NYFW Fall 2012: Let the games begin!

It's finally here everyone!! New York Fashion Week has officially started, and we are oh so excited. We started the day off by getting a front row seat (aka our desk chair was as close to our computer screen as possible) to the BCBG Max Azria live streaming of their runway show. Jumpsuits, fur, and color blocking...need I say more?? We then switched over to the Nicholas K show to get our fix of urban cowboy chic. Below are some of our fav looks from both shows. And special thanks to @ManRepeller and @EHolmesWSJ for giving us a first look sneak peek at Cynthia Rowley's collection..can't WAIT to see more of her looks!

Tights are always a fun way to spice up any outfit. Especially with all the patterns that have been coming out recently, you can experiment and see which style tickles your fancy the best. You can choose from a plethora of designs ranging from spotted, stripped, a bold print, or cute bow accents. We purchased some from Nasty Gal that are black sheer with diamond studs down the back of the leg. SO cute! Pair these with either a LBD, high-waisted shorts, or a chic skirt to cause some serious double-takes;) So go ahead and add some sass to your outfit and give these trendy tights a try!

So we are just now able to pick our jaws up off the floor after spending hours upon hours gawking at the beyond amazing creations that strolled down the runway at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. It's hard for us to even find words to describe our thoughts about each label because one after another, they literally left us speechless. From the elegance and pastels of Elie Saab, to the fierceness and attitude that is always Versace, each designer's work was literally that of a fashion genius. We just have one word for everyone and everything involved with this past week, Merci. 

Braids on the Brain

We have always been a fan of braids. This diverse hairstyle has a sense of effortless glamour that we absolutely love. Although we aren't the best braiders in the world(our mom didn't pass that talent down to us), we have a lot of fun experimenting and playing with different styles of braids depending on our outfits and what look we are going for. You can opt for the classic french, simple side braid, braided bangs, or the fishtail braid that is a major trend this season. And having the option of braiding as much or as little hair you want allows for constant change and endless options. So pick a style you feel like rocking and get to braiding!

Smell of Spring

So we're kind of loving the new line of nail polish that Dior has recently debuted, Garden Party. Not only are the colors chic with shades of vibrant green and purple, but they are scented as well! Why just settle with awesome looking nails when you can have them looking and smelling fresh all in one?? The polish gives off a rose scent after it is finished drying. What a great idea! Other labels that feature scented polishes are Revlon, Anna Sui( adorable bottle design), Color Club, and Tuff Scent. So who's excited to try this new spring trend out?!
