Fashion Week feels like HOME

i just dont undertand how the mavericks of fashion do it....going to 20+ shows during fashion week in sky high heels. I've only been covering for 3 days and although I love it with all my heart...

my feet hate me right now.

i swear my feet said "Oh Hell No...are you really squeezing me into a pointy toed pump?!?"

But I digress...fashion week so far has been dream like. When I am surrounded by so many people who are really passionate about fashion just as I am it makes me feel at home.

Today I went bright in the vintage DVF jumper that I scored on ebay for $25 fashion STEELE!

LINE UP

Lela Rose

Joy Cioci

Today was a quiet show day. Not too many show but I thoroughly enjoyed both shows today.

Lela Rose kicked off with retro upswept hair and delicate statement neclaces with and array of dresses and patterns. My favorites were the form fitting bodice dresses that hit just at the knee and the gorgeous form fitting mermaid type dresses. I loved Lela Rose Spring 2012 collection and this collection was also chic and glamourous.

 Check out this video of the show closing.

Next up was Joy Cioci. I am a huge fan of Joy Cioci and her unique designs. Her aesthetic is youthful and fun and sophisticated all at once. I was greeted with champagne and before I even rounded the corner to view the models..my ears heard one of my FAVORITE songs..

Midnight City M83.

That's when I knew me and Joy Cioci are kindred spirits. But it was kinda freaky when the next song was A Real Hero from Drive Soundtrack and I have these 2 songs in the exact order on my ipod.

But lets get to the clothes! Joy brought it last season and again this season with sharp nails, lacy socks and amazing furs and leathers.

Here are a few favorites. Check out my NYFW link to see a video of the show!

Love the sideswept braid and the pop of color on this blouse.

It's all in the details....the sharp nails, the just off the knuckle gloves and the large lacey sheer socks!

I LOVE IT!

 Joy Cioci really wowed me with her collection and her choice of music!

What do you think of these collections?
