Pamella Roland showed her fall/winter 2016 collection at New York Fashion Week on February 12, 2016 at Pier 59 Studios. I had the opportunity to go backstage before the show and check out the fabulous hairstyles being created by Ted Gibson using L’Oreal Professionnel hair care products. The hairstyles were sleek, sophisticated, and modern. Loved them!

The hairstyles were designed in line with Pamella Roland’s inspiration for her fall 2016 runway collection. In order to achieve this, Ted Gibson, Celebrity Stylist and Owner of Ted Gibson Salon stated: “This season we were inspired by modern architecture and the city of Tokyo. We wanted the models to look as if they had just traveled through Japan.”

I am in love with this timeless yet modern hairstyle; and it looked amazing with Pamella Roland’s fall 2016 collection! I loved being able to see the process from start to finish when I was backstage with L’Oreal Professionnel at Pamella Roland. This is an easy hairstyle to replicate in five easy steps using L’Oreal products.

Here is how you can get the Pamella Roland runway hairstyle at home! All you need to do is buy a fabulous headband, such as this one online here.

STEP 1: Before styling, slip headband on model (or yourself) and let it rest around the neck until use.

STEP 2: Use L’Oreal Professionnel Volume Envy extra mousse to dampen hair and begin to brush hair back into ponytail. Ponytail should sit on the occipital. Use bungee to secure.

STEP 3: Please headband on the head.

STEP 4: Apply L’Oreal Professionnel Volume Envy extra mousse to the tail of the ponytail and wrap hair into a bun. Secure with pins.

STEP 5: Complete style using L’Oreal Professionnel Lumi Controle wax and L’Oreal Professional Infinium 3 hairspray to control and polish hair.

New York Fashion Week winter style

Day Two New York Fashion Week: Hat: Wildfox / Sunglasses: Chanel / Earrings: Kendra Scott / Lipstick: Chanel Mighty / Coat: TopShop (on major sale!) / Scarf: Banana Republic (old, similar here) / Leggings: Hue / Gloves: Brian Atwood for Target (old, also love these-they look so fun!) / Handbag: Givenchy / Shoes: Rag & Bone (sold out, also love this pair)

It has been cold here in New York for fashion week! The lows have been single digits, and on Friday, the highs were in the 20’s. So to combat the cold, and display my winter style, I wore this cozy TopShop coat to stay warm. It worked like a charm!

This coat has been the perfect alternative to a basic black coat; I don’t event wear my black coat anymore! I love the faux fur detail, it really adds warmth, and texture to the coat. Can you believe this coat is under $200, and it is currently on major sale! I was so happy when I bought it on sale, it was like striking oil!

To give my winter style a pop of spring, I paired my coat with spring 2016 earrings, and my favorite cobalt scarf for a pop of bright, sunny weather color. I felt like it brought a little cheer to an otherwise cold, and dreary day!

Day two of New York Fashion Week was jam-packed with shows! My first show was Zimmermann at noon. It was so amazing! I loved all the details; stay tuned for my write-up on the show! After Zimmermann, Laura from Have Need Want and I hopped in an Uber and sped off to Issosy London, a children’s brand. Then we were off to meet L’Oreal backstage for the Pamella Roland show. The hairstyles were amazing! I can’t wait to show you how to get the runway look at home!

The day continued with O’2nd, Cromat, Nika Tang, Francesca Liberatore, and Demoo Parkchoonmoo. The shows were so amazing, stay tuned for my recaps on these shows!

Finally, at 945pm, after freezing in the cold all day, dealing with a dead iPhone battery, a dead iPhone backup battery, and no food, Laura and I found a fabulous restaurant named Westville. It had the most amazing farm to table menu with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. It was the perfect dinner after a full day on our feet!

This version of my winter style proved to be comfortable, and warm, on a very cold, and busy day! If you are looking for a comfortable coat to wear now, and for next year, this is a great option! It is on sale, and in my opinion, it is really cute! You can find this cozy coat on sale here.

Stay tuned for more New York Fashion Week winter style, runway coverage, and behind the scenes posts!

Marcel Ostertag showed his fall/winter 2016 collection at New York Fashion Week on February 11, 2016 at the Skylight Clarkson. The fall 2016 collection, took it’s inspiration from a common weather trait of the autumn season; rain.

The “rain” theme was apparent throughout the show. Marcel Ostertag used the rain theme on his sweaters which featured large raindrops. There were also rain slicker plastic inserts blocked into many of the skirts on the runway. This gave “rain” an entire new imagine; one that is cool, rather than wet. Love that!

Marcel Ostertag used texture and fabric blocking throughout his collection, using fabrics on skirts and dresses which unexpected, and fresh. The mix of texture on many of the skirts added a sophisticated yet playful vibe which was a fresh take on standards skirts; and rain gear.

The color palate, which was mainly light blue, grey, navy, and burgundy, evoked a fall feeling of grey skies, light blue rain water, evening sky navy, and burgundy leaves. The colors were cohesive with the theme, and helped complete the collection. Even the sequins were arranged like rain drops, which danced as the models moved down the runway.

I am in love with the trench coats, everything blue, and the fabulous long burgundy gown pictured above. Which pieces are your favorite from the collection?
