NYFW Fall 2013: All The Good Stuff

I have been following my favorite style mavens (Mira, Lily, LSD, Vivi) on Instagram, it kind of makes me feel like I am at fashion week. With them. Sitting front row. Gabbing about the tweeds at Proenza or the vibrant colors at DVF. This helps me feel like I could be there, even though I am far, far away. In leggings. Hair barely brushed. On my couch. Clicking through each look on style.com. Maybe one day. Until then, I enjoy seeing what is ahead for Fall and picking out dresses that could make an appearance at the Oscars. I actually got through almost all the shows and picked my favorites and the looks that I would love in my closet. Still dreaming, right? Here is a review of what you missed. 

Sick coats at Altruzara. 

Tweeds, chain link, and the best shoes were at Proenza Schouler. 

Carolina Herrera channeled Marlene Dietrich. Gorgeous. 

I wish I had a place to wear cable knit and silk. Both of the gowns are Oscar contenders. 

Diane was the only one who used tons of color. That jumpsuit is kind of awesome. The silk pantsuit is so Binca Jagger, and I want it. 

Pretty, yet fierce at Derek Lam. 

Any of these gowns would look gorgeous at the Oscars. 

If I had a fur coat, I would want it to be this massive one from Jason Wu. That dress would look so pretty underneath. 

We know how the ladies love Marchesa for the red carpet. I worship the white one, but not sure it is dressy enough. 

The emerald print is beyond. 

A collection where every piece could fit into your life. And if only it was. 

The orange print at ODLR has been haunting me, I LOVE it. Someone will be wearing this pink brocade next Sunday. 

Cables and maxis. Into it. Ralph honestly could get me to wear one of those hats I think, too. 

Two more options from Zac. The pink is almost too sweet, so someone like Amy Adams has to be wearing it. Love the pleats with the satin structure. 

70s Collegiate Socialites at Rachel Zoe. I want that green coat, like mad. 

Love the military green. The jacket is sweet and the silk dress is pretty and femme, but just enough. 

And finally, there was Marc. The show was dramatic and gorgeous. Pjs, sequins, fur, and shags. My favorite of all. 

What shows were your favorite? 

Happy Weekend.

NYFW & Weekend Wishes

This week has been filled with a lot of online time scoping out fashion week. From the collections to the street style, it is almost overwhelming trying to look at everything. The ultimate time suck, but an amazing one at that. 

If I had to pick a couple collections that I can actually see myself shopping the most looks from, it would be 10 Crosby Derek Lam and Rachel Zoe. Not only are these more in the realm of my wallet than most collections, I also just genuinely loved all the looks. 

The fur coat, layered with the leather coat (love the color), on top of the leather skirt and printed blouse that hangs underneath is overkill, but so great. 

I have always loved shirts hanging underneath skirts, which is weird. But I do and the addition of this peplum sweater is adorable. 

I want every piece of the last look. Especially the vest and belt. 

Rachel obviously is going to give us some retro 70s fun along with some glamour. 

The nod to Julie Christie in the first look is fun and I love the muted colors. 

This cape is that perfect purchase to help you get over the weather being cold again. 

I love the printed dress, especially the cut and slit going on. 

Bright velvet plaid is now on my "need to try" list.  

Not sure what is going on with the head muff, but I love this white dress with the draping and center slit. 

It is fun to channel Rachel a bit and look around for dresses that you think will land on the red carpet at the Oscars. These should at least be options for some of Hollywood's ladies. 

If I was going, it would be between the Rodarte and the J. Mendel. Loving all the gold. 

My wish this weekend is to find some of these in my closet come Fall (slim chance). 

The DVF dress is so vampy with the neckline and the sleeves. For something serious, though. 

Buffalo check at Michael Kors had me at hello.  

Nothing like an all white outfit (never happening) to love. The coat and skirt are amazing from J. Mendel. Charlotte Ronson wore the cutest sweater for her bow, which was also on the runway. 

 There is something about this BCBG dress I love. 

Here's to more shows to come and fun fantasy shopping to do!

Weekend Wish

Another week full of NYFW fun. But of all the pictures I have seen, this is my favorite. 

People.com

I just love thinking about what kind of conversations took place between Anna and Nicki Minaj. It will keep me giggling all weekend. 


Here is to a great weekend and I wish for all of you to have a Nicki-Anna moment at some point. You never know what kind of friend/fashion tip/recipe/story/idea may come out of it.
