------Louis Vuitton Resort 2013------

Prints and pleats and fur and platforms...oh, my. Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton brought the flirty girl back just in time for resort season in a departure from his rather reserved (but still very covetable) fall showing. And who says that your resort season can't start this weekend? Strap on those platforms, throw on a matching printed short suit (the cutest suit look I've seen thus far) and grab your Speedy for the perfect weekend look, whether you'll be at a resort or not. File as Monday dreaming.

Best Dressed at the Met Ball 2012.

I must say that my days this week have really been lacking in the glamour department. Just last weekend, I had a feeling that I was right on the edge of a major style slump (this self-imposed "budget" is killing me), when blam (totally just yelled this is my head) The Met Gala hit! (Relive last years by clicking here.) 

Although my daily work wear doesn't fall anywhere close to what the fab ladies above are wearing, it's definitely given me the push to stop wearing my go-to J Brand jeans every. single. day. But the real debate around the office (not involving my inability to pick a cute outfit this week) has been who was deserving of the best dressed title at this years Met Ball. And you know I had an opinion on that. Keep reading after the jump to see my favorite for this year! File as too much. 

Bunny Ears.

One of my favorite fashion shows ever, Louis Vuitton's Fall 2009 collection is one that I will always remember for being so over the top, completely sexy and totally unforgettable. One of the most ingenious pieces in the collection was those bunny ears- lightyears in chicness away from those Playboy bunny ears and just strange enough to warrant a wear by Madonna at the Met gala that year- but for today, Tanya Ling's print (buy it here, I'll just be lusting after it) is just the thing to wish everyone a very happy Easter Sunday. File as hop to it.

Marc Jacobs Fall 2012.

I'm feeling a little loopy lately. I don't know if it's the early drive home from San Francisco after a fun-filled last week of vacation (new job starts tomorrow), spending the day cramped in the closet organizing all my new work clothes (oh, Forever 21) or how anxious I am to be working for one of my favorite brands (in the Forever 21 marketing department, of course) but my new obsession with the Marc Jacobs collection for fall must be symptomatic from all the craziness that is happening around me right now. Take one hat from a certain 90's pop sensation (remember Jamiroquai kiddies?) one kohl-rimmed eye (well OK, two) of Marchesa Casati, one artist (Rachel Feinstein) to create the perfectly dilapidated set, shoes better set for one seriously fabulous pilgrim, and a whole lot of eccentric embellishments and you have yourself the kookiest (and probably least wearable) Marc collection to date. The best part, other than the clothes obviously, was the tune that played while the models sashayed down the set- "Who Will Buy?" File as so ironic/crazy/awesome.

Marc Jacobs Spring 2012.

Set somewhere between a Cabaret stage, 1950s suburbia and a classic hoedown, Marc Jacobs spring 2012 show covered all the bases here. The standouts for me included the barely there silicone dresses and skirts, the layered draped flapper dresses that made me want to go straight back to that time and the sweatshirt material head wraps. And don't even get me started on those blue clutches. Fabulous. Overall I'd say that Marc has clearly established himself as the reining king of New York Fashion Week, one that if according to rumors may be adding another fashion house to his resume quite soon. Is there anything this man can't do? File as overachiever.
