How Do I Love Thee, Let Me Count the Ways...

It would be appropriate for me to go ahead and just post every single piece of clothing from Zac Posen's show, because I absolutely LOVED THEM ALL. I did try to sort through photos choosing my favorites, which was incredibly difficult and I could not limit my selection to just five.

This collection was definitely a departure from what we've seen in the past, but it totally worked in his favor. The colors are great, the prints are fun and overall this collection feels a bit edgier than usual for Zac.

Since I'm still in a dress-loving phase, many of my favorite looks were dresses or top/skirt combos. He did have a great tuxedo-inspired pant outfit that I adored, but sadly did not include in this selection. Ah, so beautiful.

Zac, if you happen to read this, I would be totally okay if you wanted me to wear your designs exclusively. Free advertising, right? I know, I'm so thoughtful, sometimes I just can't help myself...

This weekend, as usual, will probably be short on posts as I am still internetless at my new appart. So kids, have a good weekend and fantastic end to Fashion Week! Maybe I'll catch you at the Bea...?

Fashion Week Top Five: Alexander Wang

Okay, so actually this one is my top six and seriously could have been more because I LOVE ALEXANDER WANG. Dark, edgy, fabulous drapery and blazers. Give them to me please! I'm in love with the first look I chose because as you may know, I love blazers and jackets and I love shades of blue and that pale aqua is a beautiful spring color. The sheer detail (which has been shown a lot on the runways thus far) of the look is fantastic with the detailing that's been added. Tuxedo jacket! Need I say more? The pale purple wrap style dress is amazing and fabulous and I WANT IT NOW! The print and the draping detail of the last two are great as well. Ughh, sample soon please? Thanks.

Fashion Week Top Five: Tuleh

I have to admit, I was a little iffy about Tuleh's Spring '09 collection at first, but after viewing it in its entirety it was clear that each look just kept getting better and better. I'm really loving the mix-matched look of the various prints and patterns of the fabric. The five I chose have varying degrees of edginess and femininity. I'm loving this collection!

What's That You Say?

Ughh, apologies for being SO terribly behind on my posts. However, I do have a good...or at the very least, reasonable, excuse. Since I moved (yay!) into my new apartment on Saturday and do not yet have internet it's been a bit difficult to get online, not to mention the madness of the move alone. I'm hitting up Craigslist constantly to scope out new, cool and best of all, cheap finds. Will hopefully be painting this weekend.

Of course I haven't forgotten about the all important NY FASHION WEEK! Since I've been quite busy I have not had too much time to do much snooping around the tents, but I'll be sure to head over sometime this week to see what I can. In the meantime, I'll try to post reviews/top looks as often as possible.

It's Official...

FASHION WEEK IS FINALLY HERE!!!

Ah, the thrill of it all. Perhaps I shall see if I can get into some parties...OR get into the tents! Ha! Well anyhow, let's start off with my favorite looks from the Trovata show:

The Spring '09 collection consisted of muted tones of mainly white, blue, gray and black. I love the lightness of the first look with a cool woven rope-like belt. Apparently I have a thing for jackets since my next four favorites ALL have one. But I do love blazers and jackety type pieces. So versatile! The second look is fun because it's very tuxedo-like, although it reminds me a bit of SJP's "real people" runway look on SATC with her jeweled panties. Also, skinny belts are so in right now. While I love over-sized blazers right now, I also really love the more cropped version in the third outfit. So great with the dress. The black and white checkered patten is awesome. The little white jacket is fabulous, I love the cut, how it folds in the front and the double-breasted buttons. Finally, the dress is just fun and light and I like it because I'm really into mini dresses too.

Although these are some of my favorites, I had a hard time choosing because I really loved them all. Very wearable, I could actually see myself in all of them! Ughh, I want too many things...

Can't wait for more!
