New York Fashion Week... The Good, The Bad, and the Just plain Boring!

At the very top of my bucket list is to attend New York fashion week. And when I say attend, I mean actually get to see a fashion show. Not just stalk the models and socialites outside of the tents. Not sure how I am going to make that happen just yet, but that's beside the point.
I have looked through most picture of the fashion shows from New York, and I must say I am pretty underwhelmed. Most designers seemed to have played it pretty safe this year. I despise the fact that there are so many celebrity fashion lines now, well except for Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Celebritys need to stick to acting and let fashion designers take care of the runway shows. I also noticed how many animals must have been skinned for all the furs!! Every designer had tons of fur on the runway! So cruel. Hopefully some of them are faux furs. Where was PETA with their sacks of flour and red paint?? Hmmm Maybe that's how I will make it into a fashion show...
Well, here goes my run down of last weeks festivities.
Carolina Herrera~
The hats were beautiful! Rich velvet, plums, sequins, and of course beautiful gowns.

Fashions favorite hipster has done it again. I loved this collection. The hair was kinda weird and there was this one velvet ruched mess. But check out this camel coat! It looks so rich and soft. I would love to own it!

And for my worst NY fashion week show for Fall 2010...
Anna Sui. Normally I like her hippie boho looks. Not this season. It was just bad. Flappers, Cruella Deville fur coats, Bad prints, and weird looking models.
I hope she changes it up for Spring!
