New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 2011

By -
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.

Read our latest post on Plus Size Prom Dresses!

Prom Season is here and if you're beyond the prom age, prom season and post prom season is a good time to shop for any upcoming formal events. Shopping outside of the juniors prom sections and stores may help you find a dress that can live beyond prom or anyone too old to attend prom.


During my search I found that Nordstrom had the best selection of plus size evening dresses. They actually have one of the best evening dress selections no matter what your size. The dresses range from elegant to fun and sweet to sassy.

New York Fashion Week Favorites So Far

Thank you 3.1 Philip Lim! You've appeased my co-desires for wearability and an edge of funk. Love the ruffled sequin tops. Love the layered zips. Love the ruffled shoes. The shoes!!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Anna Sui was fabulous Anna Sui with all the prints and colors and tribal influences. Of course, I'm biased in favor of anything that looks like a hippie-gypsy-pirate. Happy! Happy! Again, the shoes are amazing. Kudos to her also for sending out happy models, because smiling should never be out of fashion.Vera Wang, always one of my favorites, was just as sleek, romantic and modern as I would hope. I always like her neutral palette with occasional splashes of color. She used lots of sheer fabrics in this collection, but it's more ethereal than daring. The shiny details also keep things exciting.
