inspiration: Citrus

mmmm...

Two weeks ago I received the second shipment of my Harry & David Fruit.of.the.Month Club: Honeybells.

Then last week Martha Stewart had a fabulous "Citrus Show".

Citrus colors are making me crave spring.

This was actually supposed to be yesterday's post but instead I spent hours (6 maybe?) poring over Spring 2011 RTW runway shows and designer websites to bring you my favorites. While I wouldn't go as far as saying citrus is a trend for 2011, it certainly has a presence.

Orange. Tangerine. Lemon. Grapefruit (my personal fav). Lime (not pictured).

{orange column: Lela Rose. Ali Ro. Paul & Joe. Michael Kors.

grapefruit column: Claire Danes in Calvin Klein Collection. Madewell. Elie Tahari.

lemon column: Vionnet. Michael Kors. Kate Spade. Michael Kors.}

All this citrus needs a perfect gold espadrille. Clearly my standbys (pictured right) have seen better days. Perhaps these Michael Kors are the answer.
