Paris Spring 2014 Fashion Week Street Style Part 3

In Paris, fashion statements are always simple but pronounced. At the moment, we’re seeing women rocking at least one bold color in their looks. Take Fan Bingbing in pastel pink, Holli Rogers in hot red, and Ulyana Sergeenko with a pop of royal blue on her turban. The trick is styling your vivid signature with black and white. It’s an effortless way to dress without submitting to monochromatic basics. Maybe it's the answer to the Parisian je ne sais quoi!

Everyone in Paris has been marveling at the good fortune of an Indian summer during Fashion Week, and while some took the sunny skies as a directive to dress equally as bright—such as M.I.A. in rose red prints and booties or Stephanie LaCava in emerald green Carven—others opted for a fall-like approach, regardless of the temperatures outside. Anne-Catherine Frey’s subdued take on camo was a lesson in how to restrain a showy trend, while Chiara Totire’s study in gray displayed how even the dullest of hues, when layered just right, can create a perfect autumnal palette. Another thing to note was the unique look of many of the outfits. A cream-colored coat was backed with a rooster, and  Sarah Chavez's crimson floor length sailor esque coat are both something I haven't seen before. There is no doubt that today PFW is about showing off your own.

Paris Spring 2014 Fashion Week Part 1

"Welcome to Paris, land of the dramatic statement piece. Voilà: Yasmin Sewell’s sweeping black skirt, and Giovanna Battaglia’s spotted vintage Alaïa dress. These are classics, and yet when you see them on the street at Fashion Week, it’s as if it’s for the first time. Same for Caroline Brasch Nielsen’s Calvin Klein denim overalls (and matching staple Chanel bag), and one showgoer’s stunning Ghesquière-era Balenciaga trench. It doesn’t take much accessorizing, just one incredible favorite."

Paris has always been seen by me as the city where showgoers opt to wear basics. They dress is relatively simple, stylish, not as colorful as Milan FW looks. However, the idea of spring has seemed to inject color in the air - and in fabric.

London Spring 2013 Fashion Week Street Style Part 2

When I think of LFW, I always think of the grunge, punky look. In this city, no one is afraid to go wild, go punk, or go casual. Fashion week is all about the comfort here, and showgoers look to convey that. Here is Susie Lau in a colorful Mary Katrantzou dress, but look again and you see the Meredith Wendell backpack and Nike sneakers. At Topshop Unique they strive to shine in ripped denim, while Marine Deleeuw makes a comfort statement in overalls and Nike sneakers. After all, fashion is the art of expressing yourself, and today it is being expressed just fine.

London Spring 2013 Fashion Week Street Style Part 1

A few September showers are hardly a surprise in London—there were plenty of smart coats, elegant trenches, and abbreviated trousers being worn by the well-prepared—but what is unexpected is that we’re seeing a slightly more playful take on bracing for the rain this season. One example? Outside J.W. Anderson, cropped bell-bottoms are interesting and efficient; they don’t drag on the wet streets, and they showcase your waterproof footwear, which is where the real story lies. Forget the Wellington boot. The rain-shoe-of-the-moment is a chunky platform—the London fashion crowd is clearly taking the night road this fall.

New York Spring 2014 Fashion Week Street Style Part 6

The beginning of the week was all about jeans and sweaters, so it's exciting to see colorful skirts and dresses making an appearance. There are hemlines of varying lengths, but a dressier vibe all-around. For these elegant women on the sidewalk, it's less street-style and more just—style.

One accessory that has been on the street as of late is the bike helmet—the statement staple of the season, introduced as a compliment to the convenient Citi Bikes. An obvious perk (aside from exercise and keeping green) is the front basket. Perfect for tossing in a clutch between shows. Of course, not all fashion is always bike-friendly, but it seems like many showgoers and models off-duty are divvying up their looks according to planned transport. Jeans for cycling days, slit Céline skirts and billowy dresses for the rest. For those of us in school, think about riding your bike to school for a few days. You will soon find that with the quick, independent transportation, you will be pretty happy with it.

Vogue's Cynthia Smith's Jewelry Styling

I literally live for Vogue's Five Days Five Looks One Girl posts. Basically what they are is this; every once in a while, (I think they are posting them every month, but I haven't checked yet) vogue.com posts an article in which one of their editors, fashion assistants, ect. are followed for five days by a photographer and photographed. Well, at least what they're wearing is. Then, once all the photos are in one place, the special woman in question goes back and talks about the story of each part of her five outfits in detail. After reading the latest one here, I was immediately struck with the idea of showcasing some of the jewelry that was photographed. Ever since I started reading these posts, I have noticed the great way the Vogue girls assemble their outfits, particularly their jewelry, which really catches my eye in terms of beauty and styling quality. Here, Cynthia Smith, Vogue Fashion Associate, stars in this arrangement of jewelry looks.

New York Spring 2014 Fashion Week Street Style Part 4

There are two sides to the fashion spectrum at play this week: the ladylike and the ultrastreet. Some other equal-but-polar-opposites: Miroslava Duma in a ladylike but daring multi-colored mini dress versus model Shu Pei’s slip-on sneakers and Brian Lichtenberg’s popular Homies sweatshirt. Or Nadia Sarwar

with bleached eyebrows and nose ring and earring connected with a long, silvery chain. Then there are the women who play both sides brilliantly, depending on the day. For example, Susie Lau wears Whistles camouflage accessorized with a pair of white headphones draped around her neck while just the day before, she wore a neon pink ASOS dress. Whether sweet or street, however, what’s exciting is that every look is a statement. There are no apathetic in-betweeners in New York this week.

New York Fashion Week is crazy for denim this season. We’re seeing the comfy blue weave in countless iterations: on models off duty worn with cool jackets and blazers; shredded pants on editors on the go; and boyfriend jeans slung around the hips with a chic belt. It’s unlikely that many of the women in these photographs are headed home to tend their farm after the shows (Hanneli Mustaparta’s white overalls make us wonder, though), but so far, on the street, the classic all-American fabric is winning out over its high-fashion counterparts.

Is it just me, or is comfort a big trend happening on the streets of New York this season? Sneakers and loafers seem to be the shoes of choice (not to mention summer’s favorite comeback: the Birkenstock sandal), worn with easy dresses and blazers. Also, the brand of choice seems to be simplicity-full Celine. A patchwork denim dress is paired with a sleek, low ponytail, and a feminine floral-print skirt is worn with a clean white tee. Showgoers may just be warming up to being back on the grind, but in any case, casual ease looks great on everyone.

From Fashion's Eyes: The Models, Editors, and Designers Share Their First Day of NYFW Photos

For those of us "stuck" in our homes during fashion week, the internet is always our best source for what is going on at the moment - this time in NYFW (New York Fashion Week). Collected here are just a fraction of behind the scene shots scrounged up from social media sites where the members of the fashion world are present. I might be doing more of these behind the scene shots, but it all depends on the success of this post, as well as my time limit. So, without further ado, I hope you enjoy this post!

What To Expect For This Coming Fashion Month's Street Style

One of my very favorite parts of the fashion weeks are seeing the fantastic street style looks. I, personally, can't wait for the start of fashion month - I am eagerly awaiting the new street style looks almost as much as seeing the collections, if just on the internet. As to give you all an idea on what to expect (even if you can't expect anything when it comes to fashion), I have put together an array of photos from past fashion weeks, all from Australia to Milan to London to Paris, not to mention the Big Apple. Hope you enjoy!

Summer Street Style Spotted In Dallas

I was in Dallas today, and as I was hopping on and off trams, looking at museums, and just enjoying the very interesting world of downtown Dallas, I saw some very inspiring outfits - also known as street style. I photographed a sampling of what I saw, and through these pictures, I believe I can very well determine the trends that are passing through late summer this year. These pictures aren't anything like the Fashion Week street style photos, but still, this is my first street style post, and I am sure it won't be my last!
