I’m picking out some of my favorite pieces from the runways of New York Fashion Week to share. I can’t WAIT to see these (or variations of these outfits) hit the racks in my favorite stores. The Arise collection is just so ethereal.

Naomi says
Love the pink lace. The top dress is fab, too, but I think you’d have to be a tall girl to get away with that color blocking.
Zippy says
Naomi – this collection is so YOU. It’s retro looking, yet with a modern edge.

I agree, it’s something that you’d scour resale shops for.
Zippy says
Yes, so do I. It’s nice to see fashions that are more WEARABLE at the shows.

LOL – I think a camisole would definitely be in order on that dress.
Zippy says
I just want to have the figure to WEAR that dress. It’s absolutely elegant.
Zippy says
I can so see you in those dresses Jenn – especially the vintage looking pink one.
