We're Reading: Skirts, Shirts, & Kitsch

Posted by Claire | Thursday January 20, 2011

Last week we were crushing on winter skirts but today it's all about what's new for Spring.

Jil Sander, Moschino, Vena Cava

Couture Carrie pulls a few sizzling looks from the Spring/Summer 2011 shows and asks - do you love a long skirt for spring?

DaFashionista, on the other hand, combed the shops last weekend for a pleated pleather skirt and polka dotted top combo from her lust list.

ImABeautyGeek accidentally-on-purpose nipped into Browns to goggle at Marc Jacobs whimsical flats (yeah, we know the feeling).

Under the category of "Things I Don't Remotely Need But Now Suddenly Very Much Want To Have" shall now be placed these kitschy-cute birch coasters (left) featured by Gifted in the shape of the city of Toronto (other cities also available).

Then Kim Vallee introduced us to this pineapple corer/peeler/slicer doomahickey (right) which, while admittedly a one-purpose tool, is something I now really need want.
