"I like to make one big bag purchase a year, so for spring I’ve decided to splurge and finally get the PS1 bag I’ve been pining over for months. I was debating between the navy and camel, but I finally settled on the lighter color to lighten things up for the warmer months."

"I'm really feeling the flat-form lately for its retro look. However, this wedge is perfect for my spring wardrobe as it has the feel of a flat-form but doesn't feel too trendy and the color can carry me into fall."

"I want a Céline tote bag. I want to incorporate a few ladylike pieces into my super hard-edged kind of look because it’s a complete dichotomy."

"I've had my eye on these Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Maryjanes. They're not like any other shoe in my closet right now, but I think their girlishness would pair well with some of the more minimal looks already in my closet to help mix it up. Plus, they kind of remind me of Cher from Clueless."

"If there is one thing that I will obsessively search for until I get my hands on it, it's a pair of Julian Louie for ALDO wedges from the spring collection. I am already styling outfits around them in my head!"

"I’m sure there will be more than one. There was a jumpsuit from Derek Lam. It was like a linen jumpsuit, with a low v and natural hem line. I said to Derek 'I love it' and he [...]

"I’m sure there will be more than one. There was a jumpsuit from Derek Lam. It was like a linen jumpsuit, with a low v and natural hem line. I said to Derek 'I love it' and he said 'That’s very you.' Sign me up for that please."

"When it come to springtime, we fashion editors do our fair share of hoofing around NYC. The constant dilemma? How do you stay looking modern and chic in boring flats? The answer, of course, is don't wear boring flats. These Marni neon yellow polka dotted ballerinas are anything but run-of-the-mill. They're also the kind of shoes that make people take a second look at you as they think, 'is she crazy?' I like to leave people guessing."
