New York Fashion Week: Victoria Beckham Serves Up Spring With Ease

Victoria Beckham is quickly becoming one of my favorite ready-to-wear designers (though I feel like I’m coming in a little late in the game) as she has been putting out incredibly well thought out and tailored collections for several years now. Her New York Fashion Week Spring 2017 collection was no exception as she took many of fashions trending moments, gave them a spin and made them completely something that I’m willing to give a shot (I’m looking at you 1990’s era crushed velvet)

New York Fashion Week Spring ’17: Jason Wu’s Artistically Adorned Day Wear

Jason Wu’s New York Fashion Week Spring 2017 collection played to the real woman. The woman who gets up and rules the office during the day, the family during the evening and takes some time to have fun during her weekend. The collection was inspired by Ugo Rondinone, a Swiss-born mixed media artist who is well-known for Seven Magic Mountains, an installation of seven neon stone totems painted in bright yellows, purples and other colors, constructed from car-size stones located just outside of Las Vegas

New York Fashion Week Spring ’17: Diane von Furstenberg Reimagined Classics

The first Spring/Summer collection since Diane von Furstenberg stepped down as head of her decades old namesake collection is one to be remembered. Jonathan Saunders, the new Chief Creative Officer for the brand, showcases his spin on the fashion icon’s collection, which took the classic silhouette and bias cut of the wrap dress and gave it a bit of an update.

New York Fashion Week Spring ’17: Sonia by Sonia Rykiel’s Casual Country Chic

New York Fashion Week is yet again upon us and as the excitement of what the future holds in fashion is buzzing, I can’t help but cover the biggest fashion event of the year for our first post, and pay tribute to a fashion great that was very recently lost. Sonia Rykiel may no longer be with us, as she just recently passed away in August, but her namesake fashion house and collection (now headed by Julie de Libran) did not fail to keep her spirit alive

Wearable Trends: Pre-Fall Leopard Print

I love what the fashion industry dubs “Pre-Fall.” In my opinion it’s that perfect time of year when it’s not the scorching summer heat but not yet the super cold weather many of us have come to dread – I mean, it’s really hard to look super cute when there are subzero temps outside! It’s that in-between time of year that allows you to wear leathers and suedes, boots and throw in a little bit of fur but still be comfortable, warm and stylish. One of my favorite pre-fall trends (and probably one of my all-time favorites) is leopard print
