New York Fashion Week is well under way, with half of the Spring and Summer 2010 collections already sent down the runway.
Designers have been showing some gorgeous pieces for Spring, with yummy colors and very wearable accessories coming up for the next season.
Diane Von Furstenburg continued the trend of bold, simple accessories in bright candy colors with her big bangle bracelets:

The knotted necklace almost has a tribal feel to it – but updated with more of those great colors.
I can pass on the feathery sleeves, but those shoes from Zac Posen are completely yummy!  How can you resist the combination …read more

Yellow is a great Summer color. If worn the right way, with great accessories and with a great fun, flirty attitude it can be made in to “your color.” But, what happens when the bell tolls and the calendar says, “Oh…it’s Fall?” Do you put away that yellow dress, top, or skirt and say, “Until next year friend…it was a fun run”? I sure hope not! Just like any color, there are certain tones and hues that can turn the color from bright and happy  to rich and sophisticated. And that’s what this Zac Posen Silk Crepe Love Dress is; …read more

If you’ve been on the fence about that wonderfully versatile but sometimes goofily 80s article of clothing known as leggings, fall may be the season to finally come to grips with your aversion to them. For one thing, they’ve muscled their way into fashion mags each time the leaves fade a few shades since, oh, what, 2006?
Not only aren’t they going on hiatus this fall, they seem to have spent their summer vacations reinventing themselves so they’re even more eclectic, brave and fun-loving.
There were leather leggings at Helmut Lang…
Jeweled leggings at Zac Posen…
And leggings that paid homage to Kandinsky and …read more

Oh, Zac Posen, how do you know women so well? Seriously, I swoon for this man’s attention to the finer details of women’s dressing. His classic, feminine styles are so well-tailored and well-crafted, it isn’t hard to see how he became such a sensation. This gorgeous fuchsia dress has a versatility that a lot of women will appreciate, not to mention eye-popping color and a totally standout silhoette.
This dress will be beautiful with bare legs for the next few weeks (or months, if you live in the warmer climes, as I do). And, come fall, it will be mind-bendingly chic …read more

Are you still looking for a white or cream coloured handbag? This gorgeous shoulder bag by Zac Posen will look great on your arm throughout the summer season and well into fall and winter.
The Zac Posen Carine Shoulder Bag is a ladylike and sophisticated bag. The leather has a flamenco crackle texture in a beautiful ivory shade. The bag is accented with Zac Posen’s signature lightning bolt and square locks in silver.  The shoulder bag measures 15″W X 10″H X 2″D which is roomy enough to hold just about everything you need for a day at work or weekends.
It’s also …read more

The evening wear on the Fall runways was every kind of metallic and glittery. I’ve already covered the more uniform fabrics in metallics, and glitters, but another thing that is really blowing me away is the way metallics have been used to create patterns.
Metallic printing and sequins have been combined in a way on this Pucci gown that makes the shimmery fabric look like it is falling in waves. The ornately embellished bodice is balanced out by the delicate simplicity of the chiffon skirt.
The metallic sequins on this Calvin Klein gown are clustered into an almost giraffe print pattern. When …read more

I was checking out the Neiman Marcus website today and holy moly, they’ve come out with the fall lines already. Now, I know we’ve already seen these lines on the runway and fashionistas have eagerly been awaiting to get their hands on these precious pieces…but I haven’t even had I chance to show off my tan lines yet! 
However, this Zac Posen Nora Dress is a good compromise. If I have to be in a fall mood in May then I can wear a slinky little sundress thing. 
The dress itself is green and indigo with an almost tribal Native American feel …read more

For a night out on the town this is an absolutely amazing dress. If I knew how to ballroom dance I would take this dress with me.  I know I’ve said it before, but do I ever love these shades of purple! This Zac Posen Seamed Dress has color blocks of light and dark amethyst with a sweetheart neckline.

Neiman Marcus has this dress for $1,900.

It wasn’t too many seasons ago that structured looks ruled the runway, and even though this year calls for relaxed and flowy styles, there’s still a gem or two to be found in streamlined silhouettes.
Case in point:  The Zac Posen Devon North-South Tote;

This little black number helps you enjoy the best of both worlds with a choice of two handles – on the top and the sides – so you can tote it along in a fresh new way on every trip.
