5 Intriguing Fall 2012 Inspirations from New York Designers

Yesterday on The Cut, I was very intrigued by the Fashion Week Preview: 99 Designers Reveal Their Fall 2012 Inspirations story. However, there were 5 designers and their inspiration that really stuck out to me. Now more than ever, I’m looking forward to these Fall 2012 collections. See who these designers are and what they were inspired by for their latest collection.

Four Seasons Valentine’s Day Giveaway

Personally, I’m not the biggest fan of Valentine’s Day (except for the fact that it’s an excuse to overdose on chocolate). However, if it involves relaxing and a vacation…I’m in. So when I heard the Four Seasons is giving away $2500 gift card to one of their Facebook fans, I just had to share…especially after my amazing experience at their SPArty.

The Four Seasons recently launched a new Facebook application that lets fans dip into a Four Seasons “love bucket” for romance tips and the chance to win a Four Seasons Gift Card. All you have to do is “like” Four Seasons on Facebook, tell them who you’d want to take on the trip, where you’d like to go and what you want to do there. I advise being creative…they’re not going to giveaway $2500 to just anyone.

Hope you win! 🙂

Spring 2012 Trend: Get Pink

I got a great little package this week from Neiman Marcus with an amazing neon Spring 2012 trend book. Not only is the cover my ideal color but the first Spring trend I opened to is…PINK.

I was pretty inspired by the vibrant pink collage, so I thought I’d make my own and share my favorite pink finds from around the web. The best part is, almost all these pieces can be worn NOW. Let’s be honest, nothing’s better than a pop of color during the drab winter. And although pastels are also a huge trend for Spring ’12, I’m loving the combination of light and bright colors in the same outfit. Something I’ll be experimenting with…coming soon 🙂
