Betsey Johnson Pays Homage To The "Pretty Woman" At #NYFW

Runway Notes! Spotted: A Pretty Woman-inspired look on Betsey Johnson's vivacious FW/14 runway. I mean, did you expect anything less dramatic from Johnson? Ah, please. The seasoned fashion designer is always pushing industry limits whilst embracing the "fashion is freedom of expression" philosophy. Obvs!

S/S 2011 RTW - BETSEY JOHNSONSKATEBOARDS! BIKES! CHAINS!(My Top 5!)

Style Notes | One of the themes of Betsey Johnson's runway show during NY Fashion Week (Sept. 2010) was Ride Me. Just look around the necks' of the gorge models and you'll see in-your-face sparkle-y chokers (i.e costume-y jewelry) [Ha] So BJ Style! 

In addition to the Ride Me theme, I believe the sailor-inspired suits to be pretty cool. But none of those pieces made my top five.

While deciding which runway looks I liked best, I thought: What would make a fabulous Halloween outfit? Last year I was dressed in sexy dark goth attire; this year I want to turn things up a notch and dress in bright colors!

Colorful Tweed Military Jacket

Style Notes! From the color to the tailoring -- this military-inspired jacket stole my heart. Secret: I'm a complete sucker for big, bold, black buttons!
