Sheer, nude, leopard, and with pops of orange, mint ice and yellow, Giambattista Valli Spring 2011 collection certainly rubbed me the right way the minute it hit the runway. I especially appreciate Valli’s interpretation of the 60s mod dress.

Simple, beautiful, clean, practical, smart. Chloé brought a whole lotta what I’m already loving for this fall (longer layers, simpler dressing) into next spring, but gave it a more polished edge. And the hair? Slicked back buns? Yay! That’s my go-to look.

Stella McCartney always gets it right, does she not? Her Spring 2011 collection is yet another clean one I’m dying to don. The third look above–the vest dress–has a completely open back that would make my boyfriend purrrr.

Another understated, elegant collection came from Akris, who also added a bit more color to the runway, as well as more lax, draped silhouettes. Not gonna lie, I’m sort of dying for all the looks shown above.
