Of course this led to me taking an Advil (two and I'm down for the count aka lightweight), and then having to put my foot up as the Chef made dinner and shook his head. I don't even blame him. All I have to say is everything my dad told me about getting older is coming true and I don't like it one bit. Creaky bones, twisted ankles, fine lines around the eyes, and lamenting the past. Did your past include shades of pink? Mine sure did. At one point in high school I think pink was the predominant shade lining my closet in it's various hues. It is, coincidentally, the color of my ankle right now, too. Sigh.
While I was laid up on the couch I decided to torture myself yet again and peruse Isabel Marant's spring line. It appears as though I'll be renewing two past relationships - one with the color pink and the other with slouch boots. Bonjour mes amis. Il est bon de vous voir de nouveau. (hello my friends. it is good to see you again)
Jacket and Pants? High School.
The return of the bomber jacket.
Are those friendship bracelets strapped around the boots?
The boho dream lives on.
And, as always, completely dripping with class.
This is black and white chic done impeccably.
I've still not recovered from the sequined pants she created for Fall/Winter 2010/2011. I scour sales hoping to include one piece from her runway collections. So far no dice, but it sure is fun to watch from afar and look for ways to incorporate her styling vision into what I already own. Enjoy! It was hard not to post each and every look.

Okay I can't help it - I have to include one more:
The dress, the boots, the belt - perfection!

I looove that maroon and grey outfit!! and gf...get better! take care of yourself :)
Boo for your ankle, hope it's not too badly sprained. I once sprained mine by falling over. We looked around to see what I could have tripped on, but there was nothing but even ground all around. I was on crutches for a week! Silly.
Nice clothes, like them a lot. But re: the second picture? I hope bras aren't going out this season. Otherwise I'm screwed.
A sprianed ankle can be quite painful - hope it heals soon. You poor thingy, glad to hear the chef is looking after you. I adore the last outfit in this series. Very muh my style;-)
Oh dear, I'm sorry about your ankle, hope you're much better now
I LOVE Isabel Marant, her designs are FABULOUS!!!
Wishing you a lovely day dear
XOXO

Oh, hope your ankle feels better, Carrie! I am the queen of getting hurt in my own home in odd stupid ways. Well, the plus side is that Chef is there to whip you up wonderful dinners! I love this collection... love pink! Those pink shorts are so cute. The best part about the collection is that it is very wearable. xo
never heard of this designer but i LOVE her style!
Sorry about your ankle, I hope you feel better soon.
such a great post- always makes me laugh. Although I hope your ankle is recovered now? I adore the french beauty Isabel Marant, so effortless and so desirable...drooooolllll never knew how much i wanted pale pink in my life!Katie.xx

aww, poor Carrie!! Hope you will get better soon. Yeah, I know.. getting older sucks!
Lovely pics you chose there. Love every single one of those outfits. Actually, I only have one pink piece in my closet: a Ralph Lauren shirt. That´s it. I´m not a pink loving girl at all.

Yes, I too was once a pinkaholic - every facet of my life was dripping in pink for many years.
Few things remain, but it's still a very flattering color and can be good in small doses.
Sorry about your ankle, hope you have a swift recovery.
I WANT that purple dress!!!!!! And oh dear on twisting your ankle :/

Ouch, what a freak accident! I hope it starts to feel better soon. At least you can console yourself with fantasy shopping online (love Isabel Marant).

Oh my gosh those blue sequin pants, that is what I live for in fashion. There are a pair of cute pink jeans at forever 21 that kind of remind me of the first pants. Here is the link Pink Jeans
I don't know if you like them, but they are a steal. My Heart Blogged
i must have that purple striped sweater!
Hope your ankle is feeling better and that last picture... must have outfit!
xo
The first and last looks KILL me - swoon! Oh Isabel, why must you taunt us so? Love!
Also, on the Justin Bieber front? I have been a closet fan since I was shopping in Target one day and his "Baby" video came on (on about 30 TVs in the electronics section) - kind of obsessed with that song. He's opening a clothing boutique at The Grove!!! :)
ooh I do love that last look. Love slouch boots, but I continued to wear them for about 3 winters now. Is that bad?
I love the color! I cannot wait for Spring!!!!
I have not worn that shade of pink since junior high but I already found a sweater for summer in that very shade. :)
Oh you poor dear!! So sorry about your ankle, hope it is feeling better. You shouldn't feel bad for getting hurt in your own house. I once very innocently, and like you in bare feet, walked across my floor only to step just right (or just wrong as it were) on a power cord. Right under the joint of my big toe, it hurt so much and within minutes there was a big bump and by the next day was a black and blue mess. It hurt to walk for weeks. So that head shaking, how in the world did this happen feeling? Oh I know it well. Feel better!!
this girls make fashion and poise look sooo easy!! i must take notes...
have a great day dear!
I just adore that purple dress! Fab!
Ugh and so sorry about your ankle :( I double twisted my ankle a couple of years ago and it was miserable! Ice that baby up!
Sorry to hear about your ankle and YES getting older is certainly a killer on the body. I have several avid runner friends with recent ACL surgeries so I have been walking a lot lately! My house would not function well, if at all, if I were down for a few weeks!! Feel better! xoxo
Someone just told me the other day that friendship bracelets are coming back. I'm not mad about it, haha! I loved frienship bracelets. I'll take the bomber jacket, boots, boho tunic, heck, gimme it ALL. I hope you get to feeling better soon! Bless your soul. Sounds like something I would do!!
Utter perfection! And that jacket and pants = so high school! Amazing.
Hope your ankle's feeling better, sweets xoxo
aww geez, sorry to hear this...hope it gets better real soon ;(
Glad to hear your package made it safe to you ;)
love the last look by the way, uter perfeciton!! Purple used to be my fave color in high school

I'm still obsessing over those sequin pants too! And the slouchy boot is one of my favorite looks. I love every single picture you posted. Maybe I need more pink in my closet this Spring too. And i definitely need that purple dress.
I hope you're resting your ankle today! I agree about getting older and creaky. It's not fun. :(

Oh no! Twisted ankles are so lame! I am so sorry!
A sprained ankle??? Bummer! I'm surprised that hasn't happened to me...I'm a bit of a klutz! I'm excited about the return of the bomber jacket :)
Oh sweetheart, I hope your ankle is feeling a little better! I'm familiar with the twisted ankle, and it really is no fun. But on the upside, you have time to drool over each gorgeous look-and they would be TO DIE FOR on you!
xox, Lena
SO sorry to hear about your ankle. I did it so many times throughout my life that the damage became permanent and I ended up with surgery, now I'm as good as new. Take time to heal properly.
Love the boho look ! great selection of pictures !
i would love for you to check out my blog and tell me what you think

oh i'm so sorry about your ankle! that sucks. i have developed really bad knees and that go out when i least expect it... and i'm not even 30 yet! i thought i had one more good year of 20's youth. alas,...
that line is so cute! i love so many of those clothes. they're so fresh and fun!
So sorry to hear about the ankle!! Wishing you a speedy recovery. This is a gorgeous collection! I still have a love affair with pink and slouch boots would be a welcome come back!
Oh no!! I hope you feel better! That is totally something I would do! I have bad knees and totally get what you are saying about age.

Oooh I like!! I'm trying to avoid buying anything new until I clean out my closet to see what I actually own... but it's SO difficult!
Bisous,
Rachel

Damn sister...that totally blows about your ankle! But at least to have Isabel to swoon over and I couldn't agree more....her collection is utter perfection! xo
I love that last dress! So fun and it has such a chic, semi-boho vibe to it that even I could handle. Hope your ankle feels better soon, Carrie... And you're HARDLY getting old!

You poor thing! I hopew you get better soon! You're such a sweetie! As you were in pain yesterday you were still doing your best to make me feel better. YOU.ARE.AWESOME.
Now I'm sending good thoughts your way :)
Oh no! Don't worry, I almost slipped off of the stairmaster at the gym and completely ate it in front of the morning rush. Luckily, no ankles were twisted. Just a bruised ego.
PS - this collection = me hoping into a time machine and stoping myself from throwing away all those friendship bracelets. If I only knew I could've tied them around my boots!!!
Poor ankle! Nothing like a little style therapy to help it - LOVE that last look. Keep that ankle safe : )
Oh darling I hope you're okay :( Hope it's not a serious sprain and that you're up and running again soon xoxoxoxo
hi :)!
I'm just about to check out your lovely boho blog, hoping we could follow one another with google friend connect? I follow you now :)
Love Isabel Marant sooo much - boho with a modern twist!

Oh dear. Poor you. Hope you're going to tell people you hurt your ankle rock climbing or abseiling or something - hee hee! Hope it feels better soon x x x
Oh no! Hope your ankle heals fast!
Never been too into pink - it looks horrible on me!
Ummm... love the last two looks... seriously want to take it right off the runway!
The first outfit reminds me of a modern day outfit of the 'Pink Ladies' from Grease! :)
http://annawalker1992.blogspot.com/
the last outfit is the prettiest. so lovely.
Oh, no! I am so sorry to hear about your ankle. Once I twisted mine out of stupidity, but everyone thought I was playing basketball when it happened, so I just let them think that ;)
I am obsessed with the sequin pants, too! Let me know if you find any! And I love the little boho romper-y looking thing. That has my name all over it :)
oh i was such a pink girl too! i really want those pink cut offs!

Oh Carrie! I am so sorry to hear about your ankle! I hope it heels quickly! At least you have a wonderful Chef on hand! ;) xo Samantha
Ouch! Stay off that ankle ~ take care ~ cuddle up with some tea and look for those pants ~ they have to be on line on sale somewhere!!! xo
Ooh I love the last picture! I hope you feel better soon!
i love all of the pictures and their style. your blog is great!
I've never given up my love for slouch boots!
Hope you're able to put that ankle down now. I like that last dress the best. Everything down to the model's attitude is so Isable Marant.
Hope you are feeling better,sweetie..and yes!!! That last dress is incredible:) I so want that whole outfit
Kisses and hugs
Muah
I always love a good bomber jacket and anything by Isabel Marant ;)
Isabel Marant is totally killing boho chic right now. One of my fave looks! ICE that ankle love and happy weekend to you :)

Boho dress be mine!
May the fabulosity of fashion distract you from pain... Any one of these would be fabulous on you!!
Hope your ankle heals quickly!
Oh Carrie, so sorry to hear about your ankle and I have to admit this post (per the usual) made me laugh just thinking of you all alone in the bathroom - poor thing!! how does that happen? ;( And gosh I'm still dreaming of those sequin pants too.
Aww.. sorry to hear about your ankle. I still obsess over those sequin pants too, but these spring looks are great as well. I just got a purple-y patterned dress that reminds me of the last one, so I'm gonna see about belting it too.
I hope you are feeling better Carrie! Gets lots of rest!!!

I am so in love with that black and white outfit...that tulle skirt is so beautiful! Those slouchy boots are such a great addition to all these outfits too! I know what I'm going to be looking for next :)
anddd I'm glad you posted the last one because that is for sure my fave. see through tops, I just can't seem to pull them off ;) (kidding, obviously its pretty hot on the runway!)
Oh no! I hope your ankle is healing nicely by the time you read this. Beautiful collection by the way! I am glad the chef was there to take care of you : )
i love all of these. they are so your style.
In love with that last look! Sweet and feminine, but a little edgy, too. Right up my alley...
Poor you Carrie! These images are just...what can I say? Very nice! I love the boots...she does great boots. Lou x
I like this post! I think my favorite look is the second one ^-^
http://iflyastarship.blogspot.com/
Ahhh, this last one is the best! And whoops, be careful on that ankle!
I heard about your blog from Krystal's website and i simply love it! I'm so sorry about your ankle, hope it's healing properly... but thanks for sharing the wonderful Marant's collection, i love the boho-chic look!
I love that maroon and gray outfit and gf. Get better! Take care of yourself :)
