Spotting Trends from NYFW (Fall/Winter 2014)

While I'm supposed to be studying for my tests, I've been spotting upcoming fall/winter trends in NYFW. Since fashion weeks start in New York, I COULD be wrong about what I'm suggesting, but based on everything I've seen in NYFW, these are probably two of the upcoming fall/winter 2014 trends you might want to check out (and not miss):

1. PLAID

From left to right: Anna Sui, DKNY, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Vera Wang

2. BLACK

From left to right: DKNY, DKNY, Donna Karen, Michael Kors, Polo Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang

I know there are more, like red and houndstooth, but given my lack of time and my aversion to being wrong, I figured I'd make a small post about this.

Some brands that caught my eye from NYFW: DKNY, Polo Ralph Lauren, Zac Posen, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Betsey Johnson

Not Yet 21.

The Day's Outfit:
Army Green Utility Jacket (see similar here)
'Back To The Future' Tee (see similar here)
Retro Square Sunglasses (see here)
Blue Denim Shorts (see similar here)
Faded Chocolate-Brown Boots (see similar here)

All from Forever 21.

I swear this was not done on purpose. It just happened that when I left the house, I realized I was dressed in ENTIRELY Forever 21. If this doesn't show the love I have for the brand, I don't know what does.

I've loved this utility jacket since the day I bought it, (Which is DEFINITELY more than 6 months back) and I never seem to get bored of it. Aside from me being short, the length and baggy look adds a lot of grunge to any casual outfit.

Top it off with sunglasses, boots and red lipstick (or a beanie) and you're good to go!
Perfect for a lazy day out.

Best part? It matches with almost anything. (Unless you have a tee that's that exact color then... Too bad for you. hahaha)

Personally, I love how the red lipstick adds brightness to the entire outfit (because I seem quite gloomy and boring without it). I seriously think red lipstick is a magical accessory. Everybody should own a stick. Hahaha.

NY Fall Fashion Week 2013

Finally! Recess Week is coming! Fashion weeks have come and gone and I've yet to churn out a single post on my favorite pieces! Here's a mini post to (hopefully) satisfy some of you darlings out there. I've only seen New York Fashion Week pictures, so please forgive my lack of depth in terms of style.

Preppy & Ready to Hit the Streets

The first thing that caught my eye are the extremely wearable pieces that dropped down on us during New York Fashion Week. Brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren and Vera Wang paraded their models with deliciously stunning preppy wear for this fall/winter that left me drooling by the time I was done.

Personal favorite? Ralph Lauren's designs (ie. The two on the far right).
Maybe it's because they feel so much like myself and what I would wear that they topped my favorites of Fashion Week, but Tommy Hilfiger (Three on the far left in plaid) holds a close second.

Of course, there were many others that caught my eye, but I only have that much space in a picture (and that much time on my hands).

Till next time.
