Charlotte Ronson Spring 2008 Fashion Show

NY Fashion Week
Charlotte Ronson Spring 2008 Fashion Show
09.05.2007

Charlotte Ronson's spring show had a lot of great looks that are perfect straight off the runway. The models were like fresh faced school girls adorned in baby doll dresses, shorts, or high-waisted jeans -- mod with a bit of infused hippy chic. I loved the lace trim in some of the outfits such as this zig-zag treatment in the baby doll dress above which was seen in other pieces in the show.

Key Looks: baby doll dresses, shorts, high-waisted jeans.
Key Colors: navy, gray, hot pink, denim, white, and yellow.

Here are more key looks from the Charlotte Ronson Spring 2008 Fashion Show:

The high-waisted jeans were some of the best I've seen on the runway tied smartly together with a brown and tan woven wide belt.

The small tie detail at the neck looks so cute!

Perfect looking gray pleats with button detail...

More zig zag lace, note the skinny belt with mini skirt.

Teal is a great color for spring and I love the knitted bodice of this tank dress.

fashion indie magazine Launch Party

Daniel from Fashion Indie launched his magazine in style with a party at Boucarou Lounge. We got there late so we missed the line down the street, police trying to shut it down and guest appearances by Damon Dash and Ajuma Daily.
Congrats Daniel! The magazine is beautiful. And thanks for sneaking us in at the end of the party. :-)

Coquette is featured.

Dishin' with Lisa Rinna

I made it inside the tent. Thanks Stacy!

I got the chance to talk to Lisa Rinna (of Melrose Place and Dancing with the Stars fame) about what else, bras and boobs. As Lisa so aptly put it "aren't they a girl's best accessory?" We dished about how we talk to the women in our life about everything under the sun, yet no one feels comfortable getting fitted properly for a bra. Lisa was telling me about the new Playtex site that helps women find the right size and right bra for them. I luuvv it!
Lisa was then heading off to the shows to look for a dress for the Emmys. Might there be a Vera Wang gown in her future? You'll have to tune in to find out.

Rag and Bone Spring 2008 Fashion Show

NY Fashion Week
Rag and Bone Spring 2008 Fashion Show
09.05.2007

It's safari time with Rag & Bone's Spring show featuring lots of great jackets and mini-dresses. It's all about tying it at the waist for most of the looks and the dapper hats gave the safari look a more sophisticated air. One of my favorites? The black motorcycle style jacket above that still looked light and feminine.

Key Looks: hipster safari, jackets, shorts, mini-dresses, skinny or cropped pants.
Key Colors: stripes, khaki, tan, gray, pale blue, black.

Trendible Lounge Bloggers Party

The tent at Bryant Park at night.

The Trendible Lounge Bloggers Party was across the street at the Penguin store.

Diana Eng (of Project Runway fame) was sporting her blogging bag. A hidden camera instantly posting photos to her blog. OMG! Diana is THE GADGET GIRL.

Thanks to Daniel and Diana for hosting a great party.

Yigal Azrouel Spring 2008 Fashion Show
09.05.2007

If you can believe it, the first time I heard of the brand Yigal Azrouel was back in the late 90's because of their slick Flash site. I love the casual and sophisticated look to his clothes.  It seems it's all about wide leg pants lately and from what I've seen so far this spring, Yigal's version feels relaxed and not forced -- a great modern update to the classic trouser look.

Key Looks: loose dresses, wide pants, jumpsuits, thin belted shorts.
Key Colors: white, tan, army green, orange, yellow, and black.

LAMB Spring 2008 Fashion Show

LAMB Spring 2008 Fashion Show
09.05.2007

Gwen Stefani's fashion label LAMB has proved to become a staying force in fashion now and it's even more apparent with this spring show. I gravitated more toward the feminine pieces especially this outfit above with the long gingham checked ruffle skirt, green sweater, and wide yellow belt and yellow oxford booties. Of course most of all the outfits coming down the runway were paired with LAMB bags.

Key Looks: school girl sweaters and skirts, 60's siren, leopard prints, ruffles, wide belts, oxford booties.
Key Colors: plaids, black, white, yellow, green.

Here are some key pieces from the LAMB Spring 2008 Fashion Show:

Just an example of some of the great knits in LAMB's new line. This V print sweater is perfect!

Love the nude shoes!

Headed for the Italian Riviera....

Rachel Comey Spring 2008 Fashion Show

NY Fashion Week
Rachel Comey's Spring 2008 Fashion Show
09.05.2007

One of the best things about Fashion Week is finding designers I've never heard about. Right now, I'm loving Rachel Comey (bio here) a NY based designer who got her shot to fame by designing a shirt worn by David Bowie on Letterman. With this spring's collection, Rachel gives a nod to vintage chic and hey, glasses are sexy. I could see myself in almost all of her outfits from the short cropped jackets to flowy dresses. Red was used a lot as a vibrant accent color from shoes to red fingernails.

Key Looks: cropped jackets, thin belted shorts, wide belts for dresses and skirts, cropped pants.
Key Colors: whites, prints, teal, red, and brown.

Here are some key pieces I adore from Rachel Comey's Spring 2008 Fashion Show:

Fashiontribes & Papierdoll party @ Te Casan

I had a blast at the party! Amazing shoes, bags, cocktails and live music. And I met some cool peeps from Zink magazine and Top Button

Te Casan is a beautiful space. An art gallery for shoes.

I luuvv this display. The background on the designer helps sell the shoes.

John Lee designed these beautiful dresses. I wanted to buy them all.

Special thanks to Lesley for hosting a great party. Here we are glammin' it up! ~Leigh
