WARM WEATHER BLUES: THE ACACIA SWIMSUIT @ PLANET BLUE

I saw this adorable swim suit at Planet Blue and wished that I were somewhere that was 80 degrees, sunny, with endless margaritas being delivered to my beach chair by some gorgeous island boy toy. Ahhhhh, please bring on the summer. Acacia Swim Wear available at Planet Blue.

EDITOR'S NOTES: MBFW - TOP 5 LOOKS AT MARC JACOBS

TOP 5 LOOKS AT MARC JACOBS

Alright, let's just all admit that Marc Jacobs stole the show at NY Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2012. No one (except Alexander Wang) even came close. Can we just say that we were blown by the set that was built for the stage? Did you see that it had an upstairs to it from which Mr. Jacobs, himself, descended? This was Marc Jacobs at his best. I loved all of the looks and the styling was fabulous. The big hats and the incredible metallic buckle shoes... whew! It was incredibly hard but here are my top 5 looks at Marc Jacobs:

EDITOR'S NOTES: MBFW - TOP 5 LOOKS AT RACHEL ROY

TOP 5 LOOKS AT RACHEL ROY

One of the things that I love about Rachel Roy is her love of color and patterns. She always has the best patterns and you can rest assure that you will be able to find a mixture of big, bold colors in all of her collections. It was a great departure from all of the black on the Fall/Winter 2012 runways.

Here are the top 5 looks:
