NYFW Spring 2013 Designers Inspired by India

I'm always looking to see which designers are inspired by India.  Here are the designers that stood out to me.

Chris Benz:

What a cute way to layer a Kurta....I always want to wear them as dresses but the slits are too high...great way to fix that.

Marchesa: Everyone was ooing and aahing!

Just dreamy!

I love the color and I love how it's paired with flats!

Naeem Khan

DVF:

Marc by Marc Jacobs, it was mainly the turbans with him:

Vera Wang was all about out of India but not in an in your face way:

Rebecca Minkoff:

It's Fashion Week and there is a giveaway you should be looking into! Win a Rebecca Minkoff Mini Bag!

Here are the deets I received from the publicist: 

On Thursday, September 6th crowded streets painted with the unique flair of fashion had the opportunity to experience the Ford Fusion Eco Design Pop-Up event at the Gansevoort Plaza event during NYC's Fashion Night Out. In partnership with Uber and Rebecca Minkoff, Ford treated guest to complimentary transportation powered by a fleet of 2013 Ford Fusions adorned in custom decals by NYC designer Rebecca Minkoff.

Gift Guide for the lady on the go: fashion blogger to mommy

Gift Guide for the lady on the go by fashionalities featuring a sling bag

I'd say this is perfect for a business woman, a blogger, or a mommy.  I want them all, so I have a feeling everyone will to:)  Happy Shopping!

1.  The iPad case that can be stored in your tote or held like a clutch by Rebecca Minkoff, $150.
2.  I love how this Michael Kors iPhone case is also a wristlet and you can store your credit cards with it.  This is genius for when you are at an evening event and don't want to carry a lot.  $78
3.  I'm always looking for cute bags that I can use for me and my baby as a diaper bag...I say this can also work for a blogger or business woman that is in a creative industry that doesn't want to carry something so businessy.  This would be a great carry on as well.  Filson for Lucky Denim Briefcase Bag, $329.
4.  I'm all about finding new ways to cover my fabulous iPad and I was excited when I found this style at Lucky Brand with the Navajo print I'm loving right now.  iPad Folio, $49.
5.  This tote is GENIUS by COACH!  It's their new collab with guest blogger #13, Emily Johnston of Fashion Foie Gras.  The bag is $558 and it's perfect for any lady on the go.  It's got compartments I've never seen on a bag before.  Get it while it's still available.  
6.  I just love the print on this iPhone case!  I feel like dressing my iPhone up is so much fun!  I have it out all the time, so why not enjoy it!  This case is from Lucky Brand for $35.

Rebecca Minkoff, I so want these pants from your Spring 2012 line!!

Just saw these pants and I'm in LOVE! Hoping Rebecca Minkoff's clothing line will be great prices like her handbags!

This bag is GREAT for mommy's, travel, business women and just anyone wanting to be organized.

I couldn't add the Isaac Mizrahi for QVC's  bag to the polyvore set because it wouldn't add to the saved items for some reason, but I had to share!  I always LOVE his bags!

Have you seen any less expensive version anywhere, if so, where?

REBECCA MINKOFF has the BEST Giveaways!

I wish there was a SAKS in Tucson:(  We just have an OFF Fifth, but since I would LOVE to do this...I have to share this giveaway/contest with all  of my fashionista friends:)
