New York Fashion Week FW 2011: Badgley Mischka, J. Mendel, Marchesa

By -
Who: Badgley Mischka
What it made us think of: Hollywood's screen greats in the 30s & 40s.
What we liked: Vintage glam, shoulders, technicolor dresses, bright & shiny long leather gloves, sparkle tights, jeweled details
What we didn't: Some back and side skirt ruffs and poofs seemed tacked on; textured/striped fabric with daisy imprint Who: J. Mendel
What it made us think of: Art deco goes tribal and feminine
What we liked: Deco/tribal prints, mixed textures, textured leggings,
What we didn't: Lack of color, overwhelming furs, fewer great dresses than usual (unless the ones obscured by coats were fabulous, but I couldn't see them to tell) Who: Marchesa
What it made us think of: A ghost from the Victorian era who haunted the ever-changing occupants of her mansion and steals lace and jewels to adorn her decaying wardrobe.
What we liked: Lace, sparkles, sleeves, textured legwear, lace socks, couture feel, everything
What we didn't: ---

However, this shop has a lot more to offer than cats of all sizes. These laser cut wooden earrings range from fun swirling designs to intricate peacocks. Best of all, the earrings I've featured here today all cost only $12.95. (Although the shop sells some other higher priced goods).

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.
