CFDA Awards Red Carpet 2012

Ok I know I am a little late reporting from the CFDA Awards Red Carpet which took place Tuesday in NYC, but as far as I'm concerned it's never too late to frolic over fun photos of your favorite fashion and designing stars. It is also never too late to ponder the crazy fact that Full House twins Ashley and MK Olsen are now official fashion designers thanks to their CFDA win for their overpriced collection The Row.. SO here goes....courtesy of WWD

GUCCI's Fall 2011 Chiffon Winner

I just can't get enough of Frida Giannini's stunning gem-hued cross-over front chiffon dresses with cascading bloomed accents for GUCCI's Fall 2011 collection, and apparently neither can anyone else. Heck, redhead singer songwriter Florence Welch ordered one in each color for her most recent North American tour! I therefore dedicate this entire post to the one and only GUCCI chiffon dress....

Fashion's Night Out: September. 8. 2011

Just three years on and Fashion's Night Out continues to be the most exciting fashion event where celebrities, designers, and regular people like you and me get a chance to mingle for the ultimate night of fashion and shopping. From London to New York, the best way to navigate FNO in your city is to choose one specific area that houses your absolute favorite shops/party events. You can always hop the subway to another event location after. What you will need: The official FNO shopping MAP for your city, a cell phone with built in camera, your 'front of the line' game face while you wait in absurdly long lines for a glimpse of your favorite shop, and a large handbag to stash all and any goodies you get your hands on. Oh, and don't miss Target's Pop Up store for an exclusive chance to snap up their Missoni for Target collection which officially debuts September 13!
Just 17 days 'till fashion's best party of the year, and I will see you there!

Julianne Moore Bows Us Over

I am loving the always gorgeous redhead Julianne Moore along with the elegant Jason Wu ensemble she wore to The Big Lebowski Blue Ray release party just the other night. I'm a huge fan of the black and ivory/white combination, and just how fabulous is that oversize bow??

Color Blocked by Meredith Wendell

Browsing (yep, that's internet window shopping for me) through Net-A-Porter's collection of handbags the other day, I came across this lovely color blocked shoulder bag by New York based Meredith Wendell, and well we clicked right away. I love the school bag feel, the canvas and leather combination, and of course the bright painterly reds and blues...Exclusive via Net-A-Porter

The September Fashion Issues

For even the most seasoned fashionistas who've seen it all, there is an indescribable pang of excitement and hunger when the big fat September issues start arriving in the mailbox. Packed with glossy pages featuring scrubbed and styled models wearing the latest wooly Fall collections, it creates an insatiable need for a whole new season of clothes and accessories...It's when my creative mind starts to spin with gorgeous images of chunky knit tops, complicated looking suede platforms, yummy winter color charts, soft leather booties, a rainbow of opaque tights (my favorites)....and on it goes until next Spring....I'm exhausted already and I haven't even begun!...Here are some of the mag covers I loved most, and do take note of the flowy chiffon-esque fabrics and silhouettes that are very on point for Fall....
