Duckie Brown Spring 2013 Menswear

Duckie Brown Spring 2013 was "Calvin Klein meets lumberjack". I missed the usual wackiness of their clothing. It's normally very bright, very "flamboyant". This season was All-American and denim on top of plaid. Check it out...

This belt contraption was too cool for school. The colour of the leather and the dark denim created this yummy mixture of colour and americana with high fashion dashed in.

Normally, I don't like plaid but this was styled great. 

Here come the Calvin Klein-esque pieces....

wow

I'm a sucker for sculptural pieces. This jacket is amazing and such a statement piece. 

Although this collection wasn't as colourful as usual, the narrative on style for men was still crafted and presented in a beautiful way.

Moschino Spring 2013

This season of Moschino was very playful. There were patterns, bright colours, and bright coloured patterns!! Check out the first dress, it exemplifies all 3 of those....

this model has so much *attitude*

Is anyone else reminded of McQueen's painted dress from this??

her hair is so luxurious

such a power piece, I love black models with swimsuits. They're skin makes it look so good!

How did you enjoy Moschino's collection? I thought it was amazing! Very colourful! Very playful! Totally wearable!

Alexander Wang Spring 2013

Alexander Wang's Spring 2013 Collection was full of surprises, from peeps of skin to glow in the dark fashions and chrome fabrics. Wang stated that he played with the idea of "tension and suspension" which is clearly evident in this collection. Check it out below!

Jeremy Scott Spring 2013

Jeremy Scott's Spring 2013 collection was AMAZING! He definitely toned it down this season (I missed all the crazy tumblr-inspired-e-net fashion). BUT It was still wonderful. They had scarfs, sheer, BRAIDS, turquoise, golden sequins, and cool trinkets ON the dresses (like actually on them!)

Here were some of my favorite looks:

cheetah boy

the gold chain! 

now you see me, now you don't 

This look reminded me of a banana, but it slowly grew on me

werk that baroque!

Her skin with this garment is so striking!

Which one do I look at?

From far away, they look like a pattern....

but close-up, they're golden guns!!!

Look at Jeremy rocking corn-rolls!

I wonder how long that took...

GGGGRRRRIIIMMMMMMEEESSSSSS

I really enjoyed his last show with the psychedelic colour choices and patterns but this show was still killer! In a way, it was good that he toned this season down, I'm not too sure I would've enjoyed it as much this round. Go Jeremy!

What were your favorites?? Did you like this collection more than the last collection? Leave a comment  below!!

Richard Chai Love Spring 2013

 Richard Chai did amazing this season at New York Fashion Week. 

There was floral, sequins, sheer....what else could you ask for?

FLORAL AND SHEER? I'M DYING

This was so cute, I love the repeated cutout is Chai's collection. And maybe I'm just looking too hard, but doesn't the part below the cutout kinda look like a sagging shirt, like a button-up that has the neck hole right below the model's boobs? Does anyone else that? No?

I love that this shirt was made with Rayon. The Rayon's synthetic quality shows all of the creases while giving it a metallic sheen. And it still looks expensive.

I usually hate madras and patchwork patterns but this is just woah. Like, look at it. It's an actually nice patchwork pattern which is apparently difficult for people since there's so much nasty madras. 

....more rayon....

This particular outfit reminded me of this piece by Bill+Mar, they're both beautiful, I'm just saying.

All I thought with this outfit was "WHAT THE HELL!" This is not cute. Her legs look like green beans. It was all amazing and then this ensemble turned the corner and I was stunned. But not in a "I can't breathe, This is amazing, Where can I buy this?" kind of way. It went "What? Ummm. She looks like a green bean. Nice shoes. But vegetable thighs?"

....more cutouts.....

The print of this dress is what makes it. If you look at it, it's a fairly simple dress but the print just ramps it up into *POW*! It has such an impact and I'm digging that sequined sash action.

THESE SHOES GIVE ME LIFE.

THAT IS ALL THAT CAN BE SAID. 

I would love to own this shirt. It's sequined and it's perfect. Sequins are perfect. I love the computer-board-esque pattern on it. It's killer.

Fashion's Night Out 2012 ~ Austin

My friend, Amber, and I went to the "Fashion's Night Out" event in Austin, TX....I'm jealous of my new-yorker friend (ughhhhhh).

Obviously, it was a lot smaller than ones in the major fashion capitals but I still had a great time. When we got there, we had to search for where it was at. It took place in Barton Creek Square Mall but we didn't where it would be. We wanted to get there super early so that we could be one of the first 200 people and get a "swag bag" but traffic made us get there about 20 minutes late. Fortunately, we were still one of the first 200! And there's more! When we got there we both put our names into a raffle for free microdermabrasion and I won!! It was only 6:30 at that point and we got there at 6:20! Everything happened so fast.

This was the bag and inside it had coupons for the various stores that had events going on too, as well as a nifty water bottle. 

Before we actually did some shopping, we stopped by Starbucks.

We went to Steve Madden and I got these cool socks that I'm actually rocking right now....loving them. BUT, on the flyer for FNO, it said that with any purchase from Steve Madden, you would get a studded iPad case. Now I know the socks were only $1.99 but still. It was a purchase. I asked if I got the case because she never gave it to me and she said, "Oh, it's on purchases of $100 or more." That's not what the flyer says, but I digress. We went to Coldwater Creek afterwards because we didn't know what it was. Apparently, it's a "teacher-fashion" store so we turned right back around. ¡Hasta la vista! Amber and I walked across the way and went to Williams Sonoma but they didn't have samples, so we left. 

All we wanted and could afford was the free food.

THEN, we found the mothership....the creme de la creme.....the epitome of fashion.....the CROCS STORE.

It was almost funny how many ugly things there were in there. I mean, it was everywhere. On the walls. On stands. And apparently Crocs have these things called "Jibbitz" that hook into the top of the shoe. It's like decoration but they're not made very well. The jibbitz below weren't rejects, that's what they all looked like. 

sassy jasmine and derpy ariel

And the employees kept hovering around us like hawks. I think they mustn't seen people in there in quite some time....but don't worry, we didn't buy anything. We walked in to take this photo and left right after. I can't be seen in a Crocs store of all things. 

WOOHOO

AND WE'RE GETTING A TOPSHOP/TOPMAN!! It's not a storefront but there's a section of space about 40 ft. x 60 ft. that they're transforming in Nordstrom's. How exciting!!
