I was very pleased to be a part of a photo session held at the Metropolitan Pavilion during New York Fashion Week by Style 360 and the New York Post! It most definitely was the highlight to my New York Fashion Week experience for the Fall 2012 seasonal collections. Often, because of my various fashion columns, I’m asked about what I enjoy wearing. So here is the breakdown of my latest look! Viva la Fashion Week!! Best accessory: smile!

American Express Fashion Week Skybox
It’s most definitely many a girls dream to be able to sit at a Fashion Show for a top designer during Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week! I for one was extremely excited when I learned that I had the opportunity to sit at Jill Stuart’s Fall 2012 show at Lincoln Center. I had the pleasure to view the show from the exclusive American Express Fashion Skybox.
Celebrating its tenth season as a sponsor of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, American Express continues to showcase its dedication and commitment to the fashion industry through its evolving roster of tailored experiences. With the return of the coveted Skybox Space, the Cardmember Lounge perched high above the runways, Cardmembers were given unparalleled access to the week’s most exciting shows from the comfort of the plush VIP lounge.
It was clear to see the reasons why in Jill Stuart’s world — it’s fun to be a girl, again. Floral sheaths, peter-pan collars, her exclusive prints in gorgeous colors such as iris blue, purple and rose popped against a black background. Sexy platform patent and suede shoes accented these flirty looks while celebrities such as Olivia Palermo took in the show. You can find out the chic details regarding how the models looked so fabulous for the show, below — with the inside beauty scoop. Also, I would like to share a video clip that I took while chatting with Jill immediately after her NYFW show! She discusses her love of vintage fashions and how they influence her lovely collections!
