inspired by monet


i'm really thinking about spring lately. spring weather, spring flowers, spring beauty, and especially spring fashion. my particular inspiration at the moment stems from my trip to new york, at the MoMA, viewing Monet's famous water lilies.

now i realize what a cliche it is: florals for spring, not exactly breaking ground here, but this is less about flowers themselves, as the feeling of flowers, and the soft inspiration of monet's stunning and dreamy works.

browsing through some of the new pieces that are out there, i've come up with some looks that i feel are best described as the impressionism of fashion. soft colours and patterns, flirty fabrics anchored by a classic trench or leather shoe.

the countdown to spring is on.
