Burberry Prorsum PF09

So let me just say...Burberry's pre-fall collection is SOOO my favorite so far. Christopher Bailey is a man after my own heart and hard earned dollars. His pre-fall lady is luxe, profoundly thin (I mean who else can play up volume yet have the girls look so thin?), and a bit on the dark side.

The black, navy, and most beautiful cobalt color palette has it's soft moments with the occasional sweep of violet, aqua, and silver. I love the blue color of the dress/coat above...STUNNING. Also the tie-dye print dress...um I need it now. However, my favorite piece in the whole collection is the cropped volume taupe pea-trench, quilted no less!

Accessories were more understated than Bailey's previosu seasons, however I love the chunky peeptoe platform worn with most looks. The navy metallic tights were a nice touch as well.

Bravo Bailey, bravo!

Karl, always the showman, didn't let us down as he took us on a magical journey to Russia with his pre-fall collection. Huge golden and black headresses, bear fur tall hats, are sure to make all the heads turn.

I'll be honest, I wasn't that impressed with the wearability of this particular collection, I don't think metallic "Russian men leg dancing" jodpuhrs are for me. However, some of my favorite moments, were the grey cashmere cardi and scarf combo complete with logo and stripe...adorb. Another, the tall over-the-knee black leather boots...LOVE...must have! I also thought the little accents like the Russian doll embellished fan and the mini quilted purselets. My favorite looks are above.

All-in-all, lovely.

Hello lovers! I apologize for my long departure, however sometimes a girl needs some time to herself and her Hermes you know what I mean?

Anyway pre-fall collections are starting to roll in and who couldn't be more excited, but me? Who shall we start with, but one of my dear faves ZP? For pre-fall Zac has gone old school glam. Much like his earlier repertoi, Zac's fall lady is polished, elegant, and drop dead sexy. Posen said this collection is "all about attitude" and boy is it. Expert draping, nip pleats, and structured ruffles are accented by daring red satin and the softest mauve chiffon. It kind of says bedroom, in a I'm going to rock your world without ruining my pin curls sort of way.

Can someone ask Marilyn which red lipstick she prefers? I'm going to need it.
