my nyfw: honor spring 2014

yesterday marked the official first day of fashion week, and boy was it a big one! i attended a handful of shows, but if i had to pick a favorite, it would definitely be honor spring 2014. i was so bummed that i missed their show last season that i was determined to make it this time. and i am so glad that i did! last season was all about clean lines and bold colors, but this time it was all about the intricate details. it was one of those shows that gets your heart all aflutter as you see each dreamy piece float down the runway almost faster than your poor brain can even compute. it was a huge collection set against a forested wonderland with enough evening gowns to make you wish you were cinderella at the ball. believe it or not, there were more looks than i am sharing here, but i wasn’t quick enough to catch them all. in particular, i loved the slim cigarette pant suits with matching cropped jackets and the showstopper for me was a certain baby blue gown covered in fluffy thistledown puffs. swoon!

honor fall 2013

one show i’m still kicking myself for missing was honor fall 2013. it is easily one of my favorite collections from the shows at new york fashion week. i mean really, how can you resist that opening number? a pepto bismol pink set adorned with heart-shaped jewels? i’m already sold. the heart theme was seen throughout the collection in unexpected cutouts on pant legs and sleeves, in graphic prints and brocades, and even in those exaggerated peter pan collars. the bright acid colors and sickly sweet pinks were balanced out with black and a very intriguing shade of pale pistachio green. and even though there were lots of feminine elements, the clean lines and silhouettes kept things from being overly girlish. i’ll take it all, please!
