More fashion!!!
Marchesa, Marchesa, Marchesa...could you be any more devine?

With the perfectly placed ruffles and the variety of necklines and colors, it was just AMAZING. What young thing wouldn't look good in this dress?

And while this color wouldn't look great on many skin tones, the dress itself is perfection:

Can we say "Reese Witherspoon" when we see this dress?

And of course I want every pair of shoes that walked on that runway!

But this one just has to be my favorite look from the entire week:

I am usually a HUGE fan of Marc Jacobs, but this time, he just didn't grab me. I get the whole "vintage" feel he was going for, but I didn't find any of the style that remarkable or creative. What did you think?

Oscar de le Renta, on the other hand, was true OSCAR. Glamour, richness, and creativity were all present:

The color palette truly represented the "fall colors."

With a bit of an '80's feel in the hair and makeup, he gave us clothing that women young and old will want to wear.
I will just call it GENIUS, pure GENIUS, and I have a feeling we might be seeing this one at an awards show this year:

WOMEN'S FASHION WEEK - FEB. '10
Zac Posen, Carolina Herrera, Peter Som...It's FASHION WEEK!
Who DOESN'T love the fashion walking down the runways right now?!
The simplistic, yet gorgeous, jackets and pants of Zac Posen remind me of wrapping up in a blanket and sipping hot cocoa with tiny marshmellows. But it's more luxe than that. It's AMAZING. Check it out:

Though the collection's color palette is not flattering to all skin tones, it does follow the neutral nude tone of the majority of designers for Fall 2010. With weird fabric patch placements on some pieces, I wouldn't call all beautiful fashion, but certain outfits are perfect:
What do you think of all of the fur booties to match the fur jackets? Too much or just right?
Everything Carolina Herrera showed was glamorous and tailored, and though not all flattering, with wide leg, pleated pants and oversized clothing, it shows the strength of a woman. Carolina Herrera RTW Fall 2010 - WWD.com
This is something I would wear: http://www.wwd.com/fashion-week/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/review/carolina-herrera-rtw-fall-2010-2477076?city=new-york/recent#/slideshow/microsite/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/2477076/2477176/new-york
How about you?
I'm not used to Monique Lhuillier RTW Fall 2010 - WWD.com being anything other than wedding dresses, but these slim dresses show the uniqueness and detail that she's known for. I especially love this green mini:
http://www.wwd.com/fashion-week/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/review/monique-lhuillier-rtw-fall-2010-2478038?city=new-york/highlights#/slideshow/microsite/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/2478038/2478348/new-york
Donna Karan didn't disapoint: Donna Karan RTW Fall 2010 - WWD.com with extremely flattering black pants, glamorous gloves and lace details, structure, and a bit of a futuristic theme. This is one of my favorite outfits: http://www.wwd.com/fashion-week/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/review/donna-karan-rtw-fall-2010-2478384?city=new-york/recent#/slideshow/microsite/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/2478384/2478468/new-york
The entire collection looked rich, with pieces you could own forever (though not "classic"). If someone can do this with basically one color (black), that is true talent. I would like half of the collection please!
Betsey Johnson's quirky and fun spirit came through! Betsey Johnson RTW Fall 2010 - WWD.com
The green and khaki neutrals didn't seem to work as well as the brights:
http://www.wwd.com/fashion-week/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/review/betsey-johnson-rtw-fall-2010-2475023?city=new-york#/slideshow/microsite/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/2475023/2475139/new-york
Something I definitely have to point out is the variety of body types in her show. The model casting was obviously not just for the skinny mini's, but for models with some curves as well. It was so nice seeing something that all designers should do.
After a horrible intern experience with her years ago, I didn't ever think I'd be writing something positive about Jill Stuart Jill Stuart RTW Fall 2010 - WWD.com, but I will say I love this one outfit:
http://www.wwd.com/fashion-week/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/review/jill-stuart-rtw-fall-2010-2476745?city=new-york#/slideshow/microsite/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/2476745/2477795/new-york
She has several designers working for her anyway, so I would love to give them the compliment.
I am IN LOVE with the glasses (Yes, I want them!), and the realization that I could see Victoria Beckham in each and every one of these pieces.

Did I love every single piece? Yes, every SINGLE piece. http://www.wwd.com/fashion-week/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/review/victoria-beckham-rtw-fall-2010-2471953?city=new-york#/slideshow/microsite/fall-ready-to-wear-2010/2471953/2472001/new-york
I am a bit saddened at the super skinny model choices, but the designs were beautiful.
Diane von Furstenberg's neutral palette was perfect for the solids and prints of flowy and structured items for the young, modern urbanite.

Strong shoulders and fresh-faced, youthful models made Alice + Olivia's fashion collection perfect.
Alice + Olivia RTW Fall 2010 - WWD.com
Glamour, with fur stoles, and old-time menswear sex appeal, Alice In Wonderland hats, beige and black neutrals, Alice + Olivia should be set with the celebrities wearing the latest styles!
Peter Som did it right. Peter Som RTW Fall 2010 - WWD.com
With beautiful fall color combinations, like plum, bright green and eggplant, made it stand out amongst the pack of neutrals. The dark goth lipstick and stick straight hair added to the beautiful styling:

LOVE IT!
Study in Singapore Links Sugary Soft Drinks and Pancreatic Cancer - AOL News
Just another study proving how horrible soda is for your health...click above!
That's just something I HAD to post for all of you, but I really wanted to write about the experience I had tonight at a new fitness studio in Manhattan. It's called NIMBLE FITNESS. When I saw a fusion yoga/dance class on lifebooker.com, I decided to purchase a class and go down to the Union Square area. The class was more pilates with upbeat music in the background, but it was still great!
I ended up getting a private lesson, so the teacher was able to move my body by tiny increments, making each positions exactly right. The teacher's name was Rachel, and she was friendly, knowledgeable, easygoing, and just plain fun. We worked with a pilates leg circle movement that I've never done before (I've done circles to the ceiling but never to the side.), and I can honestly say that I have never felt a move work my butt muscles so well! For that alone, I would recommend taking her class. The class was relaxing, fun and unique to the many other exercise classes I've taken.
I was also able to meet all three of the owners, and they were so nice! I've been to many studios in NYC and it's rare that you find all owners there working with genuine smiles on their faces.
Nimble Fitness only recently opened, but the place was very busy when I got there and when I left.

GRAMMY'S 2010!
Of course I had to cover another fashion event since this is the best month of awards shows! I'd love to hear your opinions as well!
Nude was definitely a main color of the night for the ladies! http://www.popsugar.com/7235250
Beyonce's dress was GORGEOUS, but I would've preferred it on someone with less curves since the lines in the dress would give someone with a straighter body more curves.
Katy Perry was glowing, but who else thought she needed a bra (or a better one)?
http://www.popsugar.com/7235250?page=0,0,52
Sheryl Crow looked blah. I mean, she looked pretty, but this is the Grammy's, a chance to dress a bit funky and have fun with it! http://www.popsugar.com/7243100?page=0,0,7
Carrie Underwood looked pretty in gold. http://www.popsugar.com/7243100?page=0,0,2
Her first dress, however, didn't do anything for her body, and frankly, I didn't love her wearing white after just getting engaged. Let your man wait for the wedding to see you in a long white dress!
http://www.popsugar.com/7235250?page=0,0,2
Aaay...come on J Lo! http://www.popsugar.com/7243100?page=0,0,3
Chris O'Donnel was perfection, just how a man should look, in all black with fine details. http://www.popsugar.com/7243100?page=0,0,8
I'm undecided about PINK. I think I would've liked the mermaid look better if she had done her hair differently. http://www.popsugar.com/7235250?page=0,0,57 What's your opinion? http://www.popsugar.com/7243100?page=0,0,10
Fergie's makeup was gorgeous, more toned down than usual. http://www.popsugar.com/7243100?page=0,0,24 In photos, her dress didn't look that great, but on TV, it was so pretty and unique.
http://www.popsugar.com/7235250?page=0,0,90
Taylor Swift had her signature curly hairstyle, swept off to the side, and a very pretty dress, but I would've preferred a smoky eye rather than a red lip with the "bright" dress. http://www.popsugar.com/7235250?page=0,0,87
I am really getting frustrated about Rihanna because I always loved her style, but lately, it's just a bit much and just not that cool. http://www.popsugar.com/7235250?page=0,0,93
I feel badly for Britney Spears because it was obvious that she was trying to wear something similar to what she wore years ago, when she was on top of the world. But it didn't work this time. http://www.popsugar.com/7235250?page=0,0,111 It's not the '90's anymore, and it's just not cute.
And what can I really say about Lady Gaga...well, I think I won't say anything and we'll leave it at that! This was definitely the place for her to express herself! http://www.popsugar.com/7243100?page=0,0,23
I think she seems like such a nice person, but if she keeps having these hairstyles and tons of makeup, she will keep getting the questions about her gender. http://www.popsugar.com/7235250?page=0,0,36
And lastly, I tried to skip her, but I just couldn't since she stood out so much. Ciarra thought she looked cute, but it didn't work. http://www.popsugar.com/7235250?page=0,0,104 She said that her favorite part of the outfit was the jacket, and she was right. The jacket was gorgeous, so she should've made that the focal point of the outfit and kept the rest simple, showing a bit more skin. She's a beautiful young woman, so dress the part!
Okay, I feel better now. Yes, this was the Grammy's, and it was full of super fun fashion, but it was also full of people who needed better stylists (wink wink). To the next fashion event!
