Jenny Packham Spring 2012 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

Yesterday I attended the Jenny Packham Spring 2012 show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Known for her red carpet ready gowns, Jenny Packham really knows how to make beautiful dresses that fit the body well. This was one of the many collections for Spring 2012 that heavily used pastels (in hues of lemon, tangerine, seafoam green, powder blue and coral). Pastels are perfect for these “fairy like” dresses Jenny designs, along with intricate beading, feminine ruffles and her signature high slits. And although mostly pastel, she did throw in a few bright pops of color in cherry red and turquoise blue to get that surprise factor throughout the collection.

An early show (9am) it’s not easy to get those seats filled, but Mandy Moore decided not to go all diva on us and she was very prompt to the show, wearing a really cool sequin jacket that was perfect for 9am.

Overall it was a gorgeous collection (one I was really looking forward to) and I’m sure we’ll be seeing plenty of these dresses come awards season this Fall!

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!

Fashion Week Cocktails at the Empire Hotel

Fashion Week in New York is approaching fast and with all of the craziness that goes on in NYC during this time, everyone can always use a cocktail at the end of the day right?

Well thanks to the Empire Hotel, you can sip on the most fashionable drinks throughout the month of September! These specialty cocktails were created in honor of the one year anniversary of Fashion Week’s new home at Lincoln Center. This year The Empire Hotel has partnered with Moises de la Renta (son of the fabulous, Oscar de la Renta) to custom design a special occasion signature dress that will be worn by the hotel’s “Fashion Week Ambassadors.” There’s even cocktail for Moises and his design called, “Moises’ Fashion Fix!”

Drink up! Because when it comes to fashion week…you’re gonna need it.
