Fashion week! Links and things

It’s fashion week!

Sadly, I am participating solely through the Internet, but, hey, I have the best seat in the house. Thanks to Cut Blog, I’m catching up on shows from my couch with a coffee. And can I just say, I’d give up all my lipsticks for the chance to wear the color in the Jason Wu show. And look at this bag at rag & bone! So good, that piping. Also loving this look, with orange and an awesome gray jacket, two of my favorite things. (For more awesome jackets and layers see Vena Cava, in a little bit more polished goodness).

My orange love affair from the summer thankfully will be back again come spring, as seen in Peter Som’s show. I’m loving the Peter Som prints! And color blocking! May that trend never die. Seen here again in Rachel Comey. Also at Rachel Comey? Some more pretty fun prints. Which were also seen in Cynthia Rowley. And Richard Chai LOVE. And in a polished, girly, gorgeous way at Wes Gordon. The thing I love most about crazy colors and patterns, is that it gives people an opportunity to have some fun. Even if you don’t want to wear every one, people are more comfortable with whimsy and risks, and that is something I can support completely. And also why I’m SO glad people are loving the Miu Miu glitter booties, even though I am not, in fact, in love with the booties themselves. (Shhh! Don’t tell!).
