I'm not going to lie...

I wanted to hate it.

And yet.   I can't.  Because it's actually quite good.

A little boring, and certainly "borrowing" a lot from other designers (Roland Mouret anyone?), Victoria Beckham's Fall 2010 Collection was surprising better than expected.  She actually made the jump from Sweet Face and Lohan leggings to the Elizabeth and James successful side of celebrity fashion lines.   Perhaps the reason her sophomore collection was acclaimed over other celebrity "designers" is that she makes clothes you could actually see her wearing.  She features clean lines with beautiful seaming, slim figure flattering silhouettes, and recession-friendly colors that can easily fit in most women's wardrobes.

In the name of all things fabulous, I give you Marchesa...

Ribbons, bows, and oversized tulle rosettes, oh my!  This uber-feminine collection is delicately constructed while remaining completely wearable (Oscar prediction anyone?).  Marchesa showcases the reemergence of "pretty", something that we've been missing at the tents this season.  This dreamy collection will certainly be on the top of my wishlist come Fall!
