Model and long-time face of David Jones Megan Gale bade an emotional yet gracious farewell to the David Jones runway - accepting a bunch of flowers while a flutter of "snow" rained down gently at the end of the runway. La Perla Autumn-Winter 2008-2009 Round-UpLa Perla sure didn't skimp in the use of this years sheer trend, which makes for some incredibly hot pieces. There's also a sprinking of yellow throughout the collections which really serves to brighten it up.

Blumarine Autumn-Winter 2008-2009 Round--UpI really liked the Blugirl, so I thought I might like the Blumarine collection aswell and I was right.

Blugirl Autumn Winter 08-09 Round-upI'm in love with this collection, it's just so cute from the knits to the ski googles it makes me miss the snow, and wanting to warm up in front of a fireplace.

Here are my favourites from the Blugirl collection:
