fast forward to fall.

Swooning over fall fashions. Although I have been working out what to wear for spring and summer, I cant help but share my lusts, with a few unexpected favourites.

The second installment of the Colour Blocked Collections Posts.

A more subtle palette of classic tones when worn together, also the perfect base for an
 insertion of colour seen in the first catwalk collage post here.

I am so inspired with an overdose of beautiful clothes for this spring/summer.

What are your favourite looks / colours?

Katie's 2010 final catwalk reports.

10. Knitwear- wear both day & night- oversized and slouchy seen at Michael Kors & Alexander Wang, or keep a sleek silhouette with simple knits at Stella McCartney.

11. leather- add leather for a tough edge or pair with a crisp white shirt for a sleek celine inspired look.

lace- work it for the daytime too- look out for a masculine shirt made of delicate lace- seen at Burberry Prorsum.

12. Rich hues and offbeat colours pack an awesome punch. Look out for gold, ochre, rust, khaki and wine.

The final part of my Autumn/Winter 2010 catwalk reports. If you have missed the 1st and 2nd installments, check them out here, and here. Im sure I will be incorporating many of these trends in outfits over the next few months.

 6.Minimalism- a refreshing, clean silhouette- focus on great cuts, and beautiful lines.

7. The tapered trouser, or rolled hem jean provides the perfect contrast to a mannish coat or oversized knit. Wear with a chunky cardi and lingerie top as seen at Dolce and Gabanna for that added 'Va Va Voom'. 

8. Decadance and Gold- a look i'm sure we will be seeing on the amazing Anna Dello Russo this a/w. Let the dress take centre stage with minimal accessories.

9. Skirts- a strong focus on 1950's styles at Prada, Fendi and Louis Vuitton embracing a feminine figure. Both Short & flirty, & longer lengths were also seen at Marc Jacobs, Isabel Marant, Philip Lim.

Part 2 of the catwalk reports. I hope you enjoyed the first installment featured here! Take a look through classic modern minimalist outfits - my favourites were seen at Stella McCartney, Celine, Aquascutum and Dries Van Noten, through to the most opulent maximalist creations from Balmain and Philip Lim.

Look out for part 3 coming next week! 

katie's 2010 catwalk reports part 1.

1. Invest in fur.. shearling, if budget allows..both. Aside from the staple aviator jacket or coat, fur snoods, mittens, hats,  shearling boots are alternative ways to embrace the trend.

2. Get glamourous and grungy, have fun contrasting evening wear, with knits and bedhair.

3. Wear head to toe of one colour- colour block to take the 'effort' out of 'outfit'.

4. Timeless investement- the camel coat. Opt for slightly offbeat tones as a less obvious choice.

5. Mix shades of sand, fudge and toffee with greys to add a laid back feel.

Part 1 of the 'catwalk reports' I have been slaving away at working on. After weeks of immersing myself in the trends for the coming seasons, I struggle to find a trend report that ticks all the boxes for my personal taste. Inspiration has been drawn from Harpers, Elle, Vogue, style, stella, net-a-porter, style.com, Elle collections, and here are the results....( if ever struggling with what to wear- a great reference)

Look out for Part 2 next week!

( designers featured- 3.1 Philip Lim, Ann Demulemeester, Aquascutum, Burberry Prorsum, Chanel, Celine, Chloe, Dries Van Noten, Isabel Marant, Julien Macdonald, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors,Richard Chai Love)
