NYFW - Alice & Olivia, Custo Barcelona, Leanne Marshall

I had the most incredible time at Fashion Week this year. The dream has become reality, I just can not wait for the Fall! Praying big time for access to more shows and events. I can not wait to connect with other bloggers, fashionistas and all-around amazing people. 

When I think Custo Barcelona I think color, heat, attitude and short hemlines. Frigid temperatures did not allow me to strut my stuff too much, but I went for layers and classics again with this look. 

Inside the tents at Custo I warmed up right away. The collect was vibrant, young and super fun.

Next, I headed downtown to the Alice & Olivia by Stacey Bendet presentation. I wanted every single piece in this collection. The collection channeled rock and roll London in the late 60's and early 70s. There were fabulous textures and vibrant prints. I wanted to steal every boot, particularly the mohair leopard over the knee numbers. Floral jacquards, mod miniskirts, lengthy pea coats, furs and graphic prints, I could not get enough!!! Enjoy this lush vibrant collection.

Final show of the season, Leanne Marshall. This designer won the 5th season of Project Runway.  To be honest, I did not watch the full season, but I remembered Leanne for her soft girlie outfits. This collection of 42 looks was flowing, feminine, sexy and etherial. It was jam packed with sheer chiffon, empire waists, jewel toned color palettes, and was truly whimsical. 

Au revoir Fashion Week. Thanks for all your fun. I can not wait until the Fall.

Fashion Week Tents & Alice's Tea Cup Dreams

Ladies and gentleman! I kicked one off my NYC Bucket List! 

I was over the moon excited when my sweet friend Mary invited me along to a show at NY Fashion Week at Lincoln Center! Like the real deal in the tents fashion week. Before heading over to the Mara Hoffman show, we stopped by Alice's Tea Cup for some brunch.

Alice's Tea Cup has multiple locations across Manhattan. It is a little girls dream, the perfect spot for a cup of tea, and the scones are melt in your mouth delicious. 

I opted for a cup of coffee.

Mary decided on a healthy treat with Yogurt, Granola & Mixed Berries.

I can not resist their scones and decided on the Salmon Scones Benedict. It is a buttermilk scone topped with smoked salmon, a poached egg and benedict sauce (I got mine on the side). They serve it with a side of asparagus and pears which sounds weird but tastes great.

Onto the tents! Welcome to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week!

Gosh Mary looked awesome! She's such a fashion inspiration! She works for a lovely boutique called Big Drop, check it out!

I could not believe I was actually at a show. It is getting harder and harder to get an invite. I kept giggling with happiness.

Mara Hoffman did not disappoint.

I was obsessed with the flowing dresses, bright colors, and woven knits.

Happy Fashion Week! Till next season...
