NYFW Wrap-Up Video Favorite Moments

Fall 2012 NYFW is one I will never forget. It was so awesome to link up with fellow bloggers

and friends I havent seen since last season.

There is something about being at a fashion show.

The bright lights, the loud music, the beautiful models, everyone waiting with

 bated breathe for the next look.

I can't believe I was there. I put together a quick video of some of my favorite moments

during Fall 2012 NYFW so you all can get a feel for how it is inside and outside

Lincoln Center.

Song: Dog Days are Over Florence and the Machine

Hope you all enjoyed the video.

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!

Jumper: Vintage DVF | Cape: Eileen Fisher | Shoes: YSL Opyum

Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Necklace: Aldo get a similar one here

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.

Front Row at Lela Rose

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?

Front Row NYFW

today was the most fun day of NYFW. this morning when I arrived at Lincoln Center...

the courtyard was bare...is was quietly snowing. No paps...No people... No nothing...

 but stillness and the click of my Charles Jourdan Heels on the wet pavement.

Once inside the tents though it was bursting with action, flashes and fashion!

This was definitely a day I will always remember.

I choose to be a little more daring today and rock some vintage too.

Hat: Top Shop | Skirt: Vintage from Curly Top Vintage Shop | Coat: Michael Kors

Shoes: Charles Jourdan get yours HERE | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Socks: American Apparel

The LINE-UP

Porter Grey

Jill Stuart

Son Jung Wan

Christian Siriano

Porter Grey was definitely one of my favorite lines of the Spring 2012 collections. I also really enjoyed the Fall 2012 collection as well especially the printed dresses and of course the brogues!

Check out this quick video of the presentation.

Porter Grey Fall 2012

Jill Stuart was amazing. I must say I've never really been into her..not for any particular reason but now I'm officially obsessed. What caught my eye was the full mini skirts (so vintage with a twist), the patterns, the black sheer and gold accents and the shoes.

 Not to mention this was one of the best styled shows I've seen this NYFW.

Check out the closing video!

Jill Stuart Fall 2012

Son Jung Wan went far and wide. The collection was well rounded with day-to-night wear. I liked the simplicity of it all and how the collection could be worked together. The earth tones and jewel tones also sucked me in along with the warm furs and wools.

The Spring 2012 Collection was also pretty awesome as well.

 Check out this closing video of the show.

Son Jung Wan Fall 2012

Last but certainly not least was Christian Siriano.

I can not even put into words how excited I was to view these 38 astonishing looks from Christian.

I have followed his career and he has blossomed into a designer to be reckoned with.

Front row was Mena Suvari, June Ambrose and Gabourey Sidibe.

 I was smitten with the clothing...and the shoes. I will be working some extra hours to buy me a pair for sure!

Check out this quick video along with some fun flicks...

ps..he does the cutest little dance at the end!

Minkoff and Miller and Katya.... Oh My

So my line up today was Rebecca Mimkoff, followed by Nicole Miller, followed by Katya Leonovich,

followed by Lulu's Blogger Event, followed by Blogger Night Out.

Yes....my feet hurt.

This was my ensemble for the day...a somewhat repeat of an outfit I wore late in the summer.

Top: Forever 21 Jacket: Dallin Chase Skirt: Vintage Jo Collins

Boots: Vera Wang Lavender Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

 

Rebecca Minkoff

Definitely my favorite show of the evening. I love the patterns, the use of different textures, the laser detailing, the shoes...the shoes..the shoes. The pieces where put together amazingly so that everything complimented everything. Here's a quick clip of the show.

I'm dying...literally dying for the very first look. It's giving me everything..color...sass...and a little badass. I would wear every single thing in this collection!

Nicole Miller

Another amazing show by Nicole Miller. I love her use of color. She had awesome velvet pants...and you all know how much I love VELVET. I was also really feeling the ombre dress as well.

The collection defnitely had a boho chic feel. Check out the video below.

Compare to Nicole Millers Spring 2012 Collection photos here and video here.

Katya Leonovich

I was skeptical because last season I just didn't get it...but this season is another story. I really enjoyed this collection. It was more well rounded and the accessories...

well they speak for themselves.

I love when models give good "face"...this model was working it!

p.s.

I need these earrings in my life!

 I had an awesome time spotting all the celebrity sightings as well. I ran in to J. Alexander again who I meet previously here last season, as well as some new faces such as Coco Rocha, Beverly Johnson and Olivia Palermo.

Today was overwhelming exciting. It was also really fun to connect with other bloggers and people I havent seen since NYFW Spring 2012.

What did you think of the collections?

#NYFW...and damnit i have something to wear

It's here ladies and gents..its

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK...also known as #NYFW via twitter!

I am super excited. The shows kick off today! Unfortunately due to my already hectic work schedule I can't attend any shows on Day 1...but look out Friday because I will begin my coverage then.

For PURE NYFW Fall 2012 updates check out my NYFW Fall 2012 Coverage link daily!

Last season I had a blast especially at the Carlos Miele Show and getting to meet Tracee Ellis Ross and even Omarion.

Here's a few photos of outfits I have picked out for NYFW. It took scouring ebay and tons of dress up for me to put these ensembles together too lol.

I'm going super bright...i'm talking neons and yellows and of course some floral prints.
 I scored the vintage yellow DVF jumpsuit on ebay for $24, fashion STEELE and it fits like a dream!

 These are the shoes I will have in heavy rotation during NYFW.

Of course last season I had about 4 foot messages. My feet actually swelled secondary to wearing 4-6 inch pumps for hours on end. It took about a week for the swelling to go down...but it was worth it. This season I've got my trusty on-the-go flats from Duane Reade!

For more fashion week updates click on my NYFW Fall 2012 Coverage link or the logo in the left sidebar and follow me on twitter for tweet photos and info about the shows I attend!

Tomorrow will be a LIVE STREAM HERE of the
 Rebecca Minkoff Fall 2012 Fashion Show that I will be attending.
Tune in 3p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

Wow..I had the time of my life during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.

I must say I really am living a dream right now. It is one thing to watch a show live stream but to be there and feel the vibration of the music and feel the bright lights on your face as you watch it amazing.

thanks everyone for reading and taking this ride with me.

So you know I had to show you all the swag..which was pretty insane.

By the end of the week I just had bags lined up and slewn in my foyer..lol

I have enough stuff to last me until next fashion week in February lol.
