Shop-a-Matic

February 23rd, 2010

When I was approached by New York Mag to pick some of my favorite Spring clothes for Shop-a-Matic, I could barely contain my excitement. The wonderfully executed site consistently puts forth the most inspirational pieces and I got to sort through only the best of the best. Ranging from a “meant-to-be-noticed” nude bra and paperbag shorts to watercolor print dresses and strategic cut-outs, I selected my favorite items in price ranges that can work within anyone’s budget.

What’s on your must-have list for spring?

I love love love the “Jolly Roger” jacket by Nanette Lapore!
My list for spring is. light flowy dresses, skinny jeans, wide leg trousers, coloured shirts (instead of the blues, greys and black that I keep wearing), flirty skirts, classy heels, gladiator sandals (no more flip flops!). Now to start actually making my closet “grow”.

my one and only must-have for spring? to finally be able to take off all the leggings and the tights from my gams so they can finally breathe in some of the fresh spring air!

I would wear the laced top tucked into the paperbag shorts, topped off by the Ali Ro anorak. Such pretty textures to mix together.

Love your pics! I need to check out that site, too. It looks fab! My picks are BRIGHT colored dresses & shoes to spice up my largely-black wardrobe…..wildly printed dresses/skirts…… and some kick ass flats adorned with stones, rhinestones, or something flashy

I love your choices! Now, speaking of you, NY Magazine, and Coach — about 10 pages into the current issue of NY Mag (with Christina Hendricks on the cover) there is a Coach ad for the GREATEST SANDALS I HAVE EVER SEEN, and I can’t find them online or anywhere. You have magical powers with Coach. Where are they? Where??

LOVE the Key Lime Anorak by Ali Ro you chose. That would be so perfect here in San Francisco, where even during Spring it’s a little cold & windy. Hmm… I may have to splurge.

My must have is Strappy, Colorful, Heels! I’m so sick of flat boots for the winter. As a side note, I NEED the All Saints Dayta jacket. I just visited their site – thank you for introducing me to an incredible line. The vintage collection = my style.. Love at first click.
Your blog is incredible, I’m spreading the word to anyone who will listen! Thank you for endless fashion, fun, diy, and recipes! <3

I agree with Katie’s comment above…your average price point in this loot of clothes is $323. That is clearly not within the average person’s ability to spend on one item of clothing. I make 6 figures and can’t afford to drop $300 on one item of clothing. If you could make picks that the average person could truly afford, I think that would be more helpful (average price point <$100).

Of course my favorite is the very most expensive item: the Drape-Neck Jacket by Vince. Well, I *am* getting a rather large tax return this year…

Love! Great picks. My fav has to be that bra…so adorable~!

i love your choices! i have a few of my own as well. I would like a few new skirts and dresses. I would also like some new spring/summer pants perhaps some cropped ones. I am also in search of a nice spring coat something light weight that can be worn out on the town and not just in the rain. So yes i have quite a list:)

J’adore the v-cut out dress by Funktional. But I think I’m biased… I’m always drawn to anything coral, its such a beautiful, classic colour.
