realliferunway in Spring 2010 Looks

If you don't already watch The City on www.mtv.ca, you really must, if only for some serious fashion inspiration.  My favourite love-to-hate character on the show, Olivia Palermo, might be an über-biatch, but biatch knows how to dress.  On last week's episode, the ELLE mag's Accessories Editor wore a belted black & white-striped sweater dress, accented with a bright red bag.  There was something about that combination that absolutely popped off the screen and I immediately fell in love (with the colours, not with Olivia).  I was thrilled to find this gorgeous dress from Costa Blanca that's graphic, modern and simply stunning.  At $29.50, how can you possibly resist?  Real Life Runway Tip:  The red, white and black trio is making a strong statement heading into summer and fall, as shown here at Balenciaga.  When the mercury begins to drop, you'll be able to make this dress work by pairing it with opaque black tights and a black blazer.  But let's not get ahead of ourselves...I mean, it's not even tecnically summer yet!  Sorry, I'll try not to do that again.

Hope you all have a fab long weekend and don't forget to stock up on $1 flip-flops at Old Navy on Saturday.  Hooray for flip-flop season! 

See you next week!
