September Favorites

September 2012 Favorites

1. Spring 2013 Fashion Shows are beginning! Starting with New York from September 6-13, London is the 14th-18, Milan the 19-25, and Paris the 25th to October 3rd. I can't wait to watch all the shows and see the trends for Spring 2013.
2. Coach's New Legacy Collection - In early August Coach launched a new collection and I am finally seeing it hitting the streets. One my of favorite things about the new collection is the duffle bag that can be custom designed with different colors. Usually I am one to walk past the Coach store but I really like the new accessories and clothing so be sure to take a stroll in there yourself. Coach Website
3. Tweed Jackets and Loose Knit Sweater - Already I have seen tweed jackets everywhere along with knit sweaters. Although I most likely won't be able to wear a heavy tweed jacket in Florida this winter I am already stacking up on my loose knit sweaters. Above is an Alexander Wang jacket for $1050 and an All Saints knit sweater for $150
4. Jennifer Fisher FNO Bracelet - Fashion Night Out is another hot event for the industry in September. This is the fourth year where celebrities, designers, editors, and models storm stores around the world to celebrate the greatness of fashion!
5. Oscar de la Renta's Limited Edition Nail Colors -After much anticipation after his fall show in February, Oscar has finally released the nail colors. The three colors consist of Red carnation, Aubergine, and Larimar. But hurry fast there are only 700 available for $22 each. Get the polish here!
6. Liberal Arts in Theaters September 14th - Considering how much I love Elizabeth Olsen and Josh Radnor from How I Met Your Mother, I cannot wait for this movie. Josh's character, Jesse Fisher, gets a new look on life after returning to his college to speak and meeting Elizabeth's character, Zibby. It looks like a great film with romance and with Josh Radnor in it, I can count on it being comedic as well!
7. Bring Out Your Booties! The trend of boots is continuing and I love it! This season I am loving every type of boot out there. The shoes above are a pair of Miu Miu boots of Net-A-Porter for $750. Even though that is far out of my price range there are plenty around town to satisfy anyone. For lower price, quality boots try TopShop, Steve Madden, Nasty Gal. 
8. National Chocolate Milkshake Day - Besides Labor Day of course, this is my favorite holiday in September! On September 12th, you can find me at my local diner slurping down a nice BIG chocolate milkshake.

Elizabeth Olsen Takes on Bullett Magazine

With Elizabeth Olsen's career moving at the speed of lights, it's hard to still call Elizabeth the baby of the Olsen sisters. The movie star just finished up Therese Raquin in Serbia and now is starting production for Very Good Girls with Dakota Fanning. The 23 year old has put her college career on hold at Tisch School of the Arts in New York to pursue her many acting roles in award winning movies. I love watching her grow into her own person and seeing her slowly and surely separate herself from the Olsen twins!

I love the colorful, sequined shorts and crazy, spiked bracelets matched with a classy blouse and purse!

The Midas Touch for British Vogue

I can't think of a better way to celebrate the Olympics in London than to have a Midas (golden) Touch themed shoot for the September issue of British Vogue. Some of the biggest names in the modeling industry in England teamed together to wear some of the most glamorous bespoke gowns!

Vogue-The September Issue 2012

Every year I can't wait to see who is on the cover of the September issue for Vogue. Last year it was Kate Moss revealing her awaited wedding photos. This September 2012 Lady Gaga graces the cover of Vogue for the second time. What really shocked me the most was the fact this year the September issue will be a whopping 916 pages. The last year I recall it ever being so thick was in 2007 when it was 840 pages, claiming it was the "biggest issue ever". With almost 1,000 pages of fashion I know I cannot wait to get my hands on this issue!

This Week's Best Dressed

This first week of August has been bustling with premieres and high fashion. Ever since I returned from my study abroad program over in Europe I have been on high alert for all sorts of fashion. It is probably my way of pretending I'm still in London :( 

Here are some of my favorite picks from this weeks red carpets and streets: 

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, wearing Roksanda Ilincic at the Creative Industries Reception 

 Michelle Williams in A.P.C; with my recent Dawson's Creek obsession I had to include this... she's so cute!

 Jessica Biel at the Total Recall premiere wearing Dior Couture (look at her ring!)

Rachel Weisz at the Bourne Legacy Premiere wearing Dior Couture
