I know this might be the wrong season but I'm just a little tired of seeing only winter things. And besides there's nothing wrong with bringing in Spring a little early.

(Yep, that girl wearing chiffon and sandals, shivering in the snow is me.)

I love how the red looks with the neutrals. Red can always be worn with black for a sharp wintry look. But there's nothing that brings out the red in red, more than wearing it with soft blush colors. These Jimmy Choo strappy sandals are a pair I've been coveting for a while. Accessorize with gold to match the brown undertone of the neutrals. Pile on the gold cuffs, bangles and necklaces. And a pair of chunky vintage clip-on studs.

SEEN THIS BEFORE...

I was clicking through WWD's photos on Facebook today, and came across this look by Lanvin for Fall 2012. I always hear that black and white seems boring, and "playing it safe", but the reality of it is that it always looks good, no matter what. It reminded me of a look we put together for BV, so I decided to try one of those "Get This Look!" posts. Truth is, it's a "Get This Look, First!" post, because Lanvin's look isn't even in stores yet. Nanananana.

What are you wearing to the New Year's Party?

Well, I've been elbowing my way around Barney's and Bloomingdales this past week to find the perfect dress. But, instead I came up with these Alexander Wang heels, and I knew immediately that the right dress for them had to be vintage.

This white lace dress is the perfect match to the starkness of the Wangs, and the dress itself is square enough to sneak out of looking pretentious.
