Spring and summer are fast approaching, which make me want to ditch any drab-colored dubs and break out the brights. Multi-colored pieces can be super fun and eye-catching, without being over-the-top à la Punky Brewster.
Eye Candy Friday
I first had a crush on Jason Bateman when he was on the Hogan Family. It's been many years since and he looks even more handsome. I just love his dry humor. I'm ashamed to say I never really watched Arrested Development. Adding it to the queue...
New Kicks on the Block
I finally got a new pair of workout shoes, the Nike Livestrong Lunar Haze. It took a couple weeks to get used to them, but now they're as comfy as can be and I really like the looks of them (the only difference is mine have an all yellow tongue). Yay!
I also got a new pair of DV by Dolce Vita Wedges for spring/summer at Nordstrom Rack, but can't find them anywhere online. They look kind of like these, but with a few less straps and they're elasticy. Same tassel though, which I dig.

On a recent trip to France, Jessica Alba wore the perfect easy, breezy ensemble for traipsing around as we mosey on into warmer temps. Bare legs, covered arms and a hat to shield the sun if it decides to show it's face (or to hide a less than perfect coif). I re-created her outfit (minus shoes and shades for under $80).

Float Your Boat
The popularity of boat shoes has been on the rise and they've have come a long way from the traditional brown Sperry's from years ago. They can be found in a bevy of colors, patterns and fabric and aren't just for the boys or prepsters. Fortunately there's no yacht needed to sport these casual and comfortable footwear - though wouldn't that be nice.
Row 2: Hunter, Hunter, Steve Madden , Frye
Row 3: Timberland, Etienne Aigner, Sperry, Rebecca Minkoff
Row 4: Converse, Roxy, Juicy Couture, Tommy Hilfiger
Eye Candy Friday
I was a little late to hop on the Glee bandwagon, but I admit it, I'm now a Gleek. One of my favorite character's is Puck. I especially love his unexpected relationship with Lauren Zizes - they crack me up. Mark Salling himself isn't too shabby, as shown here in the summer 2011 issue of New Zealand mag, Remix. Do you think he hates having to keep that mohawk?
Foxy Lady?
Lately I've been seeing people around town adorned with giant fox tails - mostly they're attached to belt loops and bags. I wasn't sure if it was an LA thing or what...? Upon further research, I discovered Louis Vuitton had them in their Spring 2010 collection. Kinda weird, right? I don't think I'm a fan.

Happy Hump Day
No real reason for this photo today. I just like it and wouldn't mind owning those shoes; they'd surely get me through to the weekend.

Tinsel Town Chic
Whoops, I totally forgot to post these earlier! I adore the images of gorgeous model Mona Johannesson and handsome actor Sam Page from the February Hollywood Issue of J.Crew. You may recognize Sam from Gossip Girl, Mad Men, Greek and Desperate Housewives (among others). I think I see an Eye Candy Friday feature in his future.
Eye Candy Friday
What's not to love about a hot dude in a nice suit? So I present to you - Chris Pine from the June 2009 GQ. I love how springy/summery his looks are. Perfect for Easter Sunday, a warm-weather wedding or chic garden party.
Is That You, Summertime?
LA has been hot the past couple days and has been reminding me of summer. I've been going over all my plans and trips for the next few months and can't believe it will actually be summer so soon.

I gave up cheese and chocolate for Lent - crazy I know, especially since I'm not even Catholic. As I suspected, going sans chocolate hasn't been that hard, unless face to face with a delicious-looking treat containing the self-enforced forbidden ingredient. Much more tempting and prevalent daily, is cheese. It's in so many things I like to eat. While it's easy to get dishes without, it's just not the same knowing how much more enjoyable things taste with the addition of cheese. Oh well, 40 days really isn't very long in the scheme of things and I almost decided to nix dairy completely. I shouldn't complain and I'm pretty sure I'll live. Actually, my body is probably thanking me. *Sigh*
City of Brights
I'm loving the colorful accents captured outside the shows and on the streets during Paris Fashion Week by Phil Oh for Vogue. Models, actresses, fashion folk and show-goers alike were seen in some marvelous ensembles. I could look at 'street style' photos from around the world for hours. It's always fun for a little inspiration. Check out all of the photos here.

I spotted this Mark & James by Badgley Mischka dress and thought it was just the cutest thing. So fun and flirty, perfect for a party. As much as I would love to snag this cutie, the $375 price tag deters me, as I don't need another dress. However, I quickly realized this ensemble would be easy enough to re-create with two separate pieces. Bonus: more mixing and matching options with other clothes you already own.
INC $59.50, J.Crew $78.00, Samantha Dru $121.00, Karen Kane $55.30
ASOS $89.65, Forever 21 $19.80, Forever 21 $14.80, Bailey 44 $59.00

Forget greed and envy - green is fabulous! In honor of St. Patrick's Day I've plucked some greenery from around the web.
