I absolutely love how comfort and edge was combined here. Much of a chic bohemian look. Take a look. How would you re-create this!?

London Fashion Week- Mary Katrantzou Fall 2013 RTW Collection

                 Mary Katrantzou Fall 2013 Collection

As New York Fashion week ends London Fashion week begins. Here is a very interesting collection that combines nature, art and Japanese culture in the mix. These pieces are somewhat soothing with a bit of edge.

NYFW- Marc Jacobs Fall 2013 Collection

Reading certain blogs like Fashionista.com and CFDA - all were blown away by Marc Jacob's show. After seeing the collection myself, I must say I'm not that blown away. I did though, find a few pieces that really stuck out to me. I am a huge fan of the furs, the comfort and warmth for this fall/winter. These pieces combines style with comfort and furs. Get excited!
Of course, each piece can be worn differently in real life. Depending on the occasion and weather, I would mix the furs with velvet tights or leather pants. How would you style up the look?

NYFW-Bibhu Mohapatra Fall 2013 Collection

           Bibhu Mohapatra Fall 2013 Collection

I must say, Bibhu Mohapatra has put together an amazing collection this season. I am completely in love with the structures and chick styles in color, fabric textures and patterns. 

Lets start with the the awesome furs. I am intrigued by this particular jacket by the way it makes the waste look smaller up on top yet it remains it's integrity with it's long panels of fur-on both left and right side of the jacket. The long-ness, the fur side panels, and black textured sleeves, leaves an outstanding impression on the body-making it look long, lean and slim. This style of jacket works for all body types. I cannot wait to see this style in the streets of NYC!

This next piece, is my next favorite jacket because of it's leather and fur combination. It is a rich and chick look which can be worn on a regular day to day basis to spice up a simple outfit. 

Of course, I had to choose this next awesome fur as my final fur piece. It is a very cozy,warm, rich look that can also spice up a simple outfit-for sure

This final jacket is an interesting piece. It manages to wrap around while keeping it's structure. This style of jacket has spotted on the runways many times this season. Oscar de La Renta actually created a longer version of a wrap around structured jacket as well. 

I am hoping to put together more affordable look-alike styles, for those of us who are out there working hard and/or in school, paying bills and maintaining somewhat of a decent home. Stay tuned people!

NYFW-Kate Spade New York

Kate Spade New York Fall 2013 Collection


Kate Spade is known to add color blocks, pop of colors, studs, and edge to her designs. This collection differs from others in a way that textures and patterns are combined together in an oddly manner-yet it works! How would you make each piece into your own look?

NYFW-Rachel Zoe

                            Rachel Zoe Fall 2013 Collection

One of my ultimate piece from Rachel Zoe's collection Sounds simple enough but first thing, check out the cut off fingered long leather gloves! Gloves seem to be hitting the runaways this season. These gloves would look perfect with a pancho like coat-where sleeves are not an option. 

The turtle-neck casual dress-I can totally see wearing this to work or even a lunch date with friends. Adding a long fitted blazer with stocking and a colored pump would do the trick-in a work environment. A white long sleeve blouse underneath this dress with pumps and accessories, such as a gold cuff, and a clutch, would look awesome for a lunch outing with friends. How would you make this look your own?

More furs on the runway! Rachel Roy is even wearing one of her very own fur coat. Did you think this was tacky or cool of her? Stay tuned for postings of all designers who presented fur looks into their very own collections with unique accessories. 

NYFW - Oscar De La Renta

                    Oscar De la Renta Fall 2013 collection

 Furs are still hitting the runways. I love the way the color of each of these outfits are coordinated together. As the average person, one wouldn't think of putting any of these colors together. This goes to show you, that it can really work!

 The style can be created into a more casual look by adding a pair of jeans and red pumps. The gloves are an accessory which makes the overall look come together. How would you make each piece into your own look? 

Capes are also hitting the runways! Love this "little red ridding hood" look. The black sheer capes are very much presented on the casual side. Jeans, pumps, and those featured gloves would be pulled off very well in the streets of NYC. Who is going to show me the their own look?
