The End of LFW...

Hi everyone! Sorry that I missed yesterday's post, but it works out well because we can wrap up London Fashion Week today in preparation for Milan's shows tomorrow! Let's first look at my favorites from Monday and Tuesday's runway shows, and then we will discuss all of the trends we saw and I'll reveal my favorite overall look/collection!

Giles does it again! I love the animal inspiration mixed with the feminine pastels - really bold and eye-catching.

I really love the frothy fabrics and light material we are seeing, especially this lovely mustard color!

Jackets are EVERYWHERE for spring. I love this textured leather look on the left, and obviously the long coat has cemented itself as a staple for Spring 2015!

Absolutely stunning looks from Simone Rocha. I love rainy look of the hair and clothing shapes contrasted with such cheerful colors and textures. Sheer panels, florals, and textures are so popular!

There are a lot of really small graphic prints for Spring. I love the intricate detail and color for many of the stripes and patterns we are seeing on everything from dresses to pants.

Prominent trends from London Fashion Week:

Long coats

Sportswear (blazers and pants for working women!)

Midi/maxi skirts

Floral prints

Mod influence on colors and prints

Texture (3D printed items, frothy fabrics, fringe)

Bold and graphic prints

Influence from nature (animal and animal prints, Pangea)

My favorite overall look from London Fashion Week, of course, has to go to:

This Marchesa gown. I mean - this is a DREAMY PRINCESS garment. Who wouldn't want to wear this?
It also has many of the trends we've seen in London: frothy fabrics, floral prints, pastel hues, and long skirts.
PERFECTION!

My favorite collection though - hands down - is MARY KATRANTZOU!

I love every look from this collection: the colors and shapes, the cutouts, and the fascinating inspiration behind all of it. I think that Katrantzou has made one of the best collections this year overall, and I can imagine many women clamoring to get their hands on these pieces!

What was your favorite look or collection from London?

Tomorrow we will delve into Milan and the wonderful Italian designer showcases!

Enjoy your Wednesday kittens <3

LFW Day 3...

Hi there kittens - happy Monday! London fashion week is in full swing - and I'm beyond obsessed. There's nothing I love more than scouring the collections and picking out trends and favorite looks. Yesterday's shows didn't disappoint either! Below are some of the best ensembles:

Both looks are by Mary Katrantzou and I'm just a little in love with the collection and her inspiration. Katrantzou was inspired by Pangea and the earth millions of years ago. I love the splitting of panels on the dresses and the floral and animal prints. Really awe-inspiring and creative!

There are a lot of looks incorporating sculptural inspiration and movement.

Of course, it can't be spring without beautiful floral prints!
Left: Mulberry
Right: Matthew Williamson (love the tropical vibes!)

Definitely a surge of clothing for women going to work/having casual Friday...
(Thank god - who can possibly do errands in couture?!)

LFW Day 1 and 2...

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! I didn't get to post yesterday (weekends are so busy!). However, I'm back on track and ready to discuss some of my favorite looks from the beginning of London Fashion Week!

London and Paris are probably my two favorite cities of fashion month. I feel like London's designers really push the envelope and emphasize street style more (which is what most normal people are wearing anyway!!).

Let's check out the first two days of LFW and see the trends and best looks:

Fabulous 1960s inspired hues and prints - so feminine and bold!
Left: Orla Kiely
Right: House of Holland (one of my favorite collections, as always!)

Flouncy layers + floral prints? Sounds good to me!!
Left: Marchesa (my favorite LFW collection so far!)
Middle: Eudon Choi
Right: Preen by Thornton Bregazzi

We're continually seeing black and white graphic prints in simple shapes. So chic!

 What do you think of LFW so far? Do you have a favorite trend?

Enjoy your Sunday kittens - see you tomorrow with more favorites <3

Prepping for Spring '15 Fashion Weeks...

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):

http://mbfashionweek.com/new-york/schedule
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:

Happy Tuesday kittens <3
