NYFW Monique Lhuillier S/S 2013

9 Sep

Monique Lhuillier’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

Known for her usual white and ivory wedding gowns, Lhuillier made great use of teals, blues and fuchsias, in what seemed to be an ocean inspired collection. With only a few separates,her main focus was dresses, very beautiful dresses!

NYFW Christian Siriano S/S 2013

9 Sep

WOW!!!!!!! Christian Siriano presented his Spring Summer 2013 collection and it was PRETTY!  I loved how feminine the pieces were and the use of pastels was perfect. I am also a huge fan of the loose ballerina buns that the models wore, that is my go to hairstyle for Spring and Summer. The use of feminine oxfords in addition to heels was a nice change of scenery during NYFW as well.  Just when I though the collection couldn’t get any prettier, out came some of the most beautiful dresses and gowns I have ever seen -many of which had incredibly intricate pearl embellishments and details one could only dream of! I envisioned my wedding day all over again, stunning! I absolutely loved this collection!  Still catching my breath!

Some looks from Rebecca Minkoff’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection.  Minkoff played well with prints and slightly distressed denim, she included her super cute handbags as well.

I especially loved this tied top with denim shorts.

Fall Preview: My Favorite Fall Trends

9 Aug

I couldn’t be more excited about Fall,  it’s my favorite time of year for fashion and I feel like I’m able to really dive into my wardrobe.  I love coats, boots, rich colors, texture, layering, bold accessories, you name it!  Every year I look forward to the upcoming season,  some years are better than others and this year is GREAT!!!!!  I am so excited to shop these amazing looks and even more excited to wear them.  As you know I do not believe in “fashion rules” and I feel like sometimes trends are exactly that; a trend, while other trends last far into the next season and stay in your closet for years (those are my favorite kind).  I also know that certain trends are not for everyone, with that being said I will only be discussing trends that I love in this post!  If you have money to blow, splurge a little but by no means do you need a Fat bank account to be styling’ this Fall.  Let’s get to the fashion!!!!!!!
