New York Fashion Week!!

Get ready, get set.. this is going to be a great blogging week because NYFW is upon us!


I absolutely love sitting and watching my favorite designer shows replay from the comfort of my very own living room. It is so exciting to me to see NYFW all over the TV, news, blogs, websites and even magazines! I just love this time of year as its like Christmas in September for the fashion lovers of the world!!! It is a dream of mine to go and sit in a show and see the models walking in front of me with my very own eyes, but until that time VOGUE and Newyorkfashionweeklive.com will do!

For our first installment for NYFW here at corStyle, I wanted to focus on some of the trends that we are seeing early on out of New York City!

Thus far, I am seeing a ton of pastel colors grace the runways. For example, Monique Lhuillier presented yesterday and she had an array of gorgeous colors like light blues, purples, pinks, and silver with touches of black. I loved the elegance and lady like details she put forth for next season. Her show had the best flow about it. I really enjoyed watching the story unfold.




Crop tops are still in for next Spring, so if you haven't taken a liking to them yet now is the time. Like I have talked about before, the new level of crop tops show the upper part of women's torsos, some looks even seem to show the upper rib cage. I suggest trying it in one way or another ladies, as it isn't going away! Prabal Gurung, who is ever the hot designer as of late had this going on in his show in a major way earlier today.



I am thrilled to report that denim, chambray and nude tones are also here to stay come Spring!  Jill Stuart had a beautiful show and I am so obsessed with her looks for the upcoming season!!  Here are a few of my favorite looks containing nude tones and or denim! I am also obsessed with the strappy sandals she featured with all of her looks. AMAZE!








I can not wait to see what else this fashion week has to offer as there are so many more designers coming up. Are there any designers/shows you are most looking forward to? Leave me a comment and lets chat about it! Who knows, I may even feature that designer in the upcoming week. Let me know your thoughts, I love interacting with all of you.

I wanted to end this post with a reminder from The Devil Wears Prada. Miranda Priestly had a very good point while speaking with Andy about her blue lumpy sweater, "what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent... wasn't it who showed cerulean military jackets? I think we need a jacket here. And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. And then it, uh, filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic Casual Corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry"  It is very true, what we are seeing come down the runway today is what we will be able to pick up at our favorite fashion retailers tomorrow. Let us not forget that!

Until next time fashion friends!

Wedding Wednesday- Best Dresses to Wear to a Summer Wedding

Wedding season is upon us and if your like me, you have just started going to all the weddings of the season! My inspiration for this post came from  Elle Magazine . They did an amazing article on the best looks to wear to a wedding and it got me thinking about wanting to give my readers some tips and highlight a few looks for these special days. Weddings are a lot of fun to go to and you always want to look your best for when you are seeing your friends and family! Here are a few rules to get you started: 1) No cream or white-- Please do not be that one person all the others are giving dirty looks to because you wore an all white look to a wedding. I think having cream or white come through in your look in some way is totally great, especially in these summer months. However, just don't have your entire dress be white. I have seen this done before and its not well received. 2) Pay attention to what the invitation says the attire will be-- If the invitation says blac...

Trendy Festival Wear - 2016

Hello there to my favorite readers! Festival season is now officially upon us. One thing I noticed this year is that the fashion retailers are advertising specifically to the festival goer, making it easier than ever to find your perfect look. It doesn't seem like it has changed too much since last year, besides there is even more of a 70's vibe mixed with the 90's in these looks. However, we still have the obvious staples -- the  headbands, the crop tops and the ripped jeans. Lets dive right into some of the best festival looks this season and how they can transition into your summer wardrobe and beyond! Grecian style shoes . I mean, perfection. I mean, say no more! These shorts ,some denim, a big hat and a choker! Your comfy and trendy! Georgy Georg bright colored dress . Pompom Playsuit . Need it! PS, is playsuit the new word for romper!? Braided headband!? I want it and Im not going to a festival! Obsessed with this v...

Dressing Diaries- ASOS Sheath Dress

It's about that time to start another reoccurring series entitled Dressing Diaries . I thought it would be fun to give you a peak into how I style myself and how some of my favorite looks come together. Start of dressing process:  Very late at night, the day before an event (nothing like a fair amount of procrastination), I always ask my sweet  fiancĂ©   to take a picture of my outfit. By the time I get to the pictures, I have narrowed down the look to two or three different choices. PS- this is a really good tip if you haven't tried it before.  I know that sounds funny, but in todays world where there are so many pictures taken its important for you to be able to visualize the final look so you aren't left disappointed. It is also good to be able to see what shoes look best and what accessories complete the ensemble.  Completion of dressing process : I went with nude lace up heels (you can find something similar to purchase here ) and opted...
