SATURDAY TREND SPOTTING 》PLAID ALL AROUND AT LFW

Plaid was everywhere at London Fashion Week.  Regardless of who says plaid is in or out, I think it's a constant classic.  Pair this preppy pattern with leather moto jackets and boots for a look a little less school girl and more cool girl!  There's just something about wearing plaid that screams fall weather and curling up next to a fire.  Although cozy plaid flannel shirts are so comfortable, this trend has evolved to a more chic and sophisticated look, such as a pencil skirt or a polished sheer plaid blouse.  This Free People skirt is fab and so is this Marc Jacobs one which is also on sale!  In the colder months this statement coat by Madewell would be a great option to bring in the plaid trend to your wardrobe.  Talking about staying chic, this sheer blouse from Forever 21 will do just that, paired with a high waist leather skirt you will be good to go!  You could also add these plaid flats and do print mixing.  Have fun with it and happy Fall!

BEST OF: LONDON FASHION WEEK S/S 14

First up - Burberry 

Let's just start by saying, "WOW"!  I was completely in awe over this runway show.  This Burberry collection fused the sexy and the protective.  The mix of prints, sparkle, incredible heels, vibrant pastels and impeccable detail were all showstoppers.  Not to mention the amazing white sunglasses every girl would love for Spring.  Well done!

Next up - DAKS

This was my favorite look all around from the Daks runway show.  With the ever so popular 70s inspired silhouette, this iconic look stole the show in my opinion.  Where can I find those fantastic earrings?

Moving on to - Mulberry 

With such great color combos using only orange, light blue, navy, black and a few more pastels, no wonder Mulberry is so loved.  That handbag was my favorite out of the show!  There was a definite aspiration to the sixties with shift dresses, brocade skirts and sweet suits which I adore.

On to - Tom Ford

Who doesn't love Tom Ford?  I do!  With leather becoming more and more popular in the spring and summer seasons, this show proved that leather is still going strong way past fall and winter.  But not just any kind of leather, LUXE leather.  We wouldn't expect any thing less!  Although I'm obsessed with this leather look, my eye went straight towards this super-charged short coral dress with sheer inserts.  Right up my alley!

Last, but not least - Temperley London

Where do I start?  Temperley was inspired by a holiday in Sicily which is quite obvious given the array of luxurious heavy silks and beautiful sheer fabrics.  This show was very glamorous and opulent to say the least without being overpowering.  But can you guess what stole the show?  It was the exquisite silhouettes and embellishments of each garment.  Trapeze shapes, dropped waists and exaggerated shoulders made for elegant, timeless dresses while crystal embellishments and embroidered flowers were breathtakingly beautiful.  The vibrant colors alone are enough to make this collection stand out.  Absolutely my favorite show hands down of London Fashion Week!
