London - Spring 2010 (Part 2)

London's feeling optimistic about next Spring it seems. Their runways were positively bursting with color, florals, and white on white, which is nice. Me likey.

Basso & Brooke - Spring 2010

I was getting set to do another long ass best-of-the-spring-collections post when I found myself dragging a few too many pics from Basso & Brooke onto my desktop. It's so bright, so colorful, & so damn good-looking that I had to restrain myself from posting the whole thing.

The girl-on-the-street vibe that I was bitching about earlier, is still going strong on the runway, but I'm kinda sorta getting used to it & there have been a few snazzy exceptions.
