I really am loving it all!! I used to not really like fall. Being the Floridian that I am, I was perfectly OK with summer all year around! Fall clothing in warmer climate tends to be a lot different than clothing in a colder climate. In the colder climates the actually keep you warm, but living in Florida I never had to get much of a fall wardrobe that had the purpose to keep you warm, rather than keep up with a fall palate and trends. But eventually fall grew on me. When I was in New York, fall pretty much just started. I had to acquire some new fall pieces(that actually kept me warm) and I actually enjoyed shopping for them. I started to think about and draw more fall pieces when I would sketch. And the fabric selections in New York were more elaborate than the few heavier fabrics you would be able to find in Florida.
On another note.... now that I'm getting myself back into the fashion outside Dallas, Ga, and getting all these fall trends, it is about to be time for Spring inspirations... Fashion Week is only a Week (and a day technically) away!!! And oh how I wish I was in NYC for this one!! First of all, FNO!!! The second annual Fashions Night Out is on the 10th, even if I couldn't afford any of the special sales that will be going on, I'd still love to venture out in the city just to see everyone and everything! Events GALORE are going on... and there is a guide in Vogue if you want all of them! I'd say top three I wouldn't miss would have to be Ping Pong with Rag & Bone, Karaoke with Proenza Schouler and the Olsen twins, and dance lessons with Vera Wang and figure skating champion Evan Lysacek at her Mercer st. location. Second, the move from the coveted Bryant Park to the Lincoln Center is probably going to be EPIC! All the pre-fashion week stuff that is going on there will be to die for!! yet again all the details are in Vogue(and prob all over their website- which is on my links if you want to check it out when you are done here!)! All in all, I wouldn't want to miss this, but obviously am going to. But don't worry, because I will be looking at all the updates I can handle throughout the days passing! And I plan on starting sketches and ideas for spring in the weeks to come after fashion week. But still will be looking at fall.... oh how I love the crazy fashion industry; getting ready for one season to be on the racks while thinking about the next season on the runway.... never a dull moment!!
and a last note
one fall picture/cover I'm currently in love with:
It looks like a dress to me, with a blue waistline... great styling! Love it!
But for now I will Marvel in my new mini ^ and get work done... till NYC!!
