3 Lessons Diane von Furstenberg Taught Me

My third day under the tents had to be one of the most rewarding days of my entire life. I guess for the past few days I've been trying to find ways to truly sum up my sentiments in a blog post. But words can't express how completely honored I was on that day, to be in the Theatre at Lincoln Centre for the Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2012 runway show. It was an absolute dream come true, and I'll explain why...

Under The Tents: NYFW Day 3

On day three under the NYFW tents, I had the experience of a lifetime. If you follow me on Twitter, you probably heard me gagging about it the entire day. I finally got a chance to experience first-hand a DVF collection viewing. As one of my top three favorite designers, words can't express how amazing this was for me. I mean, I was geeked! I'm bubbling over with excitement just thinking about it, but let's start from the top of the day.

LoveBrownSugar's Fashion's Night Out Crawl

Hey lovelies! Sorry for the week long hiatus, but I've been gearing up for New York Fashion Week and have been swamped with to-dos before the craziness commences! I'm checking in with you all because tomorrow night myself and a few other amazing bloggers (like Danielle of Style & Beauty Doctor, Jessica & Andrea of Glamazons Blog, Blake von D & more!) will be running around NYC for Fashion's Night Out and we want YOU guys to join us!

Join LoveBrownSugar & friends for FNO drinks, party-hopping & shopping on September 8th, 2011 from 6pm-9pm for our 1st Annual Fashion's Night Out Blogger Crawl! For those of you who remember my FNO 2010 crawl, you know that we get DOWN. Last year's was loads of fun. Don't believe me? Check the "Kickin' It" post HERE!

Though each blogger has their own itinerary, we'll be aiming to meet up at central locations at every hour during the evening. See below for the LoveBrownSugar itinerary:

Fashion Review: 2011 Met Gala (Couples Edition)

Who doesn't love a fab duo? The great thing about the Met Gala is that it's pretty easy for stars to find a partner-in-crime for the anticipated fete. Most celebs head to the gala with their favorite designer in tow. Others (a la Queen Bey) opt to bring along their superstar hubby. Either way, nothing warms my heart more than a stunning couple on the red carpet.

Jay-Z and Beyonce

Beyonce and Jay-Z are definitely on my "Best Dressed Couple" list. They both looked stunning and uber glamorous. Jay- Z dressed to the tee in his white Tom Ford tuxedo and Beyonce in her Pucci gown. Power couple indeed.

Karl Lagerfeld & Blake Lively

Chanel muse Blake Lively sported a grecian-style Chanel gown in a muted gray. Her soft waves and neutral makeup completed the fresh look. And of course Karl was dressed in his usual, all black and motorcycle gloves. Has anyone ever seen his real hands?

Diane von Furstenberg & Barry Diller

I adore DVF. She's such a classy lady. Always sophisticated and always dressed appropriately for someone of her status. Love it.

Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson

I swooned when I saw Diane Kruger in this jaw-dropping Jason Wu frock. I'm in love with the intricate beading u top and the seductive slit takes it to a whole new level.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony

JLo rocked the red carpet in a deep fuschia Gucci gown with floral detailing around the shoulder. I thought this was a great look for a gala focused on the art of attire.

Amar'e Stoudemire and Rachel Roy

How cute are Amar'e Stoudemire and Rachel Roy together? They both look classic but stunning. Can't wait for their clothing line collabo to kick off in September.

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats

I'm normally not a fan of brown dresses but Alicia Keys manages to pull off this Givenchy couture look flawlessly. My only wish is that she topped off the look with a bright red lip. Swizz looks cool too.

Tory Burch and Kanye West

How cute are these two on the red carpet? Kanye West donned a Tory Burch suit for the occasion. I heard through the grapevine, Tory Burch is a major Kanye stan.

Zoe Saldana and Francisco Costa

The canary yellow looks really great against Zoe's skin. I wish there was a bit more to the design, but honestly you could throw a potato sack on this girl and she'd look good.

What do you think of the couples? Any faves?
