CentralPark

Woke up early and strolled through Times Square, this is a must for me.  In the morning time it is so quiet but everything is so big and you can really just take it all in and not get carried away in the hustle and bustle.  We got to Central Park and were breath taken with the snow and bare trees, atop of the rocks you really see how beautiful the park is!  Strolling through the park is the most serene thing for me in the City because its were you see everything!  Then we went to Laduree and got some macarons and then I window shopped the heck out of Oscar De La Renta because I adore his designs and the windows are so beautiful!
Always remember to appreciate designers, yea you may not buy out the store or anything at all but it is art in a more wearable setting, and are worth appreciating!

Rockefeller Center!

Took a night time stroll through Rockefeller Center!  I love this place, like everywhere else in NYC!  I love the trees that are lit up, what seems like year round and the magic of the ice skating!  It it such a monumental place with its own energy and space!  We walked up 7th Ave and I read almost every one of the stones for Fashion Ave's walk of fame.  This was so cool to me just reading about all of the various designers most of which I was familiar with and some others that I had no clue about!  I had to take a picture with my most favorite Oscar de La Renta.

NYFWSS14

New York Fashion Week SS14 last week was amazing keeping up with, on social networking of course.  My two favorite shows were Ralph Lauren and Oscar De La Renta (even though they were not part of Fashion Week, their presentation took place the same week).  Both presentations for SS14 were very different however they both stood out to me as the two bomb shells of the week.  Each designer had the same idea with the color schemes and went for the bright and neon theme.  However both had such different takes on the similar color scheme and to me that contrast is the beauty in fashion. I loved Ralph Lauren's soft fabrics, sleek looks, bold cuts and perfect fits. Oscar De La Renta line was pure magic although I am biased, he has always been a personal favorite. ODLR used such a variety of textures and patterns giving each design a certain edge while being so magically feminine.  The line of the skirts for each designer gave each outfit a wonderful flare with either keeping it simple and straight or adding a little ruffle or adding a high-low to a lace or snake skin resembling gown.   Everything was stand out look at me but then there are all of these minute characteristics that make every look just magical!

 I know it can be depressing to look at these shows because the realistic option of wearing any of it is slim, however most other company's pul their inspiration from these high scale designers, so it does effect your wardrobe inevitably.  Not to mention these people are creating art with every piece and are paving American Fashion History, it is definitely something to take notice of. 

Fashion week draws thousands and everyone is booming with glamour, fashion, trends, and unique outfits it is so much fun to just see the street style that revolves around Fashion Week.
