DANA-MAXX SS2013 Showroom

tis' showroom and press preview season! i first learned of Dana-Maxx through Linkedin connections. (remember me telling you the importance and power of Linkedin here). we finally met on my trip to Caravan Studios a few months back where she had a few fabulous DANA-MAXX pieces to preview. I was lucky enough to score an invite to their recent press preview for their Spring/Summer 2013 collections at their showroom. Definitely a cozy room of florals, pastels and intricate crochet that i died and came back to life for in hope to one day wear.

This crochet bralet top and matching skirt was definitely my favorite of the collection. i even love the little suspender to connect the top to the skirt...PURE GENIUS.

These floral shorts were another favorite of mine. Dana below looking as fabulous as ever!

Overall i really enjoyed the collections. it makes me long for Spring. Make sure to check out

DANA-MAXX.

 

What do you think of the collection?

Boy Meets Girl SS2013 Fashion Show

 

Last night I attended the Boy Meets Girl Fashion Show. It is always one of my favorite shows because it was soooo much fun and interactive! I got to meet Wyclef and Rosario Dawson but I was happy to finally have time to chat with designer Stacy Igel (we've been tweeting and instagraming each other for awhile). for this show i went with my favorite fun dress by Alice + Olivia.

 

 

 

 

Dress: Alice + Olivia | Shoes: Zara | Bag: Zara

 the show was soooooo much fun. i think of Boy Meets Girl as the basics in life. everyone needs a good hoodie and cool printed tee as a staple in a wardrobe. the performance by Wyclef and Cris Cab was awesome. i had by far the best time at the Boy Meets Girl fashion show!

NYFW Spring 2013 Day 5

 

Today's outfit was basically my fashion power suit: pencil skirt, blazer, heels. but this aint your average suit so I threw in some floral prints and fur for good measure.

 

 

 

 

Skirt: Patrizia Pepe via Loehmanns | Top: H&M | Blazer: Workshop Andrea Jovine

Shoes: Gianvito Rossi | Bag: Zara

wow today was insanely busy. my feet are KILLING ME and they are swollen on the bottom. i love love love fashion week but it is brutal. i was literally running from show to show being that I had one just about every hour. i am super amped that i was snapped by Guerre for Marie Claire online. Guerre is one of my favorite photogs and he is SEXY! my god thats a handsome well dressed man. but i digress. lets get to the goods. Shout out to Jen of Comme Coco for these amaze photos.

Today's Schedule

Joy Cioci

Carlos Miele

Farah Angsana

Karen Walker
Alice & Olivia

Libertine

Joy Cioci was one of my favorite collections. I love the whole beachy vibe, sounds of the ocean, prints and d styling of the models...down to the awesome extra sharp finger nails. The head wraps are pretty hawt too. Check out the VIDEO of the full collection HERE.


Carlos Miele did was he does best and thats creative free flowing gorgeous dresses. He used a  lot of cheetah print on bright pops of color as well as fringe. My favorite dress was actually a white sparkly number with fringe around the bottom!


Farah Angsana....dresses are her thing. There is definitely something for everyone in her collection. My favorites were the beaded dresses in orange, black and green. I see a lot of designers are going orange for the SS2013 season.




Karen Walker went polka dots, with lovely skirts and bangy hair and hats. I loved all of the looks even the polka dots! The collection was fun yet sophisticated. I loved the trapeze shaped tops and the neon pink slear sunnies too. Hands down one of my favorite shows.



I am a huge fan of Alice + Olivia so getting to attend this presentation was awesome. i loved the prints and shapes and the retro feel the collection gives off. very old school glam with headbands and gloves. Check out the full video of the presentation HERE.


Libertine was a fun festive collection. It's all looked pretty mixed vintage to me as far as the womens clothing went. I do like some elements and could certainly see some people wearing the pieces together like they were styled. personally I think they'd be more of a wow factor split up with simplier pieces so that they pop.
