For the most part, I've taken a step back from posting about and, to be honest, caring about New York Fashion Week this season. My desire to get pulled into the circus of street style, obsessed humblebrag Snapchats from the runway and backstage, a parade of Instagram slow-motion videos all showing the same thing... It's at about zero. However, I still love seeing new collections. I love getting a peek into the trends and silhouettes we might be wearing in six months, and ogling looks from the designers I perpetually follow.
And so, this post is where I've landed—in the happy medium. I watched Instagram to earmark a few emerging designers and actually-wearable-and-affordable collections that might be of interest to you, too. Additionally, I rounded up five of my favorite currently available pieces from each designer so you can get your fall fix right here and now.

SPRING / SUMMER 2016 COLLECTIONS ...
I think I need to preface my little recap below with a PSA. It is this: The following roundup contains a very specific, highly biased collection of collections. You're not going to find my thoughts on Jeremy Scott or some radical political statements driven by the latest Hood By Air show. I like what I like, and I like collections that look at least somewhat wearable. No, every look is not great for every body type, and certainly not for mine. But I'd like to think that if I saw some of these pieces hanging in my closet, I could put them on and go somewhere for real.
Also, you'll see me use the words "loose," "flowing," "feminine" and "cool" over and over because, like I said, I like what I like and this is my blog so that's what you get. I love clothes that are loose, flowing, feminine and cool. But, if you're searching for a wider breadth of fashion reviews, hang out with the big dogs over at Vogue Runway. (For reference, I've linked each designer below to the full slideshow and review from Vogue so you can see more if you like.)

ADAM LIPPES: Adam Lippes is like the coolest girl in school. Fresh, "effortless" and everything she wears looks utterly original. I love how loose and long everything is, and the lack of prints. This collection is full of unexpected fun—hello gold pleated trousers I never knew I'd like—and lines you could only describe as "clean." Off the shoulder doesn't appear to be going anywhere, and I also love this micro-trend of long shirts that could be dresses cut open on the sides, meant to be worn over pants and skirts. Methinks Zara will (unfortunately?) be giving us some similar looks very soon...
ROSIE ASSOULIN: For me, Rosie Assoulin is the kind of designer that marries whimsy and wearability together in the most delightful ways. She generally eschews pattern in favor of shape and volume, creating pieces that look like they jumped right out of a pop art painting. This season she stayed true to her beginnings with draped two-piece looks with tons of movement, but also incorporated some playful layering and shimmering details—styled to great effect by her friend Leandra Medine, of Man Repeller fame.
The stuff written in the blogs have allured me!!! http://luxtime.su/
