It’s taken copious amounts of coffee and some very late nights glued to my laptop, but I’m finally starting to work my way through all the finery from New York Fashion Week. (A little late to the party, I know.) I’ll be sharing some of my favorites from NYFW so you can revel in the delicious new designs right along with me.
My first NYFW post should come as no surprise considering my last post was about the same designer and collection: J.Crew Fall 2012. The Manolo Blahnik collab wasn’t the only fabulous thing to emerge from J.Crew’s new fall collection: staples like pretty pencil skirts, patterned sweaters, and slim trousers were shown in fresh mint, perky pink, sleek snakeskin, stripes, and rich jewel tones. Plus, there was some seriously cool arm candy added to the mix.
Minty Fresh
Whether a little (zig-zag top, pointy-toe pumps) or a lot (turtleneck sweater + pencil skirt combo), mint green is a refreshing alternative to fall’s more traditional forest and olive green hues.
Pencil It In
From textured stripes to sleek snakeskin, a statement-making pencil skirt will score you an A+ with the fashion set next fall. (Note the fantastic multi-hued clutch on the right!)
Pretty In Pink
Pink isn’t just for spring and summer fashion–a slim suit, warm coat, or patterned pants in the perky hue are sure to cheer you up (and those around you) on the drabbest of drab days.
Top to Bottom
Head-to-toe prints can be hard to pull off, but these two ensembles look sleek and sexy, not silly.
Jewels Rule
Rich, saturated jewel tones–sapphire blue, emerald green, ruby red–look all the more luxe in the form of high-shine slim-cut trousers. (Again, note the fantastic handbags!)
Jenna Lyons, I love you.
