Let there be light

I. see. holograms. Dries Van Noten definitely got my attention with his accessories for spring. Any sort of light-capturing material can easily sway into tacky territory (I mean there are silver hologram stripper heels, ya know?), but I can def get down with Van Noten's vision. Inspired by the beautiful body of work from late Belgian painter Jef Verheyen, Van Noten pondered the ways he could capture light in his designs. This led to a beautiful palette of color, iridescent fabrics, and subtle gradations you want to just lick up. The shoes especially are what did it for me...what else can I say, they are beautiful.

Watch where you're going

Woah Pamela Love, this is LOVE. I mean, look at these heavy duty lean mean bracelets she did for next season..larger than life! Oh I'm sorry, did my pentagram movie reel bangle slice you? SO SORRY.

Greater than the sum of its parts

Here's a formula I picked up on from Acne and Minimarket that I'm loving at the moment: a single bold hue + long relaxed pieces + narrow metallic shades + platform sandals. Keep this little equation in your back pocket for spring and thank me later!

Sehnsucht

One of my favorite metropolises in the world, Berlin, hosts their Spring 2011 shows this week and I've been coming across all kinds of sweet events and parties you should not miss if you are in the German capital.
