nanette lepore

          Last wednesday I got to see the Nanette Lepore show at Lincoln Center. Neon colors flew down the runway captivating the entire audience. Each look was bright and youthful giving way to a fun filled spring. With the combination of live music by Sam Bisbee and beautiful clothing of Nanette Lepore, the atmosphere was one of a youthful brillance. Does this make you want to take on the neon splash?

First look down the runway definitely set the tone for the entire show. Bright florescents all the way.

Citron is usually not my color of choice but somehow on this runway it worked. Otherwise I'm not sure how many people could pull this electric look off on the streets.

The contract of the light blue lace and tangerine dress is what caught my attention. What about yours?

In person this tangerine embroidered top showed movement with it's fringe-like bottom detailing..

Pretty lace, I must in spring.

The cutout on the back of this dress is what made me love it.

Bright spring prints.

This dress was amazing in person, the splash floral print and flow of fabric moved beautifully.

Herve Leger by Max Azria

   Tuesday afternoon I had the pleasure of volunteering for the Herve Leger by Max Azria show. My first Mercedes-Benz fashion week show and it was amazing. Watching the models come out and watching the production of the entire show gave me goosebumps. This season Azria demonstrated a tribal and gladiator type look with tall strapped gladiator boots and gold, silver, black, nude and white. Gold hardware and cutout details gave the dresses an edge. While bandage dresses are not new for the Herve Leger collections, these were still eye captivating and drew the audiences attention. Especially the maxi white dress, the last off the runway and my personal favorite.

Fierce and powerful were words used to describe the collection.

The tribal inspiration lives on through the season.

Nudes have become a spring favorite. It's hard to go wrong.

I love the wide fringe detailing. It creates a playful texture. 

My absolute favorite dress of the show. This looked beautiful going down the runway.

new york mercedes-benz fashion week

      Yesterday was by far one of the happiest days of my life. I got to work and see my first new york mercedes-benz fashion week show. As a volunteer I got to assist with the production of the Herve Leger by Max Azria show. All I can say was it was amazing and one of most incredible experiences that I hope to be able to do over and over again through life. After the show I went to the Teen Vogue Haute Spot where I was able to meet one of my favorite bloggers, Chiara Ferragni of The Blonde Salad. Once again I cannot describe how happy I was. I first discovered Chiara's blog a few year's ago after enjoying her looks on lookbook.nu and have ever since read every post. Her blog inspired me to start mine and I recommend all of you to take a look at it! Today I assisted another show which I will talk about tomorrow(Hint: think neon!). Can you guess which one?

FNO 2011

         As you all may know, Fashion's Night Out was held a couple nights ago on September 8th in NYC. I had the pleasure of experiencing the event for the very first time and am glad to say it was absolutely amazing. The important thing to remember about FNO is how to plan your night. You must prepare yourself beforehand upon what you want to see, who you want to meet and where all the events will be. Although I really wanted to meet Rachel Zoe at bloomingdales, I settles and landed off the subway on bleeker st. where Marc Jacobs Carnival and the Teen Vogue pop-up tent were the main attractions. So much fashion and energy filled the streets and stores. I can't wait for next year already!

    For the night I wanted to wear something fun with a little bit of sofistication. I paired a peony pink skirt, black blazer, marc jacobs zipper necklace and the FNO t-shirt that I purchased that night.
