Ola! On Day 5 of NYFW, it was all about presentations for me, including stops by Laquan Smith’s Fall 2013 collection and Alice + Olivia’s showing downtown. I decided to calm it on the prints for the day and just wear classic black and white, adding interest with a fringed Thakoon dress and a contrast collar Rag & Bone blazer (can you tell how much I love R&B?)

The outfit was pretty understated, so I slipped on a pair of statement shoes (these DSquared Raso Boots to be exact).

In between shows, I stopped at Cookshop, a fun little restaurant on the West Side, conveniently located close to a lot of off site venues.

Then I was off (expect to see this Theory Cassius coat a lot. It’s warm and sorta goes with everything!)

Simple, classic. What do you think of this look?

In the midst of Fashion Week and Grammy madness, we still have to bring you our regular features! Take a look at today’s Bombshell, Nikki from Austin, Texas:

She writes, “I blog my style diary at ChanelWears.com.”

” My style is eclectic, casual…”

“…girlie, and colorful.”


” I love color, prints, patterns…”

“…and mixing and matching textures.”


” I’d like to say I just wear what feels right for the day…”


“… but I’m that girl that sits in the closet in the morning for hours trying to put something together.”


” After over complicating my outfit…”

“…I usually scale everything down and these effortless looks come to life.”

Casually cute, and your hair is gorgeous!

On Sunday I had an interview with Tracy Reese on schedule, along with the Diane von Furstenberg and Y-3 shows.
If I can, I like to wear a piece from at least one designers I’m going to see, so offset an Etro printed shirt with a Diane von Furstenberg skirt.

My Valentino shoes are always a staple, and I completed my look with a Diane von Furstenberg zebra printed Tonda clutch.

To walk in between shows, I chose my Theory Cassius coat, and shielded the sun in Prada Baroque sunglasses.

Hot! or Hmm…?

The weather is NYC is simply not cooperating with fashion week, though show attendees are making the most of it, splashing color and patterns onto wintry looks. With a strong focus on outerwear and cold weather accessories, ladies and gents have managed to look rather stylish:

 

Check out our best picks from day 3:

 

It’s all about a great coat and shoes! These two young ladies looked lovely in blue colored jackets and metallic heels.

 

This young man simply wasn’t playing around! He pulled a turtleneck over his face for extra warmth.

These two Fashion Bomb readers punched up black looks with neon separates, studded boots, and coated jeans.

 

Layering is oh so essential: these ladies places skirts over pants and chunky scarves over multiple sweaters.

 

Plays on proportions made these black looks interesting.

 

This diva worked with different colors of houndstooth, yet tempered her look down with a black coat and boots.

 

 

Talk about a pair of stylish snow ready boots! This young stylist looked ready for anything in white and light brown tones.

Black on black always works.

 

A stud covered leather jacket uplifted a pleated white maxi skirt.

Lastly, while designer Tracy Reese called a car, industry veteran Bethann Hardison smiled for our cameras in a furry hat and loose fit jeans.

On Day 3 of New York Fashion Week, I was definitely in a chill mode.

The city was covered in snow and slush, it was a Saturday…at any rate, Marta M stole a few quick pix of my ‘off duty’ casual look.

To battle the cold, I wore tights under my All Saints leather biker pants (first worn here), and slipped on a Givenchy Men’s Fall 2012 striped sweatshirt.

I covered up in a Helmut Lang for Intermix jacket, and offered my interpretation of reasonable footwear in a pair of Altuzarra booties (they weren’t reasonable—I went home limping a couple hours later).

After the snow had subsided, it was actually pretty bright out, so I ditched my umbrella and stopped into the GAP for a trendy pair of mirrored frames.

Then it was backstage for Hervé Leger by Max Azria.

Happy Saturday!
So on Day 2 of Fashion Week, NYC was walloped by Winter Storm Nemo, which dumped loads of freezing rain (then snow) onto the city. Since my first show of the day, Sally LaPointe, was at Pier 57, I knew I had to bundle up with my All Saints Wilkin Down jacket and Zara pants.

After the show, I texted an Uber cab to pick me up and take me to my next destination.

Haven’t heard of Uber? It’s an on demand luxury car service, with stations in San Francisco, LA, Atlanta, New York, and more. Basically you text Uber an address (or send a request via the Uber app)…

… and a car comes and picks you up within minutes.

Uber charges your credit card on file, so no money is exchanged (tip is included). I’ve been using Uber like a champ all of fashion week, as I have a lot of offsite shows. It works like a dream!

At any rate, I had my Uber driver drop me off by Lincoln Center so I could eat and blog a bit.

I decompressed in a Peter Pilotto Fall 2012 top along with Peter Pilotto x Nicholas Kirkwood pumps.

What do you think?
Stay tuned for more instances from my fashion week adventures, along with street style.

We’re ending our week with Janet from Toronto:

She writes, “[I am a] curvy lady who is passionate about fancy clothes and creating clothes. Check me out here: www.janetdolce.com“

“My style is very conservative.”


“…I love tailored blazers, coats and trousers, and I’m always in heels.”


” For my curvier body type, I always looked to Kim Kardashian and Beyonce for Style Inspiration…”


“… but this is when I realized I was limiting myself to what I thought would work for me.”


” So now it’s more conservative with a touch of punk rock in it.”


” I do follow trends because for me that is living in the present…”


“… the way I play around with whats trending is what individualizes me.”


“I dont shop for just anything.”


” Some of my pieces I have had for years and just bring them out when I missed them and add a touch new to it.”


“I love fashion from the 50’s and often dress up to feel elegant.”

OK! I think your style description is spot on. I love your conservative looks, particularly your white top and black leather pants.

So we’re adding fuel to to the fire of Fashion Bomb TV, and decided to kick off our first episode of 2013 with a backstage view of BCBG Max Azria’s Fall 2013 show:

It was an early day for me (we starting filming at 6am!), but I think we pulled it together:) Look below for a few behind the scenes shots and an interview with BCBG creative director Lubov Azria about her inspirations for this season:

Morning ladies!
BCBG Max Azria was kind enough to invite us backstage for their show on Day 1 of New York Fashion Week, so I decided to wear a complete look from their Spring 2013 collection to attend the festivities:

Yes, the conservative Suzy tried a print on print, particularly BCBG’s Anderson woven blouse and matching Landon floral print pants.

To combat the cold, I slipped on a J.Crew wool coat.

And threw my Ipad and invites into a yellow Ipad case by Gigi New York.

I signed some autographs… (kidding, Elle.com took my picture. I was giving the photog my name).

Then I was off to my next show.

What do you think of my first attempt at head-to-toe prints?
