The epitome of the NYC cool girl (having met her in person I can verify that!), Rebecca Minkoff turned out a collection that seemed made less for the runway than for the sidewalks of New York's hottest districts at night. You could step out onto the streets and see any number of 20-somethings wearing these outfits to work, to restaurants, on the weekend. Classic, easy, and effortless with that extra factor of modern style, the pieces are super covetable - I'm dying for the jacket on the bottom right and the dress on the bottom left. And of course, her eponymous bags look as great as ever.

My first love of fashion week: Christian Siriano. Having been (and still currently) a Project Runway obsessive, I always am excited to see how far he's come since then. The modern, edgy black looks were my favorite of his collection - the different textures, fabric and separates come together so well. Such "New York" looks.

After a long and stressful week filled with midterms, I can say with excitement that New York Fashion Week starts today! I live across the street from Lincoln Center at home and am so sad to be at college during this week - I'm sure the shows and street style are going to be absolutely fabulous.
