The Runways are Covered

Can't quite get over just how covered up the styles were that walked this weeks runways at NYC's Fashion Week. Modesty may have its place in the winter collections - but these are Spring/Summer! Found all that coverage interesting as well as shocking. Who knew? (From Ports, Diane Von Furstenburg, Derek Lam, Vera Wang, & Betsey Johnson)

But here are some of my favorite looks this week (and there's still a day left!):

(From Betsey Johnson, Leifdottir, Elie Tahari, Dennis Basso, Hervé Léger, & Luca Luca)

In a nutshell, I'm loving the revisited nautical, polka dots, gilded accordion-pleats, girly volume, feminine fur touches, and belted basics. So much to love this season!

Lightening Rod

Lighting up through cords of color has now been brought to the masses via Anthropologie. A few months ago I posted about the NUD collection; a lightbulb on a cord, I loved the simplicity and straightforwardness of these illuminating options. Well it's not going to be so unique anymore now that it's gone retail, but still a funky ambience touch either way.
