New York Fashion Week: Betsey Johnson RTW 2013

Print Micro Mini Shirt Dress

FISHNET to fuse edginess and sexy

I want these high-waisted back pants!

I love the crimped hair, leopard print and fun pack...think 80s meet Clueless!
Accessories add definition to any piece!

Flawless Makeup Face

Minnie Mouse Chic
Love the lace knee-highs mixed with the sparkly peep toes!

Be Bold: Mix Colors! (But keep the accessory colors in the same family)
The Perfect Fun and Flirty Cocktail Dress!  STAND OUT: This is also a great alternative for a prom dress!
Dazzle in Black Sheer and Multicolored Jewels! Great Combination.


I have always loved Betsey Johnson and her fun collections, so when I saw a preview of the Spring 2013 RTW collection on The Wendy Williams Show, I knew it was gonna be good!  Her collection was full of feminine frills and gaudy hardware mixed with nostalgic pieces and print, sheer and lace. When I heard of Betsey's bankruptcy, I feared that her clothing would be lack-luster and generically manufactured; however, I was reassured of Betsey's influence and commitment to quirky creativity when I saw her 2013 collection.  Although some pieces, I would not wear and borderline looking cheap.. Overall, I love her fun and eccentric clothing and lifestyle!  What are your thoughts?  Which pieces are your favorite?

ALICE + OLIVIA Lolita Look


Try the lolita makeup look
Rock a smokey eye or thick, black eyeliner...
...and dark burgundy lips.

The ultimate party dress
Sequins, leather and fur!  
Love love love the leather shorts with the knee high stockings
The print and structure of this dress is breathtaking.
Luxe + Casual wear in monochromatic tones
The sweater and skirt are must-haves and are great separates to mix n match
This dress and lace gloves scream MEEE!
Brocade dresses speak for themselves.  So timeless and elegant!


Because I am a self proclaimed vixen and I love lolita inspired looks, I fell in love with Stacey Bendet's Alice + Olivia 2012 collection at NYFW.  Her collection is filled with leather, fur, sequins, bouclé, jacquard embroidery, brocades and prints.  The inspiration for the look was said to be reminiscent of a 'Lolita attending a dinner party'.  Stacey describes it best, “This season she’s a sexy, rebellious Lolita-inspired vixen who can also play the charming innocent schoolgirl.”  Which look is your fave??

Marchesa designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig created beautifully unique gowns at New York Fashion Week 2012 at The Plaza Hotel. Although all of their gowns were stunning, Marchesa's RED LACE was most memorable.  I can't wait to see more celebs in this red hot look!  Pair with natural makeup, pale pink lips and a bold, gold shimmery eye for a sultry appeal.  Stun in MARCHESA red lace!
