alice + olivia NYFW

Hey darlin's ^.^

OK I'm just going to get into it....I'm in lo-ooove!! It was love at first sight I would have to say...and the feeling is mutual...no it's not a man, it's "alice + olivia" fall collection 2012.  hahaha it's basically the same feelings though, just as if you met the man of your dreams...my heart fluttered, my pupils enlarged and I couldn't pull my eyes away *.*

I'm so impressed by Stacy Bendet's collection, powerful, edgy, ultra-femme, glamorous, are just a few words I would use to describe the line.

I love everything from the peplum dresses, the sequined gowns with edgy cropped leather jackets, the 60's silhouettes, girly frocks, lace backless dresses, tailored suits, and the intense jewel tone colors.

I'm also a fan of the dark smokey eye and the dark plum lips.

I know you're going to fall in love too :)
