marais usa fall 2013
i know it’s the middle of fashion week and all, but i had to take a moment to share that the marais usa fall 2013 collection is out! and once again, they’ve got an equally cute campaign to go with their new fall shoes. they’ve got a great selection of their classics: charming flats, loafers, and ankle boots in fun colors and leopard prints! they’ve also got some pretty darling ankle strap heels for fancier occasions. i think my favorites are the bow slippers and twinkle heels!

giantlion fall 2013
i had been eagerly anticipating the release of the giantlion fall 2013 lookbook after they posted a little preview on their facebook page, but somehow missed it in all of my baby madness this week! it’s been really fun watching this brand evolve over the past couple of years, and i must say, the new pieces are so elegant and understated (which is exactly what i look for in jewelry) and the photographs capture them so perfectly. in fact, everything looks so good that i am now faced with a very lucky conundrum: which piece do i want the most?!

vivetta fall 2013
while browsing the web, i came across the new vivetta fall 2013 collection and i think i’m in love. she’s continued with her iconic hand collars that we’ve seen the last few season, but this time, she’s added whimsical bows and red lip appliques to this very bold collection. there’s a huge range of fun and interesting silhouettes in this massive collection, meaning there’s definitely something for everyone. i’m actually having a hard time picking a favorite look, but if hard pressed to pick just one piece, it would probably be one of those daring ’60s-inspired shift dresses with scalloped edging down the front. and i can’t get over this model, doesn’t she look like a very tall, modern version of anna karina?

lauren moffatt fall 2013
you may remember my photos from the lauren moffatt fall 2013 presentation back in february (see them here). well, today i thought i’d share my favorites from the pretty fall lookbook and a few more looks that weren’t featured in the presentation. the collection was inspired by a weekend away in the catskills of new york, and it’s got plenty of my favorite signature lauren moffatt looks: bright colors, fun prints, pretty lace details, and a perfect mix of textiles like silk, cotton, wool, and leather.

betina lou fall 2013
since i teased you by mentioning the new betina lou fall 2013 collection in yesterday’s post, i figured i might as well share it with you! fall is creeping up on us and, as always, it’ll be here before we know it. and there’s something kinda fun about that back-to-school time of year when all of the stores have folders and crayons on sale. brings me back to those days when i would lay out my outfit the night before the first day of school. and while i’m still trying to collect clothes to keep me through the summer, it’s kinda fun to start planning for fall. and i just love the subtle mix of tartan and deep dark shades in classic silhouettes and luxurious fabrics like silk, boiled wool, and viyella cotton in this timeless collection.

it’s ok my dear fall 2013
i know i’ve been on a roll sharing spring lookbooks, but today i couldn’t resist sharing the it’s ok my dear fall 2013 collection. this brooklyn-based brand got it’s start in 2010 by fit graduate ashley cheeks. and for her latest shoot, she teamed up with photographer anna li and model rachel trachtenburg (of supercute! fame) with hair and makeup by brittany romney. the result is a super cool spread featuring cute cat pockets on delicate silk blouses balanced with warm wool shorts and coats for a sweet and sassy fall wardrobe. and what’s even better, is that every piece is lovingly hand-made in new york! and if you don’t want to wait for fall to get a cute cat dress, you can shop the spring collection right here.

tata naka fall 2013
keeping in tune with the 1950s theme, today i thought i’d share photos from the tata naka fall 2013 presentation. you know i’m a sucker for a creative presentation, so of course, this high-school themed show caught my eye right away. i love the cool 80s does 50s rockabilly vibes with impeccable styling and amazing colors. the color-blocked cheerleader-inspired dresses are the coolest grown up iteration of those uniforms i remember from my pre-teen days, and those retro bouffants are making me wish i had a live-in hairdresser so i could walk around with a perfectly coiffed do like that every day.

rachel antonoff fall 2013
every season, i always eagerly anticipate the rachel antonoff presentations. so this february, i was a little surprised that she decided not to show! but after the release of her short film for the collection directed by lena dunham, i can now see what she was up to instead. of the collection, antonoff states, “the inspiration for the collection was the concept of best friends, a time honored, strange practice that really fascinates me. i am always inspired by my best friends and it made me think about the concept at large!” and the motif is clearly seen throughout. from the educational documentary-style film featuring the silly quirks of a set of best friends, to the lookbook modeled by the film’s stars, wearing coordinating prints and cute little heart lockets. i’m particularly loving the styling with those cute wool caps and wire frame glasses. and don’t forget to watch the film here!

honor fall 2013
one show i’m still kicking myself for missing was honor fall 2013. it is easily one of my favorite collections from the shows at new york fashion week. i mean really, how can you resist that opening number? a pepto bismol pink set adorned with heart-shaped jewels? i’m already sold. the heart theme was seen throughout the collection in unexpected cutouts on pant legs and sleeves, in graphic prints and brocades, and even in those exaggerated peter pan collars. the bright acid colors and sickly sweet pinks were balanced out with black and a very intriguing shade of pale pistachio green. and even though there were lots of feminine elements, the clean lines and silhouettes kept things from being overly girlish. i’ll take it all, please!

gretchen jones fall 2013
today i thought i’d share a few of my favorite looks from the gretchen jones fall 2013 collection. inspired by poet diane di prima’s “recollections of my life as a woman: the new york years,” she continues to showcase her southwestern roots, this time with a much more urban influence. i may not describe my style as bohemian, but i love the vintage inspiration behind the easy, draped silhouettes and intricate prints, harkening back to the late sixties and early seventies. and speaking of prints, the custom textiles this season were created in collaboration with fine artists rosalyn bodycomb, creating that perfect balance between downtown sophistication and modern romanticism. beyond pushing the envelope and creating a truly unique collection, i love that gretchen jones is dedicated to ethical and eco-friendly business practices, reducing waste and producing her collections domestically. browsing through the huge collection, i can certainly see myself sporting the black and yellow geometric bodice dress above, or a certain little ascot dress below!
