Day 1 of #NYFW

New York Fashion Week kicked off fairly typical. So far only one major hiccup, People's Revolution pulled out last minute on David Tlale's show on Sept 6th. Kelly Cutrone's company announced their departure because they were not being paid (racked). Note to anyone who hires any public relations company - they do not work for free!

Nicholas K's collection was probably my favorite through day one, it is full of perfectly draped pieces and screams casual boho-chic. The thick headbands is interesting for Spring, but none the less a great look when your hair is parted down the middle.

As for the rest of the shows, there were hints of strong (highlighter) yellows, a few light pastels and a lot of great black accents. Whether it be a little leather panel, lace trimming or a strappy heels, black accents are everything this spring.

Let Day 2 begin! Personally I am looking forward to Rebecca Minkoff and of course viewing all the tweets from the Project Runway show.

#nyfw begins!

Nothing like New York Fashion Week to get you back in the blogging mode. This time I am back for good... anyways back to what is important, the FW 2013 collections!

February brings the Fall/Winter collections, and no doubt I woke up early on my day off to check it out. Nicholas K was my favorite this morning, the sibling duo brought oversized coats, draping, capes and some petite leather details. The goggle/glasses was the perfect touch, although very different from the large rounded glasses from their spring collection. The palette was packed with neutrals, charcoal, navy blues and with a forest green cape to die for. Oversized to perfection and a few capes are definitely going to be a trend this Fall & I am a-okay with that.  Here are just a few of my favorite looks from Nicholas K this morning:

a little cape obsessed.

loving the hoods.

Then BCBGMAXAZRIA hit the runway, and I was aw-struct by this gorgeous ensemble below. I am typically not a fur kind of girl, but the flow of this is absolutely impeccable in my eyes. From the beanie all the way to the high slitted white maxi, I am smitten.

Many thanks to Mercedes-Benz for making ever single show in the Lincoln Centre live during New York Fashion Week! I have been watching the shows all day and I will continue to do so for the next week. The come at the runway from a couple different angles, even zooming up close so those of us not lucky enough to attend can check out the small details too!
