With the ending of the New York Fall/Winter Fashion Week shows, I know you're all in that F/W 2012 wardrobe state of mind.
I, however, still can't get over Tory Burch's S/S 2012 collection.
Jason Wu completely blew his Fall 2012 show out of the water!
His show started off with drumming beats and a huge mysterious red door. Only to quickly open up with a gush of smoky fog, as his models (also referred to as Wu girls) fiercely strutted the catwalk.
Make up included fierce smoky eyes with hints of deep green colors. Hair was completely slicked back into a tight long ponytail. I mean, these models practically looked like they were ready to kick everyone’s...well, you know what. And to some extent, that was true. According to Wu’s lead hair stylist, “Jason always does a strong girl…A Wu girl is always a fighter”.
Essentially, the combination of Jason Wu’s Fall 2012 modern pieces along with model’s fierce hair and makeup made you feel as if you were in some sort of Chinese dynasty movie. According to sources, Wu, drew much of his inspiration for this collection from Imperial China.
As for the pieces in this collection, the clothing pretty much spoke for itself. His color story consisted of red, deep pink, black, burgundy, gold and army green. Gold embroidery, black brocade, and hints of fur made the collection super luxurious. Overall, Wu’s collection was super edgy and modern but also fiercely romantic. The fashion for this show was on point! This is undoubtedly one of Wu’s strongest shows thus far.
Absolutely loved! Congrats Jason Wu-your collection is beyond amazing!
It's about that time of year again! No, I am not referring to Valentine's Day, but Fashion Week! Starting February 9, New York will be kicking off Fall/Winter 2012 Fashion Week followed by London, Milan and Paris. Unlike last year, where the shows were based out of the tents of Bryant Park, the F/W 2012 shows will take place at the Lincoln Center, similarly to Spring/Summer 2012. So the tents are down, and stages are up!
Unfortunately, I won't be volunteering backstage this season, but, I will be reviewing here on my blog, so stayed tuned for Fashion Week reviews!

The highly anticipated fashion collaboration this season has officially launched online! Karl Lagerfeld, fashion designer, legend, and mastermind behind the fashion houses, Chanel and Fendi, collaborated with lux fashion website Net-A-Porter to create a hip, edgy, uber fashionable and affordable collection. What beats fabulous clothes and reasonable prices?...Pretty much nothing!
In honor of this outstanding collaboration, I pulled together some of my favorite pieces and styled them to give you a head start on your shopping! Check them out down below.

Along with the debut of his collection, Net-A-Porter featured a face-to-face interview with Karl Lagerfeld, and, Karl Lagerfeld...Yes, he interviewed himself! Watch this bizarre, but clever video:
For those of you who don't know, Mr. Levi Maestro, is my everyone’s favorite video blogger. He produces all his videos and hosts his online show, 'Maestro Knows'. Based out of Los Angeles, CA, he gives us viewers and readers a close look at his life through his world travels and experiences. Whether it's a day of skateboarding, taking a trip to South Africa, or hanging out with stars such as Jay Kennedy and Anthony Hamilton, his fans can all live vicariously through his videos. As a fan of Maestro, I live by his words:
"You gotta work hard and do for yourself, cause nobody else is gonna do what you want for you."-LM
Aside from serving as an inspiration to many, by proving that with hard work, dreams can become reality, Maestro has introduced himself to the fashion industry. Needless to say, he has been welcomed to the fashion world with open arms. In the past few months, he has been hard at work, collaborating with Vans Vault, to create a new sneaker, already released, in January 2012. His sneakers have been featured in SNEAKER FREAKER's 23rd Issue.
So what exactly do his sneakers look like? What's all the rave? His new sneakers, are made out of grey premium leather with a suede finish on the upper front of the sneakers. And, to your surprise, when you flip them over, you'll find yourself a rainbow blend colored sole (talk about a showstoppin' pair of kicks!) AMAZING! His idea's both bold and impressive. The meaning behind the sneakers?:
"Grey is just my favorite color and the bottom is like
the idea of how a person can sometimes be different inside
