NYFW: Favorite Fashion and Beauty Trends

February 19th, 2013

nyfwtrends3

I love seeing all of the new trends that emerge during NYFW. The reoccurring favorites, call-backs to styles we’ve worn before (hi, ’90s plaid), and fads so out there that they’re better left on the runways. But after all the shows, I often find I’m overwhelmed by all of the new information. In an attempt to break it down a bit in a way that’s more accessible, I’ve picked my three favorite fall fashion and beauty trends that I’m ready to embrace right now.

1. Rag & Bone Jeans $187
2. Luxury Rebel Booties $140
3. Urban Outfitters Jacket $69
4. Topshop Lace Top $80
5. Elizabeth and James Jacket $545
6. J.Crew Necklace $138
7. Free People Skirt $98
8. Club Monaco Top $150
9. Zara Dress $99.90

When it comes to your beauty routine, it’s easy to fall into a slump – every morning you apply the same products resulting in an identical look, day after day. While there’s nothing wrong with that consistency, it’s also important to switch things up every now and again. After NYFW, I’m now committed to thick, maintained eyebrows, playing with my eyeshadow placement (though perhaps in a slightly subtler way), and bold lips and dewy skin.

I’d love to know – what were your favorite fashion and beauty trends from NYFW?

    I will definitely be embracing fuller brows and bold lips as well. I think there is nothing more beautiful than a full set of brows and big plump red lips! A little bit of brow liner helps to fill in sparse areas – I need to invest in some! Maybe you could do a post on your favorite brow liner/brow lining tips? ;)

    Embellished and sheer noir are always good to see on runways. Among the beauty trends, I wish I could sport Rodarte’s colorful hair, one day, I totally felt in love. And the hairstyle is very feminine, too.

    Great overview! For me, I loved the BCBG Max Azria show, the Ralph Lauren show and DVF. For beauty, I love the bold lip/light eye. I think the under eye shadow is really cool, but I don’t think I could pull it off with my smaller eyes.

    I really like the embellished pieces you posted. I think my favourite wearable looks from NY Fashion Week came from J Crew and Victoria Beckham.

    I’m definitely pro-embellishment. Not sure if I would actually wear the sheer noir look, but I really like it.

    My favorite was all the colors and the bows in Kate Spades collection. This year i purchased a couple of bold lip sticks and i love them. I agree you need to experiment and keep your makeup fresh looking.

    My favorite go to look is a bold brow and lip. Everyone always goes right for the eye, but brows and lips can be the star of the show too!

    I’m loving both the military fem and sheer noir looks. They’re both something that would coordinate into my personal style. And the light eye-bold lip trend, love.

    I love all of those embellished pieces — and I was totally taken by the girly military style, too. Super chic.

    So far, my favorite fashion trend from NYFW has been the military! I love the military trend, as well as sheer noir. Can’t wait to see what the stores get in the fall.
    As for beauty, I love the bold lip! I’ve been trying to be more adventurous with my lip colors so I’m glad to see it becoming a trend on the runway.

    great post, I really enjoyed looking through the make-up, lipsticks in particular. I’ve recently became obsessed with bright lips!

    I like the military trend. I don’t like the under eye shadow style.

    big brows are definitely always a must for me! also love the idea of embellishments!

  • http://www.bakingincouture.com Inna

    Makes me happy to see that I already own a little of all the trends. I always love black chiffon, it’s a staple and classic. I also love the dark brows, but they can be over done.

    I have been seeing so much of these trends as of late – and I am loving them all! Though, most will have to wait until fall rolls around, in the meantime I want to enjoy the beauty that is spring and summer!
    Much love,

    I am intrigued about the under eye, eye shadow so fun and bold. On the fashion side, I am loving my some lace!

    LOVE the light eye, bold lip, but the lower eye shadow kinda freaks me out… X http://www.dippedinyellow.blogspot.com

    I love the military look– very cool paired with light eye/dark lips! The under-eye shadow seems like a fad. OK if you’re 15, but not really wearable for most of us.

    I really love the military style with it’s trench coats, jackets, boots, … And I like the make up style of Diane von Fürstenberg. The Rodarte girls are looking sick for me :-) … Kisses from Vienna, Katja

    Love your take on the fall fashion, I will definitely have to get around to purchasing some military pants. Right now I am trying to stock up my closet for spring & summer though, and would love to hear your opinion on some of the most wearable trends for the upcoming months!

    Great beauty choices! I didn’t recap those in my NYFW post, but here are my fashion faves:

    Hooray for more color on lips! The Topshop lace top is a keeper too (timeless).

    I’ve been doing the bold lip with simple eye make-up (mascara) forever. I should look into refreshing my look. The closest thing I’ve done to switching it up is alternating lip shades… poppy, pink, etc… all bold.
    I’m not sure I like the eyebrows combed upward and appearing somewhat unruly. As for the eyeshadow underneath…. I can’t imagine me pulling this off…. even in a subtle manner… I have dark circles for days and is the reason I can’t even wear eyeliner… But i look forward to seeing your interpretation!

    I love that fuller brows are making a comeback! So much cuter than the super thin brows. I’m loving all the sheer!

    You’ve written a wonderful and well organized post. I love these trends for fall, gorgeous.

  • http://definitelypauline.blogspot.com Pauline

    When it comes to fashion trends, I can’t really choose only one because I love them all in their own way.
    But when it comes to beauty, it’s the bold lips that I’m excited for!
