As your Glam Fashion Week Insider, here are some front row & backstage highlights from yesterday.  From the abstract lines of BCBG Max Azria to the florals from Richard Chai, spring is in the air in New York City!

Ivana Helsinki S/S 2011

Hopefully next year I will have a private jet that can take me from the west to the east coast during fashion week then I won't have to miss out on all the fun. Hey, a girl can dream, right?

Although I wasn't able to make it to Ivana Helsinki last week my beautiful friend, Rhonda of Style Shepard did, and here are some highlights from the s/s 2011 collection, "Where the F*ck is my Sailor". LOVE it!

The day has come. Wishing all the designers, pr reps, models, makeup/hair stylists & dressers the best of luck for an amazing week of fashion! Be sure to check out the highlighted, LIVE stream shows below to feast your eyes on in the comfort of your own home! I'm off for my event at FNO Los Angeles & will be back blogging for you then! xo Happy Fashion Week!
