Something Old, Something New

Paris Fashion Week - Loewe SS19

After flipping through about 50 still photos and watching the pieces in motion coming down the runway, the only thing I could really think was how much I loved all of the textures. From sophisticated satin and brightly colored feathers to raffia cross-body bags; this collection spoke to every part of me. Could I possibly be a Loewe woman now?

Loewe has never been on my radar, as I’ve always viewed it as a brand known for it’s luxury accessories and leather good. However, with this collection there were notes of a nomadic, carefree woman that I found rather relatable. The color palette was easily disgestible, and to my liking. The silhouettes ranged from fringed and flowly to more structured blazers which reinforced the brands elegance.

Could this be the start of a budding aspirational relationship between myself and Loewe

Have You Seen That New....H&M Studio AW17 Collection

Black, White & A Pop of Colour

I'm sure it's safe to say that we all own at least something from H&M, and boy it's good to see them tipping their toes into the high-fashion realms.  Lucky for us pieces included in this amazing studio collection will soon be in a store near us, and were even avail for purchase right after the runway show.  Don't you just love the new see now, buy right from runway wave of fashion. 

The collection contains all the things I am currently obsessing over which is ruffles, feminine lace notes and transparent layers with a light and refreshing twist.  Keeping the color scheme quite monochrome is one that is most attractive to my minimalist style.  But one can not ignore the brilliance that the pop of fuschia on the lip and splashed throughout the collection provided.

I also really appreciated the androgyny and structured pieces throughout the collection.  This was said to be the first H&M collection that featured menswear.  Guys (and the gals) donned everything from tailored suiting to brightly colored pink coats and hoodies.
