New York Fashion Week: Fall/Winter 2012

Ok, dolls, it's that time again!  Fashion Week in NYC kicked off last Thursday and we've been catching up with some of our favorites over at www.elle.com.  Here's a few highlights to provide you with some excitement and to prepare you for what's in store for this Fall and Winter fashion season.  From what we can tell, it looks like color blocking and leather will still be pretty big so you may want to start hitting those sale racks now. Check back Friday for more from some of our other favorite designers!

Bridal Market Recap: Carolina Herrera

Somewhat classic and somewhat edgy, the Carolina Herrera Fall 2012 collection is perfect for the modern, yet traditional, bride.  Complete with beautiful eyelet details, fun unexpected color, romantic tulle ballgowns, and dramatic textures this collection was certainly a stand out one for us.  This collection is a more timeless option than some others we've featured and one we think will universally popular.

Bridal Market Week Recaps: Jenny Packham

When we saw Kate Middleton in that exquisitely beaded pink Jenny Packham dress back in June we secretly hoped that it might be a hint towards where the designer's Fall 2012 Bridal Collection was headed. And, needless to say, we certainly weren't disappointed. A little bit Gatsby, a little bit goddess, and even a little bit medieval, the Jenny Packham collection is the perfect mix of vintage elegance and bohemian charm.  We love love love this designer and the antique quality of these dresses, complete with intricate beading and a romantic sparkle that is truly glamorous.  This collection is so fantastic that we had a hard time choosing just eight pics, so be sure to click the link to brides.com to view all 30 equally gorgeous dresses!
