Emerson by Jackie Fraser-Swan spring/summer 2014. I was sitting in the last row for Emerson’s collection, so unfortunately my photos are not the best quality. What I tried to capture in these photos were the amazing prints and florals on the Emerson runway. I loved the floral prints. The florals were sophisticated and grown up; these were not your daughter’s flower prints! Emerson also showed black and white stripes on the runway; signaling a continuation of this trend as we move into 2014.

The entire collection was beautiful and romantic. I love the soft yet vivid colors in the collection as well as the mix of prints. There was also quite a bit of sheer detailing on the pieces; another trend we are seeing emerge from New York for spring 2014. Love!

I am in love with the purple and white floral dress shown in the blurry photo above. Again, my apologies for the poor quality. This was definitely my favorite look on the Emerson spring/summer 2014 runway at New York Fashion Week.

I included the press video from Emerson’s spring/summer 2014 runway show at New York Fashion Week below. What is your favorite look from the runway?

New York Fashion Week takes a lot of energy. The first show usually starts at 9am with the last show beginning at 9pm. When I am on the go, I prefer to keep my look simple and fuss-free. This clean look felt perfect on September 7, 2013. The pieces were soft and comfortable.

I loved how Twisted Silver’s new “Grace” necklace brought out the colors in the skirt and made the otherwise simple outfit look finished. The new “Grace” necklace is timeless and offers layers of brass and copper which are  statement-making. Love it! The necklace is priced at $60 and can be found online atTwisted-Silver.com. If you use coupon code INSIDERS you will save 15% off your purchase!

Of course the high heels did not stay on all day. I brought a pair of flats which I slipped on after lunch. Fashion week can be hard on your feet! What are your favorite shoes for days when you need to walk or stand a lot?

Vivienne Tam is hands-down one of my favorite designers. I wore one of her dresses to my wedding rehearsal dinner! When I found I had a seat in the second row at her spring/summer 2014 runway show at New York Fashion Week I was ecstatic! I could see the models just before they went on the runway which enabled me to see the fabric up close.

Vivienne Tam’s entire spring/summer 2014 collection was divine. I loved the playful prints and vivid colors. The greens and blues mixed together caught my eye! You can see my favorite color story from the collection in the final walk photo above. I cannot wait for Vivienne Tam’s spring/summer 2014 collection to hit store shelves. I NEED many of her pieces!

Below is a press video from Vivienne Tam’s spring/summer 2014 runway at Mercedes Benz, New York Fashion Week. What is your favorite part of the collection?
