It's day two of Fashion Week, people. And whether you've been following it feverishly or are just now tuning in, we've cherry-picked all the juiciest bits for your recapping pleasure.

One of our favorite things that happened all day didn't even have to do with clothes. Nope, it was Heidi Klum dumping water on Tim Gunn (clad in a suit, natch) for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge right after the Project Runway fashion show. Props to the half dozen guys it took to control the huge plastic tarp, making sure not to ruin the runway.

OK, now onto the fashion. Let's start with the Kate Spade presentation. The room was carpeted with real grass and the models donned picnic-friendly getups like floppy hats, matching floral sets and pretty pinstripes. The entire collection made us want to go out and buy a croquet set.

But the real star of the Kate Spade show was all the bags. They ranged from cute to kooky, and we loved 'em all. Even though that wicker snail clutch isn't exactly practical, we need it now.

Another hit of the day? The Jason Wu show. Wu has got the blues, or technically, he's got the navys. There were some shades of green and orange in there, too, but it was the blues that really caught our attention. That, and Karlie Kloss working a belted wrap dress like no other.

We've got to hand it to Zimmermann for indulging our inner girly girl. Between the shimmer, ruffles, lace and soft pastels we loved every second of it.

And finally, we're giving Rebecca Minkoff the award for coolest runway show idea. The whole audience was given 3-D glasses to wear for the last five looks of the show. The looks seemed just as pretty even without the effect of the glasses, but we love the novelty of it all.

And that's just day two, y'all. There's plenty more runway recappin' action ahead—so stay tuned!
