I'm not crazy about the pea green and red in the same line. The blazer paired with matching shorts will be great for Summer, though!
Alexander Wang had a sherlock holmes meets sailor collection. Although it sounds daunting it was actually quite well done.
I distinctly remember making a mental note of Alexandre Herchovitch's collection. It's filled with bright colours and knee high socks.
Classic Betsey Johnson! Over the top, girly, and irresistible.
Never seen THAT before...come on! You can do better, Calvin Klein!
Christopher Anastase's models rocked a pair of cartoon-esque overalls and a red renaissance smock. The black boots give it a modern edge.
Christopher Kane paire innocent gingham with a seductive milk maid silhouette.
DKNY manages to make high fashion pjs...that's what they look like to me, anyway. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, though! Now we can look glamorous 24/7.
Without that small heart clasp and white lace gloves I would not have been nearly as keen on that tan dress. Erin Fetherston tied these two outfits together subtly but smoothly.
Giorgio Armani made a girl look better in men's clothes then an actual man. Cheers!
Just Cavalli did not wow me by any means. He should have taken more risks and not played it so safe.
Luella dressed their models up in a 60's frock and coat, completing their signature baby doll look with a neat little bow.
Marc Jacobs more affordable line, Marc by Marc Jacobs, gives you a mismatched Out of the Closet collection. Of course, neither of these pieces would be complete with out a big bow!
My favourite pieces from Marc Jacob's collection are not necessarily the most symbolic. It's more pastel circus whereas the two looks above give off a more romantic fairy tale vibe.
Oscar de la Renta ditched the classic red gowns and opted for khaki instead. I'm loving the eccentric sleeves on that white blouse.
Prada contrasting sleek graphite grey with a bright red kiss.
Proenza Schoeler ....the attractive duo. The second look is reminiscent of one of Louis Vuitton's Fall 09 ensembles.
Ralph Lauren looking as preppy as ever.
Rodarte featuring emo black shreds that I'd hesitate before wearing.
I miss Tory Burch's old stuff but I guess she can't design embroider hippie clothing forever.
Vera Wang did not blow me away.

Vivienne Westwood is charming as always. The white lace ups are similar to a pair of Ann Demeulemeester's. She's setting the stage for a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang picnic.
Zac Posen picked great colours for these pieces. Also, the collars were a nice touch along with the tiny black heart on the yellow dress. Bonjour!
It is one in the morning and I am absolutely exhausted. I haven't posted in over a week because school has been very hectic. Here's what I think will happen from now on. I'll do a bunch of posts one night a week so that I can focus more on homework. I have also decided to change my font, as a lot of people have complained that Courier was too hard to read. I know this post is exceedingly long but I felt it necessary to thoroughly represent Spring 2010. I've simplified things so that you don't have to watch each collection of each designer in order to get the gist of upcoming trends. Please take in to consideration that I have not commented on every single designer I would have liked to. That would have taken me waay too long and I need sleep. Instead I picked a handful of my favourite designers and then chose two pieces from each that spoke to me. Some common themes were big hair bows, bright colors, khaki, knee high socks, and leather saddle shoes. I see a lot of romantic old-fashion inspired ensembles. I'd type more but my pillow is all too inviting.
xoxo Valentine
