Fashion Week’s known for all the unique visions, refreshing color combinations, and sometimes shocking trends…and the same can easily be said about the hair and makeup. We’ll be honest though—there’s nothing like the quintessential element of your everyday all-natural look: the nude lip. It’s understated, it’s wearable, and it won’t distract from your killer outfit. Based on the spring 2012 runways, here are five perfect nude lip colors.

So this happened this morning: Beyoncé popped up at J.Crew’s stellar spring presentation with her sister, Solange Knowles (and little babyoncé!). It was J.Crew’s first Lincoln Center fashion week presentation and we were SO excited about the hot pink on red, the orange lips, the sequined pants, the red, white and blue prints and the grosgrain ribbon sandals that we skipped on out of there to face the sunny morning mere minutes before Bey’s arrival. To say the smile on our face turned upside down when we emerged from the subway to a Beyoncé Twitter explosion would be an understatement. We’re too sad to write more…other than, how awesome is her sequined J.Crew collection dress?

Season in and season out, Alice + Olivia designs party dresses that make even the most boring conversationalist look like she’s fun to be around. It explains why scenester girls regularly flock to the New York-based label’s presentations—and the spring ’12 collection was no exception. Kourtney Kardashian was given a tour of the ‘60s-inspired pieces by designer Stacey Bendet herself while DJ Mia Moretti and violinist Caitlin Moe rocked out. “So pretty!” Kardashian exclaimed to no one in particular as she walked past four models in frothy, floaty pieces in varying shades of cream. Soon after, the singer Jordin Sparks arrived, wandering around the AstroTurf-lined space while sipping on one of the frosty drinks being served up. There was one party girl who stayed away from the bar: Lydia Hearst. She said, “Honestly, I think more people need to hydrate and drink more water during Fashion Week. It’s the only way to survive.” So if champagne is out of the picture, what makes an ultimate party? “You want everyone to be fashionable, everybody to actually show up on time instead of being the quintessential New Yorker who’s fashionably late, and you want a fun, flirty outfit. That’s kind of how I feel about this,” said Hearst, pointing to her red sequined Alice + Olivia sheath.

Rachel Zoe presented her latest collection yesterday afternoon to an incredibly long line of editors and buyers, all there to sing the mega-stylist’s praise while sipping cucumber coolers. ”It’s about Bridget Bardot when she was spending a lot of time in St. Tropez with Serge Gainsbourg,” she said of her Spring designs. With her label now it its third season, The Rachel Zoe Project back on Bravo and as popular as ever and a new protegé to dress up, baby Skyler, Zoe has no shortage of reasons to celebrate. “He’s here with me, he’s just hiding in the back.” she told us of the baby. ”Now I wear a lot of black because it’s easy to brush off the spit up and formula. And I don’t walk around with him while wearing heels…it’s dangerous.” The spring collection, filled with Zoe’s signature long flowing dresses, sharp jackets and a new range of shoes and bags is, “effortless, easy, glitzy, glam,” and comes in a surprising array of neutrals with pops of cobalt and red. It had us thinking about where this woman finds the time, “It was really hard to miss my friend’s shows [this week], usually I’d be at six shows a day” she said.  Instead, she’s made it to two. Sounds like she’s OK with it though: “I’m living my dream!”

There were plenty of spring ’12 pieces to lust after at Preen and Rebecca Minkoff yesterday—think pastel pixel dresses and ruffled blouses at the former and leather harness vests and breezy printed pants at the latter. But for the stylish women sitting in the front row of these shows, what are they dying for right now? And is there anything they’ve had forever that they just can’t bear to part with?

Krystal Glenn may have grown up in a suburb of Sydney, Australia, but this blonde bombshell’s blowing up on New York’s runways. The newbie has already walked Suno, Peter Som, Richard Chai, Honor, Band of Outsiders, Helmut Lang (the list goes on) with lots more booked for the rest of the week. Check out what the stunner had to say about her first time in New York, her favorite action movies, and her most coveted look from fashion week so far.

The sad Target dog that greets you instead of happy Missoni zig-zags.

Proenza Schouler for Target meant lines out the door and Rodarte brought chaos at the register, but this morning’s launch of Missoni’s 400-piece collection has crashed their site. Instead of zig-zags, you get a picture of a toolbox. When reality hit, the fashion pack freaked out. Stylists Emily Current and Merrit Elliot Tweeted, “Whatever @target. crashed site. we had a whole cart and checking out and you crash?!? rude. guess no throws for us. booooo.” At least when the site does work, it won’t be sold out!

Spring 2012 Fashion Week is in full swing here in New York, and we’re ogling over all the flowy, romantic, I’m-so-glad-I-was-born-a-girl looks that the upcoming season has to offer. For spring, designers are garnering a truly womanly vision: we’re seeing less androgyny and architectural/geometric lines and more of the feminine flavor that makes dressing up so much fun. And what better way to begin than paying tribute to one of the prettiest shades on the spectrum: pink. Below, check out 10 ways to wear pink next season as inspired by the shows so far at NYFW.

Fashion Week got a touch of cool LA girl style last night at Mister H at Mondrian SoHo. Guests watched “What’s Up,” a short film by Gia Coppola that includes clothes from Wren and jewels from Fallon. Tennessee Thomas DJ’ed, while Miranda July and Sofia Coppola popped up to support their friends (and relatives!). “The way Gia can romanticize girl characters, it’s a really natural fit,” said Wren’s Melissa Coker. “I love how it’s this dynamic portrayal of a day in California, and the quality of light.” Bella Zarember, the star, spends a languid day at home in LA. trying on clothes and playing with jewelry against a backdrop of class schedules and The Strokes stickers before heading outside for a walk. She forgets to put on shoes (or doesn’t care?), but it doesn’t stop her from stomping on a hermit crab on the sidewalk. “We shot during the Carmaggdon weekend, when the 405 was closed, so I tried to incorporate the idea of not being able to go out and being trapped inside. I remember in high school, not being able to drive, and imagined what you do at that age,” explained Coppola. “You can’t drive, you look on Facebook…There was this cute kid, Cortez, who was going to be the annoying younger brother, but it got too long,” she said. As for what’s next, Coppola’s gearing up to work with America’s favorite renaissance man: “James Franco wrote Palo Alto stories, so I’m going to direct that. I’m excited!”
