Day one of New York Fashion Week was an extremely busy day for me. I had back to back shows throughout the day starting at 9am, and ending at 9pm. I saw Nicholas K, Concept Korea, Supima, Fashion Palette, Michael Costello, Desigual, Marissa Webb, Cynthia Rowley, and The Art Institutes. Whew!

Since I knew ahead of time how busy my schedule would be, I planned on wearing this comfortable jumpsuit. It is a fall item, yet it is cool enough to wear in ninety degree weather with humidity. An oh, the humidity! It was brutal, very, very, brutal.

Normally for New York Fashion Week in September, I wear cute high heels. With all the standing in line at fashion week, walking to and from shows, and rushing from show to show, my feet get beat up. I decided to go a different route this season and wear comfortable booties with socks for extra padding. This was a great plan! These booties are super comfortable, and they allowed me to get though the day without killing my feet. Happy feet = happy me. Love that!

If you are looking for a go-to outfit this fall which is comfortable and perfect for busy days, this jumpsuit and booties is it! You can find the jumpsuit online here, and these super comfortable booties are online here. It is easy to add color to this outfit, or play up the black with white stitching like I did by pairing similar accessories.

Stay tuned! I have tons of coverage from New York Fashion Week coming up on my social  media channels, and here on the blog. Spring 2017 is looking fabulous, and I hope you will love it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Supima held their spring 2017 design challenge at New York Fashion Week on September 8, 2016 at the Skylight Clarkson in New York. Supima’s contest featured six emerging designers from around the United States who created their designs from raw, Supima cotton materials. It was incredible!

The emerging designers were Duston Jasso, Jiyeon Lee, Kara Michelle Kroeger, Jacob Blau, Jaqueline Zeyi Chen, and Jeffrey Taylor. The celebrity judges included Kyle Anderson, Moti Ankari, Ann Caruso, Malina Gilchrist, Avril Graham, Carmen Lilly, Julia Loomis, Federica Marchionni, Alicia Quarles, Cameron Silver, Mary Alice Stephenson, Lilliana Vasquez, and Katherine Zarella. The designer mentor was none other than the fabulous Bibhu Mohapatra. Love him!

I loved everything on the runway. It was amazing how the designers took raw Supima materials, and transformed them into stunning evening attire. The prints, texture, and silhouettes were beyond amazing. My favorite designs were from Jeffrey Taylor, and Jacob Blau. Jeffrey Taylor’s dresses were wearable, timeless, and simply perfect. Jacob Blau pushed the envelope and showed edgy designs which questioned what one wears for evening events. I am obsessed with his plaid coat featured in the photos above. Love!

Jeffrey Taylor from the Savannah College of Art and Design won the competition. Every single one of his pieces were perfect. I hope we can see his designs in stores such as Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue someday! I would buy them in a heartbeat!

I am in New York for fashion week! That’s right! Despite the fact that we are still enjoying summer 2016, designers are sending their spring/summer 2017 designs down the runways in New York starting today.

This week I am attending New York Fashion Week spring 2017 in order to share with you what emerging designers, boutique designers, avante-garde designers, mainstream brands, and iconic designers are showing for the next warm weather season. I will be attending approximately twenty-five shows this week in order to spot the trends you need to know about for spring 2017, right now before fall even starts! Don’t ‘cha love that!

Fall 2016 was all about 1970s inspiration, and splashes of vintage inspiration from the 1960s and 1990s. What will spring 2017 bring? It seems as though the boho-chic, 1970s styles have been on the runways now for several seasons. Will spring continue this trend, or has it run it’s course, moving designers into a more structured world?

The past few seasons have been all about embellishments, patterns, and bold mixes. Will designers continue this train of thought, or will they move more into a minimalist realm?

These questions and more will be answered this week as designers show us what we will be coveting for the spring 2017 season! Be sure to follow me on Instagram, Twitter, and/or Facebook in order to see what is on the spring 2017 runways in New York at fashion week!
