Day two of New York Fashion Week was a ton of fun! The weather was warm; much warmer than I am used to it being at fashion week in February! Normally the temperatures are well below thirty, and there is always at least one day in single digits. This season, the temperatures were hovering in the fifties; much warmer than at home in the San Francisco Bay Area!

So, for day two of New York Fashion Week, I decided to wear a winter into spring look for a busy day of shows. In the morning, through to mid-day, this spring maxi dress from Chico’s was perfect for the weather. I didn’t need a coat! Was this the twilight zone?? Why wasn’t it freezing?? That morning and afternoon, I attended Fashion Hong Kong followed by Nonie, without a coat. This dress garnered several compliments from other show guests, and was the perfect weight for the the high fifties temperatures.

When evening was getting close, temperatures fell to the forties, so I threw on my 1970s style faux fur coat over my dress, and switched up my handbag to evoke a vintage vibe with my overall look. This was a fun way to make this spring maxi dress transition from winter into spring. It is so versatile! I attended Chiara Boni le petite robe that evening which was perfect for the outfit. She had a vintage vibe on her runway, so my vintage look worked quite well.

Since the day was busy, I never actually had a chance to sit down for a meal! After Chiara Boni, I wore my spring Chico’s maxi dress styled for winter out to dinner at Pepolino’s. It’s a fabulous Italian restaurant close to Spring Studios where the shows were held. Every season I enjoy their risotto and pasta. It is a must-try next time you visit New York!

My fabulous friend Dawn from Fashion Should be Fun took these photos with my new camera. They came out really good!

Day one New York Fashion Week fall 2019 recap

noon by noor new york fashion week fall 2019

Noon by Noor fall 2019 NYFW runway

The first day of New York Fashion Week, I attended three amazing shows. Noon by Noor was filled with the perfect items we all need in our closet this fall 2019 season. The color palette was neutral, and also reflected the current fall 2019 color trends. My next show on day one, was Laurence & Chico. They are a really fun designer brand filled with playful designs, and avant-garde fashion. They have the fun items we all need to add to our closets when we need to amp our personal style. I finished the day at Badgley Mischka, which was a beautiful collection of party and evening attire. The fall line will round out our fall event season wardrobe quite nicely.

Day one was really all we need to make our closets complete!

Without further ado, here are my favorite looks from each collection, why I loved them, and why they would compliment your style this fall.

Noon by Noor was one of my favorite shows this season. Everything on the runway would be perfect in my closet-and yours! These are a few examples of the fabulous choices for fall 2019 on the Noon by Noor runway. I loved the white dress which would make a fabulous swimsuit cover-up for a fall or winter getaway somewhere warm. There were several black go-to looks on the Noon by Noor fall 2019 runway. I loved the stripe pieces which added dimension to the all-black ensembles. This camel poncho is nothing short of fabulous. I love the black details, and the drape is luxurious, flattering, and downright chic. You can see more of the fall 2019 runway collection by Noon by Noor online at their website, NoonByNoor.com.

My apologies for the photos-I was using a new camera for the first time at fashion week and, well, I tried!

I did better with my new camera at this show! Can you spot Miss Jay sitting front row in the second photo? Love!

Laurence & Chico really put on a fabulous show for fall 2019 at New York Fashion Week. The music evoked a club vibe, and the models put on a theatrical show as they pranced down the runway. It was so much fun! I fell in love with many of the jackets and coats, as well as the vintage vibe. The runway show theme took us to “Thai Thai Land.” There was a vintage vibe, and although the collection was playful, it did offer many structured looks which can easily be brought from the runway to the street. I can see myself wearing that brown tweed set pictured above, as well as that fabulous blue and pearl white coat. Love!

Badgley Mischka fall 2019 New York Fashion Week

OK, my pictures did not come out very good. I did get one good photo of a model from the back. I loved the details on her gown, and how the dress offered a print on the bottom, with classic black on top. The final walk from Badgley Mischka’s fall 2019 New York Fashion Week runway show was full of red dresses. If you need a red dress this fall, Badgley Mischka is your go-to designer! There were so many fabulous red dresses! I wish my photos came out better!

I fell in love with all the sparkling fabrics on the runway, and the chic, classic lines of the collection. The dresses were timeless. Badgley Mischka really created a fall 2019 collection for New York Fashion Week which can withstand the test of time, and stay in a woman’s closet for many years to come. This is an investment collection. I fell in love!

You can view the entire collection online at BadgleyMischka.com.

What do you think of the new fall 2019 collection from New York Fashion Week so far? Are you as excited for fall as I am?!

Thanks for stopping by-and stay tuned for continuing coverage from NYFW!

Inspired by Real Housewives

OK, so if you know me, or follow my insta-stories, you may have heard me talk about being a huge Real Housewives fan. Well. . .while I was putting outfits together for New York Fashion Week, I watched an episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta. Marlo and Nene went shopping with Eva for a wedding dress. Marlo, who has an enviable closet and great style, was wearing a black Balmain logo tee and she looked chic as ever. While logo handbags are played out, logo tee’s and clothing are still having a moment. So I decided to purchase a black Balmain tee and create an outfit around it for fashion week! Does that make me a superfan? haha

I wore my new Balmain tee with military green pants, my new Chloe boots-which are on major sale by the way, and this cozy Calvin Klein coat. It was an urban street style look which was quiet yet New York Fashion Week worthy. This is a look I will continue to wear at home too until our spring weather arrives. It’s cold in California this year! Brrrrrr! When spring hits, I will show you this tee again, and the pants, styled separately for spring. They will be spring staples in my closet!

My friend Laura from Have-Need-Want took these photos outside our hotel before we began our day of shows. Day one of New York Fashion Week was a fun day. I attended Noon by Noor, Laurence & Chico, and Badgley Mischka. Stay tuned for photos from those shows! You can see the final walks saved in my Instagram Story Highlights. They are saved in the highlight with Anna Wintor’s face as the cover photo. Trying to have a little chic fashion humor on there. haha

Do you watch the Real Housewives shows? Have you ever taken fashion inspiration from one or more of them?
