talk about color!  bags were shown in day-glo oranges, pinks & limes. (although my favorites are the white celine & the dries metallic clutches) amazing jewelry - from simple & chic to big & chunky.  yves saint laurent had jewelry with the fingerprints (slightly altered) of stefano pilati while lanvin showed chunky bugs & insects along with sublime, simple arm bracelets.  i really, really loved the accessories at isabel marant - i am dying for the simple red necklace!  there were also tons of great belts - even comme des garçons showed belts!  and sunglasses were inspired by the 20s and 60s.  ahhhh so many beautiful things i want!
