Buckle Up!

Love 'em or hate 'em, belts are back in a major way! We saw the belt trend exploding on the runways of New York Fashion week, London, Milan, and now Paris is following suit!

Come Spring we are all going to be putting belts over everything! Try throwing on a belt over a swingy floral dress or even a structured jacket for a more sophisticated look. This trend is a great way to update that item in your wardrobe you've worn one too many times- I think (hope) we all can relate!

I pulled some of my favorite looks from the Paris runway's thus far and they can all be seen above. My favorite of this bunch is the wide gold belt over the frilly white dress from Chanel. Which one is your favorite?

Looks:
1-2 Valentino

3-4 Alexander McQueen

5-8 Chanel

9-11 Givenchy

12 Saint Laurent

Meanwhile in London town....

 

Coming out of London yesterday was a lot of talk of the pasties that Tom Ford sent down the runway for SS15. That was great and all, but what stuck with me was Christopher Kane's presentation. Kane used a lot of dark, somber hues that could almost be fitting for a Fall/Winter collection.

Spring, Summer, Fall…I don’t care what season it is, these looks are effortlessly cool.  The images above are some of my favorite looks that are sure to become next season’s lust-worthy pieces. Especially the leather track pants in the top image and that burgundy leather jacket in the second. It's not even technically Fall yet, but this collection has me yearning for Spring '15.
