The Scene: Kicking Off Fashion Week With BCBG

New York Fashion Week is finally here! And what a better way to kick it off then with BCBGMaxAzria? After getting a sneak peek of the Fall 2012 collection backstage and chatting with a few celebs, I wished Max Azria good luck and took my seat. For fall, it was all about colorblocking (yes, my fave trend continues!) pleats, longer lengths and luxe mixes of leather and fur.

As for what I wore?

I was lucky enough to borrow this gorgeous runway dress from Max Azria’s showroom in LA. I paired it with over-the-knee boots to keep warm, cinched my waist with a vintage belt and added simple Stella & Dot snake studs. And my look happened to be right in line with the runway! Models sported sleek ponytails and merlot was a major color trend, mixed with creams and taupes. Can’t wait for Day 2!

I saved the best for last at fashion week. I absolutely adored this skirt of my mom’s from the 80s. And the sheer, burn-out fabric couldn’t be any more on trend for the season. So I took it to the tailor to take out some of the volume and packed it up for NYC. My mother used to wear it with tights. But I layered a mini dress under to show off the full sheer effect. Fall decided to kick in my last night in the city and the wind created gorgeous shapes as I walked to Lincoln Center for the last time this week.

I spent my final evening of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week with my fellow bloggers (including Jeannine Morris of Beauty Sweet Spot, pictured below) at an exclusive DKNY fashion show hosted by American Express (you can check out my review on the AMEX Skybox Report). It got a little chilly in the tents so I added a leather jacket over the dress to watch the resort show.

I hope you enjoyed all my coverage of fashion week! Stay tuned for Spring 2012 trend reports from the runway, coming soon…

ttF Fashion Diary: NYFW Day 7

ttF Fashion Staple: Orange Pencil Skirt
I’m thrilled I bought this orange skirt. Because after a week at fashion week, it’s definitely one of the hottest colors continuing into next year. For day 1, I paired the bright with more brights. But today, I swapped the color for spots… double spots actually.

Highlights today included watching Chado Ralph Rucci in the American Express Skybox. It’s always an incredibly sophisticated collection, but today had surprises with plastic inserts and plastic fingerless gloves on all the models. My favorite pieces were romantic white dresses that any bride would be lucky to wear. Then, it was on to Milly, which was a vibrant step in a more playful direction. I can’t wait to shop the geometric prints and striped cardigans next spring.

Tomorrow is the last day of fashion week! Make sure to check back to see what’s in store…

Tonight, I got the pleasure of seeing Tibi and Narciso Rodriguez at the American Express Skybox. Having never been to a Narciso show, I was absolutely psyched. Unfortunately, I’ve started to come down with a bit of the fashion week flu. So I wanted to make sure to stay warm at the tents. I buttoned a denim shirt up to my neck (a trend I’ve been noticing for next spring as well) and added two necklaces for extra shine. Then I slipped on my new silver pumps because nothing makes me feel better than a gorgeous pair of heels.
