A few things that I want, or NEED in my life to get this Spring Season started right!

is plaid still as rad in '10?

We've seen plaid in store-font windows and mannequins and on the 12 year old neighborhood kid pushing around his skateboard, so has this trend been overdone? Most would say yes, especially after the tartan plaid has saturated the american eagle's and the hot topics and the like. I was definitely one to fully embrace the plaid, when it first made it's appearance, or re-appearance after the grunge era, but is it still fashion forward and can you still make a statement fully clad or minimally accessorized in plaid? Let's take a look at a few ways to wear this and still look le magnifique and relevant in twentyten!

the look

I used this photo in a post a few weeks back, but while looking at other style sites and fashion blogs for inspiration, nothing seems to stand out to me more. I keep coming back to her and everytime, I'm as inspired and impressed by how effortlessly, cool and chic she looks. In my opinion, this is "the look." The end of the winter and as we transition into spring, this could be the perfect uniform, a light sweater, a printed scarf, slacks or pants and the quintessential bootie, or oxford -et voila!

2009 was a year of changes, connections and lost connections with friends near and far, new jobs and new experiences, move-ins and move-outs, the realization of on-going love, and most of all missing certain cities so much and missing the creativity and inspiration they once filled you with. Here's a look back at the great things in 2009 (some 07/08) that brought me huge inspirations, and hoping that this post and the resurfacing of certain things will open the flood gates of inspiration.

As the days pass, I'll be posting photos and tid-bits or stories of everything and anything that brings me any kind of inspiration. What inspires you?

I'm not the biggest fan of the cold...or the snow, but one thing that makes this season tolerable are the fashions! Coats, scarves, gloves and booooots! L.Meester really embraces the season and looks effortlessly chic. This is one of my favorite outfits of the season so far. Now, excuse me while I go out on the hunt for a grey coat and nude ankle boots. Ciao!

Keep checking back for more winter looks and my inspirations this season!
