I ate style.com...it took me forever SS11

Another round of fashion shows for another glorious season and in my favourite city ever: New York Fashion week has begun.

Today I lived with style.com to check out all the New York shows so far. Some of the collections have influences from fall/10, specifically when thinking about the colour palette for SS11 (which is heavily white so be prepared if you don't like the white stuff). The lady of the time for SS11 so far to me, seems like the 1970's woman, the woman we embraced for Fall/10 too, so this is great for our bank balances but for those who are not fans of the blow dried huge hair, the loose trousers and the fab spectacles this may not be too good...but I'm loving the new season! Which is fairly odd because as you guys may know, my favourite season is always Fall. The only downside I have for the new season is the shear amount of sheer fabric that's showing it's light, airy face on the runways.

Anywhoo...these are some of my favourite collections so far.
