NYFW—BCBG Fall 2013


Hola!  Yesterday New York Fashion Week started off with a bang!  One of my fave shows was BCBG, tons of inspiration for Fall 2013 as well as items that can be worn in the blustery winter weather now. Layers were in abundance-sweaters over dresses over pants and more!  Fur, leather and beanies all took center stage as well.  The juxtaposition of it all works and I am loving it!

Max Azria‘s design team use of prints paired with the right colors and textures brings the clothing to life.  This collection shows you exactly how to get more wear out of your summer items in the midst of winter.  It makes me want to take a risk by pairing my summer frock and leather pants.  Take a peek at the show and share your thoughts.

As usual stay tuned right here as I will continue to bring you coverage of my fave shows.  You can also tune into the live stream here as well.  Happy Fashion Week!
