Pearls at Chanel

I Love these ethereal backstage images from the Chanel Spring 2012 show. 

 

NYFW Spring 2012: Garance Dore in Pink

I pointed out Garance Dore to my assistant extraordinaire while we were at Lincoln Center. This of course meant he was going to dash over to take her picture while I cowered behind a pillar. I'm not sure she was too thrilled at first about having her picture taken, but as I've mentioned before, it is hard to turn down my husband.

Me: So what do you think of her?

Him: She's a hottie! I like her smile.

Me: (discreetly pointing to Scott Schuman) That photographer is her boyfriend.

Him: Oh yeah, I already figured that out.

Lol. He's a keeper, that one.

NYFW Spring 2012: Joanna Hillman in Striped Short Suit

My assistant extraordinaire took this shot of editor Joanna Hillman while he waited for me to come out. I wonder what grabbed his attention? The darling striped suit? The red dotted Miu Miu heels? The mile long legs?

Julia Sarr-Jamois in Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Coat

I was lusting after this coat the minute it appeared on Net-a-Porter, and of course the stunning Julia would be wearing it during fashion week.

Fashion Week Style: Denim on Denim

So what's your take on denim-on-denim outfits? I think Meredith Melling Burke's look is perfect.

Miu Miu Fall 2011 + Hailee Steinfeld

I'm just going to warn you now that this will not be the last time I post about the Miu Miu Fall 2011 collection. I did much gushing over the collection back in March, and I'll continue to do so as it pops up in editorials and stores.

While my heart still is crushing on the glitter booties, the smooth leather ones in the ad are starting to grow on me.

Favorite Runway Looks: Jenny Packham Spring 2011

I had to immediately go look up Jenny Packham's whole spring collection last night after after spotting Blair Waldorf wearing a dress on Gossip Girl last night. 

I love her take on vintage silhouettes, and that she manages to make long sequin dresses look ethereal vs Dynasty. I think some of the attendees at last night's Met Ball would have done well to wear one of her creations.

Fashion Week Style: Shala Monroque Fall 2011

 

I love editor Shala Monroque's personal style. She tends to favor classic silhouettes but with a modern twist, whether it be the color or with an accessory. Shala is also frequently seen in amazing pieces designed by Miuccia Prada, sometimes right after it has hit the runway.

I can't stop staring at the second image, with the creamy pearls meshed together with a cherry stem necklace.

Favorite Runway Looks: Suno Fall 2011

I've been keeping up with the First Looks column on Vogue.com, and after seeing Suno's gorgeous moodboard I knew I was going to love the prints. For their presentation they mixed the patterns with grandpa plaids, which is right my fashion alley.

I'm also crushing on their jewelry collaboration with Lizzie Fortunato. There are lots of 1970's style necklaces and Wonder Woman worthy cuffs.

Miu Miu Resort 2011-Heart Prints

Today is the coldest day so far this year, so it is fitting that I'm dreaming about going somewhere warm. Resort lines are starting to pour into the stores, and one that I have my eye on is Miu Miu 2011. I'm a sucker for heart prints, so it is easy to love parts of this collection.

If everything goes right, I'll be able to look at the pieces up close in about 3 weeks! I love the apple green dress, and how adorable are the heart scarves?
