New York Fashion Week FW08 Part 1

By -
It's fashion week again so it's time to look at all the new, pretty things. Here are some highlights from a few shows so far.

ThreeAsFour

Metallic fabric with interesting construction and pops of color created a sleek collection.

BCBG Max Azria

I almost always love BCBG. FW08's collection of fun yet elegant clothing was no exception.

Charles Nolan

This romantic and historially inspired collection is full of girly yet sophisticated extravagance.

DKNY

Bright colors, short dresses, and eclectic styles made DKNY a fun show.

Diane Von Furstenburg

DvF's "foreign affair" themed show brought us a lesson in layering--just cinch the waist to keep lovely layers from being bulky.

Erin Featherson

The girly frocks were fun at Fetherson, but some pieces lacked the sophistication I've been seeing for fall. Still her colors, styles and frocks should please fans.

I love how sophisticated so many of these looks are- and how easy a few of them could be pulled off! I'm especially glad to see belted waists are still hanging around, because I love the look but still haven't quite gotten it to look right with my tiny waist to epic-sized hips ratio.

I'm glad belted waists (and tights!) are hanging around too.

I was happy to see the belts and tights too. It looks like there will also still be a lot of popping colors next fall, which makes me happy.

Best of all, the earrings I've featured here today all cost only $12.95. (Although the shop sells some other higher priced goods).

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
