It’s that time again-Fashion Week!  While all I want to do is think about spring, we can also look towards next fall/ winter so we make smart purchases THIS winter (which is never ending and horrible).  Here are some of my favorite looks from the shows:

Veronica Beard: LOVE LOVE LOVE, especially that dress!

Altuzzara: Obsessed with this first outfit and the jacket in the second look.

ADEAM: This patterned long dress is whimsical yet breathtaking.

DVF: Another patterned maxi with a daring line but cute print.

Kaufmanfranco: I just love their clean, crisp, classic looks.

J.Mendel: This gown is SO COOL and HAS to come down the Oscar’s red carpet, maybe on Cate Blanchett?

Carolina Herrera: A beautiful, flowy gown with embellishments.

Michael Kors: I adore the mix of textures!

Sophie Theallet (l) and Milly (r) prove party pants will still be big next fall.

Ralph Lauren: Of course, classic lines prevail.  I love the combo of chasmere turtleneck and sexy maxi skirt for evening.

Badgley Mischka: A leopard gown? Yes please. The look at right is a realistic, glamorous concept for a night out.

Badgley Mischka’s gold and white gown is another good one for the Oscars and well as this modern Lela Rose at right.

Jenny Packham: A jeweled sweatshirt mixed with a beaded evening skirt is fun while this insanely gorgeous gown at right should be another red carpet star.

Juan Carlos Obando: Jewel tones and sexy draping.
