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
