How could you?

After receiving your fashion week invites, you plan on taking in the top industry taste makers in February or September and have decided to book your favorite luxury hotel New York City style, or its connecting areas from exquisite sites that will give you the ins and outs of amenities. The luxury hotel of your choice reflects the shining glamour of your New York experience or it takes you far away from the lights and runway — if only for an evening. You choose to sleep, dine or relax in the Big Apple at The Standard in New York City or take a leisurely trip to Lake Placid about a five- hour drive away where you’re excited to experience some never-to-be-forgotten fishing and hiking near The Lake Placid Lodge.

Whatever luxury hotel you stay in, you know you can’t skimp on what could cost you in reveling in the entire New York experience. You must see for yourself what all of the glamour and glitz rallied since 1943 is all about. You have to get an up-close and personal look at the latest fall fashions at the 2011 Fall/Winter Fashion week at the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts. Designers from around the world will be there, including Vivienne Tam, a Chinese-born artist whose fashion designs are based in New York City, and whose work is inspired by both Chinese and modern fashion. You have to see what she’s all about.

You know that New York City is the fashion capital of the world, and you don’t want to miss being a part of any of it.

During warmer months especially, fabrics that are Lycra based or even silk, tend to have a hotter stickier feel. For everyday casual stick to the light and flowing fabrics that help to cool, while keeping you fashionable. The other trade secret for keeping cool while looking cool is wear light colors. The opposite goes for the cooler months as the heavier synthetic fabrics and darker colors play a major role in what people wear. Much of fashion is also dictated by the type of climate that is typical. For instance, people in Miami, Florida would never wear charcoal gray wool sweaters, and people in Maine would never consider wearing sandals in February. Make sure that your style of clothing is a good reflection of not just you, but also the area that you live in. It is always a good idea to stick with color and trends that seem to be appropriate, because it is wiser to not have shock value, and to just look good.

Wearing gaudy costume jewelry is a nice touch to add to a beautiful dress. This can be done with larger than normal dangle earrings, a nice bracelet, and depending on the neckline of the dress, a nice necklace. Watches are typically not worn for special occasions, and rings are usually kept to a minimum. The color also is important. The saying, “dripping in diamonds,” is fitting for this type of situation so you want to stay away from too many colored stones, and just stick with the white diamond look. The final touch for an outfit that is more formal is the purse. It is a major no-no to have a bulky fashion purse. Try opting for a solid colored clutch, as this adds a touch of sophistication to the look, and can be light to handle throughout the evening.
