NYFW – BCBG Max Azria

Construction with a sense of feminine flirtation.  This is the feel I get from the BCBG Max Azria line shown at New York Fashion Week yesterday.  Azria put together a line that had youthful fresh aspects in shown using different trends.  We saw graphic white dresses with contrasting black leather bands flow into playful lace.  The colour palette used was white, black and vibrant coral which gave it the perfect touch of colour.   

Dark haired fresh faced models walked down the runway with an orange-red lip and bedroom hair creating the sexiness which was needed.

Fashion's Night Out

All around the big fashion cities you can jump in with the celebrations with tonight's Fashions Night Out!  I'm soo jealous!

Things to look out for in London is Chanel's Beauty Vending Machine's, Korean Themed Opening Ceremony in Covent Garden with DJ's and street food, be photographed in your trench coat at Burberry and you can also meet designers such as Jonathan Saunders and Richard Nicoll.

Back in New York City which colides with New York Fashion Week, you can get access to limited merchandise from all stores staying open till late, you can go play Where's the Bieber as Justin one of the campaigners for this year's Fashion's Night Out, you can go enjoy Carolina Herrera's carnival at her Madison Avenue shop or enjoy the Korean themed Karaoke Opening Ceremony at the Ace Hotel.

The Cute Pet #1

You may not know this but I have a very soft spot for dogs.  Especially my little Oscar, our pug, Herbie, Runelle’s pug and Dexter, Donovan’s dachshund.  Therefore I’m dedicating this little feature of all things cute for dogs to the 3 mongolians.

This week in my Pet feature I have some amazing collars from Chloe’s Collars on Etsy.  Love the bow ties!
