Spring 2011 Trend: Get ready to stock your closet with the LWD

By on September 16, 2010 in Clothes, Designers, Fashion, Shopping, Style, Trends

You can keep those LBDs on their hangars come this Spring because this season it is all about the LWD: the Little White Dress. Nearly every designer showcasing their Spring collection at New York Fashion Week this past week had a super cute, super tailored LWD on display and I couldn’t get enough. I particularly am loving the little white numbers from Christian Siriano, Ports 1961, Preen and Lela Rose.

More NYFW coverage coming soon – playing catch up after an amazing (but exhausting!) week in New York. xo

My Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Lineup

By on September 9, 2010 in Clothes, Designers, Fashion, Style, Trends

Hi lovelies! I’m writing to you from the skies (got to love Virgin America’s in-flight WiFi) on my way to New York for what promises to be a fabulous week of work and play. Like last season, I’m once again very lucky to have a fabulous line up of designers’ collections to see grace the runways and I could not be more excited.

I’ll be tweeting throughout the week (like, tweeting, A LOT. Consider yourself warned :) ) so be sure to follow me on Twitter if you don’t already!

Friday:

Edition Georges Chakra

Ports 1961 (if last February’s show was any indication, this will be wonderful again)

Nicole Miller

Saturday:

Cynthia Rowley (So was not expecting this invite, but was thrilled when it came into my inbox!)

Z Spoke by Zac Posen

Sunday:

Rebecca Minkoff (I’ve missed so many of Rebecca’s chic press events in the past due to being based in San Francisco so I’m giddy over going to this one. If you read WIT & Whimsy often you know I adore her. I also am betting on her showcasing her new shoe collection which will be awesome to get a sneak peek at in person.)

Cynthia Steffe (Cynthia is a favorite designer of mine and her show last February was super chic)

Monday:

Tracy Reese (She’s the master of fun prints so this collection I’m sure will be punchy all the way down the runway)

Monique Lhuillier (In the words of Rachel Zoe, I DIE.)

Betsey Johnson

Tuesday:

Tibi (Another favorite designer – as seen here)

Wednesday:

Nanette Lepore (I love what Nanette does with color so I have no doubt this show will be pure fun. Andrea and I write about her pieces quite often)

Ports 1961 Spring 2011 Sneak Peek

By on September 7, 2010 in Clothes, Designers, Fashion, Style

I’m lucky enough to be once again attending the Ports 1961 show this season (it was wonderful this past February and the very first show I got to see in the Tents so it will always hold a fond place in my heart :) ) and if this sneak peek sketch from the upcoming show this Friday is a hint of what’s to come, I cannot wait. This chartreuse color is a favorite of Andrea’s for good reason and I just know this dress is going to be killer when it struts down the runway on some slinky model.

This season, Ports 1961 designer, Fiona Cibani, draws inspiration from the magic allure of the desert. With delicate mirage abstractions and a landscape in constant evolution as her muse, Fiona crafts a collection within a realm of harmonic contrasts.
