    New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010: Christian Siriano

    As demonstrated by Christian Siriano's stunning Spring/Summer 2010 collection, the youngest-ever winner of Project Runway is still fierce as ever! While his Fall 2009 collection took inspiration from Egyptian pharaohs and the sandy banks of the Nile, this time around he took his audience on a trip to what looked like a Tahitian beach sunset with his satiny tan suits, orange gradient gowns, and sparkly aqua hues. Shimmering steel-blue pinstripes and cascading tiered ruffles gave the collection a distinctly oceanic vibe along with a polished femininity, and every piece seemed to boast a "Christian" signature, from the sand-and-sky color palette to the My Fair Lady-esque floppy hats. If that wasn't a challenge for the other PR graduates to step up their game, I don't know what is! Click on the slideshow to browse the dazzling collection!

    Bright colors, edgy metallics and fluid lines seem to be the theme this year at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010, and Rebecca Taylor's collection on day five was one of our favorites, showcasing a variety of sweetly feminine and totally modern takes on this year's current and upcoming trends. Shiny silvers, asymmetrical ruffles and girly floral prints were punctuated with exaggerated silhouettes, giving the runway a flirty look that reminded one of a nautical space-age. Looser fits were contrasted by body-con dresses and legs were all over the place in pouf and pencil minis, tailored shorts and satin sheaths, giving the models a look of cabana-chic. Check out the slideshow to see more Rebecca Taylor favorites from her Spring/ Summer 2010 runway collection!

    New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010: Whitney Eve

    For her Spring/Summer 2010 Whitney Eve collection, Whitney Port seemed to use herself as a muse. Every single looked screamed "Whitney" and for someone like me who adores Whitney's style, that's definitely a good thing! This collection merged a downtown New York edge with a sweet and sunny California girl sensibility. Just like Whitney, it was very eclectic, funky, and had a retro reference point which was re-interpreted to create a modern feel. I absolutely died over this one slinky, metallic number! Other standouts included a cut-out brocade mini dress with a bow accent (such a great way to balance naughty and nice!) and a strapless full-skirted black dress with layers of tulle peeping through. Almost every style was adorned with ultra femme accents -- ruffles, bows, tulle, lace -- but the sweetness was definitely offset by sexy silhouettes and styles. Whitney also presented some fabulous separates, including a sharp-shouldered peplum jacket, a black blazer updated with layered of ruffles, and an oversized metallic blazer. Overall, anyone who loves Whitney's style will absolutely flip over all the pieces in her Whitney Eve line -- check the slideshow to see for yourself!

    Marc Jacobs always has a special place in my heart for his wearable pieces that are trendy yet timeless. The new Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 collection is now available at Shopbop and I couldn't love it more! I'm all about this on-trend Abbey Plaid Dress ($458) and this red Solid Silk Dress ($378). And don't forget the must-have ruffled booties to complete your fall look -- they come in both black and brown, so good luck deciding! Overall, It's a great collection you can build your autumn wardrobe around. Check out the rest of my favorite pieces from the collection over at Coquette!

    Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week SWIM Runway: Luli Fama

    My first thoughts upon seeing this year's Luli Fama swimwear collection? Pageant bikini competition protestors obviously have never seen one of her runways! Decked out in fluffy sausage curls (sounds like something at IHOP, I know), plenty of red lipstick, and exuding the feminine confidence of Rosie the Riveter, the show's models were a perfect balance of girlie-sexy and in-your-face tough, putting a fresh new spin on the pin-up girl that frankly could probably kick your butt. The collection itself boasted a fun and flirty variety of retro prints like black-and-white polka dots with modern twists like neon ruffled trim.. and of course the looks wouldn't be complete without red pearl necklaces, giving the collection a sort of overall "June Cleaver lets her hair down" vibe.

    Lookin' Good From Bottom To Top With Stylehive's Stylescopes!

    One thing I love about the warmer months, aside from the influx of fun Spring and Summer trends, is the new freedom to don cropped pants, silky skirts, and short shorts without freezing my hiney off or looking like a total fool and/or floozy. Without the pressure of having to cover up for the sake of keeping warm, the possibilities when it comes to stylish bottoms are truly bottomless -- whether you dare to bare those gams, or prefer to keep them sheathed in longer slacks made from a more breathable, spring-friendly material. With all the fashionable options available, how does a girl decide which kind of skirt or trousers best suits her tush? You could go the expensive route and buy every pair of pants, capris, shorts, or skirt in sight... or you could let the stars be your guide and let Stylescopes help you dress to impress and charm the pants off everyone this week! Pisces girls will look tailored and chic in a pair of high-wasted high waters, Virgos will hit the town looking edgy in a zipper-front skirt, and Tauruses will knock out two birds with one stone in a cute one-shoulder romper! Check out the slideshow for your sign and take a look at some cute outfit halves that will be sure to complete your most stylish ensemble this week!
