I Heart… Pringle of Scotland (Spring 2010 RTW)

Unfortunately, this post is coming a wee bit (okay, a lot) later than originally intended. Bad Krissy, bad! I would send myself to my room without dinner, but I don’t really think that would accomplish anything. (Also, I have a big box of animals crackers hidden under my bed, so the effort would be a smidge redundant, though quite delicious. :P Animal crackers in my soup, monkeys and lions loop-de-loop…)

Back on topic, though. I come bearing more prettiness from ‘Fashion Month’ – because really, after a week in NYC, a week in London, a week in Paris, and a week in Milan, it should be called Fashion Month, not Fashion Week. Clearly these designers, while incredibly, incredibly brilliant do not understand a timeless staple of the human race known as the calendar (oooo! aaaah!) – this time in the form of… Pringle of Scotland!

Well, hello there chunky knitwear! There’s something so endearing and personal about knitwear. I think because when I was younger, my aunt would knit me sweaters all the time, so I think I just associate them with love, family, warmth, all that warm and fuzzy stuff. So I’m always very drawn to things that look hand-crafted. They’re made with love! Awww!

So soft and pretty.

So adorable! Of the collection, I think this is my favourite piece. It has a very simple silhouette, but it has so many eye-catching little details.

Jacket/cape-thing of upmost feirce-ness.

I love the layered hemline of this dress. It’s so geometrically strict (made of square-shaped pieces of fabric), but even with such a harsh shapes, it still holds a lot of beauty and grace.

This is so adorable, I just want to pinch its non-existent cheeks! I love the subtle texturing and shaping on the top, and the way the skirt floats around her hips. Very lovely and dreamy.

More floaty skirt love, but in a lovely carmel-y brown.

Ruffle love!

I’m reminded of this peep-holed knitted poncho I had when I was seven. I loved that thing so much, the wool had shredded away until it it was no more than a pile of string. Oh, the nostalgia. … end trip down memory lane. I think this is super fun. It adds a little whimsy to an otherwise run-of-the-mill gray dress.

Simple, classy, elegant. If I could pull off banana yellow, I’d wear this. (Pastels hate me. It’s a known fact.)

I’m not a huge fan of fur, fake or otherwise. I just don’t really like it. It seems stuffy and reminds me of stuffy old grandmas who wear caked on foundation and smell like a closet. But I like this. (As much as I can like something in fur, that is.) It’s like high-end fashionista meets Pocahontas.

I like this take on the classic ‘little black dress’. It’s very casual but still polished and sophisticated.

Tone-on-tone at its very best with lots of subtle patterning to energize the piece.

More fantastic tone-on-tone action. (This collection rocks the tone-on-tone look. Spot on!) Loving the mixture of matte versus shiny versus metallic; it really adds interest and a touch of glamour to an otherwise monochromatic ensemble.

I adore how light, airy and easy-going this line is. Usually you associate knit-wear with winter and colder weather, but I think they’ve captured the freshness and bounce of the spring quite well, and have really transformed something with such a closed-box association into something much more versatile. This collection really exudes relaxed chic to me. It’s cozy and snugly, but it still has a high level of sophistication and femininity. High five, Pringle of Scotland. High five.
