F A S H I O N F A V O R I T E S: Spring 2015

It's officially fall, so what better time to start talking about spring! Spring fashion week, that is. Yes, the latest from New York, London, Milan and Paris are coming in and that means that I spend a significant amount of time in my robe looking at all the pretty clothes from the season. Nevermind that I haven't bathed and look like hell. If I am looking at high fashion that means I AM high fashion, right?!?
Here are some of my personal favorites from this season...

Etro/McQ/Bally



Everything Plum

Band of Outsiders


Band of Outsiders usually wins this category for me. Some how, Band of Outsiders takes normal (or even boring) pieces, and pairs them in such a way to make them fresh and unique. Plus, that crazy hat? Only Band of Outsiders could make me want to wear a hat like that.

 Emilio Pucci


The brighter the better. Plus, I'm a sucker for tie dye.

F A V O R I T E   U S E   of   P R I N T S

Tomas Maier


I am not too familiar with this designer, but I really liked the use of print (and color) in this collection. I love bold prints, but there is something to be said with subtle prints. It takes a real talent to use a subtle print and make it stand out, OR make a bold print subtle. I can't tell which technique Tomas Maier is doing, but I like.

Steven Alan


Once again, Steven Alan takes the throne for basics. He just. knows. basics.

Elizabeth & James



I love when a collection is styled so perfectly, that you just want to wear it for every occasion... on the other hand, there are collections that make me want to mix and match. Elizabeth and James definitely won me over this season with their separates. Everything is so perfect on it's own, you can't lose.

Sea




So casual, so polished, and most importantly, so comfy. Perfect street wear.

Erin Fetherston


I've always been a fan of Erin Fetherston, her collections always have a very cool and feminine vibe. Normally, I don't pair those two adjectives together, but Erin Fetherston makes it work somehow.

Ulla Johnson


Here is a collection with wools, cottons, linens, and leather.. I just want to reach out and touch, which is why I am thankful I'm at my house instead of making a scene at the actual show.

Michael Kors


Michael Kors is ALWAYS reminding me of vintage silhouettes, but is so good at making them fresh and current. Not to mention his use of layers. So good.

Gareth Pugh


Weird but wearable.

Wayne


Wayne's collection almost took my "favorite overall" category. ALMOST. I love everything about this collection, but especially the silhouettes. No words.
