The autumn / winter 2013 press days are in full swing at the moment and though I must have been invited to half of them, alas not only have I had a nasty case of the flu, I also started a brand new job last week, which has kept my bum firmly planted inside and away from the showrooms.
Though I'm sad not to be seeing some of the new collections in person I realised today I'm potentially saving myself a fortune. Looking back at the Spring / Summer press days and counting up the number of pieces I've already bought is making me feel *almost* glad I have the flu. Case is point is the white dot shirt from Selected Femme which is currently "out for delivery". Or how about the fact I've spent the past two Saturday's in Mango lying in wait for a boulche jacket to drop. I may as well go set up a bunk bed in the changing room I want so many of their pieces coming out this year...
With this in mind I've taken a little trip down memory lane and counted down my favourite press days from spring / summer 2013 below. There's still plenty to get inspired by, and still time to start shopping of course! Just click on the image to go to the full press day round-up.
