Libertine Spring 2013 A Fun Mix Of Ethereal and Wild

Libertine Spring 2013 Runway Review: The Spring 2013 Libertine collection was a like stepping through the looking glass into a colorful world of smashed kalidescopes and coming out covered in fairy dust!  A fun mix of ethereal and funky, vintage boudoir and quirky, tame and wild.  I think this may cater more to our Western edge girls over the East Coast black-out brigade, but I say work these colors wherever you can, because it truly makes fashion fun! >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS  There is every color under the rainbow, and they are all swirled together into this fantastic mess, with huge prints and clunky accessories it's a real bohemian chic statement kaer for Spring.  I love the dresses and the lightweight layering.  And

Ralph Lauren Collection Spring 2013 Matador On The Mind

Ralph Lauren Collection Spring 2013
Ralph Lauren Collection Spring 2013 Ralph Lauren Collection Spring 2013 Runway Review: Dont call it a costume affair as this landmark designer of easy-on-the-wear style has yet to disappoint  Opening with a selection of full-on looks with an ambiguous Spanish vibe (was it Spain, or Latin America on the mind?) the designer delivered a series of serious looks with an assortment of style notes to consider. Shawls, ponchos, Matador jackets, here, they all got the full-on Ralph Lauren treatment. Head-to-toe, each exit made for a convincing argument on the enduring sartorial cues and effortless romance of Spanish style influences on fashion at large. >> MORE: Ralph Lauren brand Always a pragmatist, Lauren topped said looks with berets and toppers of all

Anna Sui Spring 2013 Playful, Solid Collection With De Rigueur Rocker Edge

Anna Sui Spring 2013 Runway Review:  The most darling, goth girls rocked down the runway to a Ramones soundtrack at Anna Sui's Spring 2013 show, reminding us that rock n' roll will never die and it can indeed be pretty.  Very pretty. Sui remains consistent with her edginess by showcasing ripped stockings, metal studs, leather, and chain collars; and the sweetness comes in a slightly Victorian dollhouse way with pale pinks, intricate laces, poofy dresses, and jade pendants.  Then let's throw in a splash of 'Where The Wild Things Are' - those adorable monster ear, bejeweled hats - and we have a wild collection! >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Unless you are seventeen and living in the Lower East Side, I wouldn't recommend wearing

Reem Acra Spring 2013- Striking. Stunning. Sexy. Period.

Reem Acra  Spring 2013 Runway Review: Reem Acra showcases a stunning Spring 2013 collection of body conscious, evening wear that is nothing short of drop dead sexy.  All women should aspire this Spring to be escorted someplace with a need to wear one of these gowns; it will create a paparazzi following and have you feeling like a sexy Bond girl. A solid half of the collection had me lusting for pieces for upcoming Holiday season rather than airy Spring 2013; but the other half of buttery neutrals and pale, glittering sequins is perfect for Spring.  And I'm certainly not complaining, I would be thrilled to wear any of these dresses ANY time of the year, to be perfectly honest! >>

Rachel Zoe Spring 2013 Runway Review:   Rachel Zoe unleashes her fierce, chic self onto the Spring 2013 runway and it's really like every model strutting is a version of herself.  And not in a "I'm-so-fabulous" way, but in a "I've-got-style-DAMN-look-at-me-now" way; and it's great!  For all you chic urban ladies out there, headed to the Soho House and Hotel Bel-Air, dress yourself in Rachel Zoe and the night is yours. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS  Impeccably soft, draped fabrics in petal pinks and jungle greens, sequins and paillettes, tailored cropped pants OR gorgeous wide leg paper-bag versions, the elongated blazers come in an array of colors - all amazing - and belted is a sure cincher to show off that waistline. I can go on and

Vera Wang Spring 2013 Brims With Fall Hues and Lush Fabrics For a Seasonal Spin

Vera Wang Spring 2013
Vera Wang Spring 2013 Vera Wang Spring 2013 Runway Review: A rather opulent Spring 2013 collection was seen today at Vera Wang and it rang with rich notes of Autumn. Yet, it translated into fitted, short Spring silhouettes which made it very new and awesome. When would you think to wear jewel tone brocades, heavy gold beading, and thick lace?  Not necessarily Spring! >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS But the Bermuda shorts, snug and sleeveless peplum shells, short, closely fit sheath dresses, and sleeveless jackets all give the luxurious fabrics and colors a warm-weather shape to fit into. Vera Wang Spring 2013 This collection has much more of an eveningwear edge to it, of course with brocades and jacquard how would it

Jenny Packham Spring 2013 Runway Review: An elegant array of all things sparkling and shimmering made their way out on to the mirrored runway for Jenny Packham's Spring 2013 collection of gowns, sheaths, and an occasional dressy suiting. The rhinestones, beading, and sequins were overwhelming but graceful due to their being paired with soft neutrals and faded sorbet colors. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS  For an evening event, anything formal, this woman is who to turn to as the entire collection has something catering to every age and taste level whether you want to show extra skin, extra shimmer, and a splash of color, or if you prefer more tasteful coverage, smaller beaded panels, and a warm shade of grey. >>MORE: Jenny Packham

Michael Kors Spring 2013 Runway Review: Michael Kors.  What more can you really say about such an iconic, all-American, ready-to-wear designer and collection as a whole?!  Every season it is an array of classic looks consistent with the strong brand image; this my loves, is success.  You know what you are getting season after season but with new twists each time, nothing to make you disown the brand, and everything to keep you intrigued and buying more! >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS The seasons twist is a 60's mod feel, with color blocking, a bit of shine, and large metal hardware belts to cinch the waist.  Stripes - yes.  Bright solid yellows, reds, greens - yes.  Gold metal buckles, clasps, and zippers -

Zero + Maria Cornejo Spring 2013 Combines Structure With Draped Slouch For A Modern Edge

Zero + Maria Cornejo Spring 2013
Zero + Maria Cornejo Spring 2013 Zero + Maria Cornejo Spring 2013 Runway Review: The Zero + Maria Cornejo Spring 2013 line is a mix of structure and draped slouch, with a very modern edge, and dark, some seemingly Autumnal colors - with a final splash of bright white. Zero + Maria Cornejo Spring 2013 Cornejo keeps up the scuba-meets-day-wear trend, and showcases asymmetrical, slouchy dresses in bold graffiti-esque prints. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS I am particularly in love with the scuba material and curved structure it adds to the line with the variety of jackets and dresses; very particularly the zip front tube dress - incredibly sexy. There are layering pieces a plenty with vests, cropped leather, and soft bombers. Zero
