On Friday, February 10th, we were lucky enough to throw our own Fashion Week party in NYC! We called on all of our favorite bloggers, whether they lived in New York or were visiting for fashion week, to join us at Openhouse Gallery for a night of fashion and fun. Decorated to look like Central Park in Spring, Openhouse Gallery was the perfect venue to host our Fashion Week kickoff party! Upon entering, guests were given a Style Map that would lead them to their style destination, where they could then browse from tons of cute LuLu*s pieces to find the perfect item to take home…on us!

Below we have some pics of our lovely attendees, all looking fashionable and ready to party!

Love the brights and polka dots!

Super cute trio of lovelies!

After just arriving back from New York after helping out with our NYFW event Style Studio, I still have fashion week fever. This year, like most every year, my Valentine is fashion, and I have anxiously awaiting the new shows from NYFW. Below are my picks of my favorite shows so far! Tune in Friday for Part Two of our favorite shows from NYFW!!

Okay, so this isn’t women’s wear, but it wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without some eye candy. Plus Michael Bastian’s show was one of the highlights of NYFW’s menswear. So enjoy. And yes, that is Tyson Beckford on the far right.
