runway inspired.

While I’m so excited to be experiencing my first fall in NYC, a few runway shows from NYFW have me already counting down the months until spring!  Bloglovin‘ is challenging bloggers to create a runway inspired post from Rebecca Minkoff’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to take elements from her spring collection and integrate them into my fall wardrobe.

My favorite elements from RM’s show were the graphic lines and baroque-style prints — a balanced contrast between traditional patterns and modern details.  So when I found this baroque graphic print dress from Topshop, I knew it would pair perfectly with a peplum top for a look that’s both edgy and sophisticated.

how to: wear white after labor day.

I’m so excited to share a style collaboration that I’ve been working on with three beautiful bloggers: Jessica of Bows & Sequins, Tara of Mix and Match Fashion, and Sara of Glitter & Grace.  Every other Wednesday for the next two months, we’ll be taking one trend and styling it four ways.  It’ll be a fun way to challenge ourselves and hopefully give you inspiration on how to incorporate trends into your own looks.

For the first round, we’re showing you how to wear white after Labor Day.  While many people still hold onto the belief that you shouldn’t wear white after summer is over, we say break those rules!  They never made sense anyway!

For me, this challenge was the perfect time to break out the white blazer that I bought during Zara’s online summer sale.  I paired it with floral pants and black accessories for a sharp, yet flirty look.  For more, check out how Jess, Tara, and Sara will be wearing white after Labor Day over at their blogs!

going graphic.

I’m still on a black and white kick from yesterday’s post.  Today, I added a bit more color with bright purple shorts and a coral crossbody bag.  Gold accessories make for the perfect final touch.
