The Must Have Accessory for Spring 2020
Spring is fast approaching and this is typically the time of year when people choose to change up their look. As for me, I have a couple of ideas in mind that will help my style evolved for the 20’s. More about that next week. There are a couple of ways to switch things up without having to make major commitments like investing in an expensive clothing item that has a very “of the moment” twist. The best way to do that is with accessories! My favorite accessory for spring 2020 is the classic headband! Some of you may remember wearing these little head ornaments as a young child or…

Celine Spring 2020
There have been many runways this Fashion Month that have served up some retro inspiration, however, I would say that this Celine spring 2020 collection is the most retro driven. Along with the blast from the past, Celine also seems to take a distinctly street style path with this entire collection and refrains from going towards any couture looks. All of this adds up to a very interesting runway, and one that definitely deserves a little dissecting. Overall, I would say that Celine is overwhelmingly pushing the 70s vibes with this collection. I don’t saying pushing to be mean, but I do say it because I do not see hints…

A Vintage Puff Sleeve
The runways have been full of interesting shoulder designs, and it has inspired me to transform this spring 2020 trend into a fall 2019 look! Last week in the Look Book I talked about the 80s inspiration that is showing up in shows like the Versace’s spring collection. However, today I am talking about a more vintage look that involves echos of the 40s. I love all things classic, especially classic films. So it probably comes as no surprise to you all when I say that the 40s inspiration for the shoulder designs we have been seeing more of is one of my fashion trends of the future. The main…

Miu Miu Spring 2020
Although the entire focus of Fashion Month has been on spring fashion, I feel like this Miu Miu runways has a lot of fall and winter vibes to it. As soon as I saw this collection I knew this would make its way onto a Runway Review! Miu Miu created a collection of interesting mixes, but most importantly influential elements. Something I noticed Miu Miu did with these designs was transition double breasted coat dresses into a springtime look. Typically we see this kind of design make an appearance in fall/winter fashion, but Miu Miu decided to shift this style into something more appropriate for spring. Personally, I love this…

Prada Spring 2020
Prada has a very interesting take on what spring 2020 fashion will look like. While skipping all of the pastels and florals, Prada decided to do things in a retro style. This spring collection reminds me very much of the 1930s and what you would have seen back in that era (which happens to be one of my favorite times for fashion). However, each design had a distinct modern edge to it. These dresses were all very much like the straight down, a-line style we have been seeing a bit more of. This is just another example of the 1930s vibes I get from this entire runway. One Old Hollywood…

Coach 1941 Spring 2020
There are always a few solid runways that I always look forward to knowing they will not disappoint. Coach is one of those runways. It seems like every seasons they consistently are able to both surprise and reassure me in the essence of their brand. For the spring 2020 Coach collection there was a ton of leather on display! That is such a stark contrast to what we normally see and what all of the other collections are showing for this season. Typically, spring is the time of the year for butterflies, flowing dresses, and a boat load of pastels. All of these elements are, of course, nice for spring,…

Carolina Herrera Spring 2020
It is officially Fashion Month! Which means there will be plenty of brand new and exciting Runway Reviews coming your way! Today I want to review one of the first collections to really catch my eye, and one that I do not believe has received the kind of attention it deserves. The Carolina Herrera collection for spring 2020 plays on all of the right notes of spring, but without all of the clichés. If you notice, the designs featured on this particular runway contain all of the elements of any good springtime look that you would expect like pastels and florals. However, thanks to the bold silhouettes and structures in…

Dior Spring 2020 for Men
The final collection from the spring 2020 men’s runways that I will be reviewing is the Dior runway. Although I am disappointed that Dior did not stray from the typical pastels of the springtime, I do like that there were some textures and designs added to these looks. For instance, the shoes for this collection had a very gummy like texture and look to them that really amplified the overall neutral color tone of the runway. I also enjoyed that once in a while a bright color made a special appearance on the Dior runway. This bright shade especially stood out against the white and pastels that dominated. Another element…

Happy to “Bee” Here
Nothing can truly beat a classic white t-shirt or polo. When you combine those two elements with a simple bee pattern, sky is the limit with how you can style it! Every summer there always seems to be some kind of animal, or in this case a insect, that acts as the fashionable symbol of the year. Well, I believe that 2019’s summer fashion symbol is the bee. I have a detailed theory as to why, but I won’t go into all of that right now and instead I will talk about all of that later. Anyway, back to this polo. I have always had a love for the buttoned…

How to Wear Knits in the Spring
Spring can be a rather difficult time of year to dress for, but it doesn’t have to be. I like to switch it up this time of year by wearing a short sleeved cardigan! Not all cardigans are created equally, and often times we see them being worn as a complementary piece to an outfit not one of the main staples. Just by simply switching things up and wearing a nice short sleeved cardigan as a top can really create a whole new kind of ensemble! Another element to wearing knits in the spring choosing the right color. This peachy/orange shade has so many different shades it can be worn…
