What We Love: Shoes

Fashion Week has to be the best time to check out all the amazing shoes out there. How do you ever pick a favorite? Pumps, flats, slingbacks, kitten heels, platform, peep toe, loafers, knee high boots, ankle boots and of course, the stiletto.

Phillip Lim: The Best Kind of After Party

 

While we knew that Phillip Lim's after party, fashion party, was a hip hop party, what we didn't know, is what that really meant was a full-on dance party. Last night at The Soho Grand Hotel, we were all in the penthouse dancing between the bedrooms and the terrace overlooking the city while Phillip's show played on the flat screen TV next to the living room dance floor. This might go down in our books as our favorite after party EVER.

What We're Seeing: Bow Ties

We think the men are looking particularly dapper this year at the tents sporting the bow tie, a staple of men's fashion for years and by the looks of it, the accessory of choice amongst gentlemen this season.

What We're Seeing: Ankle Boots

At last season's fashion week, the ankle boot--worn with opaque tight or leggings--was the footwear of choice among fashion show goers. We see that fashionistas continue to rock the trend six months later, pairing them with skinny jeans, short dresses and bubble skirts.

What We're Seeing: Hardware

Decorative hardware was out in full force among the fashion flock's wardrobes this week. We saw heavy metal details--buckles, spikes, studs, grommets, and zippers--on everything from skirts to shoes to jackets. The glam rockstar vibe--when done right--never goes out of style.
