I am through-and-through a creature of fall and winter. They are absolutely my favorite seasons – give me a jacket over a swimsuit any day.  So when it came to picking my 5 favorite collections from NYFW, well, I struggled. But I made it through to the other side! In no particular order, here are my favorite shows from NYFW fall 2013.

1. Phillip Lim 3.1: This was a natural pick for me, seeing as I would wear every single piece in this show. The neo-bohemian Harley Davidson inspired girl pulled at my heart strings. Lim named the collection “Sono Mama” which is a Japanese phrase for “as you are” which describes this show perfectly. All the outfits had the feeling of being haphazardly thrown on to create the perfect devil-may-care biker attitude.

2. Marc Jacobs: What can you even say about this show? There was so much to love. The glowing sun-like orb. The topless model. The glam. The hotpants. It brought me back to my 16 year-old self obsessed with glam rock and David Bowie (who am I kidding, I still am). Not only was the presentation out-of-this-world, but so were the clothes. Bravo, Marc, Bravo.

 

3. Prabal Gurung: I have to admit, sometimes the whole military theme in fashion really bores me. It has been a recurring theme in fashion for a long time, and recently, I had had my fill of it. Prabal Gurung has thoroughly changed my mind. I love the tailored feminine silhouettes combined with the masculine military colors and harnesses! Though Gurung’s collection moved me visually, it was the back story that sealed the deal for me. He created his army of “confident, self assured women” based off the Ukraine’s Asgarda, a group of women trained in martial arts to fight the culture of human trafficking in their country and empower their women peers. I’m not sure if the Asgarda is a real thing, but it’s totally badass, just like Gurung’s collection.

 

4. Proenza Schouler: This collection oozes of maturity, refinement, and sophistication, and I love it. This collection is such a 180 from last season, where their show was filled with vibrant, kaleidoscopic prints. They grew up a little bit with this collection, and it worked out beautifully for them. Their pieces were simple and vintage inspired, and reminded me of 50s couture, but with textures and shapes that made them more unconventional.

 

5. Kate Spade: It was a surprise for me, putting Kate in my top five, but it happened. I have always liked Kate Spade, but something about this seasons cheeky patterns and 80s bubblegum prints really got me. And really, who doesn’t love big hair? I’m normally and all black kind of girl but you may see me in fall prancing around in a doughnut sweater. Maybe.

]]> This past weekend we got to set up shop at the W Hotel during Fashion Week in NYC, partnering up with Simply Stylist for an event that truly linked industry experts to consumers! With panels of fashion icons and celebrity editors, as well as blogger style competitions, this was one style-packed afternoon!
Panels with industry leaders and style icons.
The lovely group of panelists below was comprised of bloggers, stylists and editors! From left to right we have Lindsey of Saucy Glossie, Celebrity Stylist Joey Tierney, Marie Claire Editor Abby Gardner, Style Expert Lindsay Albanese, E! News host Catt Sadler and Simply Stylist founder Sarah Pollack-Boyd! So many talented women!
We were sure to bring fall’s hottest trends in clothing and accessories, and no LuLu*s event is ever complete without our infamous spinning wheel!
Once the shopping event started, attendees were scooping up all the fabulous pieces and having a blast perusing the collection with friends!
Some star bloggers were brought in for a style-off competition! Asked to choose from brands at the event, they created looks with their favorite finds! Here are all the pretty bloggers lined up and everyone is wearing something from LuLu*s!  From left to right there is Erica of Fashion Chalet, Lauren of Lauren Messiah, Grasie of Style Me Grasie and Jacey Duprie of Damsel in Dior! Vote for your favorite here!

Overall, it was a ton of fun I can’t wait to partner up with Simply Stylist again, and hopefully we will see you at the next event!
