Stella McCartney Resort 2011

In an interview with Stella McCartney at her Spring 2011 presentation last Wednesday, New York fashion director Harriet Mays Powell discovered the designer's hatred for the word 'resort'.“How unsexy is that word? Does anyone even use the word 'resort'?" the designer asked the editrix. "Even people that have resorts. We call it spring.”

McCartney describes her new collection as “hopeful and uplifting." "[We were] trying to keep the same language we had in the show with all the flowers and all the whites, just to make it really pure and sharp.”

Check out the video below to see the looks and watch Stella's models dance and play chess. Ooh that's so resort--err, spring-like.

Saturday Shows Signs of Shopping

*This weekend, check out these nautical (booty) shorts at Zara.

Here's a shitty image of my pair:


I actually bought my in a "small" because I'm little in the middle but I got much back as Sir Mix A Lot would so eloquently say if he was in the dressing room with me. For someone like me whose hips don't lie, I was weary about the stripes but whatever, I'm going to rock them anyway. And for $39, I really don't give a shit.

**Another awesome purchase might be a paper lantern from Jonathan Adler.


Great way to add color to a room, plus it's super cheap. I still haven't figured out how to actually get a light bulb through the lantern so in the meantime it's just floating like a some meteoric orb that's now floating in lavender-colored office. My husband thinks it looks weird but I think it looks tripendicular and it's my fucking room so he can just buzz off. $7.95, dear reader.

***Lastly, this Sunday's New York Times Style Magazine has a round-up story, highlighting the perennial favorite: blue and white china. Featuring variations on the theme from notables like Brooklyn's Future Perfect and national chain Anthropologie, I actually prefer the set that I bought at Crate & Barrel which I mix and match with a few Tiffany porcelain pieces I got through my wedding registry:


Next week tip: If you're in New York City April 23rd and 24th, check out the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show at Metropolitan Pavilion. I bought a 1960 gold and green lucite Napier necklace for $90 that eventually became the essential piece in my wedding ensemble last July.
