New York Fashion Week FW12: Marc By Marc, Marc Jacobs

By -
Who: Marc by Marc Jacobs
What it made us think of: Throwback wartime style without any rationing
What we liked: Hats, retro dresses, full skirts, jackets, sometimes the boots
What we didn't: Pants that too closely resembling sweatpants, the same boots with everything
Who: Marc Jacobs
What it made us think of: Eccentric fashion pilgrims on a voyage of awesome headed for the Mad Hatter's tea party.
What we liked: Bold prints, big hats, exaggerated hips, layering, color, coats, knit safety pin wraps, shrugs
What we didn't: Pilgrim Shoes, 3/4 length skirts, crafty crinkle scarves, I love a big hat, but a lot of these got to Muppet-y.

ANYWAY, I like the ankle strap shoes.

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

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

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.
