Yes, I would do these.

Spring Florward!
(Image via)
Now that we've SPRUNG forward one hour it's got me thinking about flowers. What better way to introduce spring into your wardrobe than with florals!
I love the floral clutch and the Erdem dress! What type of floral has caught your eye for Spring?
Tsunami
I'm sure everyone is watching the news of the magnitude-8.9 earthquake and tsunami that hit the coast of Northern Japan and now has hit Kauai.
The images and video footage are unbelievable. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Japan.

Sunglasses
I know a lot of people wear sunglasses during the winter months (are you one of them?) because of the bright sunshine or the reflection of all the white snow, but can you not just WAIT to bring them out for SUMMER?
I don't even want Spring anymore, I just want it to go straight into summer, haha!
Love this image and the big sunglasses!

Yay or Nay to TURBANDS Ladies?
I think I would totally wear this. To yoga class. Maybe for brunch. By myself. No, really, I would try out this trend. How about you?

Salma Hayek and SJP have all worn this trend.
A leopard print one for the animal in you.

Make it yourself Burda Style or DIY Turband over at EHow.
60s
Yes! 60s hair is back!
As seen in Paris, at the Valentino show.
Models’ hair was styled into low ponytails with height at the crown and a headband!
Like or dislike? I heart very much.

Up Inspired Floating House
National Geographic built an actual floating house inspired by the movie UP. Have you seen Up?It's fabulous!!

I love these images (all via mymodernmet.com)
Milk & Honey
Have you heard about this?
Started by sisters Ilissa and Dori Howard, you can design your own shoes over at Milk & Honey.
For $250 you can design your own pair of heels and for $200 your own pair of flats.
All shoes (except rush orders) take approximately 6 weeks to produce. (check out their "how it works" page for more)
The only problem after all that work is, what if they don't fit?
Well, they have a policy for that too: you can return or exchange unworn shoes within 30 days.
Have any of you tried this? Is it something you would do?
I'm so tempted!
I love this pair from their inspiration gallery as it mimics the Valentino's I so covet!

Polka Dots

Garance Doré Inspiration

I was inspired by this photograph taken by Scott Schuman of Garance. I think she looks so carefree and elegant and easily put together.
Here's my take on this look. I'm a huge fan of rolling up my sleeves to a 3/4 length, otherwise I just look stumpy!
Is this something you'd wear?
John Galliano

I'm sure by now you've heard about John Galliano's anti-Semitic remarks at a Parisian Bar.
He had been suspended but is now fired from Dior.
Here is his apology:
"Anti-Semitism and racism have no part in our society. I unreservedly apologize for my behavior in causing any offense," the British designer said in a statement. He said he would immediately seek help for his "failures." (via WallStreetJournal)
Some eyewitnesses are saying he was provoked by the couple sitting beside him who thought he was a bum. More on that here.
Leap Year
Here's some Spring fashion inspiration from Amy Adams's character in Leap Year (have you seen it?). It's such a cute little film and Matthew Goode is yummy!
I can't believe she was walking around in those 4.5 inch Louboutins (and the things she got on them!)
Studs
I love studs on anything, but this might be a bit much. She certainly pulls it off. Is this something you'd wear?

What Kate's Wedding Shoes May Look Like
Footwear designers have shown some potential wedding shoes for Kate Middleton to wear down the royal aisle. What do you think? I'd love a pair of the Blahnik's and the Goodman's. *Le Sigh*
Manolo Blahnik
His design: An ivory silk pump with organza lilies of the valley and sea pearls
“It represents springtime and everything fresh and new, which is what Kate Middleton is all about.”
Giuseppe Zanotti
His design: A black satin sandal with large sapphire centerpiece and surrounding diamonds, on a metal-tipped stiletto
“I wanted her shoes to match the classic and sophisticated elements of her ring, but with a younger, modern edge. Jewelry for the feet is my DNA, so designing for a princess comes very naturally.”
René Caovilla
His design: A white satin sandal with marabou feathers and multicolor Swarovski crystal gems
“This shoe is fit for a princess because the sandal is elegant, sexy and precious, and it suggests a magical atmosphere.”
Cesare Casadei
His design: A single-soled silk pump with jeweled straps and embroidered floral details
“Kate reminds me of a 2011 Audrey Hepburn. ... This elegant design is customized with embroidery and multishaped clear crystals, to create a waterfall of stones dancing down the foot. I can see Kate dancing all night in this ‘new tango’ heel.”
Georgina Goodman
Her design: An antique Welsh lace pump with
Scottish seed pearls and pearl-inspired heel
“I wanted to create something special with an intrinsic emotional value; something old and at the same time mirroring Kate’s fresh modernity. ... I have aimed for a balance between history and femininity fitting the occasion; a kind of luxury recycling.”
