Spring 09's BEST Collection

I have been looking through the images from the Spring 09 runway shows, making my wish list which started and ended the with the new Lela Rose collection.  The line is known for being all about color and this season was no exception.  The runway was draped in palettes of blue and yellow sapphire, lapis, ruby, and peacock accented with punches of slate, navy, and orange.  

This fire orange paillette racer back tank dress makes my eye balls burn!  The color is genius and is exactly the fresh take needed amongst the blanket of matronly pastels that so many designers brought to the tents. 

This outfit is too cute and sets the "chic bar" to a whole new level.  I want to wear this to work and then slip off the cardigan and go grab a cocktail with the girls. This is the perfect transition color from Fall to Winter and HELLO Spring! 

Really could this jacket be any cuter?  It's the follow up to my coveted green anorak from Rose's 08 spring collection.  My true love here is the pair of slate and white tweed shorts.  The a-line cut has a mini skirt feel.  Throw on a dressy top and Rose's lucite payless heels and you have the perfect Friday night last minute outfit.

This fall I am attempting to budget my shopping in hopes to save money for these incredibly vibrant perfectly edited spring pieces!
