Project Runway drop out and blonde haired hottie, Logan Neitzel, has designed a spring collection that is geometric yet fluid, dark yet uplifting... A complete oxymoron when read but visually makes absolute sense. I would rock the hell out of every last look...he probably did'nt win the battle but the war is still his for the taking. -S.A.
addicted to a little town outside Charlotte, NC by the name of "Pineville"...ran into an amazing shop full persian rugs so beautiful that Aladdin would be jealous. I'm moving at the start of summer, and cannot wait to decorate; I'd like to start with the carpet... then design around it. The owner was kind enough to let us take a few shots. I love the idea of mixing prints,and what with all the florals being mixed and matched I thought I would take a crack at tie dye...I'm liking the results. -S.A.
Part Pochahantas, part western rock renegade... I have been lusting after a leather fringed skirt for eons and when Zara turned one out there was no other option but to buy it. Please excuse the forced facial expression, the sun was blazing! -S.A.

The setting: historic Pineville. The look: Total Altuzarra. I was so inspired by the designers spring collection, that I had to do my own rendition with pieces that had been collecting dust in my closet. I have to say I was a little on the fence with the whole baring the midriff resurgence, but I've climbed over. -S.A.

It is currently 88 degrees. The bugs are a buzzin', drop top convertibles, and errant showers signal the start of a season that I most adore. Tis, Spring. Every gal needs an arsenal of epic proportions that can battle even the most trying style dilemmas. I give you the reinvented essentials. The Exotic statement heel. The Perfect cut racerback tee. The Messenger Satchel. The Leather Motorcycle vest. The Statement jean. Each piece has enough style power to bring any outfit to the next level. -S.A.
Chaste with an aroma of provocative allure...showing your midriff has never looked better, feminine and flirty or sporty sophisticate...everyone has options abound. I'm upping my ab sessions to rock this 90s reincarnation- S.A.
Denni of Chicmuse, has a style that is all her own and manages to incorporate current trend within her aesthetic but, isn't shackeled by it. Parisian charm and glamourous rock influence mixes and sifts out a perfect blend. Silk Bandana, thigh grazing boots, and a haphazardly tucked silk blouse... She has been inducted into my personal streetstyle hall of fame. - S.A.
Harper's Bazaar Australia's treasure trouve,Christina Centenera is hands down one of the best dressed editors in fashion right now. I especially love how she mixes classic elegance with modern sculptural pieces. -S.A.
I am a fervent believer of all things Garance Dore and herPardon My French series in partnership with Net-a-porter is no exception. Her latest installment featuring the venerable Franca Sozzani(just bestowed France's highest civilian award, Legion of Honor) highlights the fusion of fashion and technology and how this mutualistic relationship has changed the face of this industry forever. The catalysts that are facebook, blogging, and the especially potent twitter...makes "fast fashion" exponentially faster. Is this a positive? Or will production, creativity, and design be crippled by the need to keep up with the effects of Socialnomics on acid? Personally, I enjoy the up to the second updates. Where did she get that? BAM, oh its Maurie and Eve current collection due out next week. That neon beaded, swarovski encrusted necklace is pure INSANITY...who the hell makes it? Boom. Some chick on instagram got it from Charm and Chain.com. Fashion is now accessible in a way we never imagined before... Watch. -S.A.
A Sophisticated, gamine with a serrated edge; Catherine Mcneil's performance in this editorial shot by Max Doyle for Austrailan Vogue's April issue is flawless! From the haircut, to the plethora of piercings, to the well placed tattoos... -S.A.
Miroslava is too cute for words! I've seen the chanel backpack time and time again, but she pulls it off without fail. The amount of black clothing I have in my closet well outweighs anything else, the lack of color is starting to affect my mood...these pics inspire me to delve into the blues.... a little less depressing, and a great transition color for spring.-S.A.
Two of my favorite classic spring favorites coexisting on one garment. A Badass motorcyle jacket calmed by the brillant exoticism of the wildly feminine florals. Mary Katrantzou, I've dubbed you queen of the print -S.A.
Sold out! But if you want to drool at MK's spring collection and loads of other lustworthy pieces hop on over to Net-a-porter
Remarkable. Dries Van Noten, can do no wrong...pictures do this collection zero justice..the clothes must move..this show literally slowed down time- S.A.
