Sequins on the Runway for NYFW F/W 17

Nicole Miller

So I just love sequins. As a big Ashish fan, I’d find any excuse to wear sequins and would wear it for just about anything. It’s a great way to brighten up an otherwise dull winter wardrobe and that’s just what designers had in mind for New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2017. Milly, Jeremy Scott, Alexander Wang and more all featured a sequined item or two in their fall/winter collections. I just love these pieces.

Cuban Dream: Chanel Cruise 2016/17

160504155711-chanel-cuba-new-5-super-169Palm Trees. Sequins. Cigars. Old Cars. It was a Cuban dream at the Chanel Cruise 2016/17 Fashion Show yesterday. Chanel nailed their fashion show by incorporating all things that come to mind when thinking about Cuba but maintained their backbone. There was tweed and beautiful materials of course, but 1950s cars and cigar box handbags.

CHANEL_Cruise_Cuba_Show-54CHANEL_Cruise_Cuba_Show-68I loved it! In Florida, it’s basically resort wear all year long and this show definitely gave me some great inspiration. I definitely want to get over to Cuba one of these days. By the way, if you are in Cuba Karl Lagerfeld is showing more than 200 of his photographs at Factoria Habana until May 12th.

Two Gorgeous Dresses for The Holiday Season

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you’re feeling festive and winding down your work year to enjoy the Holiday. It’s that time of the year. Party after party. I found the perfect holiday dresses from Preen by Thornton Bregazzi and Proenza Schouler. They are fabulous for the season.

Coterie Spring 2016

I have to say that I was a little disappointed in what I found this year at ENK Coterie for Spring 2016. There wasn’t that much to choose from or of interest. The shows were cool but let’s be frank, some of the best we saw from New York Fashion Week was the Givenchy show. Anyway, I did stumble upon some cute finds, saw lots of color and sequins (everywhere). Sequins and fringe. That’s definitely going to be big for next year’s spring season.

I also came across Chiara Ferragni’s new shoe collection. It’s very colorful and playful. Some it was a bit too loud for me. Cupcakes and Cashmere launched a new clothing line for Spring 2016. I had no idea she was doing clothing but guess so. I couldn’t get photos though because they hadn’t been released yet but these samples were really cool.

Take a look at what I found!

Fave Looks So Far from New York Fashion Week SS 2016 (And Givenchy! *Swoon*)

Tanya Taylor

These have to be some of my favorite looks so far from the New York Fashion Week Spring 2016 shows. I’ve seen lots of pink, blue, sequins and feathers on the runway and am just loving it. Tanya Taylor had an amazing show and the shoes were to die for! I have to say though Givenchy (watch it here) had to be my favorite show thus far. I feel bad for the model that really fell and bloodied herself but it  didn’t stop a thing. The face makeup, jewelry and craftmanship that Givenchy displayed was just out of this world. Take a look at the show below if you haven’t seen it already and what do you think of the season so far?

Sabo Skirt Palm Trees and Neon Shorts for Ty Hunter’s No Basics Brunch

DSC01884Yesterday, I went to the No Basics Brunch hosted by Ty Hunter at Corner Social in Harlem. The music was great and the food made my belly happy. There’s nothing like a good brunch to relax on a summer Saturday.

I wore vintage Sabo Skirt palm tree shorts, a black crop top and neon pumps (similar here). It was a perfect outfit for the near 90 degree weather! Ty Hunter hosted the brunch and I had the opportunity to chat fashion with him. He wore a sequined leopard print top that I just adored! You all know that I love my sequins.

Anyway, I had a great time. Check out the photos below!
