Final Fashion Week Wrap Up...

Happy Friday!! It's time to discuss the trends that we saw at fashion week, not only in Paris, but at all of the fashion weeks. From start to finish, the entire month was incredible. There were so many show-stopping pieces.

Let's take a look at my favorite looks and collection from Paris Fashion Week first! I have two overall favorites, which I think show a great diversity in the trends that we've seen:

Balmain. Overall, the collection was filmy, sexy, and sleek. It had a lot of the colors we've been seeing (neutrals, reds, pops of pastels) and LOTS of sheer fabric. PERFECTION.

Paco Rabanne. I think this has two very important trends: casual sportswear and texture. I love the 3D skirt texture mixed with the casual jersey sweater. So wearable and chic!

But of course, my favorite collection is:

Chanel! King Karl has once again given us a beautiful Chanel collection that can be worn by a woman at any age. The rich fabrics and textures, mixed with the wearable silhouettes and gorgeous watercolors...I could go on and on. A+ 

We saw a lot of amazing things in the past few weeks. There are a lot of big trends, and we can touch on them here a little bit:

-Lots of 1970s inspiration (colors and silhouettes!)

-Pastels (light pinks, oranges, and blues)

-Graphic black and white patterns

-Texture (3D, fringe, layered fabrics)

-Oxfords/low flats

-Filmy, sheer fabrics

-Street-style inspiration

What was your favorite look from this month? It's TOO hard to choose just one. I think that the playing fields were definitely evened this season - all of the cities were equally great and forward-thinking (which doesn't always happen).

Have an excellent Friday, kittens <3 I'll be getting back into the regular swing of my old posts now!

NYFW Day Five...

Happy Tuesday everyone! Yesterday's shows were EVERYTHING - I am absolutely living for many of them, particularly Thom Browne's collection. Here are some of my favorite looks and trends from yesterday, as well as two of the best from Browne (it's almost impossible to pick only two!).

My two favorites from Thom Browne. That hat on the left practically made me cry - a mini bust of the outfit? It's just too much for me. The hats were custom made for each look (30 in all!). It's my favorite collection as a whole so far!

There are definitely some rocker vibes for Spring '15! I'm excited about this trend most of all.

Some stunning gowns so far - lots of different cut outs and creative silhouettes.

Navy seems to be a a major player in these collections, especially in long boxy shapes.

Playful colors and florals are still very prominent, which is good for spring obviously!

Emmy Fashions 2014...

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!
