I am really taken with Marc Jacob's Spring 2009 collection. A part gypsy and a dash Mary Poppins, his collection allows you to mix a bunch of trends (vests, wide belts, bangle bracelets...) and still look fresh - although a bit costume-y. For more pics, visit style.com.

Things I Love Today
I passed my course for CPR today but am a nervous wreck from waiting to see if I passed. Life has been so hectic lately that I decided to take time out and remind myself about what is good in life.
- Inauguration Style - Will the First Lady be hip again? Please, stay tuned...
- Overheard in New York - Overheard conversations are always the most interesting.
- Classic Board Games - Clue is my fave, but Mall Madness and Pretty Pretty Princess are close.
- Happy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies - I'm not even vegan but these are good.
- Origami Club - Nice and easy directions and animations so I can flood the world with paper cranes.
- Fifty People One Question - A great idea for a short documentary. Makes me want to bust out my camera and hit the street.
- OPI You Don't Know Jacques - My friend gave me a manicure with this color, and now I am addicted. Even though it is taupe, it is actually very flattering.
- Chinese Laundry Bounty platforms - I saw these on Who What Wear and think these would look amazing with colored tights and a sundress.

Stuff to Try
- House of Harlow 1960 - bohemian-inspired jewelry by Nicole Richie (and at an affordable price point).
- Coffee Cuff - an ingenious idea to make a cuff bracelet double as jacket for your cup of joe.
- Gray Nails - the new black for spring. Sephora by OPI in Run With It offers an easy way to try this trend with it's shimmering dove gray color.
- Harem Pants - I haven't been brave enough to try this trend, but it is definitely on my to-do list. Free People currently offers 3 styles.
- Frugal Snob - The Bag Snob takes a frugal look at stylish purses. MICHAEL Michael Kors "Austin" Small Messenger Crossbody Bag and Lucky Brand Jeans "Leather Foldover" Bag are my favorites, and both are under $200.

- "You Found Me" by The Fray - it's the song I have on repeat this week
- Cake Wrecks - this blog features cakes gone horribly gone. Sooo funny.
- Passive-Aggressive Notes - Like the name implies...
- How to Survive a Renaissance Drama - I gave Shakespeare a go in college, but life would have been so much easier if I had read this first.
- Strike TV - Put together during 2007's writer's strike. These webisodes hit the spot.

Things i LOVE Thursday
Happy New Year! I'm starting 2009 out right by remembering all the things I LoVe.
- My Family - they always have my back and offer a shoulder for me to cry on
- Jane Austen - who shapes the way I see the world and understands what I want in a man
- 2009 - I'm so happy to be starting a new year and hope this means a fresh start for me as well
- Bookstores - The best place to go when I am bored or depressed or happy or have money to spend
- Dancing - in my room, at work, while shopping, in front of strangers, with friends...
