    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 :)

    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.
