Ralph Lauren Spring/Summer 2019 for Women
The old soul in me simply loved the Ralph Lauren 5oth anniversary runway show this New York Fashion Week! There were so many different elements jam-packed into one show, yet his collection remained so cohesive! What was most prevalent trend you noticed in this show you ask? The accessories! Photos by Vogue We saw a touch of New York and a touch of London mixed into a super modern and super classic collection with men’s and women’s fashion for Ralph Lauren. The rustic and modern vibes ran through the structure of each piece and the overall color scheme. The muted browns, blacks, and burgundy are all colors you would normally…

Tory Burch Spring/Summer 2019
Tory Burch gave us something to think about with this collection. The question raised with these designs are, “How do you make something almost completely different, yet with your invisible fingerprint on it all at the same time?” Well, whatever the answer is to this question Tory Burch figured it out seamlessly! Photos by Vogue We are used to seeing Tory Burch pieces that are very colorful and with lots of prints. But while all of the other designers are currently experimenting with mixing prints, Tory Burch its experimenting with basics! She took what she was known for, and toned it down. All the while, these designs are still unmistakably…

Kate Spade Spring/Summer 2019
Despite all of the fun and fashion, New York Fashion Week was also a emotional milestone. This was the first fashion show after the loss of company founder Kate Spade. There were many impactful tributes dedicated to her, from the all pink runway to the programs with the iconic quote “She left a little sparkle wherever she went”. This collection will be a memorable one for the brand for many reasons, only one being how amazing all of these pieces are. Photos by Vogue This whole runway show seemed to be 60’s inspired and I loved every bit of it! From the fun prints to the all pink outfits, this…

A Classic Neutral Look
Now that Labor Day is officially over, what should we wear instead of white? I have the perfect alternative! Grey, camel, or black are all fantastic neutrals that can replace the white you may normally wear. One really easy and simple way to pull off a neutral look is to throw on a grey t-shirt, some shorts or jeans, and black shoes. Everything about this look is timeless, you will never regret wearing a basic! That is how easy it is to put together a classic neutral ensemble like this one! To create a neutral outfit for fall or winter, wear a camel sweater with black skinny jeans and some cute…

The Prettiest Little White Dress
Nothing is more of a closet essential than a good white dress. The little white dress can be so versatile, the dress up and dress down options are endless! For me, I love a white dress with a classic pair of cowgirl boots. Of course, you can also wear a dress like this one with sneakers and a denim jacket, too! What stood out to me about this particular white dress is the overlaying and softness! The material feels so lightweight it is perfect for hot days and long hours spent in the sun. Another detail on this dress that sold me was the string on the bodice, it adds…

40’s Inspired Top
If there is anything I love as much as watching a classic film, it’s wearing clothes inspired by the silver screen era! I found this chic floral top in the clearance section at Kohl’s for only $9! Just seeing the fluttering cap sleeves and feeling the lightweight material gave me vintage vibes. When I tried this top on, I was immediately taken back to a different time! My favorite touch in this top is the delicate, feminine sleeves. For a while now I have felt the pulse of an older yet somehow modernized style trying to surge back into fashion. Maybe we will have a little taste of The Great…

Neon Stripes
If I had to pick a top five or ten favorite colors, neon green would be somewhere in that group! Unlike its neighboring colors, like construction worker yellow, neon green as a color steers clear of tacky and navigates more towards fun. The navy blue stripe really balance out the bright green in this top. In addition, the three little blue buttons you may notice on my shoulder are such a fun little detail to mark this as a classic addition to the wardrobe! I decided a matching pair of navy shorts from Old Navy with this ensemble. One more thing I love about this top is the quarter length…

The Knotted Romper
What better way to welcome the new month than with a cute romper? This is one of my favorite rompers in my closet! I bought it at the tail end of last summer, maybe that is why I am so fond of it for this time of year. The print vertical styled print is one of my favorite aspects of this romper, I’m also a sucker for anything with stripes! The sleeveless look keeps you cool in the heat while the print keeps the romper interesting. My favorite feature is hands down the knot in the front, though! Not many rompers have a knot to tie so this versatile feature…
