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!

Bible, I Am In Love

Keeping Up With The Kardashians Season Seven Finale aired this past Sunday and while it was the most watched episode of the season with 3.6 million viewers, the episode also featured the birth of Kourtney and Scott's second bundle of joy, Penelope Scotland Disick. As big brother Mason would say "Her name is sister." What did you think of the finale? I know I am craving more Kardashians, so they better just bring it on. While we anxiously await Kourtney and Kim Take Miami that will air in January 2013, check out some of my favorite looks from our favorite sisters below.

While toting her main accessory, eldest son Mason, I am absolutely adoring Kourtney's dress, I love that she adds some chunky jewelry with a unique necklace and obvi obsessing over the fab leopard sandals.

Perfecting one of the hottest trends, Kim goes all out in none other than pastel skinny jeans. Relaxing the look, she pairs the stylish jeans with a neutral top and detailed jacket while opting for artistic sandals and a gray Birkin bag.

As always, our outlandish and spunky Khloe, goes funky and relaxed with a black top and sweater, printed black and white shorts and fabulous, detailed black strappy wedges. She tops this look with fab jewels and great hair.

A Variety Wears Them Best

Another summer necessity that will absolutely transition right into fall is a jean vest. Stunning and great on any figure, sport an adorable jean vest with just about anything. Work it with a maxi dress, skirt, shorts, leggings or jeans. Below are some of my favorite ways to flaunt this look. Don't forget that this fashion statement works for both women and men. Too perfect for words.

Jessica Alba knows how to model her vest while pairing it with a flirty and fun maxi dress. She works a neutral colored handbag and strappy sandals while finishing the look with sunnies and a ponytail.

Kate Bosworth should officially be declared a regular on Doll Maison! This fashionista has the trend down while combining a simple blouse, shorts and tan sandals with her vest. This has to be my favorite look. So sexy!

Justin Bieber shows us that this style is not only for women but men too. The Biebs rocks a black and white tee with black jeans (not pictured) and some epic hair.

Usher screams "trendy" with his jean vest, black shirt, black jeans and silver chains. He perfects the look with some dark black sunnies and keeps us wanting more with that mysterious look.

Sophisticated Scallops

Who doesn't love some simple yet superb shorts! One of the most beloved types of shorts among many this summer have been the scalloped designs. While many celebrities have been seen sporting these spunky shorts, lots of average women have fallen in love with the same kinds. Buy a pair before summer is gone and wear them into fall with tights. 

Olivia Palermo knows how to work it in these fun shorts. She opts for the bright floral printed pair while mixing together a floral top, leopard flats and a wicker handbag. Olivia tops it off with cat sunnies and a classic ponytail.

Anne Hathaway flaunts these cute blue scallops with white polka dots while taking her dog for a walk in the city. She works together a gray tee and black flats while completing her ensemble with a simple necklace and black stylish sunnies.

All smiles and gorgeous as ever, Kate Bosworth looks radiant in her super chic nude colored shorts. Kate rocks a shimmer blush colored top and tan sandals to complement the nude shorts. She goes for beach waves and a small, matching shoulder bag which supplies a calm and relaxed look. 

Bohemian Beach Babe

I have a little obsession with the Boho Beach vibe. I thought I would pick a couple of my favorite outfits and let you know how I would style them. You can't go wrong with a crochet dress or detailed summer shorts before we dive into fall and winter. With each of these ensembles, I find it important to style them up with good makeup and hair. See what I have to say below.

This boho style 'Legend Indio Crochet Dress' ($298) is the perfect beach ensemble for your topical getaway. Add some cute gold or brown strappy sandals for a more chill, relaxed vibe. Choose beach waved hair and natural makeup. Don't forget your sparkly bronzer, which will add the perfect touch of sexy.

Snatch these adorable 'Riley Daisy Denim Shorts' ($80) that would look perfect with a skinny yellow belt and relaxed white blouse or tee (as shown). Don't forget those sassy sunnies to block the bright sun. Pair these shorts with some dazzling sandals or nude wedges and throw your hair up in a ponytail or sleek bun. Opt for beachy but dark makeup, adding in some brown and tan eyeshadow. As always, obviously, pout your lips with some light pink gloss. 

Are You Ready Boots? Start Walkin'!

Summer boots are extremely popular. With the excitement and rave over them, it is vital that we don't style them the way we would in the fall or winter. You have to be very careful. For example, breathable linen booties are ideal for the warm weather because they won't overheat your feet. Fun prints are great against a bare leg and pairing your booties with cute breezy dresses always amplifies the look. Keep an eye on the boots you toss on. Fringe can be overwhelming and thigh-high boots can make you hot and sweaty which leads to itching and potentially dry skin. Below are some popular summer boots and great ways to own the look.

Kate Bosworth shimmers, per usual, in a multi colored sweater, jean skirt and adorable summer booties. She dazzled the look with perfect beach waved hair. Darling!

Rachel Bilson models some sexy leopard boots with a simple navy tee and jean shorts while out and about in the city of angels.

While making an important call (probably to hottie boyfriend, Justin Bieber) Selena Gomez owns knee- high boots (better than thigh-high) which she accompanied with a peace sign top and white shorts. 

Wanna snag a great pair of boots for the end of summer that can easily transition to fall? Check out Doll Maison's "Keep Makin' Me Ill (Week Eight)" sunday shoe series for some awesome boots. 

Keeping Up With Penelope

For the past week, I have anxiously been awaiting the arrival of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick's new bundle of joy (while I am sure most Kardash fanatics have been). As an aspiring Kardashian ( just joking... Not really, who are we kidding, I am obsessed!) I'm absolutely thrilled to announce that they have welcomed daughter Penelope Scotland Disick to the world this evening. While I am over the moon for the gorgeous couple and precious son Mason, I present some of the most darling fashions worn by Kourt and Scott. 

Looking sophisticated and sweet, Kourtney shines in this printed dress while mixing it with big, bold earrings and bright red lips while Scott looks immaculate in a simple, very put together suit and fab hair.

Adoring the fact that the couple can both flaunt leopard and look so perfect, I am seriously captivated by Kourt's shorts and Scott's loafers. Can this look get any more perfect! Meow!

I am loving Scott's dapper suit and matching cane while I definitely want Kourtney's adorbs black dress, tights and leopard heels for myself. Can we already agree that they are the best dressed couple in Hollywood!

'Cause Baby You're A Firework

As I prepare for a 4th of July party this afternoon, I find myself conflicted with what to wear. Do I wear shorts, leggings, red, white, blue? While my style is like an ever lasting mood ring, I wear whatever speaks to me, I find it harder to choose something when you have some type of "guide." While technically it is not a rule that you must wear red, white or blue for the 4th, I like to be festive and fun for holidays, like most people. If you find yourself running through similar questions like I did this afternoon, here are some adorb ideas for your sparkling holiday!

Purchase these Striped Cotton Back Zipper Tee ($38) and pair it with a chic white short. Add these sassy and bold Sequin Bangles (Striped bangles-$25 each, Starfish bangles-$32 each). Complete this look with cute gold wedges or sandals.

Snatch a pair of these funky Falling Imprint Cotton Side Zip Shorts ($58) and work a white or gray tee with them. Select this gorge Kate Spade New York 'Gerbera Garden' floral necklace ($378) and a pair of nude or tan wedges (as shown) to perfect this ensemble.
