NYFW II
As more collections have begun to surface despite Nemo's best attempts at raining on NYFW's parade, I can't help but swoon over some of the pieces that I've seen! While some collections have remained dark, and I do mean dark, for fall (Altazurra, Alexander Wang, and Helmut Lang) there are others that have gotten me excited for the prospect of Fall 2013 like Mara Hoffman and Prabal Gurung. While Mara is more within my price range, I can still covet Prabal and hope that they'll end up on the sale racks of Neiman Marcus so that one day they may grace the shelves of my closet.
Here we have Mara Hoffman, who has, as usual, incorporated bold colors into her designs as the inspiration for her collection came from a band of roving thieves, tramps, and gypsies. Bright colors like turquoise, pink, and yellow give the prints an optical appeal, allowing them to pop with the black background they been featured against. The idea that she hasn't restricted herself to merely leather and wool like some other designers allows people living in all sort of climates to purchase her pieces and really get use out of them. This is me obviously referring to her flowy floor-length dresses and caftans that were my favorite parts of the collection. I also love her use of geometrical prints and the random leopard and zebra aspects that were incorporated into some of her other pieces. All in all I believe that she had a well rounded collection, something that can transgress throughout the seasons.

NYFW I
As much as I wish that I could have made my flight to NYC this weekend, snowstorm Nemo had other plans for me. Even though I wasn't going to any shows, just being in NYC this weekend with all the fashion energy would have been amazing to say the least. I've satisfied myself with photo recaps of the shows and to be quite honest, I've not been impressed with some of my favorite designers. Helmut Lang and Rag&Bone have totally disappointed me, with heavy and dull colors and lots of un-flattering (in my opinion) jackets and blazers that I could never see myself wearing. On a more positive note, there is a collection that I did fall in love with, one I would have never expected to see myself wearing.. Keep reading to find out.
