This Week in Fashion

You only get four outfits this week because I spent Monday in my pjs...perfection! I love short weeks, don't you!? Although, this week wasn't the best week to have only 4 days because we had something due to a client today and we're totally not done, but it isn't my fault so it will be okay. (still panicking a bit though.) This week was also strangely warm, I didn't have to warm my car up before work or wear a real coat...WOOHOO!

This weekend is going to be fun. I'm going to a blogger meetup tomorrow with my lovely Connecticut girls (and meeting a new one!) and then Grandma's on Sunday. Other than that I'll be relaxing and watching movies. I may have a Disney Classics marathon (abc family is having one but I want to watch more AND with no commercials.)

{it's all in the details} Burberry Prorsum F/W 2012

Time for a double dose of Burberry Prorsum F/W 2012! But today we are going to get a bit closer and look at the details from the amazing collection! I haven't done an "It's All in the Details" post in a long time, so this is way overdue.  Once again it was really hard for me to narrow down my favorites so you are getting a photo-spam. It is amazing how much detail is in these collections and how much we miss by just seeing the full outfits.

{daily inspiration / closet-worthy} Burberry Prorsum F/W 2012

[warning: super long, image spam post]
On Monday when I had my day off work I got to drool over the Burberry Prorsum Fall 2012 live-stream! I was SO glad I didn't have to miss it. The show was amazing, especially the fake thunderstorm they had at the end, it totally caught me off guard and was the perfect finish to a perfect show!

Fashion season isn't over yet but I'm going to make a prediction and guess that this will be my favorite Fall/Winter 2012 show. I always enjoy a lot of shows but I know when a show jumps out at me this much it is destined to be my favorite. I wanted to post EVERY.SINGLE.LOOK in this post and had to resist…that doesn't happen often. I'll even go further and say this may be my favorite Burberry show ever, which is saying a lot. Burberry is always my favorite, I think Christopher Bailey must read my mind. He is simply amazing and never fails to disappoint! I need to either win the lottery or rob a bank so I can buy every piece.

The dark, muted, colors, textures, stripes, draping and everything about the collection was perfect.  I also loved the bow details, silver and gold animal adornments on the belts and bags and ESPECIALLY the owl print t-shirts. I don't care how much they cost but I am going to get my hands on one of those! I'm an owl obsessed freak…maybe it comes from my Harry Potter obsession but I think they are SO cute! The menswear was also perfection, I would LOVE if my (imaginary) boyfriend wore the whole collection, especially the velvet ones...I'm a sucker for velvet.

Here we go with my favorites (there were 58, including the men, I'm posting 32...I couldn't resist!) Click to enlarge.
