This is our time

J. Crew Aberdeen Fair Isle Sweater, $98

Levi's moonbeam corduroys, $58

Diemme Roccia Vet leather boots, $395

I feel like autumn (what little autumn there actually is in New York City) is the time that those who love getting dressed can really shine.  Chilly enough to actually have some clothes on, but warm enough that we needn't be buried under layers of blankets and puff.  This is the perfect outfit for a stroll through Greenwich Village on a sunny-chilly Saturday.

S/S'12 Favorite: Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci

Erin Wasson

Tilda Lindstam

Nyasha

Joan Smalls

Aline

Aside from a series of vaginal garments in the middle of the show, I adored Givenchy's spring collection.  Airy, tough and gorgeous!

Nothing to prove

Sarah Burton, fresh off her global smash success as the Duchess's Designer, created a spring collection for Alexander McQueen that defies description and inspires fantasy - a frothy whirlwind of genius.  I'm speechless!

S/S'12 Favorites: Yves Saint Laurent

I cannot get over YSL!

S/S'12 Favorites: Lanvin

Freja

Daphne

Karmen

Jac

Nyasha

Miranda

Nana

Slinky, sexy, cool.  It's becoming almost cliché to like Alber's work every damn micro-season, but you can't knock the hustle.  Not to mention some of the best casting in the game.

One look: Hermes

Fatima Siad

As though you could survive next summer without a million-dollar tangerine suede gym short.

Preparations

I hope @OscarPRGirl won't mind my re-posting these gorgeous photos of the preparation leading up to Oscar de la Renta's fantastic spring runway show.  Above is the showroom the day before the show, and below are the first few walkers getting their final touch-ups from masters Orlando Pita (hair) and Gucci Westman (makeup).  L-R: Arizona Muse, Liu Wen, Chantal Stafford-Abbott and opener Emily Baker.
