you had me at hello: classic hippie chick...

starting a new topic on fabulous finds today...you had me at hello...a bit cheesy? maybe...but one of my all time favorite lines in a movie...do you know from whence it came? =)

in looking through all my fashion magazines that grace my doorstep...and give my mailman an ample good arm workout...i come across some glossy pages that just take my breath away...so this new topic "you had me at hello" will feature my loves, lusts, determined to re-create at a lower price point...or maybe even...do not pass go...do not collect $100...i am on my way to pick it up right now... =)

my advice to you...when you see a picture that speaks to you...pull it...put it in your "wish list" pile...you will be amazed how how often that "look" can be re-created..with your own little spin...

so...i don't remember where i pulled this from...i'm thinking it was either vogue or harper's bazaar...but...it would be an understatement at how my heart skipped a beat at this look...

you had me at hello...


proenza schouler three-quarter-sleeve sequined embroidered jacket ($3,100)
batik tee ($375)
scalloped-hem cotton skirt ($660)

i have often been called the hippie chick...with my love for bohemian inspired clothing...but tie dye?? well that takes me to a whole different level...love the mix of a classy dressy jacket paired with the tie dye tee...i am determined to recreate this look...somehow...someway...although my skirt will be a tad bit longer =)

update: how appropriate is this?? just posted on instyle.com tie-dye diy with proenza schouler (and martha stewart!) a helpful video? i just may try this...who will join me?
