New York Fashion Week Picks

It’s that time of year again! From classic designers like Diane von Furstenberg and Marc Jacobs to new favorites Victoria Beckham and Christian Siriano, it is never a dull moment at New York Fashion Week — it is certainly always a fashionable one, though!

Even though the lines showcased this week are intended for Spring/Summer 2012, it never hurts to plan your outfits ahead. This is why Moni Moni wanted to show off our top picks; one thing is for sure — we cannot wait to burst out our prints come next season!

Splendor Large in Vanilla

First we have a look from Anna Wintour favorite Carolina Herrera. How perfect would this look go with the Splendor Large in Vanilla? The green jacket and sparrow printed skirt are to die for! The soft, luscious leather of the Splendor handbag accentuates the femininity of this tailored outfit — it’s great to take to work, too!

Tote Mocha Latte

Our next pick comes from Chris Benz, who quickly gained recognition in the fashion world for scoring the coveted CFDA scholarship a few years ago and then later interned with Marc Jacobs. We love the quirky, fun take on this rather conservative cut — it looks dreamy with the Tote Mocha Latte.

Mini Luna Candy

Lastly, we absolutely needed to find an excuse to pair the Mini Luna Candy with a NYFW look. Thankfully, designer Rachel Roy didn’t let us down with this sophisticated and professional outfit. Can you tell how much we love prints?

P.S. Check out how fashion blogger Claire of De Lune prepped for NYFW with the classic Moni Moni Splendor.

Romantic Gypsies Inspired Kate Moss to Wed

While many folks are still in awe over Kate Middleton‘s royal wedding, another famous Kate didn’t spare any expenses when it came to her own! Supermodel Kate Moss married Jamie Hince of The Kills earlier last month, and this month’s Vogue magazine has all the details and photos of the lavish affair. Despite having been engaged since 2008, Moss explains in the article that she didn’t get around to tying the knot until the British documentary Big Fat Gypsy Weddings persuaded her.

Kate Moss with her husband

“I am so romantic about Gypsies. They’re not allowed to do anything until they get married. So they all get married really young, at sixteen. You can’t believe the dresses. They’re like blinging butterflies times ten; they can’t move down the aisle! It’s so genius. I was just watching Jamie, so cute, and I was like, these girls, they just spend their whole life waiting for that day—let’s do it!”

Just as romance and extravagances sparked passion in Kate, these dreamy notions also inspire many Moni Moni designs. The Dolce Vita bag in particular brings a flirty elegance unmatched in its precision Italian leather. Although it may be an everyday go-to bag, the design is sure to compliment any romantic, edgy, or business event — it’s an all-around everything bag with the utmost class.

Like Kate, every woman ought to follow their inspirations — especially when it comes to purchasing handbags, of course!

Kate Middletons Wedding Dress on Display in London

Kate Middleton’s dress, made of ivory and white satin gazar, was designed to emulate an opening flower and certainly bloomed both envy and awe in everyone around the world. The beautiful and famous bridal dress worn for the Royal Wedding was known for having great body, stiffness and architectural drama. The dress proved to be light and airy as well, finishing a perfect and highly sophisticated design. Combining tradition and modernity with the artistic vision that characterizes Alexander McQueen’s work, the dress is now on display at Buckingham Palace, where thousands of visitors have rushed to see it.

The newest royal bride’s dress is certain to spark a trend in wedding gowns — perhaps even reshape the bridal industry — for years to come, with knockoff artists waiting in the wings to quickly replicate the design. The exhibition organizers are expecting huge interest in the gown, which is being shown alongside Catherine’s shoes, her diamond earrings and the halo tiara she borrowed from Queen Elizabeth II to hold her silk-tulle veil in place.

If you’ve fallen in love with the design and look, it would be no surprise that the fondness everyone has acquired will spill out onto your everyday style. Consider some of Moni Moni’s popular handbags to pay homage to the defining gown — and, if you’re one of the lucky ones who will be able to visit the dress on display, it’s sure to compliment the dress and draw some gazes, too!
