London Fashion Week Favorites

So I got really behind on this due to an extremely crazy week and a half, but here we go again with my Fashion Week favorites! I love the stylish edge of London street fashion, and the way in which that influences the runways "across the pond." Many of the same trends seen in New York popped up again in London, but with a bit of a different attitude.  My favorites were sheer maxi skirts; bold, jewel-toned graphic prints, and creative placement of the skinny belt (also seen at Theory in NYC.) My hands-down favorite shows were Mulberry and Matthew Williamson.  Once again, some may disagree, but in my opinion, here's the best of the best at London Fashion Week, Spring 2012!

Did you find yourself more inspired by New York's Fashion Week or London's?  Which Spring 2012 trend do you think is the most relevant to your wardrobe? I'm thinking this might be the year in which I dare to step outside of the box and explore colorful suit separates! 

Fashion is Cuter in Miniature

I'm totally crazy about this new ad campaign for Burberry childrenswear.  I often get excited when my favorite designers come out with new campaigns, but this is hands down my favorite thing I've seen in a long time!  Since I can't imagine anyone not ooh-ing and ah-ing over the cuteness of these kids, I totally couldn't resist sharing on my new blog.

Honestly, I have to admit that when I have kids someday, I can't imagine justifying spending the money to dress them in Burberry.  But gosh, it would be tempting, wouldn't it?  Even if you don't agree with dressing children up like sophisticated little grown-ups, anyone can take a little visual inspiration from these fabulous clothes and the rich colors and textures that unite the ads.  Looking at them definitely inspires me to want to go through my closet and get rid of everything that isn't khaki, black, and jewel tones.

What is your favorite shade for fall?  Normally I'd say plum, but that inky blue painted over the brick background is definitely calling my name!  It reminds me of one of my favorite crayons when I was a kid: midnight blue!
