GET IN MY CLOSET: STYLE STALKER

How adorbes is this mini dress?! Black, lace, rocker chic, ahhh. Seriously, Style Stalker makes me go GAGA. Who I just so happened to watch an amazingggg interview with today. If you've ever wondered why she's the way she is, like many of us blame the parents.

"Don't spoon food me The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Elton John and expect me not to turn out this way."

My thoughts exactly.

QUESTION OF THE DAY

RT@StyleCaster If you could go on a free shopping spree at any store- where would you go?

I picked Bloomingdales. It's got all of my favorites ( Alice & Olivia, Ella Moss, Elizabeth and James, Marc Jacobs, WILDFOX, Vince and a zillion others) all in one place. Who wants to be limited to just one brand? *Scoff* And I need a full-service store, we're talking apparel, shoes, bags, jewelry and accessories, people.

MISSONI X BUGABOO

Disclaimer: I am no where near this stage in my life. In fact, since graduating college, I've pretty much been majoring in man repelling. But would it be completely insane to just buy this now and save it? I mean, Missoni's not exactly going out of style anytime soon...

Some favoties from the Met Gala, needless to say I'm digging slimming coloumn dresses. Amidst the overdone old Hollywood glamour that most leading ladies rocked on the red carpet, these ladies threw down in classic, clean lines.

LOLLI SERIOUSLY POPS

As a San Diego girl its safe to say I'm obsessed with swimwear. The weather this past weekend has had me craving new suits, and today I found the newest love of my life: Lolli over at my old friend, Swell. This little swimshop packs some major punch with badass bows, frilly ruffles and my clincher among swimwear- mix and match capabilties!

This cOOkies and creme top (tehehe) is at the top of my shopping list...I'm a sucker for bold stripes, and we all know how I feel about black and white.... Check out their lookbook, you'll eat it up, for realsssss.

LC's newest line, Paper Crown, is nothing short of adorable. Reminicent of the designer's own soft and feminine style, the Paper Crown lookbook is filled with comfy, breezy fabrics that I just wanna swim in. Our favorite SoCal girl proves once and for all that simplicity is king.

Because that would describe my feelings for top hats. And so it continues...


ORANGE LIP

The face is no exception to the color blocking trend this season.
This natural look with orange pop is pretty much perfection. Need to try the orange out, does it work for redheads?!

LILLY PULITZER

It must be the sorority girl in me to even follow Lilly Pulitzer, but how great is this tufted ottoman?! Pining for  the all white fabric, and lift the top to reveal the real treasure...shoe holders and room for any other accessories that might need hiding. #love

If you were lucky enough to discover H&M's Conscious Escape tent during downtime at Coachella, you were blessed with cool air, fresh water and a peek at H&M's Conscious Collection which became availble to the public April 14. The all white collection focuses on sustainability and the use of green materials like organic cotton, Tencel, and recycled polyester. Some of my favorite looks:

TAKE ME BACK TO THE DESERT

Coachella 2011: Success. Between beautiful music and beautiful people, I've come back inspired! Bring out the craft kits.

Fashion is always half (or more) of the fun at alt festivals and with celebs, tastemakers and trend forecasters all mingling amongst the crowds, its no secret that Coachella holds a see and be seen mentality.

This year the fields were filled with bandeaus and high-waisted bottoms of all sorts. Denim cutoffs were ever present and maxi skirts got a nice second wind for Spring. Some of my favorite trends of the weekend included tribal prints, breezy fabrics, and of course, retro inspirations.

One of the best-dressed performers of the weekend had to be Kanye exemplifying all three trends with this amaze Celine blouse from the Spring 2011 line. Which means, HI, it's a womens top...love uni-sex styling! So guilty myself.

This Natalia Kills track has been getting a lot of remix hype from the likes of Peace Treaty, but the video pretty much makes the original just as glorious. And those DSQUARED vertabrae heels...yowza <3

Obsessing. Penelope of Fashion Fade is beyond fab and this pic of her safety pin cross tee has totes inspired me to make my own! I love her sexy rocker style, she always inspires me to play up my edgier pieces. Can't wait to get started on this baby, can you say cheap chic?!

Interested to see the kind of awareness that will come out of this documentary. Ravers should take a cue from Insomniac, safety should be everyone's number one goal.
