Dark pouts walked the runway at Proenza Schouler.

This piece speaks for itself. The cut and color can be worn year-round and the versatility makes this investment piece well worth it.

A very noteworthy dress Carey Mulligan took some risks in this Prada number that paid off. The short to long hemline kept the look young and age appropriate while the embellishments of tiny scissors, forks and other utensils made it edgy. She paired it with Fred Leighton jewels.

Hair smoothed and pulled behind the ears was seen all over the runways. Narciso Rodriguez embellished his sleek locks with small flowers.

With metallics, silver and shades of blue dominating the red carpet these stunners stood out in blush tones.

While the majority of people are adjusting to the new spring fashion trends, I am scouring the markets and runways to make purchases for the next fall season. After spending a week in New York City here is a preview of new looks to come.
The must have footwear included wedge everything, flat suede boots, tall pumps, and the heeled oxford as well as the flat oxford.

Don’t let this fashion forward trend scare you..these sweatshorts are actually easy to style and oh so comfortable. Meant to be worn low on the hips these shorts are a great transition piece. Wear them now with jackets, scarves and ankle boots. Wear them later with tanks and heels for a fashion forward casual chic.

A reoccurring beauty trend of the Oscars was the side part, soft curls and tuck behind the ears.

Making its way in to many collections was the prep-ster trend of reds, plaids, tartan prints, and cardigans.

My pick for this week is a must have item for spring–the jumper. I know the idea of a “onesie” was a little hard to wrap our brains around last spring when rompers and jumpers first hit, but it’s time to step outside of your comfort zone and let them into your wardrobe. They are back in a big way this spring and not only are they cute on, they make getting dressed a lot less complicated. My favorite is the tie front jumpsuit by Elizabeth and James. It’s got a great button up detail on the neckline and the slouchy fit of the pant is not only flattering, but very on trend with its’ harem pant inspiration. This jumpsuit is perfect for a casual spring day with gladiators and a few chunky bangles, or dressed up for night with some strappy heels and gold jewelry.

We didn’t see the typical focus on eyes or lips at the Marc Jacobs show. Instead the makeup was heavy on the cheeks for a warm glow.

Typically big fans of Charlize Theron; we really think she missed the mark with this Dior dress

In this approach to the smoky eye models were meant to look as though they had partied all night.

The most prominent new trend impacting all the collections was military inspiration: look for it in coats, olive silk blouses and tanks, oatmeal colored sweaters, olive dresses, military boots, and a touch of cargo silk pants.

We saw deliberate fly-aways on the likes of Jennifer Lopes, Miley Cyrus, Zoe Saldana and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Christoph Waltz not only had my favorite performance of the year, as Hans Landa in “Inglorious Basterds”, but looked killer in a nicely tailored shawl collar tux on Oscar night. The beard mixed with the class of a great tux and the perfectly imperfect bow tie made for a great look.

You may think a tux is a tux is a tux…but when it comes to the men at the Oscars its all in the details. Tom Ford looked dashing and I loved the magnolia that seemed to be made of paper.  Jake Gyllenhaal was classic with a slightly smaller bow tie. Christopher Plumber stole the show in my book. His navy tux jacket and red pocket scarf made him every bit the leading man. Taylor Lautner’s skinny shawl collar tux was a great update on a classic style.

There was no shortage of outerwear to choose from as each collection had luxurious coats, vests, and heavy sweaters to bundle up in. Styles varied from puffers, caplets, and leather jacket, to military coats.
