white album

it may seem as if this post is inspired by the snowfall today yet nothing could be further from the truth. i'm not exactly sure how the whole "no white after labour day" rule works, but i think it's safe to assume that white is allowable now that it's april. and while it may evoke memories (or current situations) of snow, white also reminds me of spring mornings and the freshness of the air after an overnight rainfall.

elizabeth & james items are so simple yet they still manage to be stand out pieces in an ocean of contemporary designer lines. the above dress is on my spring/summer wishlist (or only-in-my-dreams list, rather); it has the casual elements of boyfriend t-shirts but it manages to be feminine with that darling layering at the bottom.

the spring/summer current/elliot ad campaign makes me want to put on a pair of hunters and jump around on a muddy farm. the collection is made up of many white linen dresses and faded blue jeans that remind me of playful midwest farmers daughters.

sessun's spring/summer 09 collection conjures up the same yearnings for the simple life. featuring allie (that alien-beautiful friend of whitney on mtv's the city), i love the grainy faded effect on this photo - so dreamy!
