Jack Frost at best.

1. Stripey shadows make everything that much more vintage
2. I hadn't had a milkshake in a year and a half
3. Button Down, Belt, Cut-offs, Clutch
4. Katie looking angelic: "What you talkin' bout, Willis?"
5. My braiding efforts - it's my new pastime: I officially mastered zigzag braids last week
6. Embellishment on Katie's amazing Zac Posen top (I die a little every time I look at it)
7. Shadows in some shady lane, as shady lanes tend to have
8. Tash contemplating life

Some more photos from Friday, as promised. All the shots are either by Tash or myself - a result of a big-breath-out kind of day to take advantage of the long weekend. I love how biting Sydney Winters can be, and yet the minute you stand in a pitiful patch of sunlight, you're all toasty. Love that word.

The light also makes for the sun flares I have such a fetish for - so dreamy.

What have you all been up to this weekend? Surely you can't beat being reunited with a milkshake and out-toddlering the toddler in some sleepy little park :)

Pre-Fall 2010.

I've decided to do just one massive post on my favourite Pre-Fall collections so far. And there's a fair few. Enjoy :)

So first, we have the lovely Zac Posen with the signature red lips and preschooler-meets-fashionable-old-Parisian-lady. Mia Rossing got a fairly good run.

I cannot even begin to tell you how obsessed I am with the Alexander Wang collection. For starters, Liu Wen is so beautiful. Second, I don't think black has ever looked so interesting and wearable. Giles-Deacon-esque sunnies?

Burberry Prorsum: SHOES. And ruffles.

Tango-inspired Carolina Herrera gave, I think, Zac Posen a good run for his money. Patterns were very original and rather authentic. Cuts were a bit reminiscent of last season's Thakoon and Zac Posen again.

Diane Von Furstenberg was very let's-style-stalk-all-the-capital-cities-of-the-world-and-smoosh-them-into-one-outfit-twenty-four-times. I like. :)

The neckplate in every second outfit from Elie Tahari was my life for the 5 mintues it took to flick through the collection. The target audience was obviously a bit older, and more professional, but I wouldn't mind owning the jewellery, the bags and the shoes. And the foil-print dress.

Michael Kors reminded me of Victoria Beckham - not the label: the Queen VB herself with her outrageous coffee break outfits. Loved the waist-zippers though.

The cape from the Narciso Rodriguez (below) has sparked a slight liking for the top-heavy jacket thing happening this Pre-Fall. Not on me though... I'd tip over sideways :)

And now, we finish with "young, confident and drop-dead sexy" inspired, apparently, by night-lights of Tokyo. My head says that it won't be long before those bodycons hit Red Carpets.

Again: SHOES.

Alors, ceci conclut la liste de préférés de Pre-Fall 2010.

A beau jour.

Zac Posen for Target.

Here comes another runway designer hitting Target - slightly differently this time. "It's not Zac-for-less - it's not the little sister collection at all." It's something sportier and very different to those gowns of Paris.
