First of all, I hope everyone had an enjoyable long weekend (I'm not sure which countries had a long weekend, but here in Canada we celebrated Victoria Day on Monday). Mine was good for the most part, with horseback riding, visiting my brother who I haven't seen in months and hanging out with friends. Unfortunately, it ended unpleasantly with a trip to the emergeny room (my bf broke his foot playing frisbee). Hope everyone's weekend was lovely (and perhaps a bit less eventful than mine).
Second, I wanted to talk about the Burberry Prorsum resort 2011 collection. I'm a big fan of Burberry Prorsum (what can I say, I love trenches). There were some absolutely gorgeous pieces shown in the resort collection, including dresses, tops and coats. However, my only complaint was that it didn't feel very 'resort' to me. Resort is something I feel should be perfect for wearing on holiday, but these pieces would feel more an home in my fall wardrobe. What do you think? Are seasons just words used to organized collections or should a collection be designed with a season and/or destination in mind? (Photos from style.com)
Crop tops, leather shorts and studded-bottom bags. What more did you expect from Alexander Wang? While I can't say I'm completely on the Wang bandwagon, I've always liked some pieces from each of his collections. In this resort collection, there was some gorgeous draping. Despite the presence of leather and coats, the collection felt light and 'resort'.What do you think? (Photos from style.com)
If you're a follower of the blog, you know that Christian Dior is one of my favourite labels. That said, I was not entirely impressed with the resort 2011 collection. I felt it lacked the magic of previous Christian Dior shows. Maybe that has something to do with it being a resort collection, with less critique from large publications, but I was still a bit disappointed. While I was not thrilled with the show, there were still some pieces I'm in love with. I love the candy coloured gowns and I absolutely adore the striped top and skirt. What do you think?

So I wanted a do a quick review of the Chanel resort collection. To be honest, I wasn't overly impressed with the collection. I felt it had too many things going on, from caftans to crop tops to safari outfits. That said, Lagerfeld did put out some very pretty pieces. I'm completely in love with the plaid top. Definitely wishing that would appear in my closet! (Photos from style.com)
