 With the cold air steadily blowing in on my side of the world, on the opposite hemisphere the coats are being shed and the flowers are being welcomed. Along with the full bloom of lilies, morning glories, and baby's breath comes the bloom of color. Rising from the dead of the monotonic colored fall line, Marc Jacobs RTW Spring 2011 line resurrects oranges, pinks, and soft reds. But what makes this season different from every Spring that has sprung in Jacobs' career? LEATHER. The mix of color combos not seen since the 70s along with leather skirts and trousers being paired with bold African prints inspired by Naomi Campbell's island parties makes for something guaranteed to be grabbed off the shelves. With the brown leather trousers not noted since days of Bianca Jagger, the fashion world is welcoming the revival of browns and pinks being paired with orange with open arms. Along with this revival is the return of wide-brimmed hats and open toed shoes, which is to say a nice transition from the clunky pumps of 2010. The shoes by Jacobs are returning style from party to pretty, a much needed change from the year of GaGa shoes. Thank you Marc Jacobs. Let Spring commence!

Groovy Baby. :)
