Tibi FW 2011

The Tibi show was the day after Valentine's Day so the husband and I decided to make a date out of it.





I wore Rick Owens leather jacket, some random sweater dress, leggings and Ann Demeulemeester boots.
The Rick Owens jacket is a few seasons old but I think it still bad ass :).

A few of my favorite looks in the collection...






The place was packed! We were in standing room so was not able to take good photos.
But we managed to had fun being amongst fashion folks and people-watching.









'Til next season!

Doo.Ri FW 2011

What can I say? This collection has got to be one of my favorites.
Fell in love with the spider web-like details, jersey drapery and the thigh high boots.
Lucked out and had a fantastic view in the front row.









Also spotted some of my favorite bloggers!

Richard Chai FW 2011

I did not anticipate to still be able to attend NYFW this season because of my pregnancy.
But with Lucy coming a little early, I had enough time to recover from my operation.
Thanks also to the folks at KCD for still including me on their invite list.
The new mommy appreciates a quick "me" time now and then :).

What I Wore

I refuse to buy new clothes at this point as I know my body is still changing.
Here I am 3 weeks post partum.
The body is not the same... more curves, bigger chest, wider hips (no jeans fit yet), extra pounds, scars, etc.
So I delved into my closet and searched for those that would fit.
I settled on a Marc Jacobs cap sleave vest, my favorite Pollini skirt and Derek Lam booties.



The Show



Richard Chai loosened up a bit in his latest collection.
The clothes are more flowy, some had prints, even sequins!
Even the hair style is less severe than the past season. There was even a model with pink hair!
The pieces are very wearable and effortless. I especially loved the finale look.








He's still quite the hunk! ;)

Sweetness

My sweet-smelling Valentine...
Happy Valentine's Day! :)
