Do you get spring fever? Oh man… the itch to run around outside in flowery prints and frilly laces gets greater and greater each passing day. To heck with chunky sweaters! This week we have a load of great spring style posts, Holier Than Now checks out cape coats, if you’re strapped for cash Out of Order gives the perfect 45min spring skirt tutorial, so cute! And girly clothes not your thing? The Demoiselles has a great homage to genderbending unisex looks. I’ve been thinking of doing a couple of days in menswear myself. Well, as soon as I learn how to tie the half Windsor knot.

1. Boey-foam Cups: Illustrator Boey transforms plain styrofoam cups into works of art. (Via Lost At E Minor)

February 25, 2010 In the midst of a messy wintry mix pelting Manhattan, industry professionals and celebrities dashed nimbly from their cars and taxis into the inviting arms of the IAC Building, the location playing host to the second annual USA Network’s Character Approved Awards. Meant to honor individuals in the arts whose work has influenced and inspired our world and culture, the awards presentation was a lively, opulent affair that drew a remarkably large and impressive crowd despite the bad weather.
Story continued and photos after the cut…

As fashion weeks starting winding down, some are looking forward to the next trend in fashion. This week, I was thrilled to see so many bloggers focusing on the past -the history of fashion. An obvious passion of mine, vintage fashion has never been so influential. fête à fête reviews a gorgeous collection of vintage inspired jewelry. Fabulous Finds narrates a 1950s styled romp through Palm Springs. Oranges and Apples shares inspiring vintage Life magazine images. In politics, if you don’t learn from history, you’re destined to repeat it. In fashion, if you don’t learn from history, you won’t know you are repeating it!

“Minnie Mouse” via Doe Deere
1. Minnie Mouse Makeup Tutorial: I have been a long time fan of Doe Deere’s makeup tutorials, but this Minnie Mouse one takes the cake. Cuteness!
2. IE6 Funeral: I know this isn’t polite to say about the deceased, but I have to be honest - he was crotchety, cruel, and incredibly corrupt. I’m glad he’s dead. They can’t dig a hole deep enough, IMO.
3. Magical Flowers: A rare Buddhist flower that blooms once every 3,000 years? Growing under your washing machine? That’s not news - THAT is the plot of a kung-fu movie.

I wore this little number to the USA Character Approved Awards last week (article coming later this week in which I will dish). As the eastcoasters will know, it was rather horrible weather on Thursday, so I was looking for something warm and spiffy.

Reading through the links this week, I realized that fashion week or no fashion week, fashion will most certainly go on! A winter snowstorm couldn’t even slow down New York Fashion Week, and the links below are testament to the wonderful style that exists beyond the runway, such as Ode to Awe’s jewelry discovery, how to look chic while lounging by Cafe Fashionista, and tips for vintage shoe shopping by Wicked Whimsy. Don’t get me wrong, I love being ‘in the know’ on runway looks and trends, but how you interpret them and work them into your personal style is so much more important than remembering which designers showed one-shoulder looks this season!
As expected, there was a fabulous round-up of links in the forum as well, all worthy of your eyeballs!
