Dazed and Excused: NYFW S/S 2013

I'm back, and there's not much I can say that isn't summed up in the following photographs. New York Fashion Week was just as I had hoped it would be and more. Although I wasn't quite expecting the heat upon my arrival (last year's photos really threw me off), the weather quickly cooled down after a sudden tornado blew through. This trip gave me the chance to see my love of fashion and photography come to life in a New York minute thanks to my friend, Jay, and my new friend, Dennis.

What I Learned at Fashion Week:

• No matter how fabulous everyone else looks running around in 5-inch heels, wear your comfy shoes.
• Models are genetic mutants or robots. Where do they find all these incredibly tall, beautiful, and skinny people?
• Do not try to steal Getty's space in the press area. You will not succeed.
• Oh, and don't blink, because you might miss a celebrity sighting.
  

Rebecca Taylor F/W 2012

I've been keeping my eye on Rebecca Taylor because she seems to have all the workings I love about French style but with the accessibility of the States. Her layering and perfectly oversized coats have made my heart skip a couple of beats since checking out her newest collection. While her Spring collection was bright, light, and flowy, her latest season is dark and moody yet maintains a chic coolness. I would wear every look (and possibly add a neon scarf to the mix).

She even has a boot strikingly similar to IM's Dickers but with a neon pink lining!
