New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 2011

Who: Rodarte
What it made us think of: An artsy label gracefully transitions to adulthood.
What we liked: autumnal pallet for spring, gold lipstick, blue china print, the natural waist, carved heels
What we didn't: crop tops, the materials looks too heavy for the season
Who: Altuzarra
What it made us think of: Give the models F-cups and I think I've seen these clothes in video games.
What we liked: jolts of color against a neutral backdrop, snake trim added personality
What we didn't: odd lines, something I will call "breast hats", white satinWho: 3.1 Philip Lim
What it made us think of: Layers and lines and textures in muted tones are my maximal take on minimalism.
What we liked: soft browns and pops of blue, lacy cut-outs shorts, grandpa sweaters, tassel belts, loose pants, sheer layers in perfect proportion
What we didn't: The shoes

The shoes are very interesting! But I love all the colors and mixing and matching of patterns and textures!

I LOVE the Rodarte shoes, but I don't quite get the gold lipsticks...or the nude lipstick trend...cuz that's what my lips look like when I'm sick or anemic.

what do you like about the gold lipstick? do you like the color? or that it compliment your skin tone maybe? or that it fit with the clothe?

and if you'd be so kind, some enlightenment on the nude lip trend would be appreciated

Fanya, I hate the nude lip trend, (HATE!) so I'm just as in the dark. Certain golds can look good on certain skin, but I'm more of a copper fan.

Retro Shoes

By -

I love vintage shoes, but between the heavy wear and narrow fit, I have to indulge my wants with fabulous reproductions. Mary Janes, t-straps, peep toes, low heels. If it looks like it's from the 20s-50s, I'm there! I like to wear them with Victorian jewelry and funky outfit. How do you wear retro heels?

Metallic Shoes

Over a couple of fabulous martinis, becca and I were discussing how many people comment on our metallic shoes. (She has some gold heeled Frye booties and I have low heeled oxfords.) It's like they've never thought of gold or silver as belonging anywhere but on jewelry or a New Year's Eve dress. Not only do they snazz up an everyday jeans and tunic, but they can be used as party shoes too. (Yes, I would wear my oxfords to a party. I'm funky like that.) As you can see from my laments of craving below, metallics are my perfect shoe color.Top: silver cutout wedge, Jeffrey Campbell at Urban Outfitters $128 (Want!)
disc flat, Enzo Angiolini "Zella" on Endless $88.95
gold pump, Shellys of London at Mod Cloth $94.99
Bottom: pewter unicorn heels, Jeffrey Campbell "Michelle" at Nordstrom $119.95 (Still want!)
silver point toe flat, Cindy Says "Chill" on Endless $124.93 (Want!)
silver twist sandals copied from McQueen, N.Y.L.A. "Stern" on Endles…

Sweet Sleep Bra

By -

I've been waiting Anthropologie's ruffled bra and panty set to go on sale. What it lacks in the sex appeal of Anya's retro ensemble, it makes up for in cute ribbons and ruffles. The set is available in cream and pink, rose and black, or grey and black, but I prefer the dark of the latter to offset the sweetness of the look. The bra was $58, which is silly for a cotton, wireless sleep bra, but the price has dropped to $29.95. That's at least worth thinking about. $30 for panties, however, is still laughable.
