New York Fashion Week!


Alright, I gotta be honest and admit I didn't really get into Fashion Week this season at first... perhaps it's the fact that I'm just dying for it to be fall and to be able to wear boots and scarfs and jackets that looking at clothes for spring makes me sick... With that said, there were many incredible collections, or at least some incredible pieces. My favorite things this season weren't any of the avant garde stuff but rather things I'm now dying to own! And they're all pretty much in black or neutral colors... I wasn't kidding, I'm sooo ready for fall.

Donna Karen was hands down my favorite, and I always have love for Betsey (I wore one of her dresses for my 21st bday party, pic on my newly updated sidebar!) and my obsession for Rachel Zoe is probably what caused me to D-I-E over the Halston collection.

At Least BAFTA came through

So much to get through today! The Grammy's were SUCH a disappointment and I decided not to cover all those fashion flops. And that Beatle's tribute!? What was that all about. Although Kanye's performance dedicated to his mother did make me cry, i think his performance was all the show really had going for it. Although I did enjoy watching Amy Winehouse actually perform via satellite... although I did doubt her sobriety at times, okay a lot of times. So despite the Grammy let down at least the BAFTA awards provided me with some lovely post-able material and I also got around to doing a review of Donna Karen's fall 2008 show. So let's get down to business and get this weather news out.

Now that business is taken care of, lets move on to the fun stuff. I have been obsessed with the 1920s flapper looks and Aubrey Beardsley prints for quite sometime now, so imagine my joy when I saw Donna Karen's Great Gatsby-esque line come down the runway. And in those fabulous autumn colors, makes me want to skip through spring and summer! The drapery, the shapes, the color, all absolutely flawless.

Last night the poorly attended Grammy's was not the only awards show. Across the pond, the BAFTA Awards, the British version of the Academy Awards, went down and had a very glittery red carpet with dramatic backs, sleeves and wonderfully subtle and natural hair styles. What a great way to kick start a week that is sure to be filled with English style as London Fashion Week has kicked off as well.

And that about sums it up for today. Expect to see a Jenni Kayne inspired weather report tomorrow, as well as the first news from London Fashion Week. Also don't forget Valentines day is Thursday and I have a very fun post planned for that! Have a great day, and enjoy whatever your locations weather brings you and have fun with your fashion choices! Just skip on that awful faux-hawk look a la Alicia Keyes.
