Fashion month and more pins

I don't know how about you, but I'm addicted to Pinterest. It certainly doesn't help my sleepless nights.. I always discover so much on there. Even things I wasn't looking for..

For a second season now I started a board called Fashion Month (AW14) where I pin all my favourite looks from New York, London, Milan and Paris fashion weeks. If you don't have time to go through all the looks of all the shows, you can see my picks here.

My other boards include looks from my favourite bloggers, interior design, powerful accessories, all things pink (surprise surprise) and much more. You can follow me here.

This collection sums up everything I'm feeling right now and want to wear coming autumn and beyond. Pretty, feminine, wearable and dreamy. I've been looking everywhere for nice full skirts, because there's only so many pencil skirts you can own. And all the jumpers and tops just add to the prettiness. Functional and desirable. I want it all.

Have a stylish day.

New York Fashion Week so far

I don't know how about you, but once the fashion month kicks off, I am glued to a screen to watch live streams, twitter and instagram (for all the behind the scenes) and check out Style.com to swoon over all the proper images. So far I've seen some amazing shows from New York and am excited for things to come.

What have been your favourite shows/looks so far?

Helmut Lang

Effortlessly cool, I've been a long time fan.

Jason Wu

Pretty and feminine. Everything I want in clothes. Peplum is still going strong and love the polka dot details.

Prabal Gurung
Military inspired but still very feminine. Great detailing.

Herve Leger

Herve Leger never ceases to amaze me. Season after season they produce highly desirable dresses. I want them all!

TibiGotta love a skirt and thigh-high boots, chunky knits and well cut trousers.

New York Fashion Week - evening wear

Another day of New York Fashion Week behind us. I have to say quite a few shows were dissapointing for me. Especially Theyskens' Theory, which is always one of my favourites, I didn't rate much this time. And I didn't like Marc Jacobs at all (hate me now).
But on a positive note, yesterday was definitely good for evening wear. And I always concentrate on the positive. So today I'm bringing you some of my favourite looks. Reem Acra was one of faves. The embellishment and other detailing was superb. Donna Karan's show was surprising. It had a strong masculine influence, yet was very feminine. Very sexy, but sophisticated. Jenny Packham never dissapoints. No wonder it's popular by certain princess (Kate Middleton). Understated elegance, in gorgeous colour palette and interesting detailing. What is your favourite look?

New York Fashion Week - my favourite looks so far

New York Fashion Week is in full swing and I am actually struggling to keep up with it. Today I thought, whether it's actually possible to keep up with it all. So many shows each day, for a month straight. Anyway I'm doing my best to check out as many collections as possible.
So far I've noticed lot of military influences, lot of black, white, gold and oxblood (all my favourites), lot of fur (yay!) and some great knitwear. Also prints are still big! They are everywhere. Looks like it's going to be a very stylish autumn! What are you favourite looks so far?
Have a stylish day.

Party feet - Jason Wu AW 12

I can't believe the fashion month is upon us again. Where has the time gone? I am obviously very excited and as much as I would love to attend all fashion weeks, I can't, but always make sure I watch some live streams and catch up on all the photos on style.com.
My favourite show from yesterday is without a doubt Jason Wu. The whole collection had a strong military influence, which I'm not normally a fan of, but it was done in such a chic way, that I loved every single outfit. It was very sexy and sophisticated. I loved all the high-waisted skirts, fur and embroidery. There were Asian prints and colour palette of mostly black, khaki, red and fuchsia.
I also loved the studded shoes and sandals and printed pumps. That's why I decided to use his show as part of Party feet post.
What do you think of the collection? Which was your favourite so far?
Have a stylish day.

Michael Kors

Yesterday I had a great opportunity to pop into Michael Kors store at Westfields London. For a big Michael Kors fan like me, it's always a pleasure. I got to talking to the lovely and helpful sales-assistants, who complimented my beloved MK bag (picture below).
I've noticed 3 stores opening recently in London - on Regent street, Bond street and in Westfields and was wondering how well they've been doing. They said, yes, these stores have all been opened within the last eight months. I think that's an incredible achievement. They said things are going great with plans of more stores soon, despite Michal Kors being still quite unknown in the UK. That surprised me. Considering Michael last season celebrated thirty years in the fashion industry ( with a show full of his signature pieces), making great timeless clothing and accessories, being judge on Project Runway and having recently launched a jewellery line, you'd expect everyone to rave about him the same way as they do in US. Also on his side is the fact that his lines, although designer, seems cheaper than most of the others. I was compelled to put things right, hence this article. Bellow are images of my watch and bag, few of the many MK items I own, also images from the AW look book and as the sun is shining (I'm writing this post in the park, you may notice some grass in the pictures) I've included some sunglasses from his resort collection. I hope this will inspire you to visit one of his stores, if you haven't already, and fall in love with him, like me and many others.

The yellow trend continues

Earlier this week I wrote about a strong trend appearing on New York's runway - yellow colour. Well I can tell you, three days into London Fashion Week and it's obvious. Yellow is the colour to be seen in next spring/summer! As I said before, you can wear as much or as little of yellow as you want, but at least a bracelet or other accessory ( Sass and Bide pic4) or shoe detail (Jonathan Saunders pic 3) should be part of your outfit. If you prefer more, there are softer tones (Jaeger pic1) or bolder (Emilio de la Morena pic2) and loads of other options (keep checking for the latest news). So there you have it - yellow it is! You've been warned so you better start looking for your perfect shade now.

Stylish home by DvF

At the top are some of my favourite looks of Diane Von Furstenberg's SS 12 collection from New York Fashion Week. Prints and great use of colour are her signatures and it not only reflect in her womenswear but other areas too. Just look at these rooms she designed for Claridges hotel in London, that were revealed earlier this year. Yes the monochrome is there, the prints, colour. If you follow DvF on Twitter, you would know about her positivity and love for life. I think it shows well in whatever she does and for that she's such an inspiration to me. If I'm honest I wouldn't wear all her designs (but that's normal no?), but I certainly love her collections and definitely wouldn't mind staying in one of the rooms in Claridges. I wish her best of luck in all future projects and will look forward to seeing it all.
Have a stylish day.

Theyskens' Theory

I know there's still two days of New York Fashion Week left, but I dare to say I've seen my favourite show already. And it's not surprise it would by Theyskens' Theory because ever since Olivier's first collection, I loved every single one. All the outfits scream chic! Stylish separates that will go with everything that you already own, will just add some cool. Effortless, wearable are just few more words that could describe it and I want it all. I may even go a step further and say he makes the best pants around. And the blazers? Don't get me started. And the best news is, it's not as ridiculously expensive as you'd expect. Quite the opposite. Affordable fabulousness.
Have a stylish day.

Victoria by Victoria Beckham

I got rather excited few months back, when I first heard about Victoria Beckham's diffusion line. I'm very fond of them as usually they look younger, funkier and most importantly they are cheaper! Let's face it, not everyone can afford VB designs... The time is over and she showed the first collection of Victoria by Victoria Beckham during New York Fashion Week. I don't know the price range yet, but I can tell you the collection is all I imagined it to be. In the best way possible. Victoria is known for her simple fuss free designs and I love them. The line is full of dresses in clean silhouettes, mostly plain, some colour-blocking, prints, few ruffles or little detailing. Perfect every day pieces that can be dressed up or down. Timeless classics. I like it very much.

Yellow, yellow everywhere

New York Fashion Week is well under way and some strong trends are already emerging. We've seen luxe sportswear, prints, lots of flat shoes (!) and colour blocking is still big. When it comes to colours you can expect quite a wide palette. But the two that stood out for me are white (there were two all white collections so far by The Row and Bebe), and the one that will be everywhere come SS 12 is yellow. Whether you go for over all look, one item of clothing or accessories, you shouldn't be seen without a shade of this playful tone. Yellow was the only colour in otherwise black and white collection at Helmut Lang , who after few years of absence returned to catwalk. Queen of prints DvF used accents of yellow in her colourful collection and Preen did too in a light and feminine way (love their bellow the knee skirts). Donna Karan, Monique Lhuillier and others couldn't resist either.
And the same goes for men, as seen at Perry Ellis and Michael Bastian.
The good news is, if you find the right shade for your skintone, yellow can be very flattering. And it's a good mood lifter.
