springtime wishes

orla kiely on calivintage

after recently mentioning that nadinoo was in the top 5 of my spring collection favorites, i realized that i hadn’t shared another of my absolute most favorite spring collections for the year: orla kiely. this isn’t really much of a surprise, since orla kiely is usually very high on my list, but i am in lurve with these latest looks. i only wish they had another cute lookbook video like they did in the fall so that i could watch all of the dresses move.

seriously, it was almost impossible for me to narrow it down to only my favorites because i want so many of these dresses and separates and bags! i’m particularly enamored with the sailboat prints, and i love the perfect shades of mustard and brown with a bit of white and navy thrown in for good measure. and of course i’m a sucker for the mint green purse with scalloped detailing. so i’m sitting here patiently waiting for the rest of the items to pop up for sale in the online shop, and anxiously counting my pennies to see if i’ll have enough to invest in a new orla kiely dress this spring!

better late than never

looking back on my favorite fall/winter 2009 collections, i realized that i never did a post about the orla kiely collection! and this cute little video has certainly got me in the mood to dress up a little bit and have fun with my wardrobe.

anyway, how i dearly love so many of the pieces in this collection. i certainly would not mind if santa decided to leave one or two of these beneath the tree this year! and seriously, haircut inspiration anyone? i think i’m ready for a change to my bob and that bowl cut is adorable.
