'Inspiration gives no warnings" ...waiting impatiently

I must say, despite my ever-evolving love of fashion, I am bored. I have been trying to gather lots of looks to bring in Spring with style, but I can't find the inspiration. Celebrity sightings- dull, fashion mags- underwhelming. I need something new and exciting but don't know where to find it. Here are a few things I'm at least looking forward to:

(1) Tomorrow night I am heading over to SHE Boutique in Lincoln Park to "Celebrate Chicago Style and Those Who Influence It" hosted by powerhouse women in the Chicago fashion scene. Hoping to meet some interesting people and track down some new trends. Always on the lookout!

(2) I am very much hoping that Patricia Field does a hell of a job styling the much anticipated Confessions of a Shopaholic movie, just so I have something new to oogle at. Here are some pics to hold you (me) over. 25 days...

I'm not really loving any of it yet- It's looking a little more fashion fantasy than fashion forward. I need a little Carrie Bradshaw & Co. back in my life.

(3) And, of course, Fashion Week is just around the corner, so hopefully spending hours watching fashion shows on Style.com will do some good...

Oh how I miss NYC and my favorite spot in the entire city, Bryant Park. Love love love.
