swedish hasbeens spring 2011

i’m sure you’ve all been hearing about the new collaboration between swedish hasbeens and h&m. when i saw the articles floating around, i was happy to hear that they’d be offering their shoes at a more affordable price point, but mostly, i was interested to see what styles they’d be rolling out on their regular line this spring. and while i was browsing the site for a pair of jodhpurs, i discovered that they’ve already started releasing their spring 2011 collection. in addition to several new vintage-inspired 1930’s styles, they have also added new color ways to their more classic models. i love them all so much, i can’t decide which pair i want the most.

i must admit, i’m starting to fret a bit about my upcoming trip to new york fashion week, so i’ve been paying extra attenting to all of my favorite blogs to find inspiration: vanessa jackman, cafe mode, street peeper, jen loves kev, gargyle blog, and team peter stigter.

yeye! style blog, the time is grey, the fashionist, and stockholmstreetstyle. and as always, you can follow my tumblr to view a feed of everything that catches my eye around the web.

the loved one

a while back, i posted about a kickstarter project started by hannah (of hannah and landon) and her partner elvia. they were seeking out funding for their upcoming vintage-inspired lingerie line, the loved one. needless to say, the project was a success, so i thought it would only be fitting to post a follow-up and share the collection with you, which is available for pre-sale right now!

i’m smitten with each and every piece, and with such reasonable prices, i might have to go and buy them all! though i will say my favorites are the agony of love and sin in the suburbs.

sretsis aw 2011

while browsing the web the other day, i came across the sretsis southern hemisphere aw 2011 collection titled  “weekend warriors.” and from the looks of it, it’s appears as though it’s my fair lady meets the little mermaid.  this combination of fancy, frilly dresses with seashell embellishments and gigantic hats has a way of awakening my inner child in the best way possible! if i could choose one piece from the collection it would have to be shameena dress at the top left. unfortunately, it’s up for pre-sale and already sold out, as are most of these pieces on the maximillia website.  it’s too bad that i didn’t find out about this collection sooner, and that money doesn’t grow on trees!

style is style

today i wanted to take a moment to appreciate another one of my absolute favorite bloggers: lydia of style is style.  two years ago, when i first started sharing outfit pictures online, lydia was one of the first outfit bloggers that i discovered, and i’ve been a fan ever since.  i was immediately drawn to her fearless style and ability to work with any color under the sun.  she is a major inspiration for me, and i love checking her blog for all of her new outfits.  not only that, but she has the most infectious smile ever! 
almost a year ago, i actually had the opportunity to meet lydia during new york fashion week.  i still remember coming out of the elevator and stepping out into the lobby.  the moment i saw her, i squealed and ran over to give her a big hug.  and that was our first introduction.  she’s just as awesome as you might imagine browsing through the pages of her blog.  and that’s what i wanted to share today!

primark spring 2011

i know, i know.  it’s snowing in many parts of the world right now and we still have a few more months of winter here in the northern hemisphere, but it’s never too soon to start thinking about the season ahead! i just came across some images from the primark spring 2011 lookbook that got me pretty excited about collecting pieces for the warmer months.  too bad i won’t be able to get my hands on any of these pieces here in the u.s., but at least i can admire them from afar.
