Things I Love ... New York Fashion Week

New York Fashion Week is officially over (London starts today!) and I've loved watching almost all of the shows.  It's amazing to see all the craftsmanship designers put into their work but it's also fun to see trends start to form.  Here are just a few of the trends that caught my eye.

I was initially surprised that for spring I was seeing so many looks that were black and white.  While color did become rampant during the week, many designers still featured looks in classic black and white, whether as entire looks in each color, patterns, or styled together.

Rachel Zoe & Michael Kors

I also started seeing lots of stripes.  Some of this was mixed in with classic Americana and some was just plain bold!

Finally, I saw tons of lingerie influences with sheer fabrics and techniques to create sexy illusions.
