Balmain

Spring 14 Bolmain is a rendition on the fabulous '80s.  The super models rocked it!  Talk about oversized, check out the large houndstooth and plaids on both skirts and leather bombers.  I love oversized patterns and Balmain certainly didn't shy far from that.  I also saw heavy chains, denim off-the-shoulder minis and sheer crystal-embellished skirts.

Dior

 Fascinating slogans give Dior a distinct surreal spin printed on the hyper-real iterations of the classic Dior flora.  This creates a setting something not unlike Alice in Wonderland.  Dior's pretty garden comprised of seaweed beading draped around model's necks, sideways pleats, fun colors and so much more.

Kenzo

Kenzo's water babes!  What's the inspiration here...the ocean!  Kenzo told a watery tale on the runway with blues, teals and greens on a watercolor background with big pops of pink and red which mirror a tropical sunset.  Gorgeous!

Stella McCartney

What a collection of bright, breezy and highly wearable dresses, jumpsuits and tea sets.  This season was "all about her wearing the clothes, not the clothes wearing her", explained McCartney backstage and we definitely saw a softer, more charming version of Stella.

Valentino

Valentino's regal runway screamed BEAUTY!  With an obvious influence from different cultures and ethnic backgrounds, this created a more bohemian feel that was quite extraordinary.  Talk about couture!

Chanel

What's not to love about Chanel?  I loved every single thing about it, from the tweed suit in a fresh updated fuchsia to the pink bubblegum leather trousers.  It was definitely Chanel at its wittiest best!

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!

Tommy Hilfiger

As fashion week S/S 14 has come to an end, I thought I'd share with you a couple of my favorite looks.  I absolutely fell in love with all these pieces including this crochet tunic by Tommy Hilfiger.  I was shocked, but this piece talked to me!  My other outstanding favorite is the Rebecca Minkoff dress.  How gorgeous is this?  Very dreamy and love the movement.  Overall, getting tidbits and updates via instagram from the famous bloggers out there about each show was the best part!  Enjoy!
