My Favorite Fringe Bag Just Got Better………

15 Sep

Back in April I wrote a post about my new favorite faux leather fringe bag that I scored for $24.99 from Target.  I still wear it and love it, it’s a creamy color that matches everything and I can beat it up without worrying.   The good news is they still have it at target and they have added a new color, beige. In addition to this beige color they have added a new fringe bag in a beautiful blue suede like material for $29.99.  Perfect bag meets a perfect price!!!!!!

NYFW Rachel Zoe S/S 2013

Rachel Zoe Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

Inspired by the 70’s and Jane Birkin’s androgynous aesthetic, this collection was the epitome of sexy cool.  Effortless glam came to mind over and over.  The palette included beautiful teals, mints as well as neutrals and black & white combos.  The accessories were pretty amazing as well…… I loved the bags, hats and necklaces, very reminiscent of the Halston era, which I love!

Tory Burch Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

This collection definitely spoke to my inner traveler, I wanted to book a Palm springs weekend getaway as soon as I saw it!!!  Pretty preppy meets boho chic, there were plenty of eccentric eye-catching prints along with matching bags. Very cute, colorful and casual collection.

 

 

 

Baroque Trend! Do You Dare?

11 Sep

Ok ok I’m breaking from my Spring/Summer 2013 NYFW coverage to talk about this trend that is HOT right now for Fall!  The question is…..will you wear it?  I may try it but I’m a bit scared. The baroque style brings so many things to mind……17th century, opulence, luxury, royalty, gold, DRAMA!  With plenty of elaborate details and wild ornamentation this trend can seem difficult to pull off, I think the right person CAN though. Like any fashion lover I would DIE for a Balmain jacket, but that may be the only baroque piece I would wear or is it?????  Hmmmmmm, While I’m not completely closed off to the notion, I’d just have to find the right piece, something that speaks to my heart. A jacket or a clutch???? Maybe a T? or Jeans?

Some inspiration……

All baroque doesn’t have to be gold, these jeans are very wearable.

NYFW Carolina Herrera S/S 2013

Carolina Herrera Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

What a pleasant surprise!!!! I must admit I’ve come to expect the same beautiful collections from Carolina Herrera, she has a very easy to identify aesthetic, almost predictable.  This collection, however was not the norm for her.  Was it beautiful as usual? yes!  Was it the same as usual?……not at all!  For a change, this collection included so many fresh and modern pieces in addition to her usual gowns.  The lines were clean, most looks were belted at the waist and there was plenty of color and geometric prints. The embellished collars were pretty amazing too. I am totally impressed…..I know designers can venture out of their fashion box only to find disastrous results, not this time…… well done!

Vera Wang Ready to wear Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

With an “out of india” theme, this collection was a hit!  There was a beautiful palette of colors including rich greens, purples and gold. Shapes ranged from structured to fluid and much attention was paid to detail( no shocker, Vera is a perfectionist).  I also loved all the use of chantilly hand pieced lace, so pretty.

NYFW Marc Jacobs S/S 2013

11 Sep

Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2013 collection. I think Jacob’s channelled his inner Tim Burton for this collection.  There was no shortage of boldly patterned pieces with stripes being the main course!!  Every take on a stripe was included, vertical, horizontal, thin, wide etc.  Boxy shapes dominated the modern, yet very 60’s inspired collection.

NYFW Victoria Beckham S/S 2013

10 Sep

Victoria Beckham Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

This former spice girl who was laughed at when she first announced her love for design is a now a force to be reckoned with.  Her only four year old label is fast becoming the show to watch at fashion week.  Beckham’s palette included black, white, beige and punches of a bright orangey/tomato red hue. She remained true to her clean yet sexy aesthetic with her lady like pieces and trademark body-con dresses. This is the best work I’ve seen from Beckham, very nice!

P.S. More knee high sandals!!!!!!!!
