Stella McCartney, RST12.
The recent Stella McCartney Resort collection for 2012 contains a vibrant mix of beautiful tailored details and vibrant holidays prints. Palm tree brooches adorn neat blazers, while long length dresses and oversize tops and skirts provide the perfect canvas for symmetrical hibiscus scenes, ocean prints, and bold beach chair stripes.
The two sides to the collection play off each other well - the archetypal holiday prints appear more grown up in the context of the elegant and modest shapes, and the tailoring is artfully cropped at the wrist and ankle to give it an air of nonchalance.

Somebody left a suggestion to post Antigone, daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta from the incestuous Greek tragedy Oedipus. But, Oedipus was a little heavy for a Wednesday morning, wouldn’t you say? For those readers who haven’t hit Greek mythology in their required high school reading, just you wait—it’s awesome. As a compromise for this suggestion, I’m posting Calliope, one of the eight muses. She’s the muse of epic poetry and most famous for being the inspiration behind The Odyssey. Well, if you’re going to inspire some of the greatest stories of all time…you better have the style to back it up, can I get some Proenza up in here? Yes, yes I can.

3. Ugh, none of the other muses are on tumblr, they’re so 2000-and-late.

My oh my, I seem to be doing a lot of “fashion blogger hair push” in these photos. Whatever, let’s not focus on that obvious cliche and instead please turn your attention to the awesomeness of this shirt. I love a good backless shirt and am so excited to finally bust this one out, which I did for a recent lunch date with Jason. We ate at our favorite Lebanese restaurant, Sitti, and then spent a few minutes walking around different parts of downtown.
We saw the most beautiful church (below) that I had never really noticed before. The gates to the gardens of the church were locked. I tried to convince Jason that we should just hop the fence and go exploring, but in the end we decided that trespassing on church property is probably not a good idea. I hope you got that moral and pious decision down in your books, Big Guy!
