NYFW: JENNI KAYNE [fall 2011]










NYFW has officially began, and although I envy those that are there in NY right now for the shows, I get to live vicarously through websites and blogs that are covering the shows this year. Fashionista.com did a review of Jenni Kayne's Fall  2011 Show here. This is the first time I've heard of this designer, but I'm loving her designs.

What inspired me from Jenni's collection:
the simplicity
> the luxe fabrics - the texture spectrum is amazing. I especially love how she paired contrasting textures like a maxi sik skirt and a bulky sweater. Love.
> the colors. especially that bright pink/magenta color and the gold/silver paired together, and of course, beige. Beige is hard to pull off because you want to find just the right shade so it flatters your skin tone, not washes you out. I'm still looking for my shade of beige, and this inspires me to renew my efforts on my hunt for my beige wardrobe addition.
> the pink lips. Although this is the fall line, I've been thinking about trying the pink lips this spring. Just like the beige above, I just need to find my shade. I was thinking light pink, but this bright pink seems so much daring and tempting now. I've been wearing the red lip quite often lately, so I'm super excited to try the pink in the future.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Sorry for the absense on the blog as of late. I've been busy working on another project - a different blog, it's still about fashion, but a different part of the fashion industry. I'm quite excited about it, but haven't yet revealed it to the public. It's still very much a work in progress! :)
