So we already know who completely missed the punk memo last night, but we have to discuss those who tried…but failed. Not saying all of these ladies are on the worst dressed list, but their attempt at punk was so close…yet so far.
Beyonce in Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci
After I found this photo on Style.com during New York Fashion Week, I was immediately intrigued by this girl. Rainbow hair, a bright outfit…I definitely appreciate her style. Then I did a little research and found out who this mysterious explosion of color is…
A trend I’ve come across for Spring 2012 is the sheer skirt. However, these aren’t any ordinary sheer skirts; these are more of an illusion…it’s the new sheer skirt. The look of a short dress and a long sheer skirt with intricate detailing at the hem, these are definitely show stopping pieces.

What do you think of this trend for Spring ’12? Do you think it will translate to the street or will it just be something we see on the red carpet? Let me know in the comments section below!
Now that Fashion Week is over in New York, we will now move across the pond to London. But before that happens, I wanted to pick out my top 10 favorite looks from New York Fashion Week. I hope to be either wearing these next Spring or seeing these on the red carpet come awards season. We’ll see!
Alexander Wang
I’m a huge Alexander Wang fan but this season wasn’t my favorite. However, I love how sporty yet chic this look is and the shapes on the top really make the outfit.
Christian Siriano
This was actually one of my favorite Siriano collections to date. I love how he makes ball gowns but yet still finds a way to casualize his looks. I’m so thrilled chartreuse is in for Spring ’12…I am definitely looking forward to wearing it!
Marchesa
It’s like liquid Marchesa pewter just melted over her body. This is so stunning and I really hope someone wears it to the Oscars this year!
Jason Wu
If I had to wear a gown, this is what it would be. (duh…neon)
Oscar de la Renta
I’m not sure who would really wear a cropped sweater with an enormous skirt but I’m really hope someone pulls this off on the red carpet.
3.1 Phillip Lim
You know I love me some neon but I’m actually really into the pastel hues for Spring ’12. Phillip Lim did it beautifully and he completely captured my attention after seeing this first look.
Prabal Gurung
Of all the Spring ’12 collections, I’d have to say Prabal Gurung was my favorite. The details, the colors, the silhouettes…it was all incredible. I love how this purple “drips down” into the skirt. I just want to wear it now!
Rag & Bone
The jacket absolutely makes this look. It’s a great color, amazing fit, and the white trim is striking but not overpowering. And of course…I love the pop of orange.
Proenza Schouler
It’s Proenza…and I’ll leave it at that.
Rodarte
There are so many elements of this look that intrigue me. From the blue/purple metallics to the sheer portion of the skirt…it’s just jaw dropping gorgeous. Another one I hope to see on the red carpet!

When I first heard about the CFDA + eBay Fashion “You Can’t Fake Fashion” campaign, I was immediately interested. I love the fact that designers have decided to participate and partner up with eBay to promote the importance of authenticity, especially when it comes to shopping on eBay.
So when I found out that 50 designers created unique one-of-a-kind totes that reflected their design aesthetic for this campaign, I knew I had to own one. So thankfully, I got one before they all sold out…and I’m happy to say that I’m now the proud owner of the Rodarte “You Can’t Fake Fashion” limited edition tote.
