NYFW: {band of outsiders}

Posted on February 22, 2012 by juliewatsonstyle

For his Fall 2012 collections, American designer Scott Sternberg had the Southwest infused in all three of his labels – Band of Outsiders {menswear}, boy. {menswear-inspired womenswear}, and girl. {womenswear}. These were the most-anticipated NYFW collections for Annie, our men’s {and women’s} wardrobe consultant…and they were nothing short of refreshing – shapes were sharp, colors were clean, and neutrals lighter than the typical fall grey garb.
Here, current and coming-soon collections.

NYFW: {rag & bone}

Posted on February 20, 2012 by juliewatsonstyle

At the top for tasteful tones of twill & denim {and knit blazers, oh my!} last season, acclaimed New York label Rag & Bone was Emily’s must-see for Fall 2012 collections. Their city-chic mixed accessible prints {arrows & polka dots} with tried-and-true patterns {stripes & herringbone} — metallics & leather adding life to dark, neutral fabrics.
Here, a taste of in-store stand-outs and what’s-to-come {not soon enough}.
