NYFW J. Crew F/W 2013

12 Feb

J. Crew’s classic aesthetic was front and center today at the J.Crew Fall/Winter 2013 presentation!  Color and texture was also prevalent- from tweed to wool to cableknit to silk, the mixing of textures, colors and prints was perfectly executed no surprise. The well tailored separates were ga ga-gorgeous as well as the Moroccan prints and pretty splashes of sparkle too. I loved this wearable collection!  I fell in love with a jeweled lapel coat on site…..I am literally in love with it!!!!!!! In need it… in addition to all of the bags and footwear!

NYFW Monique Lhuillier F/W 2013

10 Feb

Monique Lhuillier’s gorgeous Fall/Winter 2013 collection consisted mostly of her usual red carpet ready gowns in addition to some shorter tea length gowns and even included trousers!  The palette was mostly malachite green, winter white and black & gold baroque style pieces.  The entire collection was decadently detailed and beautifully tailored to the woman’s form.  Beautiful!

NYFW Prabal Gurung F/W 2013!

9 Feb

Prabal Gurung is a busy man as of late, his (love) Target collection launches in stores and online tomorrow and he presented his F/W 2013 collection in New York today.  The militant aesthetic consisted of strong, polished looks.  Leather belts and harnesses were everywhere and peplum was prevalent, proving indeed it is here to stay. The palette of rich navy blues, army greens and crimson were just beautiful. The gold hardware was impeccable and was carried from the clothes to the shoes – all custom-made by  Cesare Casadei!  WOW! Great strong empowering collection today, and I’m very excited to shop the frilly feminine collection tomorrow at Target!

NYFW Jason Wu F/W 2013

8 Feb

Not even a blizzard could stop Jason Wu  from filling up a beautiful Park Avenue venue to present his Fall 2013 collection Friday. Despite weather worries, a full house of spectators gazed in awe at one of the most anticipated collections of New York fashion week.  There was an essence of elegance and glamour and the clothes were sexy and sophisticated.  The mostly black a white palette included crisp collars, belted waists and pleated skirts !  I especially loved the makeup led by Lancome’s Diane Kendal, who created beautiful looks consisting of  bold indigo cat eyes with muted lips and cheeks.  This show was pretty amazing, nothing new for Mr. Wu!

Beyonce’s Super Bowl Outfit!

4 Feb

Beyonce’s gorgeous Super bowl costume took a team of 14 people over 200 hours to create!  Designer to the stars Rubin Singer spoke about the detail that went into the ensembles “My seamstresses were assembling all of the leather and exotic skins individually by hand. All of the pieces were separate details that were all constructed on her body.”

Cambridge Handbag Collaboration Out This Month!!!

2 Feb

The Cambridge Satchel Company has been in the works with American designer Chris Benz on the fun and colorful Spring 2013 (Virginia) collection.  The bags are the classic Cambridge designs that we’ve come to expect and love but have a few new fun twists.  The bags are available in 9 colors and all have a signature white front pocket and  the bag is a smaller more compact shape with a single top handle and comes with a longer removable strap as well.  While the buckles look exactly the same, they  have magnetic closures which is awesome, making it way easier to get in and out of your bag. This collection will be available later this month at Bloomingdales $295.
