Fashion Week - The best of Thursday's Runway Shows

What a fabulous kick off of runway shows yesterday was!  There were some spectacular standouts on the catwalk and I was tweeting and FB all my thoughts {I may have gone a little bit crazy overboard}!  While I loved Nicholas K's fall collection I felt it was a bit predictable and showed many similarities to their Spring 2013 line this past September. Nonetheless, it was still gorgeous clothing with an adorable pooch at the end!

I wasn't too impressed with the Richard Chai Love collection either. However, there were quite a few standout pieces.

BCBG Max Azria, Timo Weiland (women's), and Tadashi Shoji were among the major standouts of the day! Fabulous models with gorgeous ensembles rocked the runway. I'm particularly in love with the high "leg warmer-esque" type fabric with that the BCGG & Weiland models rocked!

Fashion Friday - Fashion Week has Officially Begun!

We've got a lot going on here!  First it is Friday {holla!!} and second fashion week is in full swing.  Today's Fashion Friday will recap some of my favorite pieces from the aired runway shows!  All week we I will highlight some of my most favorite pieces. I would love to hear what you all thought of the shows as well!

The Best of Nicholas K Spring 2013 Collection by queennicole01 on Polyvore

Nicholas K offered up some light and airy fabrics with lots of layers that don't look frumpy at all. I could totally see the Olson Twins and maybe Justin Bieber (for the men's wear that is....haha) rock this collection.  The best way I could think to describe this collection is retro meets boho chic.  My utmost favorite piece is the one shoulder sheer ruffled top.  Great collection!

I was a little disappointed with the BCBG Max Azria collection this season. Don't get me wrong, I loved a lot of the pieces but I would have liked to see more color.  That said the jumpsuits, long flowing dresses with the sexy slits were fabulous!

The Best of Richard Chai Spring 2013 by queennicole01 on Polyvore

Richard Chai's collection for Spring 2013 offered a lot of light and sheer pastel colors mixed with floral prints and much like Nicholas K, I had the "retro" vibe running through my mind while watching {which is totally fine by me! I love anything retro!}  It was almost like retro meeting the Hamptons!  The men's collection was fabulous; very structured and nicely tailored! Well done!

The Best of Tadashi Shoji Spring 2013 by queennicole01 on Polyvore

Perhaps the best runway show from yesterday was Tadashi Shoji.  His collection was phenomenal! I would either wear some of these dresses to a wedding, in a wedding, or just for fun!  It was really hard to pick out the top choices because I think I loved the entire collection! Again, I got another retro feel from this collection; maybe Old Hollywood Glamour for the lack of a better statement. I could see Jane & Marilyn in these gorgeous pieces!  There was lots of color and tule done right! Bravo Tadashi! I LOVE YOU!

What do you guys think of yesterday's shows? If this is the beginning of what's to come then I am beyond ESTATIC!

Fashion Friday-It's FASHION WEEK

Happy Fashion Friday Blog World!  My week has become a gazillion times better 1) because we had a ton of great news about everything that happened over the weekend. If you missed Motivational Monday's post then go check out the horrible weekend I had! and 2) because it is FASHION WEEK!  I wait every season for this week to come and I enjoy it so much I sit and watch the Live Runway on YouTube over and over again! Some of my favorite designers are BCBG, Nicole Miller, Charlotte Ronson, and Nicholas K.  OMG I love, love, love them!

So for this week's Fashion Friday I am going to review what I loved on the Runway Yesterday (since I am posting this befroe Nicole Miller's & Charlotte Ronson hit the runway).  So yesterday's MB Fashion Week, Live from the Runway included Nicholas K, BCBG Max Azria, Richard Chai, and Tadashi Shoji.

Nicholas K never seizes to amaze me!  I have always loved their ability to be a little edgy and girly at the same time.  The duo gave us a little gothic with a whole lotta layers and country flare.  This is one of my favorites that came down the runway. It was one of the pieces that incorporated color! I must have color in my life!

Richard Chai had a good line too -- Lot's of neutral, structured, heavy wool separates (much like me I guess) -- I would totally wear some of this work work. Especially this little number:

I really want this! I think it is so cute.  

OH! And don't you just love these accessories from Max Azria??  I must find a way to get a hold of these shoes & bag!
