NYFW Spring 2013 Preview

While New York Fashion Week has come and gone, I took some time selecting my favorite pieces from seven genius designers. While the elimination process was crucial and insane, I have finally selected the most beloved styles. The collections featured at NYFW were absolutely incredible and I wish that they would fill my closet by Spring. Check out the most adored looks below. 

Michael Kors chose to add a touch of sparkle and gold with white shorts and metallic heels. The blouse is super glimmering and an incredible way to add spunk to any outfit.

Jason Wu goes classy with a black and white fitted top, black skinny ankle pants and black heels. He chooses to pop the outfit with a white and leopard tote.

BCBG opts for a flawless sheer, lace black and creme frock with black heels that wrap around the ankles. Flawless and perf! Crushing over the wavy locks and simple black clutch.

One of my fav designs was composed by DKNY. I love this simple and carefree gown that fits the body completely. I admire how creative the design is while it also offers a collective feel.

DVF chooses bold and funky colors and patterns (per usual) which I totally gush over! The gorgeous dress above showcases a coral hue, white and turquoise. I love the bit of sparkle at the bottom of the frock that totally adds something special.

Kate Spade has proven that 50's inspired fash is what is going to be hot! Grab the mint collar blouse, checker capris, pointed toe flats, cat eye sunnies and nude tote. So Mad Men!

Victoria Beckham creates this chic and hip white mini with a clean and effortless cutout. Paired with the sassy nude knee high gladiators, this is totes amaze! I die!

Keep Makin' Me Ill (Week Eleven)

I have what the unenlightened would deride as a compulsion, fetish, infatuation, or obsession, yet I value as a virus every male and female should contract, Seriously Irresistible Shoes Syndrome. I need clothes (how many consecutive afternoons can one wear Lauren Conrad leggings? Love you LC), however when I even glimpse espadrilles, flats, sandals, stilettos, or wedges; necessities be damned! My eyes shimmer, my heart flutters, and within two hours, I’m reorganizing my closet because last week’s pair has new neighbors.

This is such a sexy shoe that it should be illegal if you don't have a pair in your closet. These Boutique 9 Pumps ($150) are great with a gorge gown or for a more casual look, a pair of jeans. Absolutely a basic essential you NEED. 

Too perfect for words, these Michael Kors Pumps ($325) are amaze. Seriously in love, and while I ponder what I could wear these with, I vision a cream or black frock, simple stud earrings, sparkly bangles and a gray or black clutch (depending on which dress I choose). Beautiful!

My fav pair of the week, I will anything for these Rachel Zoe Sandals ($295). Bananas! I feel like I could rock them entirely upon my arrival back to California. What a maj moment that would be. Should I get these... no, the better question is how soon can I get these! I die. 

Fall is such a problem for me because I admire the colors so much. I love dark and nude hues. Truthfully, I feel everyone should own a pair whether they be nude or dark shoes for the season. Perhaps these Diane von Furstenberg Suede Sandals ($280) are ideal for your fall wardrobe. Mix this color with any ensemble of your choice. 

Suede is huge (like the duo, above). These wine colored, suede Stuart Weitzman Pointed Toe Pumps ($365) are excellent. The gold gives off a little bit of edge while keeping it modern and sophisticated. Pair these with black pants and a leopard top. This hue is the "it" color for fall and goes awesome with leopard print! 

Keep Makin' Me Ill (Week Ten)

I have what the unenlightened would deride as a compulsion, fetish, infatuation, or obsession, yet I value as a virus every male and female should contract, Seriously Irresistible Shoes Syndrome. I need clothes (how many consecutive afternoons can one wear Lauren Conrad leggings? Love you LC), however when I even glimpse espadrilles, flats, sandals, stilettos, or wedges; necessities be damned! My eyes shimmer, my heart flutters, and within two hours, I’m reorganizing my closet because last week’s pair has new neighbors.

These seductive Michael Kors Platform Pumps ($175) will vamp up your classy black pencil skirt and blouse to brush off that perfect amount of sexy yet strong look. 

I love these Kate Spade New York Pointed Toe Pumps ($298) that would easily go great with a LBD or blouse and pencil skirt. 

Totally swear that I am obsessed with wedges and not afraid to admit it. I NEED these Ralph Lauren Dawn High Heel Wedges ($109) in my closet pronto!

                                                

DVF knows just what she is doing when designing the latest fashion must-haves. Grab a pair of these sophisticated Diane von Furstenberg Camilla Zipper Booties ($325) and make them your fall staple.

Adore these Boutique 9 Platform Pumps ($150), which are essential for any ensemble that requires a little sparkle. Lets be honest, what outfit doesn't require a little sparkle anyway! 

Keep Makin' Me Ill (Week Eight)

I have what the unenlightened would deride as a compulsion, fetish, infatuation, or obsession, yet I value as a virus every male and female should contract, Seriously Irresistible Shoes Syndrome. I need clothes (how many consecutive afternoons can one wear Lauren Conrad leggings? Love you LC), however when I even glimpse espadrilles, flats, sandals, stilettos, or wedges; necessities be damned! My eyes shimmer, my heart flutters, and within two hours, I’m reorganizing my closet because last week’s pair has new neighbors.

*These sexy and sweet Michael Kors 'Davenport' Booties ($195) are sure to be your best friend this fall. Grab these super seductive boots and pair them with jeans and a tee or cute mini.

*I love the Steve Madden 'Morgen' Boots ($290). They are excellent for that crisp fall weather. Purchase some skinny jeans or leggings and sport these fantastic knee-high boots around town. You'll be sure to get some looks. 

While I favorite this gorgeous, envy green hue, I heart these booties just as much. Fantastic with a radical top and black, denim or white jeans, pair these House of Harlow 1960 'Natalia' Booties ($295) with just about anything in your wardrobe.

*I absolutely adore these Michael Kors 'Padova' Pumps ($325). They are great with an all black ensemble. Think black blouse and black pencil skirt or a LBD. Add some sparkly jewelry to complete the look.

These delicious L.A.M.B. 'Dotty' Pumps ($395) scream "Wear me you sexy whole bit beotch!" Loving them to death, they are totally worth your paycheck. These pumps would look stunning with any dress of choice. Or, simply rock a sparkly top and some bootcut denim.

Open Your Eyes

Sunnies, my obvi signature word if you read Doll Maison everyday (and you should), evoke summer’s essence with an intensity which rivals sandals and shorts. Sadly, a lamentable fraction only considers function, depreciating shades as merely eyewear. Why? As I illustrate, via six spectacular pairs, sunglasses can be a transcendent accessory.

While I have a permanent infatuation with all which is Michael Kors, I especially adore these  'Griffin' Retro Sunglasses ($105), whose white hue are the must color trend this summer.

Everyone from the thirty-five year old seated opposite you outside the ice cream shop to the twenty-one year old lying opposite you upon the beach will be severely jelly when they glimpse you rocking these Bvlgari 'Limited Edition' Cat's Eye Sunglasses ($650).

Christian Lacroix, I am beyond words impressed with the incomparable trim which adorn is these Metal Sunglasses ($270). Totes amaze!

I ADORE, and I wish I could publish the previous word within seventy-two point Arial Black, Prada sunnies! Literally. These 'Baroque' Round Sunglasses ($290) will superbly embellish your face, eliciting even the envy of Miranda Priestly herself.

I love me nude and tan almost as much as I love me white and Givenchy satiated both of my desires, intermixing caramel, nude, tan, and white within these  incorporated Oversized Round Sunglasses ($290). I die!

Assuming you L-O-V-E Ray Bans (and who wouldn't), you will rapture when you purchase these audacious and provocative Wayfarers ($160). Slip these on and be feelin hella cool tonight!

The Moment We've Wanted

FINALLY! The announcement America has awaited, coveted, envisioned, imagined, and visualized... Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are engaged. In honor of the most anticipated nuptials since Academy Award and Golden Globe recipient Grace Kelly wed Monaco's Prince Rainier III, I present a quartet of Brangelina's grandest moments and one perfect for the family album.

Hollywood's most glamorous pair rocked the 2009 Cannes Film Festival with the prospective bride radiant in a nude Versace gown and the Inglorious Basterds star mysteriously simple in black tie.

 .

Obviously, Angelina's emerald Versace, my favorite gown ever worn by the thrice Golden Globe awardee, was required within this montage. The Girl, Interrupted star amplified her spectacular ensemble with Robert Procop jewelry and an accessory every woman wishes they could purchase, the handsome Brad.

Attending the Producers Guild Awards, Brad and Angie sparkled with the soon to be Mrs. Pitt, whose directorial debut In The Land of Blood and Honey won the prestigious Stanley Kramer Award, resplendent in a black lace cut out Michael Kors.

Angelina, a master tigress even while pregnant with twins Vivienne and Knox, gleams in Max Azria with her future better half by her side.

Carefree and casual with progeny Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and the aforementioned twins, the Killing Them Softly star sports a zip hoodie and jeans, while his fiance flutters in an adorable tan top and black knee length skirt.
