Day one New York Fashion Week fall 2019 recap

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?

Color trends for fall 2019 from New York Fashion Week

New York Fashion Week fall 2019 is underway! We are slightly more than half-way through the week as I write this. The fall/winter 2019/20 runways are offering us new trends to look forward to in the next cold weather season. Of course, we are still trying to finish THIS cold weather season! I think everyone around the country can agree-we have had quite the cold weather season this year! Brrr!

Speaking of fashion trends, my favorite trends to follow are color trends. When you know the color trends of an upcoming season ahead of time, it helps you to shop your closet for that season, and see which colors you need to add to your wardrobe in order to create the perfect fall color palette. Love that!

Pantone has released their top twelve colors used by designers for their fall 2019 collections in New York. In addition to the top twelve colors, the top four neutral colors are pushing the envelope as being classified as, shall we say, “neutrals.”

Brown is the new black, and orange tones are the new shades of pink. This upcoming fall 2019 season, look for a 1970’s color palette on modern silhouettes. Designers took inspiration from the 1940’s, through to the new millennium, while using a brown/orange/red/white/blue mix of colors in medium-dark hues for the fall season.

Basic black, which is just as chic as ever, was all over the runway. But, alternate neutral hues such as vanilla, light grey, and deep navy, competed with everyone’s go-to wardrobe color (a-hem, black); adding a fresh breath of color into our fall closets. Winter white is a thing! Hope you weren’t still clinging to that silly “can’t wear white after labor day” thing.
