String and Chains

I've blogged many times about how I am a bracelet arm addict (check out this post, this post, and this post), but I think I found the mother of all bracelets. The Latch Collection by Laura Jastram is the perfect mix of edgy and sweet, and girly and tough. Seriously I gotta get myself one of these. Or just do this DIY (found on Honestly WTF). I'm loving the use of mixed materials and bright colors.  I need, I want, I gotta have!

Oh Friday how I love you. Seems as though this week would never end, but finally you have arrived. Yay!! And with some fall weather too!

 Fashion week was crazy, but exciting as always. I have to say though, I am excited for it to be over. Now it is time to relax and enjoy the weekend. Well not really relax...I have a pretty packed couple of days. Tomorrow I will be running a 4 mile race through Central Park for the FITNESS Mind, Body, Spirit games, and then I'm heading into Hoboken for the night. Very excited! Sunday will be a day spent with Nicky, shopping for him for some new work clothes. Always a fun adventure :) Hope everyone enjoys this fast blast of fall!

This week's happiness:

-at my fav mexican restaurant ever for margs with the bf-

-heather morris is our october cover girl!-

-kind of loved this dude's backpack-

-nanette lepore runway show-

-love this sign at my new fav bagel shop on 3rd ave-

NYFW: Nanette Lepore

By far, my most favorite show that I've been to yet. Between the INSANE amount of neon, the brushed back hair, lavender lips, and the live band, it really doesn't get any better. I also loved the lace overlays, stripes, and cutouts. And those NEON shoes...get out. I <3 Nanette Lepore..for realz. Can you tell?

NYFW: Peter Som

Bold color stole the show at the Peter Som runway show the other day. It looked as though the models jumped out of a Crayola crayon box. I'm in love with all of the brightly colored dresses, especially the pink strapless one below. How amazing?? So simple, but it makes such a statement. I'm happy to see color sticking around for another season. Even the models have streaks of color in their hair! Genius.

NYFW: Tracy Reese

On Sunday afternoon, I had the pleasure of sitting in the audience while Tracy Reese showcased her Spring 2012 collection, in what I like to describe as a fairytale forest. The backdrop of birch trees was magical and whimsical, and the clothes were all that and more. I am obsessed with all the printed platforms, especially the ones that matched the print of the garment that the model was wearing. So clever and very lady like. If you are a floral fiend, there was plenty offer, with delicate prints on shoes, dresses, one pieces, and even parasols.

Here are my favorite looks from the show:

NYFW: BCBG

So as most of you know (or at least SHOULD know), New York Fashion week is upon us and I am really excited to see what is in store for us for the spring. I know, crazy to think about the flowers blossoming and the weather getting warm again (especially considering summer's recent end), but I get really giddy about flowy dresses and sunglasses.

Here are some of my fav pieces from the BCBG show (one of my favorite designers). Looks like tribal prints are sticking around for a while...I won't complain.

-this one is my favorite-

I love this quote from VS Angel Adriana Lima. It's so true. Everyone is prettier when they are happy. And let's be honest, what don't we have to be happy about? It's the weekend! So smile :) What are your plans? I'm kind of excited to just relax for the first half of this weekend. I'm hoping to get some fall shopping in before I head over to Lincoln Center for New York Fashion Week, maybe catch a movie (or watch one of the one's that I have at home from Netflix--Can't Hardly Wait--I love that one!), and just hang. Oh and I am getting my hair done on Saturday afternoon too. So excited to go a nice shade of rich brown for the fall. Sunday is when it gets busy again...I'll be over at LC for the Tracy Reese show. She is amazing, and I'm sure the show will be too! See you all back here on Monday!

My happiness...
