Yes it has been some time since my last posting. Without going into a whole mess of details, the holidays, family obligations, and illness have kept me off the blogosphere, but things are starting to settle down, so I'll be back to regular posting from now on.
Now, for business--Pre Fall 2013 Collections!!!! Here is what I'm responding to.

This is the next step (in my opinion) on the whole matching pattern trends from the Fall. I love how the top and pants reverse each other. It's a fresh take on the matchy matchy dressing.
I love the tough, yet feminine vibe of this outfit. Leather is definitely a fabric I need to incorporate into more of my looks. For me the cut and shape of the skirt keeps it from being too bikerish.
I'm responding to the mixed hem lengths in this look. Layering three different hems works here and it's an idea to try, but I'm thinking very strict/sharp lines are called for in order to pull it off.
Again, am really digging the strict silhouette and vertical interest in the cardigan and seam of the trousers, this could be fairly flattering if attempted in real life.
I am loving these pants! And the color combo here, of dark red, peach, yellow. Not the easiest to mix together, but a great template to go off in the attempt.
I am such a sucker for grey and camel. Give me a lean wool trouser and a straight up-and-down overcoat and I'm all yours. I know I do play with patterns a lot in my outfitting (and of course color) but I'm always attracted to the idea of simplicity. But, if the fit and fabric are not exact simple pieces can end up looking boring.
In this second Reed Krakoff we have that square/lean silhouette with a bit of playfulness in the pants, which(in my assessment) also holler back to the fabulous pants from Ports 1961 above. The idea of pairing a patterned trouser (that's also fitted) with a strong blazer is (for me) more realistic to pull off in real life.
Regardless of playing with pattern, hem length, silhouette sometimes girl just needs a suit:
I'm really digging the cut here. Not ultra-skinny/cropped bottoms as we seen in the past, nor are the pants huge, which has also been a trend here recently. Just a nicely tailored, modern, and interesting trouser and blazer.
So that's a bit of my thoughts on the current Pre-Fall collections. I'm hoping to explore a few more before the week is out. And definitely I'll be posting a couple outfit shoots here this week.
