More love for BLACK & WHITE

A few spring styles worth checking out...

Giuseppe Zanotti

Nicole Brundage

Alessandro Dell'acqua

Yves Saint-Laurent

Marc Jacobs Multi Material Sandals

These sandals may be too heavy on the texture, even for me. Yes, I said it.

That doesn't mean I'd turn them away if they showed up at my doorstep. Check them out at LUISAVIAROMA for the full 360 degree view. The detail is pretty amazing.

So, how did it happen I found more black and white pieces than bright colored ones... hmmm...

Spring Dress Round Up, pt.1

The best part about spring is the sprouting green grass, the bright tulips, and the blissful sunshine warming your shoulders that are finally sporting a flowy sundress! I LOVE sundresses. That said, I must remain calm, because 1) it is definitely snowing in Denver right now-no green grass, tulips, or spring sunshine in sight for months, and 2) I am regrettably not a member of the Gossip Girl cast, and thus I have absolutely no place to wear two dozen fabulous spring dresses.

Sigh. Oh well, I still love to look! There's definitely occasion for a couple, right!? Isn't that why we attend weddings summer after summer...?

Behold the bold and sleeveless new arrivals! While there are many awesome brightly colored pieces, black and white has a strong presence this season. You might think you're in the wrong blog, but don't worry, it's still me... just in black and white!

Robert Rodriguez

Pheobe Couture

MARC by Marc Jacobs

Michael Kors

Issa London

Diane Von Furstenberg

Tracy Reese

Carolina Herrera

You had me at Green

I am a sucker for anything green. This season's citronella* is a very strong second. Inauguration Day did not disappoint! I especially love how the First Lady accessorized with olive J Crew gloves, and green Jimmy Choos!

On the party scene, Shakira's Oscar De la Renta dress was fabulous as well. Here she attended the Latino Inauguration Gala.

Green is the new black!

*amazingly-bright yellowy-green, aka lemongrass, chartreuse, lime, or baby-puke-yellow

Nicholas Kirkwood Heels

I'm in love.

Nicholas Kirkwood, where have you been all my life?

I heart award season!

So much fashion all in one place! Golden Globe recap:


My fav for the night: Eva Mendez



I know, I know. I was surprised with my selection too. But I just love the cleanness of this look. I love the design of the Dior dress, and the Van Cleef & Arpels necklace set off the whole look. Plus the colors on her skin look beautiful!


Runner up: Kate Beckinsale



White and nude tones were a big look for the night. Maybe I'm diggin the white thing too. But what I really love about this dress is the top. The structured piece by J Mendel is beautiful, and she wears it well.

Other favs: Evan Rachel Wood and Olivia Wilde

Texture is my theme...haven't you noticed?

Best shoes go to Heidi Klum: Christian Louboutin (who else?!)

Best accessories

Christina Applegate's necklace (Lorraine Schwartz)

Salma Hayek's boobs, because let's be honest, if you have a set like this, who looks at your necklace?

Dolce & Gabbana Spring Shoes

D & G has a glamorous spring line out for pre-order. This little Satin Wedge Sandal is amazing. Only D & G could pull off chunky and glam in the same shoe. Genius!The Split Sequined Sandal is a little blingy for my taste, but I had to show you the design of this thing! I could make an exception to my no-sequin rule for this architectural brilliance. It could be yours March 31. Check out LUISAVIAROMA for spring shoe overload.

Christian Louboutin Cancan Clutch

Christian Louboutin + Feathers = Must Have

Neiman's

Dior Rings

I'm obsessed with cocktail rings right now. Dior just released some ridiculous new pieces in November. Check them out. You have to see this collection for yourself. Flowers of all shapes, sizes, textures, some of the rosette style, as well as a few carnivorous breeds. Yes, I said carnivorous. Bees, frogs, snails, cherries, peas all decorate the diamonds, gold, gems... details, details, details...I could keep going and going...it would be faster if you just checked them out for yourself...

Dior Cutout Wedge Sandal

This rock star is from the Dior fall collection, but I think it was a bit overlooked due to the clamoring over this little number that Carrie made famous in Sex in the City. But look at these! Way too funky to ignore. The fuchsia still totally works and the zipper up the back...! It's all about the details.

Judith Leiber Collection

Judith Leiber, you go ahead and charge 4 grand for this intricate Buddha clutch because it's fabulous! And while I'm here in my little fantasy, I'll splurge on the little bird pill case too, because, well, I love little birds, and why not?

Seriously, even if you aren't a bird fan, check out her whole line at Neiman's. Cupcakes, dragons, ladybugs, or a simple animal print; whatever you fancy, she's got it.

Fab.u.lous.

D&G Floral Vine Pump

While it might be a bit early to begin thinking spring on this first day of January, I am excited to see flowers. Dolce and Gabbana are hoping I will take these with me to where ever I might go with my other "resort" clothes. Ahh, if only...
