tree motif and excellent colors. the pink and green in particular reminded me of the colors you might see in my great aunt’s bathroom, and i mean that in the best way possible. but besides the show-stopping colors, i loved the quilted jackets, which reminded me of glamorous vintage sleepwear, and i even caught a glimpse of what looked like little retro faces on the print of a dress. and of course, the gold details on the shoes and the perfectly messy side swept hair completed the looks. another collection well-done that i will be turning to for inspiration for months to come!
all photos were taken by me.

glorious! so refreshing! love!!
Great photos! I love the red and tan dress, too! And the blue and nude palm tree print! Thanks for sharing this.
Jill Stuart is quickly becoming one of my favourite designers. It started with her fox and owl print dresses for fall, but what has won me over completely are what you mentioned – the pleated AND scalloped skirt. Perfect! I loved them.
i love the side swept faux bangs! i can’t wait for my bangs to grow out so i can do that with my hair.
Oh my goodness. I’m in love with EVERYTHING about these looks. A wonderful mix of girly, flowy .. and the hair! Great coverage.
every single items looks pretty :) love this! and the way their hair is styled as well just perfects it!!

love it, love it, love it! you’re not going to believe this but just the other day I tried on an authentic 60’s quilted sleepwear jacket, not too dissimilar to these – so cute:)
I love this collection! So many pieces I wish I could rip right off those models and wear. You got some great shots, too!
What beautiful colours, YUM.
Amazing style, I would wear all the outfits.
Wow, gorgeous! Excited to see what outfits you concoct with this as inspiration!
