All the best things about Burberry Prorsum Spring 2010 RTW

...A little dash of ruched wedding fun, a mini scoop of mint ice cream and

a large helping of the classic Burberry trench, make for all the loveliness that is

Burberry's Spring season.

Hot Damn

Sure sure sure, homegirl's been featured before.
Both on the sidebar and the main-stage, but little queen's got a style

worth discussing again.
Here again for your styling pleasure, is the glamourai

Worried how to style your season old goucho-eque pants or casual plaid top?

No fear dear, our girl will show us the way.

Of particular interest to our budgeted crew is her incorporation of 12by12 and h&m goodies

Death by Stare

PYfling is nominating Daveigh Chase (in red) as "it girl" of the moment. We're way into Miss Thang's killer stare. I'm so looking forward to seeing more of this Pretty Young Fling.

Oh and P.S. ..check out her snotty 'tude on HBO's Big Love
