Todays Schedule

Tadashi Shoji

ARISE Magazine African Icons Presentation

The Tadashi Shoji runway setup was soooo whimsical and amazing. I guess it was a little hint to because he when with a lot of lace and blues this season. I am a huge fan of lace! The dresses were either fitted to the tee or free flowing fabrics that accentuate all the right places.
Tadashi sure can make the hell out of a dress.

HELLO.....i almost died when i saw the last stunning white dress with side cutouts. it is freaking fabulous. i don't know where I would wear such a dress but i am determined to have this...one day...after saving a lot. lol. needless to say Tadashi Shoji kicked ass.
 I wonder if his home is filled with beautiful fabrics that he sleeps in.....

Maki Oh
All of the Arise Magazine African Icons Collections were great but my favorite was definitely
Maki Oh. I loved the shape of the skirts and the use of fringe and velvet. For video and info on the other designers who showed at ARISE check out my NYFW link.

fashion can't come fast enough

thats what she said...ha..just kidding. I am all kinds of stoked for Fashion Night Out on Sept 8th and fashion week in general. I will actually be attending and covering a few shows...(i die).

I mean little ole' me from North Carolina will be going to my first fashion show at Lincoln Center..and I was actually invited. HA.

Excuse me while I freak the F*** Out for a moment.

(insert happy dance around my room jumping on my bed and jumping off and nearly breaking my ankle here)

My schedule for fashion week is PACKED and so naturally I went on a shopping spree to compile the perfect ensembles for the biggest and baddest week of the year.

I never thought in my wildest dreams that I'd be invited to a show. Heck I never expected for people to even read my blog but I now see the power of the bloggers and people like you and me who actually buy these clothes.

 I've been gathering inspiration fom some of my favorite mags.

Need bright red "look at me NOW" pants immediately.

hmmm may cave like every blogger in the universe and get this neon beauty...not until dead winter though so it can shock the color out of peoples eyes.

Check that $45 dress to the far right...i need it in my life....would go perrrrrfect with My Babies.

I've been thinking about crisp black and whites for Fall sophistication. Saw this spread in Glamour a day after I got this amazeballs BCBGeneration Jacket...I must be on to something.

This will be making an appearance at Fashion Week..perhaps over a lovely flapper dress???

Is it weird that I've already started planning outfits in my head for February Fashion Week?

I.AM.INSANE.

O_o

Check out my outfit for FNO last year here.
