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?

    A lot of your fashion picks I like as well….I have a tulle skirt and love it! Onto beauty, bold lips yes, brows, yes… the Under eye shadow in the center is the only one I like…the rest look raccoon eye baggish….

    OMG…I love all of these trends. I’ve always had a soft spot for embellished items. Sheer noire…so chic! I love how romantic these outfits look. And of course I love the military fem look. It’s become a classic look.

    Loving the embellished trend, really amazing. I wish I was more adventurous with my lip colour too. I think it’s more difficult when you don’t have thick lovely lips!

  • http://strollingthecityinheels.com Emma Finlayson

    Loving the sheer noir trend, but not the under eye shadow so much!

  • http://Www.fashionedible.com FashionEdible

    Love the military fem trend and always have! I think it looks great on anyone. I am liking the bold lip trend and hope to try it at some point.

    I love your picks! My favorite was definitely the military fem and I like the light bold lip.

    great trend recaps! Oscar De La Renta also had a beyond stunning sheer lace number; and I’m SUCH a fan of the bold lip and bare eyes!

    Love the bold brow and military fem!

    Also, one way I do the under eyeshadow trend is to use a shimmer powder so it is light and illuminating!

    Still love the military look!

    always good to change up the look — even at my age — i will always love make up and always love learning new ways to wear it! thanks.

  • LetticiaLyon

    Emily, you are amazing. I have been reading your blog for about three years now and yet never commented on one post. I always do those mental comments to myself of ‘lovely’ or ‘amazing, as always’ but never express my appreciation to you personally. So this is my first comment, and probably won’t be the last. I love your picks from NYFW, I bought a skirt inspired by ‘sheer noir’ over the weekend, I am in LOVE to say the least. Keep up your brilliance. Lx
