I feel like embroidering quotes on to the back of a t-shirt would also be super cute (I feel a DIY coming on).
Me neither.

I know I posted about Kate Spade yesterday, but I like her Spring/Summer 2013 collection even more than her fall.
The collection was a perfect mix of retro vibes and modern styling with bright colors and bold patterns. I loved the Mondrian inspired prints as well.
I'm a huge fan of wristlets so of course I think that wicker apple bag is super cute. Also, I would love to own those silvery shoes.
Bows and mint are a perfect combo. This is definitely something I would wear all the time. I'm considering a diy of an old cardigan by cutting it into shrug length and adding lots of bows similar to this, but probably in pink.
I love the rubbery-looking pink basket bag. Would be so cute with a long strap as well. And the lucite necklace definitely completes the look.
Perfect pink pumps, and the suit is just adorable with that skinny pink belt.
I have a crush on this skirt. SO cute.
Perfect mix of all of my favorite colors. It's so summery and the stripes remind me of '70s polyester prints.
All pink everything is my dream.

I'm probably a little late on this, but can I just say how much I love Kate Spade? The ridiculously huge bows, bright colors, and awesomely exaggerated peplums are just fantastic.
The polka dots on these pants and her collar are just amazing. I feel like I've really been attracted to black and white prints lately.
Peplums are a trend that I hope never goes away. I definitely won't stop wearing them. I think they're pretty much universally flattering. When I'm having a bad day and don't know what to wear, a peplum is a quick way to make an outfit better without even really trying.

Saw these photos by Nick Knight of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian for L'Officiel Homme.
The lighting on Kanye is amazing.
The photos with Kim are strictly black and white but are just as beautiful.

Marina Diamandis (Marina and the Diamonds) rocks pink so well. I want to own everything she wears.

Pastels
Seriously can't stop thinking of spring. Around this time last year I was already wearing shorts and had put my winter coat in the back of my closet. Even though its pretty much freezing outside, I don't think its ever too cold to wear pastels and florals. Here's some images from my tumblr that inspire me all year.

I realize its probably a wig, but this girl seriously has my dream hair, if only I had the guts to actually do it.

I'm assuming this still is from a movie, if anyone has seen it please let me know.

Another girl with amazing dream hair. I'm a natural blonde who dyes her hair red and sometimes think of having blonde hair again.

Aaron Smith has an absolutely amazing style and paints with thick and bold strokes of oil paint in hallucinatory colors. I'm not much of a painter, but his work is so inspiring. I would love to own a print of his work one day.
His artist statement:
The Victorian/Edwardian eras have always captured my attention. For years I’ve collected vintage photographs of men of the period. These men for me represent a masculine ideal, if largely a constructed one. Their bearded faces and distinguished attire are spectacular, while their stiff poses and serious expressions belie a certain vulnerability. My recent decision to translate these small colorless photographs into monumental, expressionist portraits is an attempt to ruminate on these contradictions. I also want to draw parallels between the rituals of initiation found in western culture and those practiced in tribal cultures by painting these gentlemen with colors inspired by Bird-of-Paradise and the extravagantly decorated Huli Wigmen of Papua New Guinea.
