Le Cirque

I'm a firm believer that nobody does a catalog like Anthropologie, and this month is no exception. Somehow, their flirty dresses and vintage vibe fit so perfectly into an arid desert campsite, the fantastical imagined world of the traveling circus. Spring can't come soon enough!

Outfit: Watch, Briefcase, Trousers

I'm still fixating my sartorial attentions on the menswear-inspired look, with everything from trousers to briefcase-like bags to chunky gold watches. As usual, I tried to give everything a little balance by adding super-feminine ruffles and a subtle bow on the shoes, hopefully giving the standard white-shirt-dark-trousers look a bit of a unique spin!

Target, a la Jean Paul Gaultier

It seems like the newest lookbooks for Target's designer collaborations have become available pretty early in the game - at least when considering how long it took for the Rodarte x Target looks to be revealed. Just yesterday, I was exalting Zac Posen's sweet designs, and now the Jean Paul Gaultier is out, too! I can't say I like the Gaultier designs quite as much as I do Zac's, but that's likely just how my personal tastes run. Though I'm not really a fan of those leggings, I do love the nautical stripes and the bright florals... and the outwear is all pretty awesome (there's an amazing trench, too - just follow the link above to see all the looks!).

The Jean Paul Gaultier for Target collection will be available beginning on March 7th.

Zac's on Target

The Zac Posen for Target lookbook is now available! I've posted a few of my top picks, but you can click on the link above to see all the images. I have to say, as much as I've enjoyed the previous Target designer collaborations, Zac's designs for the mega-retailer may just be my favorite so far. They're sweet and feminine and they fit in quite well with his usual aesthetic - and mine!

The Zac Posen for Target Go International line will be available starting April 25th.

Menswear is one of my favorite looks, though I usually like to soften things up with some feminine touches (like ruffles and pretty pastels - perfect for this coming spring!). The Spring/Summer 2010 issue of WWDFast features "Trail Blazer," a gorgeous spread full of suits, oxfords, plaids, and all manner of preppy, menswear-inspired pieces. The photos, shot by Amanda Pratt, have a definitive old-school quality, infused with boyish charm and a touch of sexy secretary.

Ferragam-OH!

The latest Salvatore Ferragamo ad campaign features a gorgeous Claudia Schiffer, shot by the ever-talented Mario Testino. You know an ad campaign is successful when you not only want what the model has, you'd also give anything to be the model. Granted, some of that has to do with Claudia's innate beauty, but the airy, ethereal quality of the luxe (Italian?) apartment and view doesn't hurt either!
