fashion week {fall}

Happy Fashion Friday!

Last week, we needed to refer back to the NY Spring Fashion Week held in September. We are a little excited about dressing for Spring {and a little sick of the cold, snowy weather}!

Now, we are ready to reflect on Fall fashion shown this month at the NY Fall Fashion Week. Gorgeous, simple, geometric and lots of black/dark colors. Happy dressing for 2012 everyone!

fashion week {spring}

In celebration of New York Fashion Week taking place this past week, we felt an urge to post some fierce fashion on this Fashion Friday!

Although fashion week showcased Fall fashion this week, we are anticipating the “warm weather light” at the end of this “cold weather winter tunnel”! Here are some of the spring fashions highlighted at the Spring Fashion Week this past September. Spring … we are ready for you and all your fashion glory!

all dressed up in love

I can just hear the song by Jennifer Hudson from the Sex and the City Movie.
{I couldn’t find an official music or movie video, so this will just have to do for now}.

you are my sunshine

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

My mom and I sing this to my kids all the time. My daughter particularly loves it ~ her eyes light up when she hears it, and when the song is over she always asks for more.

It’s a meaningful song to me, so I brought it to life with my inspiration board today. Hope it brings a little sunshine to your winter day…and I think it’s a sweet spin on Valentine’s Day for your loved one {make your Valentine feel like he/she is the sunshine of your life}.

I’ll leave you with a cupcake recipe that looks like it tastes as refreshing, yummy and sweet as sunshine. It makes me wish summer was here.
