The Best of NYFW

I was waiting to say anything about New York Fashion Week until it was over because I didn’t want to jinx how great every look that came down the runway was, but now that it’s over I can officially say it – I think this was my favorite Fashion Week ever. Every trend for Spring – the black sticking around even after the cold is over, mixing girly pastels with edgy details and the insane prints – surpassed my expectations. Check out a few (okay, so maybe more than just a few) of my favorite looks below – now I’m just waiting for London Fashion Week to finish up so I can recap that too! xo

This BCBG number has me swooning - maxis + black + pastels? Count me in.

I love this Rebecca Minkoff look, and similarly I love the idea of wearing matchy-matchy items. So in for spring!

This Nicole Miller look has me praising the fashion gods that black & white is here to stay... In a big way.

I just... I can't. This Jill Stuart number makes my heart race - I love everything about it. Black and white, crop tops and matching separates are definitely all Spring 2014 trends!

This Mara Hoffman dress is basically the reason I fell in love with fashion. The print + the cutouts are just too amazing.

The DVF show was just too cool... It had such a 60's and 70's vibe and I loved it.

I have a thing for Tory Burch prints - she just kills it every time. They're so unique and you can tell they're so inspired by her travels - this green look must end up in my closet.

I always want everything from J.Crew, but these 2 looks are just too good.

I'm too obsessed with Rachel Zoe both on and off the runway, so I couldn't pick just one favorite look. This white number is so glamorous it hurts.

This is another Rachel Zoe fave - I don't know how she does it, but every single piece she sends down the runway I want.

NYFW Recap | The Best of Fall 2013

Like many fashion bloggers who didn’t get to attend Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York last week, I watched all of the runway videos online in class and stayed up way too late stalking photos of my favorite designer’s shows. There were a few looks that came walking down that runway that I just couldn’t resist sharing – this was an exceptional year for NYFW!

The fur at BCBGMAXAZRIA was out of this world, and so was the leather. This was one of my favorite furs.

I can't explain how excited I am that leather and geometric shapes are here to stay - the DKNY preview was all about harsh lines and heavy leather. This look just screams wear me!

Again with the fur... J. Mendel just shut this look down. I can't explain how much I need every single one of these pieces to magically appear on my body right now!
