COLORS
This past spring I was a bit frustrated with how I could not seem to develop a liking for the floral patterns and bursts of what I like to call "Easter colors" coming out from all the ready-to-wear lines. Everyone else was buying the latest summer dresses and floral tops, and all I wanted to wear was black, gray, and white.
However, I recently rekindled my love for colors when I looked at the colors that were being used abroad. They're not exactly "Easter pastel", but they're also not neon bright. They're the perfect combination of warms and cools that made me find a new appreciation for colorful apparel.
This top is by A.P.C., a very cool line in France that never disappoints me. The website is www.apc.fr.

Jane Mayle Dresses

Jane Mayle dresses

I've become really obsessed with this designer recently. She is known for creating artistically intricate pieces and paying particular attention to details in her garments. The dress shown here, for example, has a zipper that opens up only to reveal more fabric underneath the garment. I also love the way the dress is all black and white except for the colorful, floral neck lining. The designer has a shop in Little Italy of New York City, and it's kind of hard to find her stuff anywhere else but Ebay.

Feather Headbands

These make me want to channel my inner flapper/hippie. We came across some like these at Parts & Labour in Austin, but they are also all over Etsy. The elegant example pictured here is made by Feather Brain. Check out her Etsy shop.

I prefer the style worn behind the ears to the ones worn around the crown  because these look good with any hair style and on a wider age range. Although the thin band crown style headband is charming, it's hard to pull this off unless you have very  long hair (and are under 25).
