New York Fashion Week started on September 10, 2016, and calling it a rainy day is an understatement! Torrential downpour might be a better way to describe the crazy weather!

After leaving 102 degrees behind in the San Francisco Bay Area, and arriving in New York to a cool 80-something, the rain was welcomed. The only challenging part was trying to make my way from show to show in the rain!

The logistics for fashion week are downright insane. I spent half the day in a cab or Uber car. There were a few moments when I found myself walking a little bit too much in the rain; and high heels. I was on my feet from roughly 8:30am to 10pm. It was a long day and my heels were as comfortable as high heels can be. Thank goodness for the chunky heel trend!

Day one of New York Fashion Week was a fun one! I saw Nicholas K, Leanne Marshall, Marissa Webb, Malan Breton, and Yuma Yang. Justin Nunez went to Desigual and photographed the show for me since it was at the same time as Marissa Webb. His photos are amazing, I cannot wait to share them with you!

Since it was a long day, wearing culottes and chunky heels was a comfortable yet city-chic way to get through the day. I felt dressed up yet un-fussy. I never thought I would wear culottes, and here I am! Yikes! I actually like them, is something wrong with me?

Leanne Marshall sent her spring/summer 2016 collection down the New York Fashion Week runway on September 10, 2015 at The Art Beam in New York. The collection was ethereal; featuring dreamy blues, shadowy blacks, and mystic garden greens. Loved it!

The dreamy collection evoked a fairyland vibe; taking you into dewy spring gardens. The fabrications were flowing and soft; perfecting the dream-garden look of the collection. The finale dress was a beautiful way to capture Mother Nature.

I fell in love with the blue segment of Leanne Marshall’s spring 2016 collection. The blue and white ombre set on soft, flowing fabrics was incredible. I wish my photos turned out better so I could share their true beauty with you!

Cheers to seeing Leanne Marshall’s spring 2016 collection hit store shelves next season. I need something blue from her collection in my life.

Nicholas K showed their spring and summer 2016 collection at New York Fashion Week yesterday. The spring and summer 2016 collection was earthy, yet strong; offering an unstructured look for spring which is very true to Nicholas K’s aesthetic.

The collection was filled with loose, draping silhouettes, and accents of rope and brass. There was beautiful ombre, chambray, and neutral hues. It was brilliant! I am in love with arm cuffs!

This is in line with the trend we are seeing in ombre, denim, and neutral hues. Although the spring 2016 collection features these current trends, the collection transcends seasonal trends and offers timeless appeal through fabrication choices, silhouette, and styling. Love that!
