Love blues. Especially Royal Blue. This is a fabulous, drool-worthy post!

I saw a girl walking down the street yesterday as I was driving past, had on all black, incl. gorgeous black hair, and this vibrant royal blue coat. Even though coat weather is comin obselete here in Vancouver (yay for Spring!), I immediately thought I might hit up F21 for something similar.

I also bought a pair of Marc Jacobs wedges with royal blue velvet straps - going to pick them up at the post office today :)

Seeker said...

AsianCajuns said...

Those Marc Jacobs shoes totally scare me, but I love all the other pieces. I haven't really experimented with blue too much, maybe that'll be my color for the season ;).

Secretista said...

I wonder if blue is the color of the season? I think it might be black.

I adore the Anya Hindmarch straw clutch. But that Christian Lacroix Couture hair is also breathtaking - though I can't say that I would even attempt to pull it off.

Paul Pincus said...

SO beautiful.

christian lacroix is such a genius with colour! the lacroix couture is STUNNING : ) i think some of us are a little guilty of undervaluing his contribution to art/fashion.
