Pucci, take me away...

Sometimes, on a chilly day like today, the best thing is to imagine that you are vacationing somewhere warm and fabulous. Think Saint Tropez, the Greek Isles, the Italian Riviera...

Then imagine yourself in this fabulous pieces from Emilio Pucci's spring/summer 2011 collection. Perfect for a European beach vacay, these pieces retain the fun prints for which Pucci is known, but soften them with feminine shapes and a more muted palette.

Can't you just smell the warm, salty water of the Mediterranean? I am ready for my honeymoon now.

Thanks to FabSugar for the fabulous photos!

I see London, I see Milan

The fashionable elite have moved on to Paris, but I am still swooning over some of the amazing looks we saw in London and Milan. Both destinations showed much more color than we saw in New York, and critics agreed that Milan had one of their best showings ever. To be honest, I was a huge fan of the wearability we saw in NY, but more collections from our European counterparts knocked my socks off.

Case in point: Erdem, Holly Fulton and DSquared.

Here are my top looks from London:

Tribal chic by Holly Fulton (peep the entire collection... seriously)

Anything and everything Erdem

Christopher Kane's neon sophistication 

Peter Pilotto's pretty but edgy prints 

I'm not typically a House of Holland fan, but his S/S '11 collection had some jems, like this.

Antonio Berardi's neutral romance - with an edgy jacket

Matthew Williamson's desert island party girl

And from Milan:
