MFW (top 6 shows) is KILLIN IT!: Should we drop NYFW & LFW?

SO, it is currently Milan Fashion Week (home to Gucci, Fendi, Moschino, & more) and they shows are on another level amazing! Read on to see my faves, but first...

Let me ask the big question....SHOULD THE FASHION INDUSTRY DROP NYFW & LFW, and just stick to Milan and Paris?

Hear me out...
  • NYFW is all about the setting of the show, not necessarily the clothes (tragic this season) going down the runway.
  • LFW does have some high fashion, but for the most part, this years London fashion week was very blah - minus Burberry and Christopher Kane. 
    • Christopher Bailey is now gone which leaves room for them to transition to London Fashion - yes they are signature in the London fashion scene but.
  • MFW has been the first fashion week of fashion month where I haven't been saying ew to 90% of the Fall 2018 RTW the designers are sending down the runway. Instead I'm drooling over everything, even down to the details!
  • MFW shows major power houses of fashion that I've been more eager to see the runway show then then the street style TBH

My favorite & slightly obsessed (OK completely obsessed) with these looks from MFW:


1. GUCCI
I think Gucci deserves it's own post...but here is a consolidated view:
Yes - that is a dragon. Alesandro Michele's..."wanted to represent the lab I have in my head. It’s physical work, like a surgeon’s.”
Details

Culture was a big reference in Gucci's vision with the LA & NY logos, asian inspired hats, and day of the dead looking masks. Of course, my favorite, the ugly shoe trend was on display (ugh)
Bags
I'll take all of em, thanks! AND watch for that backpack on every blogger & celeb! I'm drooling over all of em.


2. FENDI
The fur though...STUNNING...sorry PETA not sorry
One of the BEST shows - from MFW- so here's an extra few looks.
Logo galore...logo's are definitely making a comeback. 


Details
Influencer heaven!

3. VERSACE

4. MOSCHINO
Very Jackie O, intergalactic, flight attendant chic! Leave it to Jeremy Scott to make Jackie O a bit edgy.

5. ROBERTO CAVALLI
Loving all the leather. 
Review: Paul Surridge, who has been at Cavalli a year now as creative director, wanted to revamp the signature GLAMOUR of Cavalli - animal print, fur, exotic leathers, embellished jeans and basically everything on another level EXTRA! Surridge toned down the brands glam image, as he says, "“Glamour for me is attraction, attraction is confidence, and confidence is comfort. If you’re not comfortable, you’re not confident.”

6. BLUMARINE
So feminine and always gorgeous! Legit there is not one look I don't like- so hard to choose the top ones...so I didn't...check out the runway show below:




AND finally...can we talk about the puppies Tod's sent down the runway, I die.


One trend throughout Milan Fashion Week was the leather and animal skin boots; expect to see that EVERYWHERE come fall!


Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

I Pulled it Off!

SO, it's been awhile since I did an outfit post...so why not now?

The other night, I did not feel like getting dressed for a dinner date, so I was browsing Instagram and Pinterest for some ideas, and noticed a lot of heels with trackpants. I thought - there is NO way I can pull this off, but I gave it a try, and I actually did!

Mind you, I don't have Gucci or Givenchy track pants so the next best options was my adidas (click to shop). Even Rita Ora & Bella Hadid, killed it in the 3 stripes!

My Inspiration


My Look
Top: Zara, Track pants: Adidas, Heels: Barneys New York, Bag: Gucci, Denim Jacket: Nastygal, Jewelry: David Yurman
I'm super into the velvet trend at the moment, and love burgundy as a splash of color. Burgandy is perfect way to add some low key color to an all black outfit. These heels are from Barneys New York and super comfortable! I'm thinking of getting them in black too. Shop them here. They are a great pair of heels that won't break the bank either.


Moral of the story: Never be scared to take a fashion risk, it may just work!
I'm not super into Pinterest anymore but ...if you want to check mine out, click here.
