Fall 2010 Favorites

My last batch of favorites & inspiration from the Fall 2010 NY shows.

♥ Jeremy Scott spells it out for us: it's still the 80's & it's fabulous.

 ♥ Brian Reyes & Halston perfect the modern, sophisticated jumper. No child-like florals here.

♥ Oscar de la Renta & Prouenza Schouler's stunning coats provide pet-able proof that fur and plum are a divine combination.

♥ 3.1 Phillip Lim vs. L'Wren Scott beautiful black coats.

 

♥ Milly (1,3) & Tommy Hilfiger (2) make me want to be a lady in red.

♥ Prouenza Schouler brings back a fierce baby-doll dress.

♥ Tommy Hilfiger & Ralph Lauren show sassy & classy trousers for all styles.

♥ Alexandre Herchcovitch & Reed Krakoff take black some interesting places.

Note to self: make a muffler! Resist the urge to get platinum blond hair!
