NYFW Christian Siriano S/S 2013

9 Sep

WOW!!!!!!! Christian Siriano presented his Spring Summer 2013 collection and it was PRETTY!  I loved how feminine the pieces were and the use of pastels was perfect. I am also a huge fan of the loose ballerina buns that the models wore, that is my go to hairstyle for Spring and Summer. The use of feminine oxfords in addition to heels was a nice change of scenery during NYFW as well.  Just when I though the collection couldn’t get any prettier, out came some of the most beautiful dresses and gowns I have ever seen -many of which had incredibly intricate pearl embellishments and details one could only dream of! I envisioned my wedding day all over again, stunning! I absolutely loved this collection!  Still catching my breath!

Cap Toe Shoes Are Here To Stay

9 Sep

Cap toe heels were spotted everywhere this Summer, and the trend is moving along right into Fall.  This style is called “cap toe” for the piece of material that covers just the toe of the shoe.  Not only have they been spotted on major runways- Chanel, Salvatore Ferragamo and Yves Saint Laurent but celebrities have gone cap toe crazy as well. Cap toe styles are sleek and chic and can be worn with most anything from dresses to pants. Not a heel girl?????? No problem!  This trend works no matter what shoe style you prefer.  The cap toe translates well from heels to flats.

NYFW Hervé Léger S/S 2013 Collection

9 Sep

The Spring Summer 2013  Hervé Léger by Max Azria collection.

There was the usual crepe and body-con band dresses that we have come to expect BUT most of them were shown with high contrast leather harnesses for a twist, carrying the hard and soft theme throughout the show, which I thought was pretty cool.  This collection was inspired by Helmut Newton’s photography as was Jason Wu’s. View the entire collection here.

NYFW Charlotte Ronson S/S 2013 Collection

8 Sep

New York Fashion Week continues…….

Here are some looks from the Charlotte Ronson Spring/Summer 2013 collection. She used prints and leather beautifully while leaving no shortage of color pale yellows, blues and pinks. I loved all of the wedges and the use of oversized handbags was a fun, yet funky addition as well.

 

Let’s start with my FAVORITES… I couldn’t choose one.  I have 3!

I loved this peplum lace dress with black stripe detail.

This cutout color block dress had amazing movement on the runway.

 

This sky and water print peplum is to die for, so pretty.

New York Fashion Week is here!!!!!!! (Jason Wu Collection)

7 Sep

Hot off the tails of Fashion’s Night out…..New york Fashion Week is in full swing.  New york will host eight glorious days of fashion, before the fashion crowds head to London, Milan and Paris.

Jason Wu  presented  his Spring/Summer 2013 collection Friday.  Celebrating the woman’s silhouette, this collection had modern sex appeal, and a perfectly balanced contrast of hard & soft elements represented mostly with leather and lace although tulle and other sheer materials were present as well.  Most of the collection was black and white with some pops of navy and red.  I usually like a lot more color for S/S but this collection worked for me and I wouldn’t change a thing. Hair and makeup was perfect,  I was fond of the ruby-red lips and sleek side swept hair, which was beautifully done without being distracting. My absolute favorite moment was when legendary model Carolyn Murphy opened the show in her beautiful leather sheath dress. Amazing!

As for the collection, Wu said he was inspired by two photographers with differing styles — Helmut Newton’s erotically charged imagery and Lillian Bassman’s soft dream-like imagery. “It’s two completely different styles. One’s quite beautiful, couture and the other is quite provocative and sexy and I love the idea of those two coming together a softness and a hardness coming together and I wanted to make a collection that sort of balanced, just teetered on that line of sexy but still sophisticated,” he said.

My favorite look!

Fashion’s Night Out Was A Hit!

7 Sep

The global fashion party known as fashion’s night out celebrated its fourth year last night. From Los Angeles to New york to Milan fashionistas, retailers and designers came together for the festivities.  Besides shopping and socializing, crowds were treated to fashion shows, performances and parades.  I celebrated in Los Angeles at the Beverly Center and the “lil Melrose” area of West Hollywood and had an absolute blast! Here are some pictures from the night.

 

 

 

Let’s just start by saying my feet were killing me by the end of the night but it was so worth it.  I also keep getting questions about the dress. I was obsessed with this dress when I saw SJP wearing it on the Elle Jan 2011 coverapparently I wasn’t the only one interested as the dress sold out FAST!  I told my favorite Saks girl to keep an eye out for me and sure enough a dress in my size was found about 6 months later!!!!!!!!!  So that’s the story of the dress….

 

Outfit details:

I had to embrace this white paper wristband, it was my ticket into the nights events, even though it completely clashed with my ensemble.

Draped silk dress, Halston Heritage. Skull box clutch, Alexander McQueen. Patent leather platform pumps, Christian Louboutin. Earrings, Le fashion truck. Bamboo bangles, Gucci. Black faceted jewel cutout cuff, Gojane.

 

Fashion’s Night Out around the globe

 

Until next year………..
