BCBG Max Azria AW14



          BCBG is one of the shows that's had the biggest impression on me in these first few days of fashion week. Maybe it's just the cold weather getting to me, but I would love to wrap myself in one of their luxurious, fur capes or coats. While their outerwear was definitely the high point of their collection, I'm also digging the color palette. Everyone's been talking about pastels for winter and BCBG incorporated them in a very understated, approachable way. Soft pinks instead of bubblegum, stripes of aqua blue, and accents of orange all lent themselves to the greys, whites, and blacks. I usually gravitate toward the latter in winter, but I'd be willing to wear these more colorful pieces without a second thought. Additionally, their acid wash print was a pleasant reminder of burning wood -- the patterns made in logs as they become charcoal. Overall, this collection felt cozy and warm, making it one I'd be dying to get my hands on come fall.

What I Wore to New York Fashion Week

          I found out that I was going to NYFW just in time for my annual birthday shopping spree, so I got everything at TJ Maxx with New York City in mind. I've been obsessing over leather and really edgy pieces and this resulted in an entirely black shopping cart. I didn't mean for everything to be black, but I figured I would fit right in!

          My fashion week wardrobe consisted of two pairs of leather pants, black Cole Haan ankle boots, a studded cross tank, a draped jacket with leather sleeves, lime green Ralph Lauren pumps (that I practically stole for five dollars!), BCBG pointy toe t-strap heels, and a Cynthia Rowley LDB with leather lacing down the sides.

White After Labor Day



          I'm a firm disbeliever in the "no white after Labor Day" rule. While I do think that there are certain clothes, colors, and patterns that just aren't appropriate for cooler months, I don't think any one characteristic should be singled out. Plenty of spring/summer clothes can be transitioned into fall, including white. It all just depends on what you wear with it.

          I wore this white lace top with dark jeans and black pumps to give it a darker edge that is more suitable for fall. Plus, this top has leather details that make it more versatile, as leather is usually worn in fall and winter.


           My t-strap pumps were a new purchase for my birthday. I'm not normally one for pointy toes, but I was very impressed by the way these elongate my legs. I figured they would not only be a great basic to have, but would also be the perfect shoe to dress up casual pieces like jeans or tees.
