In effort to inject some lightheartedness into my day yesterday (oh who am I kidding? and on Sunday, too) I spent a good deal of time ooooohing and aaaaahing over Gaby Basora's new Resort line. You may think that I'm not swooning and crying over Tucker every.single.day like before? But no dear readers the love affair continues. I just try to distract myself and watch my pennies because I know Gaby will blow it out of the park come spring. Her clothing says 60's, 60's, 60's! And I am all about a rebirth.
Based on the following I do believe spring will be coming early this year...
Can we discuss? Okay it's settled. Need.
All of it. Shoes+Hat, too.
But wait, it keeps going.
+ Waist Drop SHORTS (shown here in Katya & Khadija)
+ impeccable pony tail
= I think I'm going to cry.
My heart sings out, "Perfection!"
I know, I know. Hold yourself. I'm holding myself.
Look at the styling...note to self: get.glasses.
Wait. I've got glasses that I need and seldom wear.
BTW, this woman is channeling my mother circa her high school days.
No jokes.
Can I just mention how happy I am that I didn't cut
all my hair off last month? Messy pull backs coming right up.
Also - desperately.seeking.these.very.sunnies!
While we're on the subject of sun, let us imagine slipping on this
blouse after a day in the rays having acquired a glow.
Happy place.
p.s. those are shorts she's wearing it with!!
I just couldn't resist showing you this one, too.
Examine the hat, the print, the shoes...
Gah! Wallet commences bleeding!!
So many times during the week I find myself going into the closet and pulling out one of my many Tucker pieces to wear. Whether it's a bright velvet tank layered under a blouse, or a dress worn over denim and capped off with some sort of coat - Gaby's clothes are just the most carefree things I own. Here's to spring, dear friends. Is it here yet? And to everyone currently undergoing snowpocalypse 2011 - my sincere condolences. May a resort be in your immediate future.

Crossfront dress? Yeah, I'm curled up in the fetal position sobbing because I'm on a shopping ban for 30 days. Ohhhhhh cruel world. But at least Jan is over because it has upheld its reputation as a HORRENDOUS MONTH AND I HATE IT. On to better things. Except shopping. Cause I cant.
Hells bells Katie. Hells.bells.
Hahaha, january is a dirty word!? Indeed!!! Thank godness it´s over! We are having icey temperatures here again, this morning on my way to work it was -4°C eeeeeeks!!! I should fly to Mexico. Or just visit Carrie in California! :D
I don´t see the pics, once again. Gotta come back tonight when at home. <3

I am so thinking of moving this thing over to wordpress. I don't know if the problem is on my side, but it really ticks me off!! UGH!
I absolutely love that crossfront dress. Amazing!!
The weather is crazy here too. One minute it is great weather, the next it is freezing!! I am ready for some consistency.
xo
Okay, first of all, girl -- don't complain about that 52 degree weather. That's like sundress weather here, considering we're currently in the early stages of a serious blizzard. And second -- I NEED THAT FIRST DRESS. NOW. I don't know if I've ever loved anything more. How can you do this to me, Carrie?

wellll january is my favourite month! in my neck of the woods summer only really starts in (late) january. we get many days off, the tennis is on and i spent lots of time frolicking in the ocean, what's not the loveeeeeeee
xo
Ooh love the vibes from the resort collection. You have singlehandedly convinced me to invest in Tucker (my wallet blames you)
Love! I want those glasses! So cute. xo
Such great pieces! All I've managed to wear on the weekends are sweatpants and tee shirts. Winter is bad for me! I need to start perking up and choosing beautiful patterned items like this!
Love that first tunic! Several inches of snow so far and blizzard conditions al day. Temps near 10. Send help!
lovely pieces! I am really liking that grey and white top :)
It's raining/snowing ice pellets this morning. Seriously, ice pellets!!!! I don't think I've ever hated winter/January more and I've seen my fair shares of horrific winters. I'm going to keep coming back to this page all day and imaging myself in the sun wearing that bottom tunic dress.

Umm...LOVE those clothes!!!!
http://aclosetfashionista.blogspot.com/
Gah! The Lamu Tunic Pocket Dress...swoon! But what I'm really coveting are the shoes in the very last look - ohmigosh Need. Right. Now. The color. The straps. The chunky heel. The platform. Love to the tenth power! :)
These clothes are so much fun. I can see you rockin every piece, while I'll still be in a winter coat and scarf and boots. no worries, I enjoy it.
I love the cross front dress, and the yellow ruffle blouse. There is so much snow outside I can't wait for spring.

The second entire outfit is calling my name. That's all.

I feel FAINT!!!!
First of all it's -10 degrees outside. Second.....it's -10 DEGREES OUTSIDE!!!!
And here comes Carrie, with an entire page of spring-a-licous heaven. I can't take it. I NEED every single piece!
The cross front dress and the tunic are on my NEED list for Spring. January was the longest month ever, I'm so happy it's now over. I really hope Spring comes early this year because I'm starting to think I'm vitamin D deficient from the last year in socal. So I tried on the white pants and they fit! WOOHOOO!!! I'm in!

i'm loving all the pattern mixing for spring. thanks for sharing this tucker collection.
I'm not a kiss ass, but I love your captions and agree with all of them?
Perfect ponytails.
Messy pull-backs? SCORE. So glad I am growing my hair out.
Sunglasses = Love.
Also glad that I have glasses.

Stop it-it's all too good! Those charming prints, the perfectly hats, the darling shoes, not to mention divine styling? I'm in heaven!
That first dress is PERFECT!!! Seriously, it is so lovely. I want to wear on with tights and boots for winter then with a floppy hat and bare feet for summer.
Oh.My.Gosh. I WANT IT ALL!!! That square-neck top needs to be in my closet STAT though. Like now.
PS I am such a terrible blogger!!!! I just realized that I never responded to your question. I don't actually have white denim, but I've been eyeing a pair from from Express..... What are the details of the challenge?
LOVE the first tunic! I totally feel ya on the wishy washy weather - either be cold or warm... just pick one already!
The colors, the prints! Gorgeous! Want want want!

That's so cool! Cartoon Carrie! Congrats on the feature.
That first dress is the bee's knees. True dat.
I was immediately drawn to those sunnies!
It's all fabulous - so carefree & fun, makes me really want a new wardrobe (and a new climate :)
These are such fun picks Carrie.. I especially love #3. I too cannot wait for Spring, especially this year for some reason..
I love all of the pieces you picked, you have such wonderful taste. :)

OMG, I love all of it! I think my favorite though is the Gone to Ghana Ruffle Wrap Blouse.
so fun! i know what you mean about fashion + january weather in ca. can i wear a sundress? wait, do i need my boots now? wait, what?!
i love these prints!
My mouth fell open when I witnessed the awesomeness of the first two dresses and I need to close it soon or birds will make nests in there. WOW. Love the pieces and the styling, too!
"Apparel schizophrenia" is the perfect description of what is happening in my closet, too! It rained yesterday but it's sunny today, but the wind = randomly freezing. It changes daily!
I love all these prints!! Must haves for sure. Too bad I'm broke. oh what a word.
Love those waist drop shorts. Seriously cool!
I'm waiting for Tucker to go back to Targets! I loaded up on dresses last time :) Very nice XOXO
