trends for f/w 16

hey lovelies ! here is a few trends for this season and how to style them. Article inspired by WGSN.

Pleated midi skirt -  pleats and bodre fabrics adding structure to styles. Metallics, Lurex and mesh drive a Gucci-inspired air across retailers. Paired with bomber jackets or oversized band hoodies and fur. sneakers or boots depending on the weather. You can either dress it up or down depending on the top you chose !

Embroidery accents - Embroidery originally emerged from Gucci. Usually seen on denim, now retailers are taking a step up and putting them on literally anything: blouse, hoodies, skirts, you name it. Mostly floral/nature inspired embroidery remain the focus.  

with the embroidery come the back details. patches and embroidery focused to the back or the top. With statements or brand names. 

vintage tees - it continues to be important for retailers, but now using different sillouhettes and styling details. Rock band tees are taking most of the place in this category. Mostly on dark grey or black bases adding a boyish edge to the outfits.

metallics - obviously the holiday season is here so shine is the focus. Gold and silver are most important here but retailers put their own twist on the shiny. It's seen on dresses. bodysuits, skirts, anything! 

hem details - We saw hem details first from denim cut at the end. But now retailers are taking a turn and adding step hem, pompoms and different silhouettes.

fashion trends for the colder weather

hey lovelies !
the colder months are just around the corner, here are some fashion trend items to add to you closet & keep warm, especially when you live in Canada!
the key message for this season

SPORTY SEPARATES COLLIDE WITH AN ULTRA-FEMININE AND ECLECTIC STYLING DIRECTION, AS THE APPETITE FOR HYBRID LOOKS INCREASES.THIS, COMBINED WITH THE DEMAND FOR TRANS-SEASONAL PIECES, PROVIDES A COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITY TO UPSELL ACROSS CATEGORIES THIS AUTUMN

decorative denim 

Layer a denim jacket or add a thick vintage inspire pair of jeans with some embroidery, patches or color block.

lace layer

Lingerie inspired items have been trendy for a few seasons now, but for winter, layer a lace slip dress over or under a thick sweater, or had a cute lace tank over a long sleeve top

mesh overlay

Add a mesh shirt over a basic tee or wear a long sleeve mesh bodysuit over a cute lace bra

puffy coat

We've seen RiRi wear a bright pink one, really extravagant, but retailers took it to a more commercial level. Wear your puffy jacket with pretty much anything ! The oversized cut makes it easy to layer over all your favorite outfits 

souvenir bomber

If you don't own a bomber, what are you doing with your life???? bomber jackets became a staple last season. for f/w 2016, go for the souvenir style bomber with baseball sleeves, embroidery and a vintage look.Most seen in a satin fabric and/or with quilting. 

cold shoulder sweater

You love your cute cold shoulder crop top from summer? well no worries, they come in sweaters too! don't be scared to be cold with the one from last season, just get a knit and you'll be safe for the colder months

colored faux fur

We knew that faux fur was a statement for accessories&footwear, but now it's becoming one in apparel. Retailers are adding pops of colours adding bright faux fur trims to jackets.

SS17 fashion shows - Highlights

Fashion week is soon coming to an end, and I wanted to highlight some trends and some of my favourite looks from europeen fashion weeks. It goes sooooo fast, couldn't keep up with the blog post BUT I still have a review.

Some trends we were seeing again were mesh, athletic looks, oversized tops/jackets, bralettes, florals, leather. We've been also seeing a lot of flatforms, jugle fever (animal prints), big puffy sleeves reminding of pirates, feathers accents. Everything is extravagant.

 Here are some of my favourites looks.

I also wanted to separate Balmain because IT WAS LIFEEEE. those looks were everything. olivier rousteing really did the MOST for this collection. Love everything about it TBH. The silk, the mesh, the booooobs, the earthy colours, the shininess, looove. I picked a few but I wish I could just put everything on here haha. look it up tho http://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spring-2017-ready-to-wear/balmain

LFW review - Topshop & Versace

Hey lovelies ! :)

Today I'm going to review 2 designers from the London Fashion Week. Fashion week is the best time to look for inspo and motivation!

First, Versus Versace. Donatella slayyyyyed me with this collection. it's fantastic. Of course Bella Hadid was opening, she really has the look to go with the badass outfit she was wearing. Again, glitters/sparkles, mesh& yellows were still trending (from NYFW) Also, she used a lot of leather& denim. Loved the denim on denim look (below) !

Then Topshop Unique. This collection was like the business women goes wild haha. Classy looks with an edge by using the bold magenta or an oversized jacket. Floral, mesh, satin & yellow were still there as well as leather. 

EMMYs 2016 Best Dressed

Hey Lovelies !

here are my favs looks from the emmys this year !

Loved the sparkles and the long dresses. Very glamorous and sexy :)

NYFW review - DKNY, Phillip Lim, Rag & Bone

Hey Lovelies !

Today I'm going to review 3 designers! It's soooo hard to pick because there were so many good ones but I chose to review those because I felt like I would actually were the looks below. trends that I've noticed for the spring 2017 season - Floral prints, athletics/sporty looks& silk.

First, DKNY. Can we talk about Bella Hadid for a sec? She was SLAYING the opening. I love the Hadid sisters, but I feel like Bella is the one who has more of a runway look. I'm obsessed with those boots!!!! And the dark lips was a good choice.

Second, Phillip Lim. Lots of denim, silk and floral prints. Loved the catwalk that was covered in flowers to go with the theme. Sexy with the bralettes showing yet casual and trendy.

Last, Rag & Bone. the first look is perfect. Love the silk slip dress, a really important trend to note. again, silk silk silk silk all over again ! Add a bomber jacket and a track suit and you're good to go.

BACK TO SCHOOL 2016

Hey lovelies !
The back to school season is right here, even though I am not going back (sad) I thought I could highlight the trends for this year and show some outfit ideas.

90s grunge 

It's alllll about the throwback and layering! This theme is one of the biggest I'd say in this BTS season. Plaid shirts (preferably tied around the waist), statement tees, distressed denim or raw edge denim, slip dress over a white crop tee, choker necklace, patch details, bomber jacket and more. Here are a couple of looks to help you style this theme.

Sport Sleek

This theme is about making the athletic clothe look chic and trendy. First and biggest key item for this trend would be the bomber jacket. Lightweight bombers, satin bomber, poly-filled bomber.... alllll the bombers ! Paired with a baseball hat This theme is more simple in colour: earth tones (beiges, black, greys, olive) changing the prints and logos for textures and different fabrics.

urban planet/sirens inspo

Boho

This theme is full of bold and bright prints. It allows a smooth transition from summer to fall with floral and tribal prints in its main focus. A lot of embroidery and embellishment with layers of scarf and military jackets.
