Favorite Beauty Looks from NYFW

NYFW: Suno, Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan and Narciso Rodriguez

So, first and foremost, my favorite collection of the four below is definitely Suno.  I love the prints and the shapes of the clothes, and let's just say I have already given my heart away to that polka dot dress.  It is absolutely gorgeous, and if someone doesn't wear that on the red carpet I will probably cry.  OK, not really, but please, someone wear it!

I might be one of the few who think this, but I thought the spring Marc Jacobs collection had more high points in it than the fall, although I think some of those dresses channel Prada's fall looks, which makes me detract a few awesome points from the outfits.  I like the plaid dresses, and the weird textures/fabrics going on in his collection that make me want to see them in person.  AND the shoes!  The shoes are amazing, I'll post on them later when I drool collectively over all the shoes at NYFW (not literally of course).

Donna Karan seemed to be channeling Africa, but I feel like her collection would work better in the fall than as a spring collection because of its orange, brown and black color palette.  I am also not sure if the necklaces the models are wearing are totally awesome or just weird and rooster-like (maybe they can be both).  My favorite pieces are the two patterned dresses that cross by the neck and form a V.  They are totally stunning and seem really flattering.

Narciso Rodriguez's collection is pretty with layered pieces that create a color blocking feel, but it's the white dresses at the end that had me going "aww pretty."  Personally, I think they are the show stealers, as I wasn't that crazy about his collection, although I do applaud is minimalistic approach to looking chic.

What are your thoughts?

NY Fashion Week: Glamour Done Right

Here's two collections from New York Fashion Week that have pieces that I think epitomize glamour.  Donna Karan and Carolina Herrera's fall 2011 collections were elegant, refined and let's face it, down right pretty.  They both used fur and metalic fabrics, which were both big hits on the runway this season.  I like the mostly muted tones Karan used and as for Herrera, I love her use of sequins and the last dress below is so pretty and different with it's business shape but evening wear accents.

What collections do you think had a lot glamourous looks?

More ad campaigns for Abbey Lee Kershaw

Abbey Lee Kershaw has landed two more ad campaigns for spring 2011.  The first (my favorite) is for Versace, and the second is alongside Karlie Kloss for Donna Karan.

Take a look!

Donna Karan Spring 2011

I'm going to give the award of prettiest collection to Donna Karan.

I love the nude and gold colors she used and the crinkle jackets, ugh I die.  The silhouettes on her dresses are so simple, but they are absolutely stunning with their details.

I am running out of celebrities for the amount of dresses I want to see on the red carpets, but ugh, these dresses are far too pretty not to be seen by the more of the public.
