New York fashion week fall 2011 is now available to see at the Fashion Magazine website. You can check out some Vera Wang, BCBG, and Micheal Kors looks that were really well made and reflected the casual elegance and class that is associated with this season. There are great neutrals that are all showing up as well, which I think reflect the direction that the fall season is taking.

Bottega Veneta
The new fall RTW line by Tomas Maier Is one of the best lines I have seen for fall. I honestly melted, I've never paid much attention to this brand before however I feel very inspired by it and want to buy everything in the line. I always love to find new pieces and styles so what my advice to you is that you should always look and try to find new pieces and line that you may not have liked before and try to acquaint yourself with as many elements of fashion as you can. The great thing about fashion is that there's always something new, there's always something to inspire you further and keep the love of fashion alive.

Fall 2011 Celine
Loved the new line! There is something very European about the way this line was put together. Although a lot of the models in the show (which you can check out on Vogue.com in the collections section) had godawful horse faces. I don't know why some of these models are selected. The entire fashion industry is so concerned with being original that they will take a lot of models and piece and ideas that are just flat out weird. Anyways, the line was great the use of leather and furs mixed together reminded me of hunting parties that I have seen in movies. I also really liked that the line was sporting the new "midi" length skirt.
I like the lines in this look and the combination of different fabrics. The cut and the combination of the fabrics work well together to make a sleek look
This outfit reminds me of a riding party and that is why it makes me so happy. I love the cinched waist with the belt and the fur combined with leather here for that real English Shooting party vibe.
This look below makes me think of aristocrats in Europe who would just drape themselves in fur, except this look is a much more modern take on it.
This dress is a very understated sexy to me and it too has that nice combination of textures that you can see on the first outfit.

Oscars! Who got it right?
The 2011 Oscars were not the best in the style department. I'm going to start with that because I really don't see a lot of effort to be creative and show real design skill and beauty in the fashion at the Oscars this year. I found some who tried to be creative, looked insane, like Cate Blanchett who showed up in Givenchy couture looking like Spock's mistress. Those other startlets who tried to keep it simple looked either boring, like Michelle Williams in Chanel, or pageant-y like Reese Witherspoon in Giorgio Armani Prive. I love all of these actresses normally, they are usually wearing something beautiful and interesting, and FLATTERING! But I have to say they may have been my biggest dissappointments.
There were a few that wore something that was not bad, however it could have been tweaked in order to make it go that extra mile. Gwyneth Paltrow in Calvin Klein had a great cut, especially for her slender frame, I loved the neckline and the hem at the bottom but I would have changed two things. One I would have had the dress in a fabric without the shine it looked a little Vegas, and second I would have taken that pin off the waistline, it disrupted the sleekness of the dress and with a designer like Calvin Klein I feel reserved to say that jewelery should be minimal.
Second on my list of people who need to fix it to make it fabulous, is Mila Kunis. She did look great and sexy, but I felt that the dress fits more with the description for the Grammy's because it was a lot of skin. I think with such a sexy top to the dress the skirts layers should have had another layer underneath. The line between beautiful dress and beautiful lingerie was crossed and all that she needed was a thin layer of fabric underneath the skirt.
Mila Kunis may have been a little bit of an exhibitionist but she was nothing compared to some of the women who just needed to take care of their boobs. When you don't wear a bra, your boobs look saggy and sometimes just flat out weird. Jennifer Hudson, Camila Alves I am talking to you. Another starlet with breast issues was Penelope Cruz, The dress was too tight and gaudy, and her boobs not only were smooshed into the top of the dress, but attention was brought to them by the Cher-a-licious glitter and shine on the dress.
Finally something good! Sandra Bullock looked stunning the colour on her skin was perfect the neckline was interesting without looking like it was inspired by Star Trek, she looked lovely. In a very similar dress Anne Hathaway the hostess with the mostest looked really quite good in the Valentino dress she was sporting on the crimson carpet.
All I have to say is that if I only really love two gowns out of all of the celebs who attended the Oscars it is a little sad that people wont go out of their way to look great anymore and don't know how to push the envelope int he right way.
