Inspiring Outfit

One sure fire way to be photographed by the street style photographers during fashion week is to wear color. Mr. Newton captured the inspiring outfit above in Milan for Harper's Bazaar and I love the combination of neutrals, aqua, orange, and purple.  It not only looks nice as an outfit but also in art and interiors. I think it just might be my inspiration for my outfits and my apartment this spring.

NYFW Fall 2012: Lauren Moffatt

I've mentioned before that fashion shows are extremely expensive to produce.  That's the reason why some young or smaller designer houses are forced to get creative and show off site from Lincoln Center.  Lauren Moffatt showed her Fall 2012 collection at a school on Mott Street Thursday and it couldn't have been more perfect.  According to the show notes, the collection was "inspired by the innocent and classically undone style of a schoolgirl...the timeless color palate and buttoned up silhouettes is effortlessly chic with just a touch of mischievousness that lurks behind every schoolgirl's peter pan collar and pleated skirt." I especially loved the colorful print shown on some of the pieces in the "art studio" and will definitely be buying a few things for fall.
