Fall Preview: Duro Olowu

Well, Summer is coming to an end and all stores are getting rid of Summer pieces to make room for Fall.  I love this time of the year, because of  Summer sales, Fashion Week, the anticipation of wearing cozy sweaters and boots, the chill in the air sneaks up in the evenings, and of course my birthday closes out the Summer as it falls on Labor Day this year.  Don't get me wrong I love Summer, but to me the "Real" fashion starts during the Fall/Winter season.  This Duro Olowu collection just screams Fall/Winter and what I get excited about!

Have a look. . . 

Are you ready for Fall?

Streetstyle: NYFW

Last week I was in New York for the Independent Fashion Bloggers (IFB) conference which kicked off one of my favorite times of the year...NYFW! The Blah Blah Birds had a blast at the conference, but definitely not ready for the cold weather and a BLIZZARD!  What?  That is what I said when I found out it was coming.  This girl from LaLa Land was not prepared for this at all.  I brought three pairs of suede boots.  Not a great choice!  I was having major wardrobe issues, and there was nothing I could do, but suck it up and make do.   I was COLD!  :(  Didn't make it to Lincoln Center, but...

Looking at the street style photos from the first couple of days, the weather did not stop the show, but just upped the style factor.  Fashion week is in full swing and the street fashion was fabulous.  

Here are some of my favs...
