Behind the Scenes of Spring 2012

I can never get enough of behind the scenes coverage from fashion week. For me it tells a much more interesting story than runway shots and street style pics. You can really see the texture and emotion that makes the fashion industry thrive.

Versus Versace Fall 2011-Inspired Nails

On an impulse the other day, I ran over to Bloomingdale's after work and picked up a few new bottles of polish including Chanel's Graphite. When it comes to metallic polishes, you cannot do better than Chanel. Their colors are so multifaceted it blows my mind every time. In my excitement, I had to find a collection to suit my new glittery, slightly edgy goodness and Versus Versace's Fall 2011 show hit all the right marks. I mixed up the base layer of Graphite with a couple of Nubar's polishes for variety and used painter tape as a guide to get extra-clean lines.

In the photos I am wearing my collection of rings, a Gorjana necklace, H&M sweater and have my favorite Power Support Tibi iPhone case.

Need: Giles & Brother Archer Cuff

The clean lines on this beautiful Giles & Brother cuff make it a must-have. I usually favor daintier pieces, but this has enough heft to stand out without being a "statement piece." Fall's chunky knits and long sleeves tend to call for chunkier pieces. It doesn't hurt that the interlocking rings bring to mind Celine's knot bracelet either.

Zana Bayne for Prabal Gurung

After clicking around randomly on Zana Bayne's website earlier this week, I discovered that she created the amazing harnesses in Prababl Gurung's Spring 2012 collection. I really think this is the most exciting thing and so amazing for Zana. I hope we get to see more young, creative minds working together in fashion, but I hope if that happens, it doesn't take random browsing to discover it. I really hope they sell these pieces because I am one step closer to being on team harness.

H&M Hair Cuff

I've been spotting a certain item across a few of my favorite blogs recently. That item is H&M's version of the Dries Van Noten Fall 2011 hair cuff. This was literally my favorite wearable trend from the Fall 11 shows and at an H&M price, it must be mine. Unfortunately both of these bloggers live in H&M's homeland of Scandinavia and so far, my combing of Manhattan H&M locations has proved unfruitful. If anyone has spotted this item, please let me know!
