Bonjour! The city of lights shone very bright with the looks sent out this season. Starting off with Valentino, words cannot explain how beautifully intricate the clothes are. Valentino took on an African sort of vibe with giraffes and other animals printed on their wonderful fabrics. Saint Laurent showed off what it does best: effortlessly cool clothes. And I mean very cool. Who would have thought to pair dainty slip dresses with sparkling tiaras?

Louis Vuitton showed us a futuristic side this season, and I liked it! The embellishments were exquisite and the shapes of the clothes were great as well. Lanvin remains each season classy yet so fun and energizing. The clothes always something every girl wants, and the flower ties around the neck were my favorite accessories. Dries Van Noten makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. The exuberant colors and the clash of fabrics makes me squeal with happiness. Karl Lagerfeld every season makes me so amazed at what he can do. The show held in a Chanel inspired airport? Let me book my flight! The clothes are so exciting and like nothing you will ever see. Truly a one of a kind. This season at Balenciaga was truly Alexander Wang’s best. The crisp whites on the silky fabrics were honestly breathtaking. I will miss Mr.Wang terribly. Anthony Vaccarello made me believe in the power of sex appeal. I am usually your go-to-girl for a turtleneck not a low cut top. But wow, I now see the light! And finally Alexander McQueen was pure romance. I was transported to another time. I long for the elegant details of each garment and wish I owned each one right.now. And that concludes my fashion week coverage. It was fun (very very much fun). See you next season, Paris! Au revoir!

And now here we are in Milan! The beautiful fashion capitol offered some fantastic looks this season. Starting with Dolce and Gabbana, the clothes of course are gorgeous and luxe in detail but what I loved more than anything was the story each print told. The model was a traveling gal who I could tell was well versed with the ways of the world. Etro this season was feminine in all the right ways with the clothes easy structure and sophisticated prints. So many looks were gorgeous and breathtaking. Giamba was just pure fun. It appealed to me so much because at my age of 17, I would adore to wear any of those flirty looks. Now onto my true love, Gucci, my heart skipped several beats seeing this exuberant confections float down the runway. There was not one look I did not covet, Michele has done wondrous things with Gucci and I will wait restlessly till March to see whats in store for next season. You can always expect sleek and polished pieces from Prada and this season was no different. The clothes were elegant with the additions of sequins and other details like the bright colors. Versace just keeps getting better as each season goes by. Donatella Versace is brilliant with her sexy pieces and fabulous prints. I will miss you Milan, till next time. Xx

London Fashion Week. Just a jump across the pond, right? Well I can say for those who made the trek, boy was it worth it. Christopher Kane was a collection consisting of his wonderful mix of crazy colors. He said he was inspired by a car crash and the collection was a mad dash of color and shapes that worked effortlessly together. Erdem is every girls dream. A dream of pussy cat bows and delicate laces were seen throughout the collection. J.W. Anderson completely blew me away. The electrifying colors with the voluminous shapes were breathtaking and a breath of fresh air. But I will say my favorite collection would have to be the divine Simone Rocha. Everything about the collection screamed elegance but in a new and exhilarating way. With the criss-cross harnesses and the frothy skirts and dresses, my mind was left racing. My heart too.

I will start this post off with my highlights of NYFW. Oscar de la Renta was pure grace and polished beauty. Peter Copping has taken on so much and he has kept with Mr. de la Renta’s aesthetic but also he has made it his own with his beautiful designs. Proenza Schouler was everything I would have wanted and more. The classic color palette and the intricate detailing on the clothes was so wonderful. Also the shoes were something else! Prabal Gurung, one of the first designers I started following religiously, made me believe in him even more with this recent collection. The inspiration came from his hometown of Nepal and the clothes symbolized his love of his country. His luxe details and sensual silhouettes were his signature. Finally Marc Jacobs. I was left speechless. It was a thrilling show and the clothes just kept getting better and better as each model sauntered down the runway. Every look was so different yet they worked so well together. It was a chic circus but with a good-ole American look to the collection as well.

In the second installment of my fashion month coverage, I decided I would do a separate little post just for designers you may not know quite yet. With these specific looks I have chosen, I hope this sparks your interest in checking them out. One of my favorite designers in recent years that I have discovered is Rosie Assoulin. Her take on new shapes and electrifying colors leaves me wanting more, more, more! Her formal wear is breathtaking and her day wear as well is just as exciting and something I covet immediately. I have my favorite blogger on the planet, Leandra Medine of Man Repeller to thank graciously for helping me find my eternal love. (P.S. the pants she makes are out of this world amazing)

Ahhh New York Fashion Week has come and gone but I am still relishing in the fabulous clothes sent out this season. Now we are onto London and I am loving what I have been seeing so far. But back to NY, this spring 2016 season was something else! With all the exciting new clothes and wonderful locations of the shows, I barely focused on any school work. This required my full attention! And boy did it get my attention!

Adam Selman, man oh man, I am starting to fall for his clothes harder than ever before. The white pants with the fowy top is what I want to LIVE in, forever!

Alexander Wang showcased what he does best: his super sensual and super cool clothes. He makes it look so easy to look so sexy yet kind of rocker-ish. He celebrated his tenth anniversary and this show was quite a celebration.

Altuzarra. I have no words, the way Joseph Altuzarra oozes sex appeal with great femininity amazes me. The slits are his signature and they were better than ever this season. (Check out his take on the espadrille, I am already coveting them)

How can one not love the Project Runway alum Christian Siriano? His personality is addicting just like his clothes. He always keeps me entertained and is becoming an even better designer as time passes on.

Derek Lam was quite polished yet free in one way to describe it. He always is so far ahead in thinking and it gives me excitement to see his shows whenever possible. (the cut-out shoulder made it big this season)

Givenchy brought me to tears; not just for the exquisite clothing but also for his meaningful reasoning on why he held the show in New York instead of Paris this season. Riccardo Tisci held the show on 9/11 and made his guests wait a longer amount of time than usual to take in the wonderful skyline of New York from Pier 26.  His great respect for the city and the people apart of it moved me to tears. But the clothes as well, made me heart race and the decadent materials were just a dream to take in.

Diane Von Furstenberg just keeps getting better. Every season leaves me wanting more and every aspect of the show from the hair down to the shoes is always on point. The brand is so classic and an integral part of American fashion but it has modernized extremely well and has retained its greatness.

This week I saw some leaves change color. Yes, I know it may seem a little soon but is it too early to feel like fall? Maybe I am exaggerating because fall is my favorite season… I just love the feeling of slipping on my jeans once more and wearing something soft and comforting, like a turtleneck. These images I have chosen are just a few inspirational photos I kept in the back of my mind as the new season comes full circle.

Atelier Versace was a beautiful and ethereal collection with flowing gowns and flower crowns. The models looked majestic as they floated down the runway like Greek goddesses. Kendall Jenner especially sparked my interest in the collection as she looked like a dark and mysterious mermaid in her wonderfully crafted dress sauntering down the runway.

Schiaparelli Couture took my breath away with its lovely shapes and assortment of colors in the collection. The prints and colors were so exciting and quite lovely.

Christian Dior Couture was absolutely stunning. The decadent coats with the fur and only one sleeve were so innovative. Also the colors paired together were beautiful like the cherry colored coat with the cerulean almost periwinkle-like pants. The white dress with the argyle overlay was so spectacular.

Giambattista Valli Couture celebrated its tenth year anniversary and this collection was quite a celebration itself. The black drop waist top with the fluffy tulle hem was something quite exciting. Also the prints and the beautiful earrings were such lovely additions to collection.

Chanel Couture was wonderful with its intriguing casino venue and all the wonderful celebrities present in beautiful couture creations as well. The show was such a mix of Coco Chanel herself and Karl Lagerfeld too. It was a wonderful combination. The motorcycle jacket over the crystal like dress was so beautiful in its own right.

Armani Privé was almost like a technicolor dream with all the new colors and eye popping hues Mr. Armani presented. Though the colors were offset by black the textures of the garments stuck out. The tea length dress with the cigarette pants underneath was something unforgettable.

Maison Margiela Couture was an exhilarating experience all the way through, though one should not expect any less from Mr. Galliano. The shapes and prints and colors were something to behold. The bright blue dress with the rope tied behind the neck in a bow was quite exquisite. Also the additions to the coats and other garments kept the eye traveling.

Finally Valentino Couture was possibly the most extraordinary collection I have ever seen. Every garment was so beautiful and made with such craftsmanship only Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli could create. Every detail was stunning down to the black gladiator sandal each model wore. The colors and prints represented their inspiration of Rome perfectly. The show definitely deserved its standing ovation in every possible way.
