BETSEY

Betsey Johnson makes fashion week more exciting. I have never wanted a neon guns and roses printed sweater so badly. Here's the show:

Fashion Week! New York!

If only I lived closer to NY and had money and fabulous clothes. Then I would be so happy this week! I have really loved a lot of the designs I've seen from NYFW but I think my top favorites are Jenny Packham, Victoria Beckham, and Rodarte.

Jenny Packham's Gatsby/'20s style inspired line is to die for. The colors from deep burgundy to bright corally-orange are on point and I'm loving the mix of gowns, formal sweaters, and silk pants. The only thing that I'm not so thrilled with are the feather coats which as other critics have said, look a bit like a skinned muppet. But at the same time they fit the collection and the colors are muted enough that the coats aren't too in your face (besides their size). One of my favorite dresses from the collection is this:

Victoria Beckham's collection was as impeccable as always. I love her and her style. Her collections always feature such clean lines and beautiful structure that I just covet and, maybe, drool over a bit. The coats and the gold detailing/hardware are amazing this year. Like I have never before needed a white coat more than I do right now. It's insane. This coat that I am so clearly obsessed with?

Finally, we get to Rodarte. The sexy librarian chic thing they have going on is really unique and different from a lot of other collections I have seen this year but the real genius comes in the form of the Star Wars dresses they created. These dresses have silk skirts with characters and other quintessential Star Wars motifs printed on them. This is a whole new take on the galaxy print trend! I am loving it and my particular favorite is the Death Star dress. It is stunning, but you don't have to take my word for it! Here it is:
