On the fifth day of fashion week

On this fifth day of fashion week I've realized how much I really want to do this for the rest of my life. I want to report on fashion. I've found my calling, does this mean I can move to New York right now?

A side note: sorry these pics are so small lately, I've been grabbing them from NYMag and style.com. For some reason they are just not loading as big as the ones in previous posts. My apologies.

Zac Posen (look 39)
The progression of this particular collection has me thinking of what Judy Jetson would wear as she travels to Earth from her futuristic, intergalactic space.
Carolina Herrera (look 26)
I heard more about the bloody ball gown, animal head guy on 6th Ave. than what happened inside the tent. But what happened inside the tent will be all over the red carpet, I guarantee it. Intricate beading and the most interesting necklines I've seen yet. Not to mention some really great textures.
Donna Karan (look 8)
Donna Karan makes the thought of living life in shades of gray really enticing with splashes of orange. DK really understands the female body and draping. She also understands that her consumers will more than likely be 30- and 40-something women, who are sure to love this line.

Tracy Reese (look 27)
I got a really youthful and playful vibe from this collection. It's very girly and just has a great energy to it.
Marc Jacobs (looks 8 and 30)
There is an undeniable 1940s feel to this, which I'm a total sucker for, so of course love! Also a hint of the Gaga movement, a few looks sans pants, but with really cute frilly knickers. Lots of ruffles, not a bad thing in my book. Overall a very satisfying collection. I wish I could have seen it in person! It also looks like he wants fanny packs to come back. No comment.

Jill Stuart (look 3)
More illusion fabric and interesting necklines. Cut outs galore. Super short skirts (I'm pretty sure I saw cheek on look 28, from the front...). Strong shoulders.
