Christmas time is here

Several times a year I try to dedicate a weekend to nothing but shopping.  This is the time I try to update my wardrobe with the current trends or hit the sale racks for a great deal on basics.

Since I reside in Oklahoma but have family in Texas, I try to make it down to Dallas or Houston for my shopping blowouts. 

This weekend I will be shopping for the following…

(Ps. click on the image to shop!)

The nude shoe.

Sandals by Jimmy Choo
Pumps by Jimmy Choo

Goes with EVERYTHING. These will be a staple in my Spring shoe rotation.

The flared jean.

Flare Denim by Citizens of Humanity
Plus Jeans by Gap

 I love this take on the bell-bottom.  Plus I think they make you look skinnier!

The cat-eye or oversized sunnies.

Sunglasses by Tom Ford
Sunglasses by House Of Harlow

A pair of sunglasses can INSTANTLY update your look.  I'm loving the current cat-eye but a large pair of over sized sunnies are always in style.

Anything ORANGE.

Cardigans by J.Crew
Satchels by Jerome Dreyfuss

 

 

Orange seems to be THE color this Spring!  

So much so, that the orange pants above are all ready sold out (guess who's on the waiting list…)

 

What Spring trends will you be shopping for, Dolls?

 

 

 

 

 

 

I must say the set designers who work on Gossip Girl are amazing.  I love to watch the show more than once to catch their eye for detail.  And being a Texas girl myself, I happen to love the Prada Marfa painting at the Bass-Humphrey residence. 

Oooh, wouldn't you just die for this apartment!!!

Most people don't know the story behind this fabulous Prada sign.  There is a tiny town in southwest Texas called Marfa, population 2,000.  Marfa is known for being where the films No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood were shot.
When most people think of Prada, they don't think of west Texas, until they see this:

 Imagine… you're driving down a dusty desert highway, and in front of you, you see a mirage.  Even better than a desert oasis, it's a magical Prada store that seems to be open just for you!
The "store" is a permanent art installation designed and built by Scandinavian artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset in 2005.  The shoes and bags are actual Prada items from the Fall 2005 collection.  FYI, this installation is under video surveillance, so try to fight the urge to break in!

But the good news is you CAN purchase the Prada Marfa sign through the Art Production Fund. 

XOXO
