OBSESSED: Suno Fall 2012

Suno is quickly becoming one of my favorite designers at NYFW.  I love the way the designers mix patterns, and I feel like they take a really fun approach to fashion.  I adore the black and white tree dress, and I really hope someone cool wears it to a semi-important event because it deserves some attention.  As a side note, not that I don't love Rachel Bilson, but I don't think she did my favorite dress from their spring collection justice at her Shoemint event.

As for trends, Suno captured the dark floral and the mixing patterns trends, I am obsessed with their floral shoes, and my only negative comment is that I am not crazy about the bedazzled looks at the end only because they are not my style.  What do you think?  Hit or miss?

Favorite Looks from Day Three of NYFW

I am super excited about this post today because three out of the four collections below I have never reviewed.  Calla, Christian Cota and Wes Gordon are new designers to me, and I am loving the way they mix prints.  The funky vibe from Calla and Christian Cota is great, and I adore the pretty and prim look Calla went for as opposed to the incredibly stylish Mexican desert look Cota channeled.  Also, Gordon's lace pieces are to die for, and I love the deep yellows and reds Cota and Gordon used to bring their collections to life against the sea of inevitable black that comes down the runway during fall.

Last but not least, I love Jill Stuart's fall floral collection.  The pieces are simple but make a statement are embrace the dark floral trend and collared dress look that is so popular on the runway this week.  I love the lace shirt mixed with the floral skirt, and the cut out dresses.  I know Stuart's collection goes a whole different way than the other three before it, but there's something fun and put together about it that ties it in with my favorite looks from day three.

OBSESSED: Jason Wu and Peter Som Fall 2012

Two of my favorite collections so far have been Jason Wu and Peter Som.  While Jason Wu went a little different than I expected, his glamour looks were spot on.  I wasn't as crazy about the Asian undertones and the Chinese hats, but his last five or so looks were gorgeous and worthy of any red carpet.  Peter Som's sophisticated structured looks were amazing, and I loved his big fur coats that lifted his looks from simple to chic.  

What did you think?  Were Wu's and Som's collections hits or misses?

NYFW: Favorite Looks from Day 1 & 2

We're three days in to New York Fashion Week, and I know I say this every season, but my goal is to get through the whole month in a timely manner and talk about some of my favorite backstage, beauty, runway and street style looks.  First, I'll start with my favorite runway looks from day one and day two of NYFW.

So far, I haven't seen a whole lot of new trends emerge.  Florals have gotten darker, collared dresses are still in, and designers are still all about mixing patterns and textures.  My favorite of the collections below are Helmut Lang and Rebecca Taylor.  Lang's looks are edgy and sophisticated with pops of a burgundy/umber color that has shown up a few times already on the runway.  Taylor's last two flowy sheer floral dresses are to die for, and the last one is rocking a cap sleeve, which was pretty big on the runway at Jason Wu.

Stay tuned for a more in depth review on one of my new favorite designers Suno and a look at the genius that is Peter Som, Jason Wu and Rag & Bone!   I'll try to keep you all as up to date as possible, but in the mean time, follow my Tumblr for quick posts about my favorite looks so far.

Red Carpet Picks from Pre-Fall 2012

Award season is upon us, and I know I say this in a lot of my posts, but there's so many great looks this season, from Pre-Fall alone, that deserve to have a moment.  Here's some of my picks, and one (green Jason Wu dress) already got rocked by Emma Stone at the Critics' Choice Awards!

What do you think?  Any I left out?
