Daily Inspiration: Matthew Williamson, Issa, Elie Saab and Prada Spring 2012

This is the last of the Spring 2012 collections that I'm posting. First up is Matthew Williamson. I love the colors and prints in this collection. A lot of these looks would totally work for Fall, but Fall is pretty much coming to a close now so they would need a heavy jacket.

Issa:The bottom three looks I chose are my favorites, the print is amazing and would look wonderful at the beach.  The top 3 are more upscale and would work for dinner parties or other fancy events.

Elie Saab: I loved the rich colors of this collection. It is so glamorous, I just wish I had an occasion to wear something like this.  The cuts are so amazing and would flatter almost anyone.  If you switched out the fabrics in the shorter dresses to jersey or another more casual material they would definitely be great for work environments as well.

Prada: This collection was so fun, I loved all the car themed shoes. But I decided to post some more wearable looks.  The length of the skirts is perfect, they aren't too short and they aren't too long.  And the bathing suit has an amazing cut, I would definitely rock that on the beach.

    Swoon! These are some of my fav designers and they delivered. Such pretty looks. I really like the coral pants and print top in the MW collection.

    Elie Saab! Yes! Especially that second dress, the white mini one. It would be so much fun to dress down! And up, but yeah...I don't really have an occasion that would call for that.

    Great picks! I loved Prada's collection - the car theme, especially the print was so fab! Elie Saab's colors are always so strong and I love that he presents the colors together.
