Dashing Diva was everywhere this season, prepping models backstage at several shows. There was Jillian Lewis, Mikhael Kale, Lorick, Caroline Seikaly, L.A.M.B., Tahari, Rosa Cha, and Georges Chakra to name a few.
This season seemed to be about largely about the neutrals.
One of my favorite nail hues was Dashing Diva's Trust Fund as seen at Erin Fetherston:
As you prepare to stow away your summer polishes, head to Dashing Diva and stock up on neutrals for spring.

The L.A.M.B. runway was an eclectic mix of bold prints, crazy colors, and a juxtaposition of pretty and punk. The looks were edgy and altogether youthful.
There were some looks that kept me guessing, but many of the pieces just took my breath away. (Such as the darling white lace tights below that I must have right now! As Sarah from Style IT would say, "I need them in my life!")
All in all, I've always been a big proponent of L.A.M.B. and if this season was so much fun, I'm so excited to see what happens next season!
The kickoff day to Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week was a flutter of excitement as BCBG Max Azria presented another successful runway show.
The latest collection, a youthful line celebrating colors and angles, provided a refreshing retreat from the post-summer blues.
Using asymmetrical angles, vibrant hues, and color blocking patterns, BCBG makes this girl desire seeing these looks transcend from the runway to her closet!

The news of the Rachel | Rachel Roy Pop Up Store's Sept. 9 opening ran in WWD, and outlines the exciting details:
Best of all, Rachel Roy plans to visit the store regularly to give customers the total Rachel Rachel Roy experience: “Having your own store is the only medium through which you get to tell your story to the customer in its complete essence.”
For a doll that's only about 12-inches tall, Barbie's reign is larger than life. The plastic mistress has been instructing young girls in what to wear, which career to choose, and how to throw a proper pool party for half a century.
How do you celebrate the birthday of a "woman" who has wed Ken several times before divorcing him; saved animals as a veterinarian; worked as a school teacher; worked as an astronaut; had a brief stint as a McDonalds employee; moved to Hawaii and then to Malibu; grown her hair past her waist; been a rock star; acted as primary caregiver to three younger sisters; changed ethnicities; filmed her own workout tape; impersonated innumerable celebrities; collaborated with MAC cosmetics; owned a dreamhouse and several pink cars; won Miss America; has always stayed fit; and walks on heels every day?
Why, you create her very own runway show at New York Fashion Week, of course! This February, the powers-that-be behind the Barbie empire (Mattel UK) have collaborated with 50 designers--Givenchy, Dior, Vera Wang, and Oscar de la Renta, to name a few--who will create human sized outfits inspired by Barbie herself. Even Christian Louboutin is on board, and will be designing the doll's signature pink pumps.
I don't think Ken will be on the guest list.
If that's not enough, the department store giant, Bloomingdales, will adorn the windows of its flagship store with all things Barbie during Fashion Week.
It just goes to show: you don't have to be tall or outspoken to get ahead. You only need to be blonde and successful. Happy Birthday, Barbie!
