New York Fashion Week Street Style

We're heading into the last leg of New York Fashion Week and it's time to recap one of the best bi-products of fashion shows, and that's street style. The weather has been delightful in New York, which always bodes well for the fashion pack. Nothing puts a damper on a good outfit more than rain, am I right?

The funny thing about the New York spring shows is that they fall between seasons, so you never know what you're going to see on the streets. In an ideal world, the weather will be cool enough for the ladies to break out looks seen at the Fall 2014 shows.

These are my top street style looks so far:

NYFW Spring 2015 Top Looks: Part Five

The shows from yesterday and today gave me a few surprises from designers not even on my radar and lots of favorites from my go-to fashion loves. Per usual, I loved what I saw from Carolina Herrera, Rosie Assoulin, Zac Posen and Diane von Furstenberg.

I found out just this evening that Porsche has a fashion line! The car company? Why? When? Who? It turns out that I was most pleasantly surprised by Juergen Gessler collection. Porsche Design is just as sleek and stylish as it's cousin, the Porsche car. I picked a few of my favorite looks, but head over to Style.com and view the entire collection.

I also discovered Barbara Tfank today, and damn am I glad I did. Her designs are classic and elegant, and made with the most beautiful fabric. She designs clothes that take women back to a time when dressing well really meant something, which I feel is something so many women are missing today. Bravo Barbara!

These are my top looks from the past two days:

NYFW Spring 2015 Top Looks: Part Four

There were some fantastic shows yesterday but Christian Siriano and Altuzarra were out ahead of the rest of the fashion pack. Christian Siriano's collection was classy lady with a hint of retro glamour and I absolutely loved it. Joseph Altuzarra designed a collection that was both demure and sexy and is sure to give women a whole new appreciation for gingham and stripes.

These are my top looks from yesterday's shows:

Prabul Gurung


Jill Stuart

NYFW Spring 2015 Top Looks: Part Three

The shows are starting to ramp-up as we head into the second half of New York Fashion Week.  Per usual, classic pastel pinks, blues and cream are out in full force but there has also been a nice mix of rich yellows, oranges and greens along with my perennial favorite, which is black. These are my top looks from Friday's shows.

NYFW Spring 2015 Top Looks: Part Two

Day three already?! Fashion Week has been flying for me, but maybe that's just because I've been crazy busy at work this week. The Spring 2015 shows have been a welcome distraction after a long day. 

Before I get to my top looks, I want to take a moment to discuss the revamp of everyone's favorite fashion week hub, Style.com. Yesterday they revealed their new website and, I must say, it's such an upgrade to their previous one. The Fashion Shows section is much better organized than it was previously, with various ways/options to organize all off the reviews and photos, which is key when you're trying to ensure you don't miss anything. If you haven't visited Style.com before, I highly recommend it, particularly for the Fashion Week coverage.

OK, on to my Day Three top picks:

Get the Look: Casual Cozy for Fall

As we transition into cooler weather, a cozy knit sweater is the perfect option when it's not quite cold enough for a jacket. This look, from the lovely Kat Tanita, is from last January but it's a great outfit option for a fall weekend.

If you haven't heard about Kat's blog, With Love From Kat, I highly recommend it. It's a regular read of mine and I so enjoy her outfit posts.
