I ate style.com...it took me forever






For the past two days, I had to familiarise myself with the fall trends, and look at all the shows for the next season. In doing this, I can then decide on my final 3 trends I'm going to focus on for my mood boards, and as mentioned one of them being the 'ladylike' trend, specifically the 1950's/1960's lady.
