SSFW'12 parte tre - Ciao Italia!

By rights I should already be onto recording my thoughts about Paris Fashion Week - I am incredibly behind with these posts! But I can't just let the wonders of Milan pass me by...
Alberta Ferreti x2, Bottega Veneta, D&G
Dolce and Gabbana x2, Emilio Pucci, Emporio Armani
Fendi, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Jil Sander
Salvatore Ferragamo, Versace, Versus
Trends to point out: flamboyant Mediterranean colours, high necklines, sharp tailoring, sandals, pastel colours (again!), bloomers still being pushed at Dolce and Gabbana, nature referenced in prints and patterns, continued allusions to sportwear, a possible increase in mini-lengths - but maybe just because it's summer?, exploration with textures, very simple hair and makeup. Let the clothes speak for themselves - they are rather fabulous.

I'd like to say a massive big thankyou to Alexa at cashmereandcandy for giving me this award!
I have to share seven random things about myself, so here goes!

1) I lived in Greece when I was younger
2) I have painted one wall in my room pink, the rest are white
3) My great-grandad was an oyster-catcher
4) I am a very quick reader - if I want to, I can read a book in one day
5) I've been to Reading Festival twice and loved it each time
6) I had my first boyfriend in nursery school, he invited me to his pirate party 
7) I had my haircut yesterday morning! I'll put pictures up later

And I've chosen 

fang ting and ashley at ftashion.blogspot.com

to give the award to next!

Thank you everyone for reading my blog, and for commenting and following (and handing out rewards!) It really means a lot to me - and I actually mean that!
