MBFW: it's a wrap

Well, I just about DIED after seeing the new Fall collection from Rachel Zoe. As one of the last shows of the week last week, I kind of wish it wasn't saved for last (although we all understand why). I love, love, love almost everything that walked her runway. As style.com so aptly put it, she has stepped up her game in this collection and it's shown. I mean, who wouldn't want to wear some of these looks?

Fashion week in New York is dunzo but London is just kicking off. We're not going to follow it as closely as we did this one, but we'll drop in with a few favs from time to time.

MBFW: midweek recap

In light of some recent tragic occurrences to a few former classmates of mine (from my hometown), I took the day yesterday to love a little harder, let life be a little slower, and be thankful for everything in my life right this very moment. If there is one thing I've learned, life doesn't stop for no one, and it's a scary thing when you have to face that fact head on. You hope these kinds of things don't impact you directly, but they do leave ripple effects throughout the community that can be felt deep down. Sometimes little things like blogging, what's in your closet or minor disagreements don't seem to matter as much when you're forced to look at the bigger picture.

Fashion also doesn't stop for much anymore, so below you can find my top looks from the past 2 days on the runway.

MBFW: the start

It's always so hard to look at Fall looks when you feel like you're finally pulling yourself up out of the cold and reaching for the first warm beam of light. I've always kind of had a hard time switching gears to view the Feb runways, (I mean, who wants to think about wool and heavy sweaters?) but I have to say, they're lookin' good.

Here are some of my favorite looks that were shown over the weekend:

Jenni Kayne Look 1

Lela Rose Look 35

DVF Look 2

Christian Siriano Look 33

Christian Siriano Look 16

and here's who will be wrapping up this week:

Check back tomorrow for our fav looks from todays shows.

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week kicked off yesterday in NYC for the debut of the new Fall 2013 collections. Yes, Fall! The fashion world is light-years ahead of the rest of us, and the way you can always remember how the seasons are shown think this, Spring = shown in the Fall, Fall = shown in the "Spring". 

Here's the schedule for the next few days and the weekend (Sorry about it running into the side columns, I wanted you to be able to read it!). You can even watch it live at: http://newyork.mbfashionweek.com/ We'll keep you updated on the 'must see' runway looks throughout next week. Have a great weekend!
