New York Fashion Week spring 2013 trends from the runways

New York Fashion Week ended last week and left Fashionistas everywhere with something to covet for the spring/summer 2013 season. The overall looks from designers offered colorful combinations on soft fabrics. There was a 1960’s vibe and hemlines dropped below the knee. Shoes were lower to the ground and toes got a little pointy. Handbags were either classic and structured or soft in the form of a hobo. Some designers opted for neutral hues while others continued with bright colors into the New Year. There were prints, florals and playful patterns. A little bit of kitsch remained on the runway for 2013 and styles were a little more casual than what was shown in 2012.

Here is a snapshot of what was hot on the runways:

Fabrications:

Silk * Lace * Leather

Colors:

White * Black/White * Black * Beige *Cobalt * Bright Colors mixed together * Metallics *Neutrals

Handbags:

Flowing silhouettes with structured handbags * The hobo returns

Shoes:

Pointed toes * Flat sole shoes *Ankle straps

Apparel:

Longer hemlines * 1960’s silhouettes * Stripes * Prints * Florals * Leopard print

There you have it! It should be interesting to see which of these land on the streets in spring 2013!

Chanel Infidele nail polish from Fashion’s Night Out 2012

Chanel Infidele is a hot new nail polish shade from Chanel’s limited edition Fashion’s Night Out collection. This beautiful berry hued nail polish is one of three nail polish colors which had been released the day before Fashion’s Night Out 2012 on September 6.

With shades of purple and burgundy being hot for the fall 2012 season, Chanel Infidele is the perfect hue for wearing on a daily basis. Infidele by Chanel is a cool berry color which is similar to a dark cherry. The cool nature of the color makes Chanel Infidele perfect for pairing with this season’s hottest trends including black, leather, jewel tone colors and neutrals. Love that!

Chanel Infidele even has an edgy side to it which makes this color work well with this fall’s rocker chic trend which includes studs, leather and lace. This is also a great color for a Fashionista who is not a big pink or red nail polish fan. The shade is not red enough or pink enough to qualify for the red or pink categories; making it the perfect alternative to those traditional hues.

Chanel Infidele is currently sold in Chanel Boutiques and at chanel.com. The nail polish is $26 a bottle and is limited edition. Grab one while you still can!

If Chanel Infidele has passed you by, there are similar colors on the market. You can try “Red Berries Smoothie” by Sephora, “Saville Row” by Nails Inc.  or “Graphic Berry” by Dior. Happy shopping and stay fabulous
