NYFW Fall 2012

Its fashion week in New York! They are currently holding tons of fashion shows and previews that are showcasing the trends for Fall 2012 Ready-To-Wear (they always show trends for the next season during the current season). The looks, colors, trends that we are seeing on the runways are early indicators of what we should see in stores once fall lines come out (around about early August). As someone that wishes they could put fashion in a tea cup and drink it every morning, I am absolutely excited about it all. I am on my phone or online constantly checking for photos or videos from the latest shows. Seriously, I’ve looked at photos/videos from over 30 shows in the last few days. You may call that crazy. I call it fun research.

I don’t only look at the pictures or videos just to say that I did. I look at the trends. I take note of the things that I am seeing a lot of and how they differ or look similar to what we are wearing now. I like to know what is “in”. I like to be able to give accurate advice when someone asks me what they should wear to some event or what the latest trends are. I get asked fashion advice a lot and I don’t want to give someone information that will have them stepping out in out-of-date fashion. That would be cruel.

Beyond trend watching, I am looking at these shows because I just love fashion. I get excited when I see an amazing show from one of my favorite designers. Words like ‘love”, “obsessed”, and “die” become huge portions of my everyday vocabulary during this time of year.  My passion for this industry becomes even more evident. I look at some shows over and over because I become so obsessed with the new looks. Basically, I lose my mind and go into a brief state of fashion insanity.

Since today is the last day and in order to save you from becoming overwhelmed by all of the fabulousness that is New York Fashion Week, I have pulled a few looks from my favorite designers that represent the trends that will be present in the fall. As well as pictures of things I just love, die for or have become obsessed with.

Looks That I Just Loved and Died Over

Catherine Malandrino 
I am loving the sheer and leather panels and the color of this dress. 

Alice + Olivia 
This is a GOOD dress. *wendy williams voice* Its long, green , sparkly and has an open back. I DIE!

Marchesa
Snatch the sleeves off, throw on a birdcage veil, add a bouquet of pink roses and I would wear this for my wedding. 

Ralph Lauren
Lets discuss the massive feathers that are giving me sophisticated drama! This is the definition of showing up and showing out! 


There were a million other looks that I loved, but of course I couldn't share them all! So if you're interested in seeing more of the fashions from NYFW Fall 2012, you can check out style.com for all the latest photos/videos from the runway shows.

Love,

My Resurrection

On March 19, 2017, I took a huge step in my spiritual journey. I walked into a baptism pool, lowered myself into the holy water, and allowed my mind, spirit, heart and body to be cleansed. I rose up from the water with a new outlook. I was ready to embark on the next steps of my journey as a baptized woman. A year later, I am reflecting upon the 365 plus days since my baptism and I am amazed by the growth I've experienced. Was the journey easy? Absolutely not. Was it easier to face the battles and adversity after renewing my relationship with God? Absolutely. I have constantly been reminded that God never said weapons wouldn't form. He said they wouldn't prosper (Isaiah 54:17) . I hit some bumps in the road (spiritually, financially, mentally, and physically). I went through a short season of confusion and lack of motivation. I was angry with God. I yelled at Him! (Ever seen me yelling and upset? Then you know this wasn't cute!) Literally, ye...

Holiday Fashion: Menswear

I usually don't pay much attention to men's fashion. Honestly, I thought it was dull. *shrugs*  However, recently someone asked me to help them with some menswear looks. I was hesitant at first, but then decided to do some research. It actually ended up taking up half of my day! I was excited by it! I was confused about where to start so I asked a male friend of mine (Thanks Josh!) for some suggestions and that ended up being a huge help. With his suggestions and some additional research on my own, I was able to put together about 10 or so looks. I looked at tons of retail websites, fashion magazine websites, and Googled images of celebrities. After several hours of research and putting looks together, I was pretty impressed with my work. *pats self on back* The looks are simple but fun and there are options for just about every kind of man!  I decided to do a post about it, just in case any males read this blog or if any of you ladies have men in your life that need a litt...
