NYFW Day 1: Nicholas K, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Tadashi Shoji & Concept Korea

 

so today was the official first day of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week here in New York...or as we like to call it New York Fashion Week. i covered the Red Dress Collection Fashion Show last night which was just amazing! Stay tuned for that post tomorrow! after covering the show my photog and my blogger bud Jen of Comme Coco and I went for dinner to Cafeteria. I soley blame us going there on my sheer hunger and a photo I happened to see on instagram of a macaroni and grilled cheese sandwich O_o. Cafeteria has the best Mac & Cheese spring rolls with gouda dipping sauce! But I digress. I was tired as all hell last night and when I woke up this morning at 7:45am I almost peed my pants. For 2 reasons...1) Its NYFW HOOOOORAY 2). My first show was at 9am. So I hauled ass and put this outfit together.

Sweater: Aiko | Skirt: Necessary Objects | Jacket: H&M | Bag: Marc Jacobs | Boots: DKNY

Necklace: Thrifted

 

NICHOLAS K.

 Check out the video HERE

Think post apocalyptic or something 10 years after I am Legend. It was very futuristic with a lot of layers. I actually really liked the huge crystal necklace...don't ask me why though. There were tons of earth tones, greens, greys and browns.

 

BCBGMAXAZRIA

 

From what I could view from the nose bleed section, it was a little out of the norm for BCBGMAXAZRIA. There was lots of layering and gorge furs too. The best part of this show was when I got to meet one of my favorite bloggers Aimee from Song of Style. She was super nice and the girl is stunning. I also bumped into Chiara of The Blonde Salad several times and she is also very sweet. She was shooting some kind of video outside Lincoln Center.

 

TADASHI SHOJI

The show started a little slow but it evolved quickly. I loved the dropped waist dresses, the gorgeous lace, the red velvet...it was perfect. Tadashi never disappoints for special occasion dresses. I especially loved the feathered pieces.

 

CONCEPT KOREA

Check out the video HERE

The show was a mix of designers: Choi Boko, Cres E. Dim, KYE, Lie Sang Bong and Son Jung Wan.

I have to say I loved this show...mostly because it was different and exciting. I liked seeing the contrast of all the Korean designers and their aesthetics.

Tribal Midi Skirt with a Neon Pop

The weather last week was effing amazing.

I went ahead and unpacked all and I mean all my Spring skirts.

This is one of my thrifty finds, a fashion STEELE at $5.

I love the tribal print too.



Top: Old Navy see it HERE | Skirt: Goodwill | Jacket: BCBGMaxazria via Nordstroms Rack

Soes: Charles Jourdan via Loehmanns | Earrings: Random Street Vendor

I"m happy we atleast got one good week of amazing weather. Even though I've lived in New York City

for 5 years I'm still not accustomed to winters. Although this Winter has been pretty much

non-existent..I'm not complaining!

Mostly I'm just counting down the weeks until my vacation.

I'm also building my home office/second closet and can't wait to see how it turns out.

Spring Cleaning is upon us so make sure to check out MY CLOSET for added inventory daily!

Fashion Week Day 1

Whoa...yesterday was amazing! Walking into Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.....I was speechless which rarely happens. I felt right at home amongst the shiny people, I mean shiny cars lol. These shows are actually the first I've ever attended in Lincoln Center and its trully something I wanted to savor and never forget.
Check out an overall video of my experience during Day 1 of Fashion Week HERE!

Porter Grey
Loved the simplicity of the collection. Very clean cut lines, flowing fabrics and muted and pastel colors. Love the flat oxfords all the models were wearing as well. To see a quick video of the show check out my NYFW Coverage Link.

These large floral print shorts were an absolute favorite of mine. They can be worn throughout the season.

Overall the collection was really cohesive and lovely. Perfect for the modern girl who is not too fussy when it comes to clothing. Effortlessly chic with a parison twist.

BCBGMAXAZRIA

Max went another direction with lots of BRIGHT POPs of color and ethnic prints. I love the unique cutouts of every piece as well. This show was phenomenal. I definitely have to cop a few of these amazing ethinic print tops for Spring. Check out a quick video of the show in my NYFW Coverage section.

So stoked I had the chance to meet so many amazing people especially Isaiah Garza of Fashion Munster who is super nice. We've been twitter friends forever so it was nice to finally meet.
To see more of my outfit check out my feature on Fashion Bomb Daily!

FNO
I'm pretty excited because I was asked to be one of the many co-host of Caravan and Magnum Ice Cream Fashion Night Out Party!

 I started the night in Soho and checked out Top Shop, Sephora, and Mango! There was all kinds of madness outside the Kardashian's clothing store DASH. Check out my NYFW Coverage Link for a quick video of the FNO madness in Soho.
I ended the night co-hosting at Sky Room with Caravan and Magnum Ice Cream for their FNO party.

My Outfit For the Night...I actually ended up changing shoes.

Overall it was quite a day! I'm still pretty exhausted but I am LOVING everything thing about my first NYFW experience. I'm actually blogging right now from the tents! No time to go home today because I have a whole roster of shows. Dont't forget to check out my YouTube Channel for short videos of all the NYFW happeninings!
