The European Fashion Weeks have wrapped! From London to Milan and finally to Paris, our favorite high fashion designers have given us a lot to be excited about this coming spring. So, as we all reluctantly pull out our heavy brocaded coats and fur stoles from storage (we may be in a recession…but that doesn’t mean we have to dress the part), rest assured that come spring we will be shedding those layers for some fierce and fabulous pieces!
