Who knew a fun way to kill time at Fashion Week was to snap pictures of fashionistas' handbags? I am more of a shoe girl, but fabulous bags were just dangling left and right and I had to give you a peek at the bags of New York Fashion Week. The most popular were Goyard, Marni, Mulberry, Prada, Chanel and, my personal favorite, Yves Saint Laurent. This is a good mix of It bags and classics; it Read more

Some New York designers channeled their dark side for Fall. I wonder if this has anything to do with the dark get ups of fashion influencers Kate Moss and the Olsens. Perhaps. The cool touch of model/stylist/muse Erin Wasson at Alexander Wang (left) was certainly evident. This may not be the most uplifting raiment for dark and stormy days, but the fact of the matter is: On such days, don't we all Read more

Velvet is back, in a major way. The rich, heavy, but super soft fabric that conjures up images of Medieval Times, holiday dresses when I was five and the early '90s, has taken a turn for the better. As long as crushed velvet stays at bay, today's velvet evokes romance and richness; such was the case at Ralph Lauren (left). Nolens volens: Are you ready to be a velveteen fashionista? Read more

I have always been drawn to exotic models (European mix white girl right here). However, my favorite model of all time is Canadian, with a bit of Italian, Linda Evangelista, but really, she's the best. With today's girls, not only is there not enough diversity but obscure looking blondes rule the runway. Whatever the reason may be, my eye goes to the exotic, interesting and girls who have Read more

Sophistication has been turned up a notch for Fall. Which point in American time was known for fur stoles, cinched waists, buttoned up blouses and skirt dressing? The conservative '50s to the early '60s. Of course, the '60s soon took a turn to rebellion, but leading up to that ladies were tucked in and tame. Or so they tried to be. This style and thinking is the basis for the hit show Mad Men Read more

The trends for Fall are starting to reveal themselves and one thing is for sure: It's all about sleeves. Drama has taken form on the arms, where designers are offering cropped, voluminous, lantern, folded and everything in between. Some of these are fun for day and some, like the intricate ones at Marchesa (left), are ideal for night. Day and night, night and day, it's all about sleeves! Read more

Nothing makes an outfit pop like a splash of color, and the designers showing at this year's fall Fashion Week in New York are taking that to the extreme.

Officially, New York Fashion Week kicked off last Friday, and since then, it's been a never-ending blur of parties, awards ceremonies, fashion shows, and more parties.
