Best of New York Fashion Week - Fall 2010

 New York Fashion week was full of grays, furs, vests, longer skirts and menswear.  Here are a few of my favorites to keep an eye out for when you are perusing the stores for your next big purchase.


Calvin Klein: A great way to still wear white after Labor Day.  This coat is so artistic and a great addition to any wardrobe.

Oscar de la Renta: This dress is so classic with a modern twist.  I love layering around the middle and the longer skirt.  This dress will flatter most body types.

Michael Kors:  I am totally digging the leggings on this outfit.  It's a nice change from the standard tights with a cute knee length skirt.  He has a totally wearable line this fall with knits for layering , loose skirts and some really great jackets and coats. 




  
 
Diane von Furstenberg: Strong menswear influence.  Love it all around!

6 Rules For Accessorizing

O's creative director, Adam Glassman, offers simple guidelines for letting your accessories shine.


Items shown clockwise, from top left:

1. Your necklace should be working for you—a long strand that hits just below the bust makes you look taller and leaner.
Gold-plated faux-crystal necklace, Jennifer Miller Jewelry, $150

2. Not sure when "finishing touch" becomes "overkill"? You can never go wrong with a stack of skinny bangles.
Gold-plated bangles with faux diamonds, Jennifer Miller Jewelry, $45 for set of three

3. Don't be afraid to add something disarmingly bold and masculine—like this oversize watch—into the mix.
Rose-gold-plated stainless steel watch, DKNY, $155

4. Try wearing just one big, memorable piece. A wide cuff like this can easily become your calling card.
Antiqued gold-plated brass cuff, Zara Terez, $125

5. When shopping for earrings, consider the shape of your face: Pendants look best when yours is round or square. Studs, buttons, or short drop earrings offset a long or oval face. Hoops are always a good choice.
Glass and resin earrings, Olivia Stone, $118

6. A ring should flatter your fingers. Narrow bands or styles that extend toward the knuckle make your digits appear longer; thin fingers can pull off a wider style.
