Here are some pics from Boy by Band of Outsiders Fall 2008 collection with Michelle Williams. I wrote about them last year and declared them to be very preppy. I have not changed my opinion on that matter, in fact I’m going to dub them nouveau preppy. These pics make me want to put on my vintage blazer (which I have been wearing a lot of) and listen to Vampire Weekend. Maybe I should smoke a pipe??

Tsk, tsk. New York Fashion Week occurred right here in my backyard and I didn’t feel the same excitement that I usually do.

I couldn’t even fake it enough, to muster up some enthusiasm. I didn’t head anywhere in the vicinity of Bryant Park. I didn’t even look at style.com to check out what came down the runways for Spring 2009. I think part of it, lies in the fact that autumn is just about to start over here and I frankly don’t care about what I should be wearing next Spring.

I’ll let you in on another secret, I don’t even feel bad about it.

Like, at all.

I only went to style.com today on a whim and saw some images from London Fashion Week and looked at Charles Anastase show and well, let’s just say I like it.

I like it very much.

So, this may be the only thing from Fashion week that I might post but I love some of the details, the quirkiness of some combinations and layers upon glorious layers.

So thank you, Charles Anastase for getting me temporarily excited about Fashion Week. I can’t guarantee its going to last, in fact I’m quite sure it won’t but thanks anyway.
