Summer is Officially Over

Well it came and went just like that. I kept waiting for some kind of Indian Summer, but I'm not sure it's going to happen. Time to pack up the swimsuits (that hardly went to the beach this summer) and bring on the faux fur, booties, and perfectly tailored jackets. Bring it on Fall - I'm ready for you!

Love Love Luca Luca

Not a lot of words necessary here, I think the clothes speak for themselves. Luca Luca Spring 2011 = GORGEOUS. I would wear anything from that top row any day of the week.

Hello Gorgeous!

Meet what could possibly be one of my favorite love affairs this Fall...It's not totally done yet (a work in process on the sewing machine as we speak) but I'm oooo-ing and awww-ing over the fabric so I thought I'd share. Just a sneak peek (was too excited to wait for the final product), but results to come later. :)

Fashion Week Favs Part 2: Jenny Packham

Jenny Packham was the ultimate in fresh Spring metallics. A constant theme in the show was dashes of silver and shimmer laid on top of nude fabrics (keeping the look sophisticated and light instead of bedazzled and heavy). Kind of hard not to fall in love with these floor-length gowns don't you think? Oh, and don't even get me started on the jumpsuit, like I said yesterday I've got a serious craving for one now. Do you think 5'3" is too short to be able to pull one off?

Happy Friday ladies!

Fashion Week Favs Part 1: Cynthia Steffe & Rebecca Taylor

*from the Cynthia Steffe Spring 2011 collection*

I know it will take me a few separate posts to show some of my favorites from the Spring 2011 New York Fashion Week, but here goes my first round to Rebecca Taylor and Cynthia Steffe (from Day 3 or 4). Rebecca Taylor just has a talent for dressing women in the most feminine and beautiful way (see below for the proof: the gorgeous floral prints, that green belted dress, and I adore that flowing red dress because somehow it reminds me of my momma). I've always adored her collections and only own two pieces from her, but they are classics that will never leave my closet (you've seen one of them HERE).

Oh! And did I mention Rebecca Taylor opened her show with that amazing floral jumpsuit? God help me but these jumpsuits are really really growing on me and I'm starting to crave the ability to wear these in my day-to-day life (as a CPA, rest assured I could NEVER show up to work in this *sigh* but I can still dream).

I really enjoyed Cynthia Steffe's collection this year as well for the beautiful fabrics and feminine feel, but I also enjoyed her use of color. A lot of the Spring shows I looked through had very mild palettes, and it was a joy to see her use such strong color (I loved Marc Jacobs for the same reason).
