# 7: Trunk Show

I work in a boutique back home (in the tiny state of Connecticut) and now is just about the time that June brides start to really get things ready for their wedding! As stated before, I am obsessed with weddings and everything included with them. I am sort of nervous (as my family must be too) that I will be a bridezilla. All I can say to that, is well, if the show fits...wear it! In reality though, to my family, no worries...I promise I won't be one of those brides!

Loreal Melbourne Fashion Festival 2011 was shown on March 19th, 2011. It showcased some designers like Luci Dibella, Lisa Ho, Charlie Brown, Judith Valente, and Baccini & Hill. The reason why I love this trunk show is because it  not only features amazing dresses that I have officially envisioned myself in for my wedding, but the photographs from the show were perfect to showcase these dresses. I feel that when I  get to that time to be planning my wedding, I am going to really start looking at different trunk shows to plan my wedding.
How early is too early to plan for a wedding? This is going to be something to buy in the future...a girl can never be too early to plan!

Don't forget the silver sixpence for your shoe!! (Oh! Don't think I don't know them all!)

#6: Video Fashion Show

Who does not love an Alexander McQueen runway show?


Even though this is a bit older, Alexander McQueen's Spring/Summer 2005 show really blew my mind. This was the show that really made me believe that fashion can be put anywhere you want it to. Alexander McQueen was a highly intelligent man who knew fashion. His fashion shows were not the typical ones, but he inspired so many other designers to step outside of the box and present a fashion show like no other one.

How about TWO Alexander McQueen runway shows?



This fashion show was one that really did change the world of fashion. Alexander McQueen's Fall/Winter 2006 hologram of Kate Moss was so inspiring. I was excited for the time I would be able to get to see a fashion show that included a hologram. I was very happy that this was done before Alexander McQueen passed away. Only McQueen would be able to make this happen with such grace and poise. Even though Kate Moss is seen as a controversial figure with her being known with an eating disorder, this fashion show put her in a new light that many needed to see of her.
Once lost, but never forgotten! Long live McQueen!
Even in the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens...McQueen will always be there!

#5: Fall 2012 Color Trend

With the changing of the leaves, pretty greens are turning into reds, oranges and yellows. Ah, fall has arrived! As you can tell, I love the color red as a popping color. Red, especially Burgundy and Zinfandel, is the color people should be looking to buy for the fall 2012 season. Personally, up until last year, I have not been able to pull off red. The best part about red in fall is it leads right into winter. Lets be real...who does not love a color that can work for multiple seasons? I know I do! Be fierce...go red!!!
Who doesn't love a good red or orange to pop up your wardrobe?

Isn't this a pretty site? Who would not want to have an outfit inspired by this?
Any pop of red makes a statement!

#4: Fashion Trend from NY Street

It is officially the first day of October. People officially feel that Fall is here. Changing weather, changing leaves, and for some people changing attitudes are what bring them into the new season. Of course, the first day of October brought rain. However, even rain did not stop smiles and laughter on people's faces. Well, the ones who had umbrellas and jackets at least. My favorite trend for fall is having the ability to layer with a jacket. The best part about it is if you are too hot, you take the jacket off and when you get cold, you put it right back on. All types of jackets were seen out this afternoon. From jean jackets, rain jackets, or my favorite, the classic leather jacket. A leather jacket just can make any outfit seem so fierce. 

Right off of 30th and 9th I ran into this woman who had an amazing metallic gold leather jacket on. I was in love with this jacket (and would love to be able to find it...there must be an app for that!)


I was able to catch this student on the run from the rain. Her jacket looked like a great classic leather jacket. She completed her look with an equally amazing leather purse.

I was actually able to catch this musician while crossing the street. His jacket accompanied with his outfit and accessories reminded me of a musician. Every type of person should have a leather jacket. 

I was able to catch this woman while she was running from the rain. I loved how her jacket had a hood and  it seemed to keep her dry. Multi-use jacket? (I really am starting to look into an app to find where people got their clothing from!)

So many people are happy in the rain. I found this couple walking by Penn Station. Her jacket seemed to be keeping her dry and her husband enjoyed being protected by his umbrella. Can you say singing and dancing in the rain? I wish all people were like this!

I found this couple waiting for a taxi by Penn Station...both with a leather jacket. No matter the occasion, the season, or the weather, a leather jacket is a great piece to have to go along with any outfit. 

Oh! One last picture. I believe that every blogger should be showcasing their trend on themselves. So, after walking in the rain and showing my favorite trend, I finished my route in my kitchen and using the timer on my camera, showed that everyone needs deserves a nice leather jacket. (I hope the open umbrella indoors's rule still doesn't make me have seven years of bad luck!!) So through rain and clouds, walk to your own beat and sing your own tune and you will surely find the sun!
