CHARLOTTE RONSON
Miss Ronson hit all the nails on the head with her show - reinterpreting a lot of the current trends (denim, plaid, sheer). Her collection had a delicious grungy-ballerina-off-duty look. The contrasts between the two ideas shouldn't work, but they sure as hell do.
I love the nude palette of tones; soft ballet pinks and creamy tans. These offset the beat up and shredded denim pieces perfectly, not to mention the chain and embellished details, and the injections of sharp black. I particularly love the endearing quirkiness of the (perfect) pink blazer with the plaid shirt.
The darker looks worked equally well. Love the shear black tees.
A splash of brighter colour was provided by the perfect shades of sky blue and chambray (both die hard faves of mine). I'm totally digging short suits a the moments, so the blue one ticked all the boxes. I also have the urge to start tying my shirts... Which I haven't done since the age of about seven.
ERIN WASSON X RVCA
This year, our girl Erin was playing with the big boys at the tents - and did not disappoint. The collection perfectly captured her trademark and much lusted after grunge-hippie aesthetic - with some refreshingly simple and timeless pieces thrown in (like a lovely "frumpy length" stripe skirt).
I particularly love the dye-ey pieces in a myriad of blues; they don't scream tie-dye, more evoking the ocean and the sky. Killer cut offs are an unsurprising, but very welcome feature. And I love that oversized breton top on Irina.
I love the soft tailoring of the nude-toned outfit on the left. And the spotty, midrif baring shirt on Freja - although I think I'd double the amount of my daily sit-ups before I slipped into that. And hello "Keep It Neil" tee! Being a major Neil Young fan, this I obviously love.

I loved the slick and futuristic metallic pieces from Preen's collection. The leggings I would do in a heartbeat. That dress however? I admire from afar, but god you would need killer body confidence to handle that baby.

I seriously love every single look in that post. They have sort of inspired my entire wardrobe for this spring!
I'm a fan of Neil Young, too, and I love that shirt. Not sure I want to shell out $60, though.
