Don't Mess with Texas {Nail Polish}

Being the largest state in the continental US, it seems only fitting that OPI would release a Spring/Summer collection dedicated to the great state of Texas. With names like

Austin-tatious Turquoise, It's Totally Fort Worth It, and Ya'll Come Back Ya Hear, you're bound to find the right lone star shade for you! The polish is highly pigmented, so you get great coverage with just two layers and they are all great shades for spring. I'm rather partial to Big Hair, Big Nails and Houston We Have a Purple myself. Check out the 12 shades below, and start planning your next mani/pedi ladies!

NY Fashion Week Fall 2011: Doo Ri

Doo Ri Chung brought back her signature draping this season, but managed to mix things up a bit with some more tailored pieces paired with felt coats all of which fit in well with her "linear structure" concept. She really hit it out of the park for the most part...aside from a few coats that seemed far too long and a bit of layering that was off. Sheer and leather inserts adorned silky floor-length jersey gowns, while others had cord macramé details that were to die for. Fur made an appearance again on this runway, as side long, chunky knits. Overall the collection was full of edgy elegance that at times was quite dramatic, but at the same time it seemed totally accessible and really something any woman could pull off (I mean aside from some of these dresses, unless you are 5'11" with a bangin body in which case I would like to know your secret immediately).

NY Fashion Week Fall 2011: Cynthia Rowley

Geometric patterns paired with rich, feminine fabrics like velvet, chevron, and silk charmeause ruled the runway at the Cynthia Rowley show this week. One of the stand-out looks, a skirt with a prism print had a 3-D effect, while others included sequined skirts and glittered sweaters paired with silky high-neck blouses. Prominent colors included mustard yellow, cobalt blue, deep teals and greens and of course the standard greys and blacks. A really great color palette if you ask me. Rowley's designs this season were simple and sophisticated which is something she does quite well.

NY Fashion Week Fall 2011: Alexander Wang

Alexander Wang went back to his roots this season with his signature black and grey neutrals, but added a bit of luxury with fur details and glittered pants. He really is a super star in the industry, and he proved it again this week on the New York runways. He mentioned during a preview that "We're almost poking fun at decadence and luxury". He accomplished that with the lush mink details on everything from coats to the straps of sunglasses and heels which, while poking a bit of fun, still remained classy and cool. Ponchos went from angora at the top to silk at the bottom, tuxedo jackets were given puffy sleeves, and thick ribbed sweaters were slit up the side. The cool-chick made a triumphant return on the runway with this collection in true Alexander Wang style.

NY Fashion Week: Prubal Gurung

Though Prabal Gurung took some risks this season, taking inspiration from characters such as Miss Haversham from Great Expectations, he managed to create a combination of romantic and edgy looks that worked quite well together. The star of the show was a red faille party dress with a full skirt, and one sleeve slipping down model Karlie Kloss' shoulder as she worked the runway. There were clear victorian references throughout, with high collars and belled sleeves on both tops and dresses. Backless coats, lace details, and peplum gowns rounded out a show that was flirty and dramatic. Hombre colors, another popular theme for fall, made a splash on this runway as well. Gurung questioned whether he could "do undone" and the answer is a resounding yes! Keep an eye out on the red carpets for some of these dresses, because there is no doubt they will make an appearance.
