New York Fashion Week is the most unproductive 7 days of my year. Which is really saying something since I usually spend around 75 days a year in the fetal position willing away a massive hangover. Instead of doing the mountains of work that give me the stink-eye the moment I sit down at my desk every morning, I spend this most glamorous week poring over pictures of clothing from the best designers in the world. For hours. Every day.

I love seeing what new and innovative things they come up with, what new trends they’ve incorporated into their new lines, and what I’ll be wearing come Fall 2011….when Target/H&M/Kohl’s take their ideas and brings ‘em down to my broke-ass level.

And according to today’s “research,” it’s gonna be a frumpy fall. Like, hide yo wife and hide yo curves, frumpy. Gone are mini-skirts, cinched waists and bandage dresses. In their place? Shapeless frocks in patterns that look eerily similar to the drapes your grandma has hanging in her sitting room. Read More »

[I want it, I need it, I can't live without it. Or that. Or that over there. Or that cute top that girl's wearing.... There are so many things on store shelves and racks right now that we want to take home and hang in our closets. Things that are so cute, everyone should know about them. But there's so much to sift through, how can you find the best of the best? No worries; we've scoured stores, online stores, and stores again (it's a tough job but someone's got to do it) and we'll share our finds with you here.  As far as actually getting them goes....well, you're on your own with that one.]

September marks that fine time of year when I finally feel it’s socially acceptable to implement all the fashion trends I learned during fall Fashion Week without soaking them in August sweat stains. I watched the shows, I made mental notes, and I’m ready to sacrifice a heat stroke and a paycheck if the cool of Autumn decides to be fashionably late this year.

While it may still be too hot to handle my fall wish list, it’s not too soon to track down my most desired fall must have: the camel coat.

Classic, chic, warm enough to carry you through winter when you’ve blown your budget on your fall coat – you just can’t go wrong with this pick. The delicious caramel and honey tones work with every skin tone and hair color, and call it a trend if you must, but a neutral color like camel never goes out of style. Read More »

Fashion Week and all its bittersweet glory has come and gone. The last Fashion Week to be shown at Bryant Park, designers pulled out all of the tricks under their sleeves to make it unforgettable.  The big white tents, made even whiter by the snow, brought new looks into the new decade that will be sure to translate into your wardrobe.  So what will you be wearing next fall?

NYFW has now come to a close and while I’m sad my Twitter page won’t be filled with tweets of only the best fashion porn live from the runways, I can now dream up how I will apply soon-to-hit trends into my everyday ensembles. One way? Feathers.

Marc Jacobs made the most adorbs feather trimmed coat that made me want to go to an arts and crafts shop and glue feathers all. over. my. clothes. But then I realized I would in fact look like I went to an arts and crafts shop and glued feathers all over me….

So I took it to the online stores instead. Read More »
