OGLE: NY Fashion Week Favorites

It's upon us.

NYFW.


Dramaazzzz.  It's been crazy town here in the City, but the best part is that the streets are filled with the most beautiful people that have the most eclectic style.  I was feeling a little fashion fatigued myself lately (mostly due to girl brain and feeling fat...), but there have been some amazing shows that really have me feeling that fashion itch again.  

Ryan Roche is a designer I fell in love with after the last NYFW.  Her wonderful piling-on of knits makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over.  Here are a few of my fav looks from his S/S 2016 show:





A collection that I totally fell in love with was Prabal Gurung.  So pretty and so feminine with really cool cut outs showing just little slivers of skin and I'm all about the sheer look.  I have always loved it and I still do.  Here are a few of my favorite looks:







AND SEAMS.  I've normally leaned towards designs that are singular in fabric construction but differentiated by their ability to create structure without looking hard and boring.  I can't believe I'm saying this, but Carolina Herrara might be my FAVORITE SHOW.  Something different is happening there and I LOVE IT.  Here are my favorites.





OMG SLAY.  SO AMAZING.  Stay tuned for my NYFW summary of trends that are coming!  So much more to review and talk about!!

OBSESS: Fall Shoe Favorites

The summer is fading.  No matter how much we wish it would stay, it's slipping away.  BUT that means it's time to pull out FALL FAVORITES.  Fall clothes are my favorite.  I love pulling out that fuzzy sweater and my skinny jeans.  I love breaking out the suede and cashmere!  And better yet, I love not having to cover it up with a bulky, puffer jacket.

Fall stuff has hit stores already and there are a few pairs of kicks that have been OBSESSED.  Let's start with the Aquazzura Christy flats.  If there's an IT shoe this season, these have got to be them.



I can't stop thinking about them.
It's taking over my life.
I can't sleep...though I can surprisingly still eat...

While I feel like they're starting to take over Instagram which means that they're almost on the brink of mainstream...but I still love them.  The pointed toe makes them feel a little more fashion forward, while the lace-up feels delicate and classic like a ballet slipper.  Be prepared to drop some dough- $675 for these beauties.

My favorite boot of all time has to be the Alexander Wang Sigrid Boot.  I bought these boots a few years ago and even today, after years of stretching them and trudging them through the salt-ridden snowy mush streets of NYC, they're still snuggly fit against my legs and I get compliments on them all the time.


These boots are a staple in the Alexander Wang shoe collection and will set you back about $1,050.  They are WORTH IT.  The day that mine finally die, I'll be re-upping.

I love black as much as the next girl, but I do realize that my wardrobe needs color sometimes.  Garance Doré recently shared these burgundy beauties by Jil Sander on her site and I'm loving them, too.



Coming in under $500, these are available now for $420.

Do you have any Obsessions for Fall that you're dying to get your hands on??  If so, tell me about them!  A girl can never have too many pairs of shoes....right???

Ogle: Alison Lou Jewelry

Every now and then I find something that is just so spectacular that I can't look away.  Recently, while poking around on Instagram, I ran into Alison Lou Jewelry.  The piece that pulled me in wasn't even that weird.  It was a really cute "Mrs." Ring.  I think she's kind of known for them.  They're adorable:


She does these rings in white, yellow, and rose gold and you can choose your initial and the stone.  Loved it.  Upon further investigation, it turns out that Alison Lou isn't really just about this sappy, just married, new initial flinging audience.  She's WAY more than that.

Enter into her world of emoji jewelry.  Beware that you can get sucked in quickly.  Her stuff is all super whimsical and hilarious.  Like this Sh!t ring.  I LOVE IT SO MUCH.  I CAN'T LOOK AWAY.



She does a lot with emotional smileys, I'm a big fan of the Smiley stud...


 


And this really cute Celebration bracelet!




Downside?  This stuff is expensive.  They're not timeless enough that I want to sink a couple thousand dollars into them, but I do think they're really amazing and really cute.  While I start to feel kind of cliché for liking the Mrs. rings, that's actually the one item that I would probably pay the price for.  What do you think?  Would you rock that Shit right?? :)
