It's good to be a girl.

A round up of the shows from London and Milan is a bit over do. London goes by so quickly and suddenly we're well into Milan. It certainly is a lot to look at. So far, my favorites have been the girly, ultra feminine collections that manage to avoid veering into looking childish. I imagine the girl in these clothes to be soft and demure, albeit whip-smart and capable of kicking you where it counts if you give her any trouble.

Gianfranco Ferré SS10

Yet again I'm setting goals to wear more pale shades. No need to toss out the red lipstick though. I mean if Miuccia Prada says it's okay...

Ti amo, Italia

In case you haven't noticed, Milan is KILLING IT.

Missoni F/W 09

Layers and layers of gorgeous knits. The palette through out this whole show was so damn inspiring. Next winter I might even try to avoid wearing all black.

Gianfranco Ferré F/W 09
Wait, maybe not entirely. Black is where it's at. And I can't wait to see how this linebacker shoulder trend plays out.

Jil Sander F/W 09

I'm not sure my eyes have ever seen such gorgeous, gorrrrrrrrrgeous, impeccably tailored pieces. Breathless, still.
