I don't often like to do posts on a city's Fashion Week. I feel that everybody else covers it oh-so well and that there is simply nothing more to say.

However....I just can't help myself this time around.

New York Fashion Week Fall 2010, you've got my heart.

In quick summary, it is once again all about black but with muted shades of grey and more neutral nude and beige tones. Ankle boots have yet to see their hey day and this year around they appear chunkier than ever (thank you shoe gods!). White tights are the new opaques and grey ribbed leggings shall be my new best friend. Also noted is an extreme amount of layering and draping. I am gladly celebrating the return of draping...nothing excites me more than draped dresses, skirts, jumpers, anything draped and oversize has well and truly got me hooked.

So there you have it. For a self confessed extreme winter-hater I sure am getting excited about the autumn that is fast approaching, so long as each of these pieces above are placed nicely in my wardrobe by summer's end....

New York, New York Mercedes Benz Fashion week....oh what I would do to be there.

To be there, standing side by side Jen Brill, Erin Wasson, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Carine Roitfeld, Alexa Chung, Philip Lim, MK and Ashley, Diane Von Furstenberg, Dasha Khukova, Nate Lowman, the list could go on forever but instead I sit here on the other side of the world, perusing snap after- after party snap, dreaming away.

Alexander Wang, Charlotte Ronson, Preen and Yigal Azrouel consist of my favourites thus far. Now back to that dream...
