Under The Tents: NYFW Day 4

Day 4 under the tents was one of my faves. I got a chance to see some of the best collections of the season that day. Starting from the top, here's what went down:

Tales of Twitpics Past: NYFW SP '11

As the month comes to a close and the last few traces of NYFW nostalgia fade away, I'll take these fleeeting hours of September to reminisce on the good times I had. From interviewing celebs, to backstage laughs, blogger-to-blogger convos and runway shows, this season is truly one I'll never forget...

1. Survivial Kit: My Canon Digital Camera, Fiji water, and my show invites in hand. 2. Front Row Celebs: Kelly Rowland and Ashlee Simpson share a laugh. 3. Backstage Access: Stylist Kanayo Ebi and I backstage at Custo Barcelona. 4. Designer Love: Solange Knowles embraces Max Azria after the show. 5. Celebrity Street Chic: One of my style icons Tracie Ellis Ross in Soho during Fashion's Night Out. 6. Blog Love: Misha of TheFabChick and I share an obsession with the same street vendor. 7. Printed Bliss: Warmed my heart to get a few paper invites this season. 8. FNO Friends: Can't even begin to explain how much fun FNO2010 was. 9. Goodie Grabs: Betsey Johnson's goodie bag was my fave. I loved them more because she gave one to everybody, not just front row! 10. Bomb Buddies: Finally met Claire of The Fashion Bomb and she's super sweet and stylish of course. 11. The Socialite: I must have bumped into Olivia Palermo about four times throughout the week. I kinda felt like a socialite, kinda. 12. Runway to Reality. I guess I never really thought I'd ever sit this close. But all things are possible, just believe.

LBS Runway Report: Monique Lhuillier, Herve Leger, Betsey Johnson

My last few days at Mercedes-Benz Fashion week saw a mixture of different trends from the high-end and always body conscious cocktail dresses at Herve Leger to the quirky downtown rocker looks at Betsey Johnson. One thing is for sure, these next few designers had the most exciting shows, for me, of the entire week...

Herve Leger, Spring 2011

 I loved the sexy yet regal prestige of the Herve Leger show. And for the simple fact that I can count on certain celebs to rock out with these pieces on the red carpet this upcoming season, it excited me to see the preview of what's to come, up close and personal. Herve Leger showed lots of mesh, detailed and pristine ruffles below the waist and tight body-hugging luxe materials up top. View the entire collection in the Facebook Album HERE.

Monique Lhuillier, Spring 2011

Surprising fave Monique Lhuillier was a red carpet stylist's dream with stunning floor-length gowns and rainbow colored asymmetrical frocks crowding the runway. In my opinion, Monique Lhuillier's show was the true definition of a show. I gasped each time a model popped out from behind the stage and onto the runway. That's how amazing the gowns were.

Betsey Johnson, Spring 2011

And of course, the most fun show of the entire week by FAR was the Betsey Johnson S/S 2011 show. From the upbeat tunes to the amazing punk rock meet grunge meets nautical pinup looks and down to the lace thongs Betsey delicately placed in each goodie bag, I had an absolute ball at the show! Of course Betsey did her signature cartwheel, and the show's looks were girly, quirky, naughty and fun just like Betsey! View the entire collection in the Facebook Album HERE.
