Here's a sneak peek at 's spring collection, full of punchy prints, vivid hues and easy, breezy silhouettes. I want everything, of course.

What do you think of this Elizabeth & James dress? Too Scarlet O'Hara? Too summery? I love it, the flowy sheerness, the print, the swishy length, and I was thinking I'd wear it--despite the dreary foggy weather--to a birthday party tomorrow night. I'd love to hear your opinion.
P.S. My twin sister, a fashion photographer, shot this picture of me outside my house for a Lucky Magazine story. It's always fun working with her (I was a glass of champagne or two in when she took this one--had to calm the nerves!), and I am so inspired by her fresh-girly-playful aesthetic. You can check out her amazing work at

P.S. The dress has strong a resort vibe, but it can be easily winterized layered over a white turtleneck (see inspiration here) and black tights.
A vibrant yet sensible day dress that's very Miu Miu '40s-romantic.

P.S. I think the black accessories are important because they help toughen up the dress (i.e., so it doesn't look so matronly.) My twin sister, who has a more downtown sensibility, thinks mannish brogues would be perfect with this dress. Try these.
