all along the tuileries.

Twice a year I spend a ridiculous amount of time at my computer watching, reading, and studying..... FASHION WEEK. I pick my favorite looks and compile them because I am seeing the shows an entire season early.

From N.Y.C. to L-O-N-D-O-N and then on to Milan & PARIS - I enjoy it all. Paris fashion week has always been my favorite because since it is last and brings a month of fashion to a close, I like to think of it as the grand finale.For those of you unfamiliar, the designers show Spring lines starting in September and Fall lines starting in February, before you have even gotten a chance to wear what you saw last time.

This begins my post of my favorites from Fashion Week Spring 2011. Some collections were so good they have been reserved for a post of their own, while some posts will have picks from multiple collections.

FYI : If you do not enjoy fashion as much as me, you'll want to skip this post and the 5 or so that will follow.
