Hello everyone and happy September!! I took the day off from posting yesterday and enjoyed the long weekend. What did you do?

For the next month, most of my posts will be on EVERYTHING related to fashion week!

Here are the dates so you can keep your schedule straight:
September 4-11: Mercedes Benz Fashion Week - New York #MBFW
September 12-16: London Fashion Week #LFW
September 17-23: Milan Fashion Week #MFW
September 23-October 1: Paris Fashion Week #PFW

Usually, I use a few websites to seek my photos from #MBFW (aside from Twitter/blogs):

Mercedes-Benz's website may not be comprehensive of every show happening in New York, but it is a great way to keep track of the shows in general, particularly the major names.

http://www.style.com/fashionshows/
Style.com is extremely handy during fashion week - you can search designers, see every show that's happening, and also see reviews, press, and who is sitting front row.


Which shows are you most excited to see? Who are your favorite models?

Here is my favorite moment from the last Pars fashion week, just as a refresher for the greatness that may see this month:

Cara Delevingne is one of the most popular models at the moment (see the cover of Vogue's September issue). Not only is she extremely versatile, she is stunning in such an unconventional way. She's young with killer bone structure and obviously, some serious eyebrows. Thank god she's bringing the brow game up!

You may think to yourself: I wish that I could look like a model. HEY GIRL, you're already flawless - channel your inner Cara every day. Here's some inspiration for her outward style and appearance:


Those brows. You don't need much makeup with a gorgeous natural face like this!
Beanie, drainpipes, boots, and a casual t-shirt and jacket. EASY menswear-inspired outfit!
Oversized tee and skinnies with a rocker vibe of big hair and a leather jacket.

Here are some pieces that I think would stop a street-style photographer:
CARA'S ESSENTIALS:
VERY tight skinnies - destroyed, khaki, whatever your preference is!
Some kind of menswear jacket - leather or denim, preferably.
Combat boots
Beanie (silly sayings are a plus)
Oversized band or logo tee
Brow powder/filler and brushes - fill those brows in, let them grow, and keep them in check! When brows are your main attraction, keep everything else on the eye neutral and go for a bold lip.


Like the items pictured? Here's the set on Polyvore (you can follow me on there too!):

Good morning everyone! Did you happen to catch some of the Emmys last night? I usually never watch an entire awards show, but overall I thought it was a great night! Of course, Breaking Bad and Modern Family stole the show (although J was rooting for True Detective & we both love OITNB).

I thought that the fashion of the night was pretty well done. There are always some hits and misses. I especially loved the prominence of women in white and red. Here are some of my favorite looks (coincidentally, there are repeat designers in here too - a few really knocked it out of the park!).

Laverne Cox in Marc Bouwer

Sarah Hyland in Christian Siriano

Uzo Aduba in Christian Siriano

Taylor Schilling in Zuhair Murad

Camila Alves in Zuhair Murad
Who had your favorite look of  the night? Comment and let me know!
