As the temperatures drop, our craving for indulgence rises. We head inside, into the city’s cozy hotel bars and hidden lounges where we hatch wild schemes, embellish small tales, share secrets and feed our senses. The intimate conversations we enter into have sumptuous layers – of sly wit, flirtatious entendres and out of the ordinary ideas – that slowly unravel as we warm up to our environment and the delightful people around us, both known and unknown.
And so the collection’s relaxed layers of rich woolen plaids, flannels and quilting mix with pretty hues and elaborately adorned fabrics. Iconic silhouettes are nipped and tucked to befit our modern heroine, woodland fox reds and accents of pink – both softly spoken and as shocking punctuation – mix with chocolately browns, blacks and cream.
Where audacious femininity meets a sense of adventure is where our Fall begins. Expect the unexpected.
– Deborah Lloyd ~ Chief Creative Officer
One of my favorite presentations from NYFW in September was Kate Spade, so it was no surprise to see that Kate Spade pleased the crowd once again. With another fabulous showing at Center 548, models dressed to impress in hues of pink and red with furs and plaids, creating an unexpected mix leaving guests in awe. Invitees mingled and photographed the collection as male models served champagne and bites – can it get any better than that? Check out some of my favorite looks from the Fall 2015 collection and let us know what you think. Are you ready to add a vibrant touch to your future wardrobe?

When it comes to shoes, my philosophy is the higher the heel the better the shoe. Luckily with the return of platforms this season, my feet can finally feel a sense of comfort, without ditching the height! When lug sole boots come to mind, I definitely have a flashback to my elementary school days. That being said, we’ve all seen the recent return of the 90s, so who really is surprised by this trend?
To keep my look for Fashion Week bold and daring, I paired a
monochrome scalloped shift with a pair of
sky-high lug sole boots for a daytime look in the city. I have to say that stomping around in these boots was an amazing change from my stilettos! Lug sole boots come in all styles and colors, so for a more subdued look try
these,
these, or
these! See how I styled my look and be sure to shop my boot picks below!

Greetings from New York! The past week has been such an amazing whirlwind up here at New York Fashion Week, and I have had such an incredible time with all of these shows, events, and brand meetings, along with exploring the city with all of my favorite bloggers!
Viewing the Lela Rose runway show yesterday at Lincoln Center was definitely one of my highlights thus far! Since I’ve had the opportunity to work with Lela in the past (see here), I was so excited to get a sneak peek of all of her new designs. From her gorgeous florals to her finely tailored pieces, the show was such a feminine and sophisticated display!
For the event, I wore my leather shift dress with a bold statement necklace and my favorite Louboutins for an early Fall look. One trend I have been seeing a lot (not to mention wearing quite a lot!) is leather: pants, tops, skirts, dresses, you name it. It’s safe to say those splurge pieces you snagged last year are good for another season!
Another trend that I keep spotting around New York is braids! Whether you choose a side fishtail braid like mine (courtesy of Tresemme) or a cool braided up-do, this hair trend is definitely one to try out this season for a bold and fun new look!
Check out my look from yesterday’s show. Be sure to stay tuned for more NYFW updates and trends, and follow us on Instagram to join us on our Fashion Week journey!
