The End of NYFW...

Happy Friday everyone! NYFW is officially over - and I think it was an amazing success! Here are the last few favorites from yesterday's shows, and then we'll discuss trends and I'll reveal my favorite overall look and collection!

Utilitarian fashion - so practical but still beautiful.
Both looks are Marc Jacobs.

More gowns!!

Some casual looks - long blouses and skirts, more punk and rock influence.

Now let's recap the best of the trends from NYFW and make a determination of best look and collection!

Top Trends:

Long tops (grazing mid thigh)

Long skirts

Long coats (probably the most prominent trend)

Muted palette

Pastels and feminine hues (lilacs, dusty blues)

Floral prints

Graphic black and white prints

To top it all off, here it is - my FAVORITE look from NYFW Spring '15!!!!

The absolutely stunning Oscar de la Renta. One of my favorite collections overall.
Check out the trends: muted white dress in a floral print with a long coat combining bold colors with pastels. PERFECTION.

However, my favorite collection of course has to go to... THOM BROWNE!

Can you possibly get more creative than this? A cohesive and beautiful collection from start to finish AND head to toe. I'd like to live in ANY of these ensembles (AND ALL OF THE HATS).

What was your favorite collection from NYFW? What do you think of my picks?

Enjoy your Friday kittens <3

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!

NYFW Day Four...

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Are you all are enjoying #NYFW as much as I am?! I can't get enough of looking at pictures on Instagram, Twitter, and Style.com. All of the collections for Spring '15 are so exciting so far. I'm really into the lovely color palette, long coats, and light fabrics. It's going to be such a chic spring!

Here are some of my favorites from the collections yesterday. I love having a fashion recap!

I'm using #FashionFavorites on Twitter to talk about these looks - don't forget to follow me there! @FashionMaeven

Middle: Nanette Lepore
Right: Diane Von Furstenberg

Overall, my favorite collections from yesterday would probably have to be a tie between Thakoon and Opening Ceremony. Really great patterns from both runways! My biggest disappointment was from Victoria Beckham - I felt like the clothing was too simple to be exciting for me, especially coming from her.

What did you think of yesterday's showings? Are you excited for today's looks? Let me know your favorites!

Enjoy your Monday, kittens <3
