Happy Wednesday everyone! Important announcement: Fashion Maeven finally has an Instagram! If you like the blog, please follow us on Instagram: @FashionMaeven - HOORAY!!! I'll be 'grammin some of the pictures from the day's post, as well as other more casual pictures. Let me know if there is anything you'd like to see specifically!

Let's get down to business - yesterday's shows were some of the big wigs. Time to peek at the trends and best looks:

It was SEVERE at Alexander McQueen yesterday (in a good way!). Very mixed collection, full of leather and tough materials combined with lace and ruffles. Hard and soft is really prominent for SS '15. I love the futuristic face wear too!

It was a very bohemian and 1970s inspired runway from Valentino! Lots of macramé and lace, as well as heavily beaded and embroidered garments. I love the pastel hues mixed with deeper shades of navy and black. Very wearable collection!

More 1970s inspired print and coloring. Lots of orange and blue - very nautical as well as retro. I love the freshness mixed with older shapes (the shirtdress) and retro fabrics (suede lace-up shorts).

Karl Lagerfeld just keeps it coming at Chanel! Set on a city street, the outfits run the gamut from more casual to suits in all different fabrics and colors. Watercolor spots, black and white graphics, multicolored tweeds - there is something for anybody here. Also, THOSE LOAFERS are fabulous and so wearable! 

What do you think about these looks/shows? I know that there's a lot of conversation about Chanel's "protest" but I won't give my personal opinion here. I'd love to hear what you think though!

Enjoy your Wednesday kittens <3

Hello lovelies! The next few weeks of posts will be picture heavy, with just a few lines about my thoughts on the collections and garments. NYFW is so much fun for me to follow - especially now that I have friends working for some of these companies!

Here are some of my favorite presentation photos (that means no runway show):

Presentation photos were gorgeous this year! I love what trends we are seeing already. Long high-waisted skirts, light pastel hues, and flowing fabrics. Hooray!!

Here are some of my favorite looks from Day 1 of NYFW:

So far, I'm loving all of the flowing and feminine pieces. It seems like spring fashion is going to be so much fun already!

What were some of your favorite looks yesterday? Who are you excited about for Day 2? I just love NYFW!

Happy Friday kittens <3
