Credit cards at the ready friends, Myer and David Jones have come out with particularly nice-to-look-at Spring collections.

If you’re a department store shopper, last week was a probably a pretty good one. First we had Miranda Kerr and friends first showing us what we will be able to buy soon at David Jones.

Next up, Myer unveiled their Spring/Summer collection, with Jennifer Hawkins convincing us that yes, we could consider wearing out-there prints next season. Did I sound believable there? Did I? Okay let’s try again. Maybe we might, if we’re feeling really brave, try buying a small printed t-shirt. Better.

We can’t decide what’s more fun. The red carpet shots or the runway shots, so here is a gallery of both:

At Myer, Jen did her thing and made an entrance in a Toni Maticevski outfit, which probably costs more than my car, but was really quite lovely. Jayson Brunsdon, Ellery, sass & bide and Manning Cartell were among the other Australian designers who featured in the opening, while celebs; Alicia Coutts, Axle Whitehead, Jesinta Campbell and Sarah De Bono from The Voice attended Myer’s Sydney show. What fun.

Based on both shows, I predict that Spring is going to be: Bright. Colourful. Wearable (gasp!).
