QVC’s Live from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Runway Show

This weekend, I attended the QVC runway show and after party in NYC. I have been so impressed with the branding initiatives QVC has implemented within the last few years so I was very excited for this event. The runway show displayed various looks from several QVC designers, with a front row including Matthew Settle and Kelly Rutherford (AKA Rufus and Lilly) along with AnnaLynne McCord.

The after party was cool because we got to watch live broadcasts of Heidi Klum, Isaac Mizrahi and the Kardashian’s collections. I had a really great time and I can’t wait to share with you more New York Fashion Week updates!

Honor Spring 2012 at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week

Yesterday I attended the Honor Spring 2012 show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. This collection had a more toned down Marylin Monroe ’50s vibe to it. This is not only because of the dresses, but mostly because when every girl walked up to the runway for their first pose, a huge gust of wind blew up their dress (in a tasteful way of course). This collection heavily consisted of gorgeous pastels in flowy silhouettes, with a few structured looks here and there. I loved the gold collars on the girls. It was an interesting touch to such a “light” collection.

My photos weren’t great so I included a few of my own plus my favorite looks taken from Fashionologie.

Pink Tartan Spring 2012 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

I attended my first Spring 2012 presentation at Lincoln Center today…Pink Tartan. The girls were gorgeous, especially the 70s glam hair. The collection had a sexy yet classy glamorous retro vibe. With sequin shifts, drop-waist dresses, and a few monochromatic looks, this was a great collection with pieces every girl can incorporate into their wardrobe. I also loved the pops of color [obviously] including fuschia, burnt orange and various shades of blue.

Sorry my blogging has been a little MIA in the last few days…between the Topshop shopping preview, the Topshop dinner, Fashion’s Night Out and now leaving today for New York Fashion Week, my life has been a little crazy. But I just wanted to update you on the events I attended this week, and stay tuned for Fashion Week coverage [hopefully] starting tomorrow!
