New York Fashion Week Recap: Marchesa

Happy Friday! Here to write about one final SS 2012 collection - Marchesa. I remember going wedding dress shopping with my best friend last year…I walked in to the boutique and she was wearing a stunning gown. “That must be Marchesa,” I said immediately. It was. Marchesa’s designs are legendary. They are literally wearable art. The styles, the feathers, the beads, the layers---all of it is breathtaking. It easily creates the romantic feminine look for any lady. I love the dresses. Here are a few of my favorites from this year’s runway collection which premiered at New York Fashion Week. **swooning**

{We're Obsessed!} Contrasting Colors

We love when readers share their ideas, obsessions, recipes and tips with us! So today, I'm obsessing with something shared by our friend Cauffiel, who pointed out her love for the stark contrast in colors worn on runways during New York's SS 2012 Fashion Week (as evident in Cristi's Marc by Marc Jacobs post).

On board? No need to wait until spring, one of fall's hottest trends is mixing bold colors in a daring way to create the same look everyone is still talking about from the latest runway collections.

Yves Saint Laurent handbag, $2,295, www.net-a-porter.com

Marc by Marc Jacobs sweater, $298, Nordstrom

New York Fashion Week Recap: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Fashion week may have ended but the count down to spring begins! I’ve been stalking all of the latest collections from New York Fashion Week and I had to share with you another one of my favorite collections (remember our past obsession with his 10th Anniversary collection?). Marc by Marc Jacobs brings back retro look with modern colors and total sophistication. I was drooling over every piece in his collection, but here are a few of my favorites. Marc Jacobs is a genius and I can’t wait to get my hands on a few of these spectacular dresses!

New York Fashion Week Recap: Carolina Herrera

As fashion week wraps, I wanted to report those looks that stood out most to me on the runway. Favorites first.

Anyone who has ever been shopping with me can tell you I am obsessed with Carolina Herrera. Her designs, to me, are the epitome of timeless elegance and femininity. She has always been wonderful at crafting beautiful timeless pieces for the female body. And her collection that premiered at this year’s Spring 2012 New York Fashion Week didn’t disappoint. Here are some of my favorite looks from the collection. Enjoy!
