  • The “Bee Kind” Sweatshirt & Cute Designs

    Today I am here to share another fashion trend that I have noticed a lot of here lately. As you can see, this sweatshirt looks pretty ordinary except for the one little detail near my shoulder. This little stitch detailing is what sold me on this top which I found at Old Navy. Over the past several weeks I have seen a number different types of sweatshirts that have all kinds of fun details in the same spot! This is an up and coming trend for the springtime and potentially in fall 2019. Definitely keep this trend idea in mine when shopping for clothes this season. I have seen several…

  • How Polka Dots & Yellow are the Micro-Trends of Spring 2019

    Something that I have been noticing a lot of recently is the random emergence of polka dots. They can be found in so many different places and they have become something of a kind of micro-trend. A lot of fashionable ladies have embraced the polka dots for spring 2019 trend, and I have now too! Polka dots have always been one of my favorite prints and let’s be honest, they never truly go out of style. But there are times when we see more of this pattern than other moments in fashion. Right now it is really ganging steam and it could be a trend that very well lasts into…

  • Valentino Fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear Collection

    This collection by Valentino has reminded me of street art and graffiti from the first moment I saw it! I absolutely love the bold, artistic take with this runway. This is elevated street style, in my opinion! The red and pink colors that Valentino used in this collection are very reminiscent of what we see during Valentine’s Day celebrations which is very fitting for their name. While the deep green and white shades are more fit for the fall season it was designed to be worn in. This color palette works surprisingly well together, and makes for a really cool and somewhat edgy runway. Accessories acted as the glue that…

  • Giambattista Valli Fall 2019

    The Giambattista Valli fall 2019 collection felt more like a collection for springtime. Pastels have traditionally been something we see in the spring not fall, however, I kind of liked seeing it appear in a different season. One of my favorite colors is pink so that was an extra bonus from this runway. Another element I loved from this collection was the involvement of of florals! There is something so dreamy about the gowns that have these floral details on them, and I think they are such a lovely mix into an otherwise leaf dominated autumn season. Something that really surprised me about the Giambattista Valli runway was the fun,…

  • Chanel Fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear|Farewell to Karl Lagerfeld

    With the passing of the legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel faces a whole new frontier. Lagerfeld gave us many designs to enjoy throughout his career, however, I can’t help but feel like this runway in particular will serve as a kind of endless winter inspiration for some time to come. The runway sets have always been spectacular, and Lagerfeld never disappointed those who were in attendance. But this runway perfectly sums up modern ski lodge attire. We are used to thinking of ski lodge ensembles in a retro light, but this collection really summed up a new approach. I really like how these dresses and all of the outfits were…

  • Embroidered Floral Details for Spring 2019

    One of the consistencies I have seen on all of the runways for fall 2019 has been a mix of several different prints. Some of those prints are of the floral variety while also including the occasional embroidery detail. Therefore, I began thinking now would be the perfect time to breakout this pastel embroidered sweater! Since the official beginning of spring is right around the corner and coats will no longer be necessary, there is no better time to show off these cute little flowers! Embroidery has swept across the fashion industry for the past couple of seasons, and floral has made a real comeback too. Spring is the perfect…

  • Christian Dior Fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear Collection

    With today’s Runway Review we see a return to 90’s street style! The consistent bucket hats are very reminiscent of 90’s fashion, however, I would say these are much more tame in terms of prints being used. I like how Dior used some of their most classic silhouettes for dresses and gowns for this runway. Typically we see fashion houses lazy attempts to be retro when it comes off a little cheap. However, these Dior throwbacks are simply stunning with all of their old time charm, but with just the right amount of modernity. The different prints used for this runway are particularly what remind me of the 90’s besides…

  • Etro Fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear Collection

    A new take on a classic preppy style is the feeling I get from the brand new Etro fall 2019 collection. This runway particularly stood out to me because of how different it was in tone. There is something distinctly academic looking to this collection. I simply love the use of velvet and different textures used in this runway. From bags and belts to the tights that the models wore, the accessories paired with all of these looks gave so much more dimension to the entire collection. There is also a very loose feeling to these fall looks. The colors scream changing leaves, but the fit of these designs are…

  • Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear Collection

    With over one hundred ensembles shown in this Dolce & Gabbana runway, this collection was both vast and, at times, a bit eccentric. There was no clear influence upon this collection, from what I can tell. The only significant thread connecting each of these pieces is a sense of showmanship. Volume, volume, and more volume is the take away from Dolce & Gabbana. Don’t be surprised if in fall 2019 red carpets are dominated by voluminous dress. This rise of bold silhouettes reminds me of the bygone 1800’s era. All of these large details tend to say “notice me”. This is a striking departure from what we have seen on…

  • A Black Marble Sweater

    The sweater I am going to be talking about today has quickly become one of my favorite sweaters of all-time! It is the perfect mix of warm and cool, and it has a super cute pattern near the neckline. Above all, the marble style of is really what makes this sweater a home run for me! I have never seen a marble style sweater before this one! The tiny white flecks look so sophisticated to me and it works for all kinds of different accessories. If you read my post about scarves, you have already seen this sweater and all of the super cute ways to style it. Honestly, I…
