NYFW F/W 2011 Roundup: Part I

I cant believe we are already halfway through New York Fashion Week! 

I'm glad that as the economy rebounds, designers feel less guilty about being a little extravagant. Their is definitely a shift from the minimalist designs of seasons past to more flair and fun. Because fashion should be FUN!

So here are my five favorite collections, that i am absolutely LOVING so far this Fashion Week. :

Tadashi Shoji

This collection had me absolutely speechless. I loved every, single, piece.  The cut, the colors, (so many beautiful colors in the Tadashi collection) the glamour! I absolutely NEED the last dress on the end. 

Doo. Ri

I was so drawn to the light fabric and the color scheme in Doo.Ri's collection. I have never been much of a fan of turtleneck, but of course my mind has been changed! However, my absolutely obsession was with the dark teal color she presented in a number of pieces. Definitely one of the hot colors for fall.

Jason Wu

Jason Wu *sigh*. I loved the range in the collection of casual, day wear, to sophisticated evening wear. And the gowns! I need more occasions in my life that permit me to wear gowns like those. 

I also really loved the pants, in the different cuts and rises. Looks like wide leg pant will be transitioning into fall as well!

Rebecca Minkoff

Love. Love. Love. Love. This collection is everything I could possibly ever want and dream of. I think I fell in love with it so much, because I could see myself wearing so many of the piece/it really represented my style. I mean leopard print and sequins?! You had me at hello.

Victoria Beckham

Design is truly Victoria Beckham's calling. She knows and understands the female form,  just what women want to wear, how they want their clothes to fit, as well as how they want to accessorize. This collection was fabulous, literally from head to Louboutined toe. 

Now its your turn! What collections are you absolutely loving from NYFW?
