Fave Looks: COREY Fall 13

8.30.2013

 COREY by Corey Lynn Calter presented her Fall 13 Collection at the Jane Hotel, one of my fave night places.  So it just made perfect sense that the ladies were dressed to impress for a night of champagne and mischief.  Bold florals are not your usual fall print but Corey fitted them into the collection flawlessly. Paired up with sixties shape fur coats, leopard print, lace and foulard pant suit that I am obsessed with.  So yes, let’s bring it on Fall! 

FAVE LOOKS: CHARLOTTE RONSON FALL 13

8.20.2013

As Fall is upon us I can’t help but crave a color palette full of cranberries + hunter greens + deep blues. Charlotte Ronson Fall 2013 collection definitely fills this yearning.  Ronson went back to her English roots of 1960’s London using mod-era styles. Tweeds and plaids mixed with fresh digital floral prints and techy meshes. Using a lot of print blocking creating the looks to be up-to-date. I abslolutey adore the  high waisted pant outfit with a heart shaped detail and paired with a mesh top and victorian choker detail at the neck-line.  Foulard printed cropped turtleneck and  A-line skirt to match my heart’s desire. The same print in a dress, again A-line with geometric cut-out armholes and high turtle neck. The beauty statement was nice dewey skin with a Twiggy mod look to the eyes, perfect for the girly girl on the go.  Oh and can we talk about the canteen handbags, yes please! That is definitely on my wish list for Fall!!

Fave Looks: Ivana Helsinki

8.7.2013

Fall is just around the corner.  Taking a look back at some of my fave collections from February’s NYFW.  When the first few looks came out for Ivana Helsinki I had to gasp! I mean bleached denim, yes please!! I was especially obsessed with this look of edwardian sleeves to add to the denim fantastic-ness.  Can I wear this to some fancy Art Opening please? The white tights brought the collection together and looked very fresh. Once it gets cold I am definitely getting some white tights, can’t wait!  And hopefully one of these dresses.  I wasn’t expecting Ivana Helsinki to have this girly vibe, it came as a surprise, but no complaints from me!!

Fave Looks: Karen Walker Fall 2013

4.1.2013

Art Girl meets Working Girl. Totally my cup of tea here for Karen Walker Fall 2013.  Sounds from The Damned and the Souixsie Sioux took over the runway.  Imagine little miss downtown with her headphones off to her 9 to 5 job, so of course her saving grace is the music blasting and the outfit that she put on for the day.  My favorite was this pink all over look, sported with cool girl shades, a fuzzy snow cap, and a no frill pink dress.  I couldn’t help but obsess over the bow suspenders that kept the girls dresses up. That’s right, a working girl’s got to hustle. The collection was filled with lots of a-line dress, I am so into this shape for right now.  Large Hounds tooth plaid and pinky tweeds were the statement fabrics.  Total utility girl-meets-romance, not an easy thing to pull off. But miss Walker makes it work effortlessly!

Fave Looks: Honor Fall 13

3.20.2013

This season’s Honor I couldn’t help but think I want everyone one of these pieces.  I can already picture myself this coming Fall wandering a cocktail party in this little pink number, holding an olive martini with these fancy sheer sleeves. Totally Mary Tyler Moore goes to Hollywood.  And the white tights! I saw a lot of these on the runways for Fall, and to be honest I want to start wearing them right now as we transition into spring.  All the  cut-out heart details were executed very elegantly. Encrusted heart jewels on a very pink cape-let. Fit for a queen, or one who just wants to feel like one for the night. A brilliant fan-fare of pink on pinks in mod silhouettes.  And for the more just slightly girly types there were quite a few black and white numbers. I especially loved this black and white color blocked heart on a woven tee.  And like the song goes, sugar, sugar….you are my candy girl and you got me wanting you.  And well this candy girl is wanting this entire collection, badly!
