Cap Toe Shoes Are Here To Stay
9 SepCap 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.

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