I know everyone reports on all the fashion on the catwalk, but I'm pumped to share some great imagery from behind the scenes. I think some of the biggest trends are actually revealed/taken note of off the runway. Some of these looks are wild and hard to pull off but if you dissect each ensemble, you're sure to find something that appeals or inspires. Some trends I'm spying/loving in this lineup: bold color, sleek black pieces, sheer luxury and modern metallic.
First Look
First Look: Style Advice - Fall Fashion Favorites from the Front Row at Spring 2012 NYFW
Advice: Mandy Moore stepped out in a bold dress that's one of fall's hottest hues: rusty red! Layer it with last season's statement necklace and metallic heels. Also, take note of her matching lip shade - love that!
Advice: Don't exclude your favorite sherbert shades when dressing this fall, just like Amamanda Seyfried. There was a strong surge of this color palette so make sure to sport one of these shades soon.
Advice: I'm so in love with Whitney's Port's look. Sheer army green, mustard a-line skirt and a animal print clutch round out the ensemble. She's one of my favorite (and risktaking) ladies to watch. My girl, Ashely Tisdale is sporting a tshirt and choker necklace, which is one of fall's hottest accessories.
Advice: Yeah, yeah...I know what you're thinking. Color blocking was so last season but pulling it off in this seasons lady-like silhouette and in unexpected shades (including fall's mustard) means a fresh take on an instant classic. We adore Elisha Cuthbert's look above.
Advice: Jaime King and Emma Roberts are all pleats and smiles. A pleated piece is muy importante if fashionable fall dressing is top on your list this year.
Advice: Lea Michele's nude dress and slit hemline is photo perfection but it's her bold blue shoes that have us drooling. Opt for a unexpected pop of color when sporting nude hues.
Advice: Mandy Moore (here she is again, what a stylish lady), Julianne Hough and Rose McGowan sport some of fall's hottest shades. Reds, dark pinks, purples and rust colored pieces are hot for fall.
Advice: Rose Byrne's fresh pairing of bright pink and bold red heels is splendid. We're going to pairing these hot fall shades together all season long!
First Look: How to Wear It Under $50 - 25 Ways to Wear a Fall Scarf
Thanks to my friend Jamie for such a great, great video tutorial. I've actually never a) seen this video or b) seen so many of these scarf wearing options. It's funny how you can get in a scarf wearing rut. You don it the same three styles, every time. Now I'm ready to experiment and play around with other scarf styling options.
So after watching the video...I'm a big fan of the Celebrity, my sister loves the European Loop and we were at a wedding this weekend where numerous women were sporting the Wrap. Here's three I can't wait to try: the Braid, the Decoration and the Bunny Ear! Which do you prefer? Seriously, check out the video...you'll love it!

First Look: Style Inspired - Rachel Roy's Fall 2011 Collection
We loved this collection when we saw it and can't wait to show you some of our favorite pieces. Our love for Rachel Roy is undeniable because she's really a woman's designer. She knows our bodies, accents via her silhouettes and knows we want double-duty pieces for a wider range of wear. Her Fall 2011 Collection (it'll be here before we know it) garnered wide acclaim for stepping away from her eveningwear and finding her place in ready-to-wear daily pieces. Check out some of our faves below and click HERE for more Rachel Roy goodies!

Cute, classic and totally comfortable...Hunter has surely hit a chord with these ballet flat stunners. Known for their knee high classic rainboot HERE, Hunter is branching out in a smart way. Rain gear that does double duty as an office flat? Très chic and super smart, me thinks! Click HERE to check out all your color options and to purchase these goodies for $95. Love, love, love them!

You know we're a huge fan of monochromatic looks or similar palette combos, so this is absolutely adorable and a total MUST for spring/summer dressing.

First Look: Collection Covet - Chloé Fall 2011
Hannah MacGibbon's for Chloé Fall 2011 was spot on and on trend. Snakeskin, bright hues, intricate details and timely silhouettes breezed down the stark white runway. It is, hands down, one of my favorite fall collections thus far. Wearable, pairable, covetable...MacGibbon's use of beautiful and bold color and day wear shapes garner her collections as a 2011 jetset must. Check out my hand picked favorite looks from the 32 piece collection. You can see all the fashion magic, in its entirety, right HERE.
First Look: Top Ten from Rachel Zoe's Ready to Wear Fall 2011 Collection
Keeping in true Rachel Zoe style, our thoughts about her eponymous new collection can be summed up into two little words, 'I die!' (For clarification on that, click HERE.) Her collection has a strong 70s vibe along with a vintage flair that's wearable, ladylike and eye catching. Check out the entire collection HERE and view our top ten hand picked looks below. Nothing to buy today, nothing to review either...just some good old RTW fashion that's sure to start your day off on the right (and fashionable) foot. Enjoy!

First Look: Fashion DIY - How to Make Your Own Hip Bag (aka: Fanny Pack) for $14.99
We know you're already extremely well aware of our insane love of hip bags (aka: fanny packs or belt bags) HERE, HERE and HERE...so it should come as no surprise that we're finally sporting our own. After our recent features on Fashion DIY'ers (HERE and HERE) we decided it was high-time to put our own creativity to good use and start our own little DIY project.
You may/may not know that we're DIY JUNKIES around the house (HERE) but seldom cross over into fashion and beauty territory. Everyone once in a while we'll whip up some homemade bubble bath (HERE) or even make our own avocado and coconut oil face mask, but that's about it.
Today is a new day readers as we're turning over a new leaf! We'd like to welcome a new category to our repertoire. Fashion DIY will be 'our' new category, meaning ours and yours! Do you have a knack for Fashion Do-It-Yourself projects...please share with us via RunwayDaily@RunwayDaily.com.
Or maybe you'll be inspired to tackle some of our own featured DIY projects such as our new shoulder/hip bag today. Feel free to share your pics with us, anytime. Just an FYI, many leather hip bags retail well over $75 so we were happy to DIY our own version for $14.99. Read on, readers to see the rundown pictures re-cap and how we did it!
So here's the goodie we picked up at TJ Maxx a week ago in hopes of getting hubby's help to turn it into the chicest and most affordable hip bag, ever!
Yeah, check that price out! $14.99 because this girl is always a Maxxinista, ha!
The three items needed for this DIY: Hammer, marker (to mark your hammered holes) and a punch (had to ask hubby the name of that metal contraption, ha!)
So here I am sporting this tiny cross-body bag which is how the maker (Nine West) intended it to be worn. Once we're finished with it though, this cross-body bag will also be a hip bag from heaven for our upcoming cruise. Can't wait to tour and sight-see, hands free!
So we slung the bag around my waist and measured where we wanted some new holes to go...
And then hubby marked a permanent spot on the back of the strap with a silver sharpie.
Next, he checked out how far the space should be for our new extra holes (to convert it into a hip bag) and figured an inch between each new hole would do just fine!
Using his punch, hubby then hammered four extra holes, into the strap, an inch apart, where he marked it with the sharpie! Now I have four extra holes to put the bag around my waist!
I wrapped my new hip bag around my waist but used my new holes in the strap to secure it around my waist. But now I have all this leftover strap! Well, I didn't want to cut it off because I love the option of also wearing this bag cross-body too...
So I just looped it through the side ring...
And rolled up and then placed the extra length of the strap into the hip bag pouch!
And here the FINISHED PRODUCT!! My very own hip bag for $14.99!
Seriously, are you impressed? Hubby sure was! I think he looked at me like I was silly, at first and once I explained to him exactly what I was thinking...he surealy thought this inexpensive idea was genius. Or he's just tired of hearing me moan about the high prices of hip bags for the last few weeks! Either way, let us know if you try this same project...or any other DIY, as we'd love to see the pics via RunwayDaily@RunwayDaily.com! Cheers and Enjoy!

How freaking gorgeous is that lace up goodie? Yeah, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for this amazing up-and-coming bag designer. Miss Catherin Meyer will be taking the accessory world by storm, mark our words. Her Laced Julia bag above (retailing for $373) won the Best in Overall Style and Design from InStyle magazine and has received tons of additional attention.

Have you spotted the new ads by Sears in your magazines? Have you seen the new commercial above? Me too, me too!
