Oh hey WIT & Whimsy readers…I’m officially in New York…what what! No surprise here, but already loving it…

However, I must start this weekly roundup by gushing a little over my Thursday night because it was such a thrill to be invited to Blue Stripe PR’s first ever blogger event wherein I was able to meet favorite bloggers of mine like effortless beauty, Keiko Lynn, classic chic meets urban street blogger Kim from eat.sleep.wear, and see certain bloggers who frankly, I’ve loved and adored for so long now that to be in the same room with them was a little bit like experiencing being starstruck. They included Something Navy, Trop Rouge (so pretty, it’s unreal) and…oh yes…The Man Repeller. Then there were also favorite blogger friends like the gorgeous Laney of Fashion Love Me (thank you for the invite!), Virginia of The Lovely 20s, Danny of the modman and Taylor of Shut Up, I Love that Shirt on You. Blue Stripe represents some awesome brands like Amanda Pearl, Mike Gonzalez and WIT & Whimsy favorite, Joie (seriously, do you see how much I wear and blog about Joie?!).

Now, without further adieu, here’s your weekly dose of all things fresh and fun this week from some of our favorite bloggers!

A new blog I just started following, Fashion Squad, is killing it in this awesome graphic print dress. I love the boldeness of it and vibrancy of colors. Perfect pop in a much needed gray winter.

Capitol Hill Style, always the investigative sort, determined an outragous little thing happening online between a major fashion brand and some vintage retailers on etsy.

My friend Jenny recently started a Tumblr, Bunny Days, and I love that it’s all such pretty photos that make you feel inspired, want to be cozy, or feel extra stylish.

Because I’m Addicted had me wishing for warm weather after touching down in NY from CA, but her photos from Vogue Turkey are amazing and make you feel like you’re there (well, almost. I’d need to shed a few pounds and get me some tan going on :))

The spring 2011 lookbook for Club Monaco is now available for preview and FashionPulseDaily has the scoop.

oh joy! turned me onto the stellar vintage merchant American Archive in this post. Love the pieces she selected to highlight.

p.s. – I was newly introduced to the line ROMYGOLD and am kind of in love with their bags. Simple, yet chic and extremely versatile. Just my style! They actually just relaunched their website, too, so be sure to check it out.

p.p.s – The winner of the Hats in the Belfry giveaway is Alyson B. from New York, NY! CONGRATS!
