    I cannot begin to even describe just how much I LOVED THIS COLLECTION! The polka dot accents, the printed blazers, the mixing of floral prints and polka dots; everything about this collection was giving me life! I was ooh-ing, aaah-ing, and trying my best not to look a damn fool by drooling over this collection! I loved it!

    I love houndstooth, I love leather, I love fur, I love bold pieces of clothing that still maintain a delicious portion of femininity. I loved this collection.

    Happy Fashion Week-ing!

    Invasion Collections by @BoyMeetsGirlUSA

    Stacy’s show was a smashing success!  I am so glad that I went to check out the brand new Boy Meets Girl collection.

    vday 426My fav piece was the blue/pink panel black leggings on the top right below. Super cute.

    Boy Meets Girl® by Stacy Igel returned to New York Fashion Week with the “Invasion Collections” on February 13th. This high-energy, electric show featured not only the popular Boy Meets Girl® Classic Collection but two new collections, Boy Meets Girl® University and Boy Meets Girl® GIRLS.

    “This season I was inspired by the “BritPop” music scene of the early 90s where bands such as Oasis, Blur, Suede, and later on The Spice Girls, developed a unique British reaction to the various musical and cultural trends of the period in the United States at that time,” says Stacy Igel, Boy Meets Girl® Founder/Creative Director. The Boy Meets Girl collection incorporates loud “pops” of color, and fun, edgy and unapologetic phraseology and imagery.  This invasion is all about attitude, and attitude is age-defying. That’s why we’re introducing three collections this season, Boy Meets Girl® GIRLS, University, and Classic.”

    Stacy was also inspired by the sleek and beautiful design of Harman Kardon® headphones where she incorporated these functional and fashionable accessories down the runway.  The shoes featured in the show were by Go Jane and the jewelry was a collaboration between MelodyEhsani and Boy Meets Girl®.

    @Burberry loves Bloggers for @LondonFashionWk S/S 2013

    I just finished watching the Burberry Spring Summer 2013 show live from my comforts of my living room in Brooklyn online! Getting to see the show the exact same time as buyers and editors like Anna Wintour makes it extra cool – so a BIG THANK YOU for the Burberry Social Media team for hook it it up!

    via Burberry Instagram

    The collection is SUPER DUPER. With bright foils in pinks, purples, blues, coppers and greens – there is everything to be excited about and nothing to hide.  It will take a lot of confidence and guts to wear this new collection but that is exactly what looking forward to spring/summer should feel like.  Burberry is the best brand out there that does a great job involving social media in fashion week and all that they are doing. Great Facebook, real time Twitter, quick Instagram and of course high level production!

    Pay attention fashion brands. Here is a great example to follow!

    Here are some of my favorite looks.
