New York Fashion Week FW12: Prabal Gurung, Diane von Furstenberg, Jason Wu

By -
Who: Prabal Gurung
What it made us think of: A superhero who is being tempted by evil but eventually chooses to use her powers for good.
What we liked: Everything.
Who: Diane von Furstenberg
What it made us think of: It was classic DvF, but this time the designer got playful with puzzle prints, clocks, lips and hands.
What we liked: The fun prints, the quirky clutches, classic dresses, bright colors
What we didn't: Baggy at the hips jumpsuits, sporty details on otherwise classic coats
Who: Jason Wu
What it made us think of: The Asian and military influences reminded me of a Modern Mulan.
What we liked: beautiful brocades (mixed with sporty quilting), buttons, tassel earrings, belts
What we didn't: Furry arms, costume-y hats

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?

Sweet Sleep Bra

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.
