NYFW: Charlotte Olympia Fall 2015 Sneak Peek

NYFW: Charlotte Olympia Fall 2015 Sneak Peek

Charlotte Olympia NYFW Dolly

While visiting New York for fashion week a couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting the Charlotte Olympia showroom for a sneak peek of their upcoming collection. For those of you who know anything about me, shoes are my ULTIMATE weakness (though I have a tendency to always re-wear my favorites, oops). I posted a designer spotlight about Charlotte Olympia quite some time ago – check it out here for a little background on the designer – but her shoes are absolutely amazing. From her signature Dolly to her insanely creative themed collections, this is one brand I obsess over.
For her newest collection, A World of Interiors, the designer created a line inspired by  an ornate mid-century home filled with decadent heirlooms and precious family heirlooms. With cocktail table clutches and materials of wood and marble, we can definitely see the influence of “interiors” among this accessory line. For those of you who love the feline collection, you will be excited to see the introduction of her small accessory line featuring key chains, iPhone holders, credit card holders, and iPad cases – perfect gift ideas!
Apart from the funky handbags and sky-high heels, Charlotte Olympia also launched her new ABC collection featuring a colorful collection of classic loafers with a wide array of themed adhesives to customize your shoes. Whether you are a “C is for Champagne” kind of girl or a “V is for Va Va Voom”, this collection has a style for everyone – starting at 695.
Check out my photos from the showroom and let me know what you think – Are you as in love with it as I am? Click here to shop her current collections.

NYFW RECAP: Kate Spade Fall 2015 Presentation

NYFW RECAP: Kate Spade Fall 2015 Presentation

Kate Spade Fall 2015 NYFW Presentation

As the temperatures drop, our craving for indulgence rises. We head inside, into the city’s cozy hotel bars and hidden lounges where we hatch wild schemes, embellish small tales, share secrets and feed our senses. The intimate conversations we enter into have sumptuous layers – of sly wit, flirtatious entendres and out of the ordinary ideas – that slowly unravel as we warm up to our environment and the delightful people around us, both known and unknown.

And so the collection’s relaxed layers of rich woolen plaids, flannels and quilting mix with pretty hues and elaborately adorned fabrics. Iconic silhouettes are nipped and tucked to befit our modern heroine, woodland fox reds and accents of pink – both softly spoken and as shocking punctuation – mix with chocolately browns, blacks and cream.

Where audacious femininity meets a sense of adventure is where our Fall begins. Expect the unexpected.
– Deborah Lloyd ~ Chief Creative Officer

One of my favorite presentations from NYFW in September was Kate Spade, so it was no surprise to see that Kate Spade pleased the crowd once again. With another fabulous showing at Center 548, models dressed to impress in hues of pink and red with furs and plaids, creating an unexpected mix leaving guests in awe. Invitees mingled and photographed the collection as male models served champagne and bites – can it get any better than that? Check out some of my favorite looks from the Fall 2015 collection and let us know what you think. Are you ready to add a vibrant touch to your future wardrobe?

Missguided Grid Print Dress

When the term “shift dress” comes to mind I immediately imagine a conservative and classic structured dress. Though this is often the case, I have developed a new obsession with Missguided’s shift dress section (well.. all of their dresses for that matter), which contain a wide array of styles from classic to modern, structured to slouchy. This checked shift I snagged for my recent trip is one of my newest favorites. The shape is extremely comfortable and perfect for those relaxed afternoons, and the shirt sleeve tie waist totally embraces my favorite 90s trend. I paired this dress with my platform boots and mirrored aviators for a casual daytime look. See how I styled my checked dress and shop some of my favorite shifts below!  Missguided Black and White Dress Mirror Ray Bans NYFW Street Style 2014 NY Fashion Blogger Missguided Tie Dress

Trendy Travel Outfit

When it comes to traveling, comfort is definitely my primary focus for dressing. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I see people venturing through the airport looking like they just rolled out of bed in their pajama pants and a college tee. With all of the cozy-chic pieces readily available in retail stores, I think it’s time we all put that look to rest. Whether you choose a great pair of stretch jeans, trendy joggers, chic sneakers, or a classic Vince tee, your travel look will be updated in a snap.

For my recent travel experience, I picked up a new pair of DL1961 stretch skinnys for the journey and paired them with an oversized Free People thermal. I tossed on my favorite floppy hat to give that “put together” look, my floppy combat boots to save my soles from heels, and my favorite leather messenger bag for all of my travel goodies.
