Fashion Week(s) Fall/Winter 2010--NYC

My obsession with the Winter Games completely caught up with me and I forgot that Fashion Week had begun the day of the opening ceremonies!! Sorry about that. `=( I did pass by NY Fashion Week while going in & out of work on my lunch break. Just seeing the tents at Bryant Park was exciting and also bittersweet. This is the last season fashion week will be held in the tents in NYC. As of next year, they'll be moved to Lincoln Center...Alot of designers have protested the move to Lincoln Center since Bryant Park is right by the Garment District and where most designers have their workrooms & showrooms, as well as their resources for materials such as buttons & zippers. I honestly forgot why the move was sanctioned, and I am sad that I won't be able to stake out fashion week like I used to. Not that I ever got into a show, though. LOL. Anyways, onto the clothes!!!

The fall collections are always my favorite. Why? Well, b/c I love fall. It's the perfect time between summer & winter...And, doesn't set my allergies ablaze. `=P

Gettin' Down To Business

As you know, I tend to be slightly biased when it comes to Vera Wang. I loved her Spring/Summer collection, and the same goes for her Fall/Winter. Although, I feel like she went back to basics, color wise. It seems as though black is back! with her. And, coming from someone who's worked at a high-end department store, black was always back with me. However, coming from Vera, it looks so much cooler.

These two outfits, if I worked for like...Vogue or something (which will never happen)...I'd be wearing everyday to the office during the fall season. For the first outfit, I love the jacket b/c of the tuxedo look. Normally, I tend to have an issue with a blazer/jacket that looks like a tux, since I'm more petite and it would probably look like it's eating me alive instead of me trying to look stylish. Although, this doesn't look as bad. I like the formal, yet casual look to this.

The 2nd outfit I love more b/c of..well, you guessed it... The jacket. Although, it's hardly a jacket since it's so slouchy. It's more like a fancy cardi with sequins. I love the skinny pants look, since I'm slightly over skinny jeans. Just the fact that these are normal skinny pants make it more work appropriate, and what's best is that I could see myself wearing this to go out somewhere.

While I love accessories, I'm not sure if I'd layer such a big bib necklace with that black top in both shots. I also don't have a model body, so that's also open to debate. `=P I'd definitely do a layered necklace look with both tops, just nothing bibbed.


Flirty & Fun

Now, this outfit, I'd be rocking every night, to go out. LOL. Notice, I'm more of a pants girl. I really have nothing against dresses & skirts, just that I prefer pants since they're easier to match with a top. However, I think I just threw this outfit in just b/c I liked it. LOL.


Hmm...this outfit I'm actually more torn about. I love the top, but I'm not crazy about the pants...Or, maybe it's the pants & the top together. Like the other looks in this line, I'd prefer the skinny pants with this kind of top. Although, this top (I think) could probably be worn as a dress/tunic. Well, probably just for me.

Last but definitely not least... My favorite outfit from the Vera Wang show. `=) I love the short cocktail dress, and while I can't really rock strapless all that well... I'd love to just own this dress. I'd probably wear it exactly the way the model wears it, minus the necklace. Cocktail/short formal dresses are sure to be in once fall/winter comes around thanks in part to the the holidays. There's always going to be a reason to get dressed up for.

My other favorite outfits weren't all just from Vera. No, I like other designers, too!! These are just a few of my favorites..

Tommy Hilfiger

For the longest time, I never liked Tommy Hilfiger, even though my mom used to dress me in it...head to toe. But the last few years, he's had a resurgence in his brand. He's changed up the style and made it more...runway worthy, instead of me digging it out at Marshall's.



NGL, I'd wear this for X'Mas. I could still rock the little girl look, right? LOL.




To be honest, I'd wear this during the summer. I seriously believe that shorts shouldn't be worn during the winter..even WITH tights. That would just make me feel colder. Although, I'd wear the jacket separately.



Now, this dress I'd wear if I were the height of this model. Where would I wear this to? To whatever special occasion the fall/winter season puts me into. `=D I just love that this dress is so simple, that accessories wouldn't really be needed.

Ralph Lauren




I actually mostly picked this outfit b/c I loved the skirt. The blouse inside looks cute, too...But, I'm mostly after the skirt & tights. LOL.

This was my favorite look of the entire Ralph Lauren collection. I'd love to wear this dress just about everywhere. However, I'd also freeze like no tomorrow. LOL. This dress just looks like a fun dress to wear at an X'Mas party...Maybe not an office party, though. LOL.
