fall trends – night on the town – vogue front row fashion

who doesn’t love to see all the pretty dresses? with holidays just around the corner, it’s fun to think of a party frock. i actually just bought my christmas dress (dressy drink night!) at the rack. best advice i was ever given… if you find an event dress, it fits, and it’s a deal… buy it. you’ll find something to wear it to.

this wraps up the vogue front row fashion show, and tonight i’m headed to fashion first.  hopefully i’ll see some style to capture (a little behind on that) and of course i’ll have some runway shots.

fall trends – sweater girls – vogue front row fashion

not that i’m going to be baring midriff anytime soon, but i thought most of the looks in this portion were great how-to’s on sweaters. for all the shots, click Read more

fall trends – urban luxe – vogue front row fashion

urban luxe translates to ‘military olive drab with sparkle and a pop of red’. there were several pieces in this set that i’d sell a kidney for. those tall chanel (looking?) boots?  yes. that bright red scarf. the cape like luxe looking thing that billowed and looked sumptuous… okay. apparently my style this fall is urban luxe. for all the shots from this set click Read more

fall trends – american sportswear – vogue front row fashion

i wasn’t as into this as i thought i’d be.  i tend to like classic.  i don’t know… maybe it was the coming and going models, and having to swap camera settings every two seconds.. there were a few items i liked, but you’ll have to excuse the blurred photos.  this section of the show was… challenging.  i did the best i could.  for *most* of the photos from american sportswear click Read more

fall trends – under wraps – vogue front row fashion

this little red coat (with the plaid peeking out) was adorable. some great looks for men and women, and just a reminder, everything was available at bellevue square! i loved picking out little details, and seeing where i could get them. i have a bit of a coat fetish, and have been wondering about the shape i’d like to get this year… i’m wanting something long, and cozy. for all the runway looks, be sure to click Read more

biker chic – rachel – pike place market

From needle+thread

so many details here that are wearable right now, and she puts them all together so well… leather jacket, fingerless gloves, legging, boots, cowl sweater. she looks warm AND stylish. perfect.

fashion shows are FAST. that being said, they’re also really fun. i’ve been behind the scenes, in the audience, and the one sending the clothes out there. nordstrom puts on a great show. thanks for having me, and hope you enjoy the pics. i’d love any feedback, what i could do better, what you’d like to see more of… drop me a line. and one last album to put out there, end of show/model stream is up.

best look – nordstrom fashion show – diane von furstenberg

From needle+thread

i wanted to show one of the dresses (what DVF is famous for), but i think my favourite look involved a cardi and some print leggings. see all the runway looks in the diane von furstenberg album.

best look – nordstrom fashion show – boss black

From needle+thread

saw lots of this really subtle plaid. i’d love it more if there were a vest. : ) see all the great looks from boss black in the boss black album on picasa.

best look – nordstrom fashion show – haute hippie

From needle+thread

From needle+thread

that first dress with the long necklaces and boots, gorgeous. that long patchwork cardigan, not so much. overall it does look good, i’m just not into that cardigan. and then i was drawn to that 2nd look, again, anything that sparkles… and do you see the trend with beige? it’s kind of dreamy. i don’t know that i’d do it allover- i see that second look with some leggings and tall boots. to view all the haute hippie looks, visit the album on picasa.

best look – nordstrom fashion show – leifsdottir

From needle+thread

if there’s one designer from this fashion show i can see myself wearing, it’s leifsdottir. mix of color and print (kind of like a wacky aunt) tights, cardi’s… all me. loved every look, and might just have to take myself to nordstrom and see what i can work in. to see all the runway looks, visit the leifsdottir album.

best look – nordstrom fashion show – marc by marc jacobs

From needle+thread

From needle+thread

for her- mix of reds, dark denim, print and what looks like a dream come true for me, a cardi blazer. for him- again that vest! fingerless glove (non-matching to hat-love) and those very cool fawn colored kicks. for the rest of the marc runway looks, visit the album.

best look – nordstrom fashion show – milly

From needle+thread

i’d rate milly 2nd on personally wearable- not to say the clothes weren’t gorgeous. i love the little bit of metallic, that peacock pattern was amazing, and used throughout, and i loved this very retro coat. to see all the milly runway looks, visit the milly album on my picasa.

best look – nordstrom fashion show – rag & bone

From needle+thread

From needle+thread

i personally couldn’t pull off that first look, but… i do love it. the trim jacket, and tuxedo stripe trousers… very subtle military. and the guys look… i’m a sucker for a guy in a vest. especially this casual… again, subtle military styling. want to see all the rag & bone looks? visit the rag & bone album.

best look – nordstrom fashion show – boss orange

From needle+thread

my fave look from boss orange… i really like the tonal denim+kicks. it’s strange that when you notice it, you start to see it everywhere. here’s the rest of the boss orange runway looks

best look – nordstrom fashion show – elizabeth + james

From needle+thread

i’m such a magpie. i love the sparkle. and again that oversize, organic shape knit… i’m not super crazy about all over beige… but i have a feeling beige is here to stay. oh, and thank god glasses are in. i’ve only been wearing them since 3rd grade. ; ) the rest of the elizabeth+james runway pictures.

best look – nordstrom fashion show – vince

From needle+thread

i am a sucker for oversize knits + belts + stripes. these are my go to items this fall… i’ve bought at least one of each for my fall wardrobe filling in, and scored an amazing wrap sweater on a recent girlfriend-clothing-swap-night. want to see the rest of vince? go here!
