I absolutely loved this look when I saw Kate at London Fashion Week. It's quirky & classic at the same time. Unfortunately, Kate's outfit is comprised of mostly Burberry and other high end {read: $$$$} pieces. The options above create a similar look for a fraction of the cost. The sweater is my favorite and you cannot beat the price point. Not feeling the owl? It also comes in fox & sheep. Also here's another great option for the skirt and it's even cheaper at only $39!

None of those things were on my short list of things to get done, but they all seemed more appealing than my original "to do" list. 

So, I know I promised a run-down of this seasons designer collabs. Well this post is pretty accurately titled, because I'm going to give you exactly that - the quick and dirty. Once these collections start rolling out I will be checking them out in person and reporting back. So for now here's the internet hype for Fall/Winter 2012...
