Rachel zoe’s Fall/Winter collection consisted of her usual 70’s inspired boho chic pieces but this time she added an equestrian twist. The mostly neutral palette included black, grey, navy and brown and the clothes were more tailored than Zoe’s previous collections. I’m never disappointed with Mrs. Zoe’s work!
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!
The jeweled lapel on this coat is EVERYTHING!
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!
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!
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!

Scarves are a cold weather staple! They can be dressed up or down and are not only cozy and functional, but very fashionable too. From sheer to knit to colorful prints, there are so many scarves to choose from. Besides my boots, my scarf collection is my favorite part of my Fall/Winter wardrobe.
