Honestly, does it get any better than Elizabeth & James‘ spring collection? I’ll tip my hat to mustards, nudes, blues, and all shades of pink in the form of floral printed shorts, pajama striped separates, wide-leg pants, and blouses anyday. Or visor, rather . . .
I recently stumbled upon the Smithsonian Library Galaxy of Images, a giant archive of maps, botanical drawings, animal and insect renderings, and even pages from a 1951 western catalog. Anyone looking for inspiration, I highly recommend you go explore their galaxy.
So, it turns out Mandy over at Oracle Fox and I both share a love for visors. After she saw all the visors go down the runways for Spring, she searched the internet for the largest one she could find and by golly she found it. And for less than $11 on eBay!! Very Balenciaga-esque . . .

I love this series of oil paintings called Windows by Jim Darling. The view from an airplane window is such an inspiring and freeing perspective, especially for all of us wanderlusts out there.

Color + block = the 2 words in fashion most commonly used this season. It was just a matter of time before we’d incorporate this much loved trend into a DIY. And thanks to Tommy Ton‘s color blocked pants, spotted at New York Fashion Week, we were finally inspired to give an old pair of chinos a much needed makeover!
You’ll need:
- a pair of old boyfriend jeans or chinos
- 4 oz fabric or craft paint (we used Martha Stewart Satin Craft Paint in Indigo)
- flat paintbrush
- small plastic tray
- masking tape
