Happy Friday, friends! I figured I’d ease into the weekend with a recap of Days 2 and 3 of Fashion Week. I was a little bummed because I woke up with food poisoning on Day 3 and missed my first two shows (I was supposed to head to Jill Stuart and Laurence & Chico), but hopefully I’ll be able to catch them next season! I did manage to make it out of my apartment later that day to catch my last couple of shows however. Without further adieu, here’s a glimpse into days 2 and 3!
Did you miss the Day 1 recap? You can find it here!
Day 2
10:00 AM: I head over to Skylight once again to catch the Dan Liu show. I was late, so hence the 3rd row seats! This collection was pretty interesting to me because it didn’t use a ton of the expected fall colors and fabrics. It was super feminine, colorful and fun overall. My kind of F/W collection!
12:00 PM: I hang out for a bit until the Hakan Akkaya show. It was a coed show so I don’t have too many photos, but it was an edgy girl’s dream. I loved all of the textures featured in the show: it had everything from leather to vinyl to fishnets! This collection definitely has inspired me to have a bit more fun with layers next season.

1:00 PM: I head over to Lulu Frost for the Stylinity Blogger Lounge. We got to hear supermodel Veronica Webb speak about her modeling career and her venture into blogging, and I got a chance to mix and mingle with a few other bloggers.
4:00 PM: I met up with a couple of friends for happy hour and dinner. Chill rest of the night to wrap a crazy day!
Day 3
8:00 AM: My alarm goes off and unfortunately…I am sick as a dog! I wasn’t able to eat anything, and I knew I definitely had food poisoning. Unfortunately I had to skip my first two shows, but I did end up feeling better to leave my house in the afternoon.
4:00 PM: I get myself together to catch the tail end of the Shopstyle Social House. It was awesome to get my makeup done, meet with brands, and borrow a few looks to get me through the rest of the week. (sharing those later on the blog!
6:00 PM: I finally make it to my first show of the day: Georgine. This was one of the highlights of my week, and I’m so glad I was able to overcome food poisoning to get to it! I loved the jewel tones in the color palette, the luxe textures, and the incredible attention to detail with this collection. It was perfect for a girly-girl who wants to give her look a bit of edge.
8:00 PM: I feel like death at this point, but I end up making it to my very last show of the day: Francesca Liberatore. I had a seat that was kind of high up, so that’s why these photos are horizontal (sorry for the switch up!) I loved the color scheme of this collection for fall: peach, gray, light blue and dark blue. I thought it was so stunning, and a change of pace from what you’d typically expect. It was incredibly elegant and feminine, and I loved her use of fur, lace, and stripes.
Overall Trends:
My favorite trend out of these past two days were the unexpected color palettes. Yes, there was plenty of black and jewel tones, but I love the idea of peach, light pink and light blue for fall. These colors that you mainly see in spring are a fresh, unexpected change from seasons past.
I also loved the layering I saw these two days. I definitely want to play with sheer layers a lot more next fall (or even now!) I’ll add a full camisole under sheer tops and most likely a mini skirt under sheer maxis, but it’s a trend that I don’t really experiment with enough that I definitely want to rock!
