New York Fashion Week Spring 2012 (cont.)


 What can be said that hasn't already been said about Hervé Léger dresses....the FIT IS TO DIE FOR!!!  Max and Lubov Azria designs impress me season after season. For Spring 2012, the line showcased a warrior/tribal princess vibe utilizing metallics mixed with white, black, taupe, and burgundy. If you haven't had the chance to try one on...I strongly suggest you do. These dresses are SPANX on steroids. 

Jill Stuart's Spring 2012 collection was completely wearable.  I loved the entire line...while I'm no fan of pink (not a girlie girl) even I would wear those pieces.  The color palette including fabrics used was pleasing to the eye.  Two thumbs up....quite lovely.

New York Fashion Week Spring 2012

BCBG Max Azria Spring 2012 was beautiful with its free flowing silhouettes.  The collection had a tribal, color-blocked, athletic vibe to it.  Simple dressing...just throw it on and go. Loved!

Jason Wu Jason Wu!  I dream of owning a garment from his line.  The Spring 2012 collection was sophisticated, elegant w/a slight edge compared to past seasons.  I really liked the short/long hemlines shown....no doubt a trend for next Spring.  The color palette ranged from black, blue, pink, white, grey to yellow.  Seriously need to win the lottery.


Prabal Gurung Spring 2011 was sexy and provocative.  It was edgy yet feminine.  His inspiration came from photographer Nobuyoshi Araki of  erotic images of women bound in rope. Need I say more? A great collection. 

DKNY Donna Karan knows how to dress us city girls.  Her Spring 2012 collection was no exception.  Loved the free flowing loose shapes and colors/patterns used.  It reminded me of style icon Jane Berkin with the 70's retro vibe.  I could see myself wearing everything in the collection.  Well done... Ms. Karan! 

Preen is a London-based label... a favorite among many including myself.  They didn't disappoint with their Spring 2012 collection which is crave worthy.  The colors and patterns used by designers Thea Bregazzi and Justin Thornton evoked thoughts/feelings of Spring even though we're headed into Fall.  All pieces shown are wearable and simply gorgeous.  I loved it!

More reviews/videos to come....I'm just getting started.

Hats, Scarves, Jewelry from H&M


Over the past few weeks, I've collected a few bits and bobs from H&M.  I can't wait to start sporting the scarves and hats once the weather begins to cool here in New York.  Looks like I'll get the chance by the end of this week.  YAY!!! Lately, I've become obsessed with choker style necklaces and cuffs...they look perfect worn casual or dressed up.

Love these simple/classic pieces from Celine. Zara has a similar style of pumps for $99....currently in stores and online.  Yes, the United States can now shop Zara's online. Uh! that could be a problem.

Pheeww! My first official post can't wait to share more with you...stay tuned.

Burberry Prorsum is one of my favorite London designers.  Here are few items that caught my eye from the Fall 2011 collection.  I am absolutely craving the purple coat and burgundy clutch. I wish I could afford them!  Thank goodness there are lots of alternatives available at different price points. My favorite store at the moment is H&M. They have increased their quality of merchandise this season.  Will share with you in later post my recent purchases, picks, and styling.  So, don't go away. ;D
