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.  

FIRST (official) POST!

So welcome to my first post! I'm BEYOND excited to officially join the blogging world, and i'm hoping this is one you'll enjoy for a long time to come! That being said, New York Fashion Week has come to an end, the Grammy's are tonight and I have the weather forecast for your week to do! We have a lot to get through so let's get started! 

This week was fashion week in New York and what a week it was! While I found many of the shows to be fairly safe and not particularly innovative, there were some stellar shows that really pulled everything through at the end. A huge trend I noticed hit the runways was grey, which is a color I've always been found of (the color scheme of my blog is proof!) and look forward to wearing more of! 

Zac Posen also followed suit with this chic color palette and really put together my favorite complete runway of the season. 

Some others I loved were Alexander Wang and Temperley whose grungy, punk looks managed to be pulled together in such a chic way!

Some other lines that were amazing and showed on the last day were Jenni Kayne and Donna Karen who put together very fun, exciting lines and I'll post more about them during the week. Despite all these wonderful looks on the runway, my favorite looks of all came from the fashion forward guests who attended these shows. Their insanely chic and modern looks will be scattered through out this weeks posts for daily inspiration! 

Hope everyone has a great end to the weekend. The Grammy's are tonight and they are always a fashion feast! I can't wait to see what hits (and misses!) that red carpet! And if that wasn't enough London Fashion Week starts today! A busy week awaits us!
