by

Now in my 15th season of covering New York Fashion Week – a gal’s got to know what to bring, what to wear, and what to just not worry about! Luckily my ultra-chic wardrobe is taken care of this season, courtesy of Nicole Miller. Stay tuned throughout the week for looks from Nicole Miller Collection, as well as the affordable and hip Nicole by Nicole Miller line, available at JCPenney. Although the weather may be unbearable, I’ve got a selection of Nicole Miller tops, cardigans, and dresses to layer and stay chic, comfortable, and warm! The Nicole Miller runway show is today, 6pm: look forward to a future post and review, as well as exclusive interviews and access to the brand.

New York Fashion Week Day 1: What I Wore

by

[At Nicholas K, 9am, first day of New York Fashion Week. Don’t you love the security guards in the background?]

Let’s get it started! Day one was off to a rapid start, beginning with backstage at the very first show of the season, Nicholas K, at 8am. All I had time for this morning was some tinted moisturizer, Maybelline’s new Fit Me! Concealer #10, and Maybelline Falsies Mascara — no time for contact lenses! It was unbelievably FREEZING COLD outside, so I decided to nix anything that required tights for Day 1 – and instead opted for comfy, but nonetheless chic (and warm) look! Pants and my fleece-lined booties were the BEST idea I could have had on this day, as pockets were key for shoving show invites, pens, vitamins, and gum into them, and my feet looked chic without having to worry about throwing on a longer pair of boots.

Amazing Draping & Pleating
Designers weren’t afraid to show off their deft skills at draping and pleating this season, as horizontal, perfectly laid draping (seen above) and rich, Fortuny-like pleats added an air of ladylike classicism to Spring 2011’s runways.

That 70′ Show

Every season boasts a general consensus of inspiration from decades past, and this time around the ’60s and ’70s most visibly reined. Everyone was talking about the Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs collections that heavily mimicked the 1970s vibe with everything from the hair and sunglasses to the free flowing silhouettes, fabrications, and color palettes.

Spotless Whites
This season I was very much in love with the use of pristine whites on the runway. It added a particular grace to each of the garments. Made from delicate chiffons and silks, these pieces were simple and tasteful. The flowing white fabrics were alluring, with hints of sophistication as well as seduction. The way the material clung to the body showed a true appreciation for the feminine form and highlighted the extraordinary talent of these inspiring designers.

Playful Prints

Who doesn’t love bright colors and eye-catching patterns?  I sure do! My favorite looks this fashion week were the fabulously, funky designs of Zac Posen and Rachel Antonoff. Their quirky baby doll dresses in blues, greens, yellows, and reds were brilliantly conceived and tons of fun! Each look had such a fresh, youthful spirit. Perfect for a girl who simply loves life!

[Nanette Lepore Spring 2011 Collection]

Blushy Pinks
It brings out color without being garish and overpowering (which sometimes a red or purple can be!) and the slightly warm hue exudes a delicate femininity.
[Jenny Packham Spring 2011 Collection]
Shimmer
It’s like you’re wearing a party! And you can dress it up or down to bring the right amount of glam to what you’re wearing.
