More Favorite Looks from NY Fashion Week Spring 2011

Okay, so I just had to pick a few more Fashion Week favorites. There are just so many great looks for Spring/Summer 2011! Most of these looks are from off-site shows, with the exception of Elie Tahari, Nanette Lepore and Z Spoke by Zac Posen.

I love Twinkle by Wenlan's mini dresses in fun, colorful prints. I had a bad experience last time I tried to go to this sample sale, where the staff was snooty and ridiculous, but I'm willing to give this sale another shot just because I love these dresses so much....I'll be sure to get names and video footage if they act like that again!

Twinkle by Wenlan's 10th Anniversary and Pop-Up Shop

Wenlan Chia

Twinkle by Wenlan's pop-up shop is open from Thursday, December 10th through Saturday, December 12th. The 3-day shop is located at Cadillac's Closet, at 333East 9th Street. At the pop-up shop you'll find fall and holiday 2009 collections, re-issued, limited edition designs, special anniversary items and Twinkle Living items, including bedding.

I caught the tail end of the opening party last night, in which Twinkle was also celebrating a 10-year anniversary. Chunky sweaters, scarves and hats are definitely appropriate for the blistering cold weather. So be sure to stay warm and fashionable!
