REBECCA MINKOFF SS/2012. – NICOLE ALYSE.

My color palette for the Rebecca Minkoff show was really basic- Kept it very natural with lot’s of golds, browns, nudes, with compliments of brass. (Obviously someone is excited for fall..)

I wore a sheer chiffon nude dress from American Apparel maxi dress, a black mini skirt layered underneath, a vintage fur vest, vintage brown leather belt + boots, and brass colored rings, earrings, and rings.

Last year during fashion week I made the mistake of taking the subway to meet Austin for the Ruffian show and made it within seconds. This year I decided to not made the mistake and called for a car to pick us up. Obviously, we made sure we had an ice coffee for the ride..

There was an insane amount of traffic which delayed us more than we thought. We ended up pulling up to Lincoln Center at 1:20.. 20 minutes after the show should have started. We quickly hoped out the car and raced inside to find out the the Rebecca Minkoff show was closed.. until they opened the door for us. Yep, we were the last people to enter the show- Not even 30 seconds into walking in the room and it was show time.

The SS2012 collection was beautiful. Exactly what I want to wear when I think of Spring and Summer… floral, silks, chiffons, neons, and of course, see-through sheers.

My first purchase for the new collection will be the Large Studded Affair bag.
With my luck, it’s available right off the runway (one of the only two items to be)
