CURIOUSER NEW YORK

Listen, just because it's cold, rainy and, occasionally, snowy, doesn't mean the colors in our wardrobe should be packed far, far away. Bring it on! It's a perfect time to bright up your day and the day of the people who surround you.

I love this UK brand - All Saints . And what more I love about them is their secret sale - bonanza!

The layering is very much 'in' this fall and winter! Bulk it up, ladies... Every one of us has that one favorite sweater that we just can't seem to get rid of. It might be old and stretched out and with a few holes here and there - but it's still the only sweater we seem to be wanting to wear. We can't even imagine not having it in our wardrobe. And even, when we want to look very stylish, we always find something to go with our old sweater. Well, don't get rid of it. As a matter of fact - wear it more and expect some people to ask you, where you got this stylish sweater…

I'm loving the fact that the Fall in New York is very warm this year, with just occasional showers that remind us of the Fall coming upon us...But this is nothing comparing to, say, Ekaterinburg, Russia, where they already have snow, right? The fact that it's been so warm - Indian Summer anyone? - the New Yorkers don't seem to let go of their jean jackets, flats and the cotton 'recycle' bags. I'm loving the weekend, when I go out and take photos of the people on the streets.

I usually try to not post the photos I didn't take. I only post non-mine photos of the pieces from the designers and collections I really, really admire and desire... Such as these few pieces that have been on my mind from Proenza Schouler fall 2012:

Still perplexed how some of the fashion bloggers can turn over the material - [photos and videos] - they've shot at a fashion show on the same day of the show - how, how, how is it possible? It took me two days to just go over, select, edit and post the photos from Day One of the Couture Fashion Week, and it's not even all of it... I actually - [to my own sadness] - had to select just a few out of very many that I've shot. Here's a collection by a Spanish designer  Isabel Zapardiez  - the Couture Bridal Designs. Obviously, it was the whitest as it can get of the runway shows! And, of course, it was romantic too... I'm sure it was a rather pleasurable show for all the women in the audience who are either already planning a wedding and/or they are dreaming about it. As for me, it was just an enjoyment to see the handwork of the white dresses - gowns. At some moment a thought on getting married didn't seem like a bad idea at all...
