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!!!!!!!!

NYFW Diane Von Furstenburg S/S 2013

10 Sep

Dian Von Furstenburg Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

The CFDA president’s collection did not disappoint. Her flowy fabrics seemed to float down the runway. With a vibrant palette including coral, lime, teal and violet, the overall feel was glamour meets gypsy. Furstenburg’s prints were quite beautiful as were the metallic touches.

NYFW Alexander Wang S/S 2013

9 Sep

Alexander Wang Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

This collection brought to mind urban street style meets uniformity.  The palette was neutral.  I would have liked to see a touch more color for Spring but Wang is known for his edgy aesthetic and futuristic minimalism, so such simplicity is to be expected. T-shirts and dresses with boxy silhouettes dominated while there was plenty of slashed up leather which Wang called “leather blocking”.  There were also more knee-high sandals which will be a big trend for Fall.

NYFW Prabal Gurung S/S 2013

9 Sep

Prabal Gurung Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

This collection was full of silks, feathers, fitted jackets and embroidered pieces.  The palette was black, white and grey with shades of red here and there. The show took place in a steamy warehouse on Pier 59, it was like a futuristic fairytale of sorts.

Let’s start with my favorite dress!

NYFW Altuzarra S/S 2013

9 Sep

Joseph Altuzarra’s Spring/Summer 2013 Collection, Altuzarra, explored casual blue cotton, tassels and prints. As usual there were plenty of perfectly constructed jackets, something Joseph has become known for. I loved the sleek hair and knee-high gladiator sandals as well.

Monique Lhuillier’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

Known for her usual white and ivory wedding gowns, Lhuillier made great use of teals, blues and fuchsias, in what seemed to be an ocean inspired collection. With only a few separates,her main focus was dresses, very beautiful dresses!

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!

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.

Some looks from Rebecca Minkoff’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection.  Minkoff played well with prints and slightly distressed denim, she included her super cute handbags as well.

I especially loved this tied top with denim shorts.

The Year Round Blazer: White

13 Aug

Looking for a trans-seasonal blazer that will complete any look?  Look no further, a crisp white blazer will be there for you when you’re in fashion need and  can be dressed up or down.  White blazers are just as much a wardrobe essential as are black blazers and can be worn over dresses, with shorts, with jeans(wide leg or skinny) or anything really.  With Fall just around the corner, there is no need to put away your white blazer, this is a great piece that carries over into Winter and beyond.  I know we’ve all heard the saying…. but, no white after Labor day is an outdated fashion rule that’s not only been broken on countless runways in the last decade, but has practically been re written; hello! Winter white. It is A-okay to wear white after labor day!!!!!! 

Below are some great ways to rock a white blazer anytime of the year.

Some blazers for you to shop.

1. Linen blazer($88) 2. Cropped blazer($59) 3. Knit blazer,petite($59) 4. Patterson J. Kincaid blazer($198) 5. Blazer,plus($54.90) available at Nordstrom.

6. BarIII Sheer blazer($54.99) available at Macy’s.
