{NYFW} more looks & pics i loved...

Sigh, New York Fashion Week is over. Soon my Twitter feed will slow to something less than 45 tweets every 10 minutes, and I wont feel like such the ragingly jealous status-stalker of people like @Bergdorfs, @theglamourai, @mrjoezee, @harpersbazaarUS, @voguemagazine, @wmag ... You get the idea. However I still feel buried deep in the frenzy, metaphorically jumping up and down on my tip toes trying to get a peek at the action. I have many, many more posts planned, but I think I need to take the weekend to gather my thoughts.

In the meantime though, lets have a look at more of my favorite looks and images from this weeks shows...

Tibi

There were tons of hot pink accents @ TIbi, but my favorite looks is this soft dress and shearling-lined coat.

the sartorialist

Simply gorgeous street shot from The Sartorialist.

Erin Erin

I absolutely die for the Erin by Erin Featherston skirt at left. It's so my style (high waisted, short, textured, gives the illusion of hips) it's not even funny. And at right, the combination of soft neutral tones in layers of structured and flowing shapes is also rather perfect.

Alice & Olivia

I mean, shut the front door. I couldn't be more in love with this Alice & Olivia dress. With the red lips? C'mon now.

Mr. Newton

Ahhh, my favsies Joanna Hillman, shot by Mr. Newton at Lincoln Center.

Rodarte

Gorgeous ethereal prairie gowns @ Rodarte.

Tommy Ton for style.com

Be still my heart, Tommy Ton's shots for style.com are always eh-hem, ladyboner-inducing.

Tommy Ton for style.com

Anna Dello Russo x Tommy Ton. She always brings the heat.

The Blonds

I mean come on? The blonds is pure camp & just the right amount of sparkle.

Olivia Palermo

Olivia Palermo hits a pitch-perfect mix of winter warmth and spring color.

{NYFW} my highlights from Gant by Michael Bastian...

Gant by Michael Bastian Gant by Michael Bastian

I like Bastian's interpretation of fall layering in these looks. In reality I find that its insanely difficult to comfortably layer three tops and not look like a trendy marshmallow, but this certainly makes me want to try. I am usually not a fan of cropped jackets, but the proportions here with the pushed up sleeves and texture mixing really appeal to me. Don't call it a comeback, but the sock is really having a moment - peeking out from cropped pants and peep-toe shoes on just about every runway this season.

What? I would rock that red tuxedo jacket so hard. Tux jackets were shown in a lot of the women's shows too (Yigal Azourel, Jason Wu) but I love the poppy red of this men's version. I've never been the world's biggest fan of camouflage as a print (blame it on Abercrombie and Fitch circa 2003) but I like how much it's softened here by the pink and white stripes and dove grey cardigan. Also, give me those t-strap shoes.

from The Cut: Jason Wu runway video...

 

Hello! I must apologize for my lack of posts since Wednesday. Thursday was a crazy day at my internship, and I was floored and taken out of commission by a stomach bug circa 4 a.m. Friday morning. Here we are at 4 p.m. on Saturday and I'm just now starting to feel like myself again.

To ease back into trying to keep up with all the craziness of New York Fashion Week, I turned to The Cut to fill me in on the shows I'd missed so far. One of my pernnial favorites, Jason Wu, turned out a pretty spectacular collection, one he describes as "baroque sportswear."

A crazy concept that somehow works brilliantly. Enjoy and happy weekend!
