Charlotte & Lisa Scarves

If you're anything like the fashion crazed lunatic that I am you're probably already craving to start wearing all of the fall styles we're seeing. I'm already dreaming of the lush sweaters, chunky scarves, and tall boots.

I've been browsing around and found a pair of newcomer scarf designers! Charlotte & Lisa are two friends living together in NYC who met in Paris. Their scarves have an innovative aspect to them, yet still basic enough to wear all season. There's the 'hooded scarf with fur', which is beyond beneficial to those days where that jacket that doesn't have a hood just has to be paired with that dress! My favorite is the 'military scarf' that drapes beautifully and has perfect accents.

Akris Fall/Winter 2012-13

For the Akris Fall/Winter 2012-13 ready to wear collection, Albert Kriemler took an architectural approach with an outstanding minimalism effect. The collection had a nice array of colors, silhouettes, and styles. I could see a lot of different women wearing these pieces. The only details on a few of the pieces I did not like were the oversized sleeves hanging down way below the hand. It looked sloppy to me and all I could think was, "I need to take that to go get tailored!"

Other than that minor dislike (which was only prevalent on a few of the pieces) I enjoyed the collection. Here are a few of my favorite looks from the show.
