melanie likes: the almighty zeus
i cheated a bit because this particular outfit isn’t from this past week, but it slipped through the cracks that week and i wanted to give it a mention! i am in love with melanie’s super cool styling. this is a perfect spring transitional outfit with a pretty pastel dress layered underneath a tweed coat. superb!

kelly shoestrings: etsy update!
this is another outfit i pulled from the archives, but i only just recently discovered this awesome blog. kelly is an etsy seller, so this particular romper was up for sale in her shop a couple of weeks ago. i know, i know, it’s a shame that it already sold, but at least we get to appreciate her cool styling complete with a pretty pink rose headband.

blushing ambition: rain, really?
i’m quite a fan of annabel’s lovely blog and her darling duffel coat that she found at a thrift shop! i feel a little bit bad that there wasn’t a shot of her pretty face in this particular post, but i do really love the way she paired her navy coat with cream, tan, and that perfect shade of mustard tights. i really admire her minimalistic approach to dressing and design.

style hurricane: N.O.L.G.O.*
this is another blog i only recently discovered, and i was smitten the moment i saw her super cool and casual outfit. to top things off, she found both the jacket and the shorts at the thrift shop!

all this happiness: secret spring
kater is definitely ready for spring in this perfect ensemble with a pretty pink dress and mustard cardigan. the color combination is so fresh and fun. a great look to sport while browsing the aisles at a local antique shop!

off of broadway: tweeted
here’s an outfit from an other blog i’ve just recently found. amanda has been killing it lately in her awesome ensembles. this week, i liked everything she wore, but was particularly enamored of the way she wore those vintage riding boots with high rise skinny jeans. perfection.

today i wanted to share with you another of my favorite little collections for spring: geronimo! the collection was started by a young designer in california, which definitely comes through in the easy styling of these fun, vintage-inspired summer dresses and bathing suits. personally, i just can’t get enough of the first two looks, and think i might need to get my hands on the navy and brown julia dress. and i’m in luck, because the spring collection just went up for sale in the geronimo online shop!

now that we’re safely out of the madness of major fashion weeks and we’ve gotten our fill of what’s to come for fall 2010, i can finally shift focus back on some of the smaller designers who are beginning to reveal their spring 2010 offerings. and first on my list? one of my absolute favorites: nadinoo! this year, nadia has really outdone herself with this beautiful selection of dresses, blouses, and high rise shorts in perfect liberty prints and delicious colors! i have to tell you, with all of the larger designers out there that i’m really loving lately, the nadinoo spring collection is definitely in my top 5 for spring with several of her items in my wishlist. i think if i had to wear nothing but nadinoo this summer, i would be quite a happy camper!

while not all of the items pictured are available in her shop just yet, you should definitely check out fleur’s petal dress and pixie’s candy mini!
