Friday Favorites #40

I'm itching for spring to arrive, and although it's been in the single digits this past week, the light in the early evenings and the sound of birds chirping in the morning makes me believe that it's on its way!  Plus, there's another important sign: new spring arrivals!  As (almost) always, this week's Friday Favorites selections include oodles of kitsch and a plethora of pastels.

All of these dresses are from Nasty Gal, and they are seriously killing it with their new pretty pastel offerings.  I especially love the last dress ("g") , since it's actually a birthday balloon print (if you look closely)!  But they're all really romantic -- if not a little bare.  :)

I think it's also plain to see that I am especially smitten with anything pink lately...

These two blush pink dresses are so breathtaking!

These picture frames are so delicate and lovely!  I don't have any framed photos in my room anymore (a breakup casualty), but these make me want to change that!

These minty, heart-heeled shoes are so sweet!

Talking about things I "heart"... I absolutely freaked out when I saw these new Betsey Johnson novelty purses.  The ice cream cones are divine (though completely impractical), and I need the vinyl record one!  Someone even pointed out that there are little gold music notes on the shoulder strap!  I think that as the daughter of former rock stars (kind of), if anyone should own that bag, it is I.

More novelty purses!  Kate Spade always has amazing ones, and these new ones are so summery!

Wouldn't the lemon bag go perfectly with this darling citrus print dress?

I'm always a sucker for food-themed clothing and accessories, and if I still had pierced ears, I'd definitely want these cherry earrings!

This lunch bag reminds me of The Very Hungry Caterpillar!

These sunglasses are incredible.  I could never justify spending that much on sunglasses, but they have little mini cakes and petit fours and goodies all along the rims!!!  Ahhh!!

Speaking of goodies, I love both of these baked-good-shaped housewares!  The cupcake is a cookie jar, and the tower of donuts can be either a stool or a table!

Charlotte Olympia makes lots of shoes and accessories that look good enough to eat, but I'm actually really enamored with the new sewing-themed collection:

They make me think of this great Bernie Dexter dress, which has old dress patterns as the print:

I also adore these other comically-good items from Charlotte Olympia:

These heels have Betty on one side and Veronica on the other!

And of course, these two clutches are on my in-my-dreams-wish-list:

one // two

Finally... I am absolutely OBSESSED with this Rachel Antonoff sweatshirt from Emerging Thoughts.  I never thought I'd consider buying a sweatshirt for $80, but IT HAS A BRILLIANT GAME OF MASH ON IT.  Plus, it's pink and would go perfectly with my Rachel Antonoff oxfords (they're pink and mint with yearbook signatures on them).  It makes references to Jonathan Taylor Thomas and The Babysitters Club.  What more could you possibly want in a top?! 

Also, Walt Jr. (I mean, Flynn) is now modeling for The Gap.

Have a fantastic Friday!

Friday Favorites #38

Friday Favorites are back this week -- with a vengeance!  Two of my biggest obsessions lately are novelty purses and monochromic pastels.  Neither of these are especially new obsessions, but I've found myself incorporating them into my outfits way more often these days.  I'm absolutely obsessed with these novelty purses that I found:  

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7

Blush pink will always be one of my favorite colors, and I love when I find novelty purses in the same shade to compliment the pretty, feminine options I often see in this tone!  I actually have the perfume bag below in black (that color is on sale, so I figured I'd snag it), but I think the pink is way prettier.  It comes in a beautiful light blue, too!  Aldo's been killing it with their novelty purses lately (and they've been selling out quite quickly, so I'd say to act fast if you want one)!  And of course, I'm always yearning for spring, and pastel pink is the perfect springy hue.

a // b // c // d // e // f // g // h

I love how these boots by Iron Fist have such sweet colors but have a totally gruesome design!  It's such a great juxtaposition (though I don't know if I'd have the *guts* to wear them... tee hee):

But I would love to wear these incredible clip-on earrings (they're made by the same brand as some of the novelty purses above)!  If only they weren't astronomically expensive... The first pair are little champagne bottles and the second are mascara tubes!

And of course, I'm completely enthralled by this telephone skirt (and I caved and ordered it)!  I just hope it's as cute in person!  I have so many telephone accessories with which to wear it... :)

Or maybe I'd pair it with this retro sweater, just for the heck of it:

This little yellow scalloped satchel is SO sweet!

And speaking of sweet, this cropped donut tee takes the cake:

...Or maybe this sweater does:

UNICORN SHOES!!!  I think that's all I need say.

And finally, speaking of shoes... I just love this poster of The Many Shoes of Carrie Bradshaw's Closet!  I'm a stereotypical Sex & the City fan, and I'd definitely be the type to have this hanging up!  You can get it here, along with tons of other great prints!

Have a fantastic Friday!
