Last week at NYFW, QVC presented Rachel Zoe and Isaac Mizrahi on a live broadcast in the tents. Rachel Zoe showed her patent trenches, which are great for any season and occasion, faux fur vests that are easily paired with any outfit and vintage style drop earrings and necklaces that are the missing piece to any look. Isaac’s lace overlay dress is just too cute and affordable, the structured leather handbag is perfect for day or night and the teardrop bib necklace can be thrown on over any casual look to carry it that extra mile. New York Girl Style was invited to participate in the QVC show and I was selected to cover the show and tweet live from the tents. Shoppers had a sweet treat by providing style for purchasing the trendy sale designer pieces. We loved the designers QVC pieces go to:http://bit.ly/QVCShoptheRunway for more sweet deals.

Cynthia Steffe

admin — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 15:23:23 +0000

Cynthia Steffe’s impressive Spring 2010 collection was the charmed third effort for the designer. After two previous collections, Steffe has finally found the difficult balance of femininity and structure. Ruffled dresses made many appearances, but they were skillfully paired with belts, vests, and shoes that gave the look that added sense of cool. The pinks, grays, and other earth tones kept the collection from looking too over-the-top in its girlishness. Steffe’s Spring collection represents the current fashion trends with its eclectic style and accessible sensibility. It is a collection for the modern, hip, but unfussy woman.

admin — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:02:07 +0000

Downtown rocker-ballerinas rejoice! Charlotte Ronson’s Spring 2010 collection was created with you in mind. The fun and girly line still kept a bit of Ronson’s tougher edge for a collection that’s modern and relevant. With their ballet-inspired buns, the models showcased looks from matchstick pants paired with flannel to pink dresses with bows. Ronson clearly knows her audience: young women, who want to have fun with fashion, but still want to appear as though their calculated combination of soft and hard is completely effortless.

Jill Stuart Spring Top 5 Runway Trends Spring 2010

admin — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:17:13 +0000

Jill Stuart is taking her audience on a fashion adventure – and it’s not for the faint of heart. Her Spring 2010 collection is meant to show off a woman’s body with its daringly short, shoulder-baring dresses. The collection is bright and strong, and definitely not for anyone who wants to blend in with the crowd. From a colorful animal print one-shoulder dress to a sleeveless white studded dress, the one thing all the pieces have in common is strength. The only break from this in-you-face collection is the Greek-inspired white dress that offsets the tough, colorful aesthetic of the other dresses with its softness. The Jill Stuart looks are fresh, feminine, and stylish for your spring wardrobe.

Also fresh and feminine are tips from Barbara, our style editor. She identified 5 key runway trends that you can put into your own wardrobe this spring:

1. Bright Accents- make a statement by adding color in your emsemble

2. Embellishments/Beading- dress it up by adding something bold.

3. One shoulder Dresses- have fun by being romantic or sexy.

4. Micro mini/cut out silhouettes- accentuate your assets.

5. White- a must have basic color one needs in their closet.

Haute Hippie

admin — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 17:42:28 +0000

Haute Hippie is a line with spirit. The flowing silhouettes and smart use of sequins makes the clothing seem carefree and lighthearted, but still with a high-fashion edge, which is exactly what the name invokes. The fun and eclectic clothing has already become a favorite of celebrities, but its accessible sense of cool is appropriate for just about anyone.

The Haute Hippie collection is defined by sequin lounge shorts, swinging tops and elaborately sequined dresses. As the designers declare, “Haute Hippie is a love affair with clothing, inspiration, design, and creativity.” Each piece can be dressed up or worn casual for every girl’s styling events. You have the freedom to style their clothes and look fabulous for each special occasion.

Preen

admin — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 15:08:35 +0000

Preen, already one of Britain’s hippest labels, has made its way to New York. The duo behind the label, Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi, started designing in 1996, and now, more than a decade later, American fashion enthusiasts are learning one of Britain’s best-kept secrets.

Preen’s main line is strong yet feminine, and of course effortlessly cool. The hot pink column dress exudes confidence in both its bright color and daring silhouette. It’s a perfect fit for a stylish night out in any city. The taupe pleated dress, slightly different in structure and entirely different in color, has the same powerful effect. In 2008, the pair launched a more affordable diffusion line, Preen Line. The pieces are available at www.net-a-porter.com. This line is young and fun with its accessible and flexible cotton dresses, but keeps the same British elegance as the high-end line. .
