LFW: The Looks We Loved

We love following London Fashion Week. It's the less serious version of New York; louder brigher, and a ton of fun.  Like New York, the fall 2012 runway featured a ton of bright colours and graphic prints. Whether on their own or mixed and matched, fall is about being daring and bold with your wardrobe. Here are some of the looks we loved from LFW:



Vivienne Westwood

  Temperley London and Twenty8Twelve







A.L.C





Top Shop Unique









Thakoon Addition

Grab A Furry Friend






A hot trend from NYFW is one you might not have excpected! Graphic sweaters featuring some of our favourite four legged friends were everywhere, from Burberry to Michael Bastain, and even on the street. We can't wait to cozy up with a furry friend!

The amazing style of those attending fashion week is almost as fun to watch as the shows themselves. Here are some of the looks we loved from outside of NYFW.

NYFW: The Boys

We can't forget about the boys! Check out our favorites from NYFW, including all the colored bottoms that are to die for.


The looks We Loved: NYWF








Mara Hoffman reached true perfection with her fall 2012 collection, full of stunning prints and maxi dresses. We are officially obsessed!




And how precious are these outfits from Red Valentino? 





Elizabeth and James dazzled us with rich colors and bold florals. How amazing is that stunning red fur coat?

NYFW: The Trends

NYFW has officially wrapped and we couldn't be more excited for fall. Although there were the drab dark collections that always accompany fall, we couldn't help but notice a whole lot of colour, and print- print- print, which we loved! And when we say prints we mean: head to toe prints, mixed and matched prints, printed pants, and printed jackets, you name it and it was printed. But as much print as there was, it seemed everyone agreed on one thing- make it floral!

In a season usually known for black, grey, and a vast array of neutrals, we adored the multitude of colour shown on the runway for Fall. Tangerine is the colour for spring 2012 and it looks like we are not ready to give it up. Splattered all over the Fall runway was a mix of stunning shades of orange and red, but they were not alone up there, yellow and  hunter green made a huge pop as well!

Orange You Glad:

A Blast of Sunshine:

The Hunt is on:


 Charlotte Ronson, Marc Jacobs, Oscar De Le Renta, Milly

We have been talking about fur a lot lately, but never have we seen so much of it! Whether a detail, an accessory, or an outfit, it's a must have for fall 2012.

 And let's not forget the lace!

But if we learned anything from NYFW to prepare us for fall, it's mix and match these trends like there is no tomorrow: orange lace, lace over yellow, yellow with floral prints, prints with fur, fur with lace. Throw it all on and you can't go wrong!
