Runway Recap // Jason Wu, Jenny Packham, Jill Stuart, Kanye West X Adidas Original, Kate Spade

Jason Wu knows how to dress women, and he's dressed about all of them. The black shoes with this white frock just work. His collection was an eclectic mix of work-wear, tailored tops, shimmering details, and white gracefulness. This would be an amazing, unconventional wedding dress. 

When I think Jenny Packham, I think femininity. Pure femininity. Her gowns are so major. A little bohemian inspired, a little surge of 1970's, and a little bit of glitter can take you far, as Jenny Packham shows us. Luxurious and modern, but with a dramatic flair like a black and white movie. That's her in a nutshell to me. Oh another thing about Jenny Packham, her wedding dresses are by far the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I almost got one for my wedding. True story. But oh the money my parents would have had to drop. 

(She dresses Kate Middleton; shut the front door.) 

Cute girls in cute, short dresses with the best shoes. That's Jill Stuart for you. 

Ok, Kanye, I only like these two pieces because you collabed with Adidas. It's hard for me to like you, but that pink number is the bomb. I want all of the tights, but I could go without the "I'm naked, but I'm not" look. Maybe it's too high fashion for me, or  maybe I'm just modest by nature. That oversized t-shirt though. Dreamy. 

And then Kate Spade walks through the door and makes all my wildest dreams come true. Oh Kate Spade. Dear, lovely, adorable, perfect, sporty chic, Kate Spade. Kate Spade makes happiness happen in fashion week. You get invited to her show/presentation and you are the most beloved person. You are the coolest person too. You are the "It" girl person!  I LOVED her collection. It was Upper East Side Gossip Girl infused with sporty casual amazingness, kinda a la J.Crew. It's like Blair Waldorf,  Serena Van der Woodsen, and Cher from Clucless had the most perfect clad in plaid fashion baby. I. Am. All. About. It. 

Where to shop?

I am on the hunt for affordable (and when I say affordable, I don't mean J.Crew 40% off.) I mean affordable and stylish places to buy clothes and shoes and accessories and what not. You get the drill, right? So sound off in the comments if you have anything other than H&M and Forever 21, which I will be mentioning in this post.

So right now, my obsessions have been black sweaters, skinny jeans, sneakers, and booties. And this could be because my feet hate me for wearing this flats that are on my feet right now, today. Here are my picks when it comes to clothes that I just mentioned (and then some.)

1 // H&M is having a killer sale right now. 50% off all sales items, and I have found legit gems on the sales rack. And this could be one of them. Throw this on with everything. Literally everything. Like I'm gonna do it. 

2 // Calling my name. Calling it. 

3 // Okay imagine this with boyfriend jeans ripped just right, the blackest skinny jeans, underneath a perfectly slouchy sweater...or the boucle cardigan that's coming up. 

4 // So this one time I found these in army green at H&M and totally passed them up. That won't happen again. 

5 // Now this is gold. And with that silk blouse. Oh yeah.  

6 // Could this get any better?

7 // Adidas, you had me at "Stan." 

8 // Chelsea boots get me.

9 // Totally tried these on in black as well and it was foot heaven. So comfortable and so cute. Like for real you guys. 

10 // Saved the best for last. THE CREME DE LA CREME! These are so good, even Tyler wants me to get them. And I think I will. 

What are you currently wishing for? Do you find yourself going through style phases? Are you reaching for the same things every time you go get dressed? Here's a little secret, that's TOTALLY okay. Do as the Parisians do, I say. All of those girls have a closet full of t-shirts and jeans and they always look rad. They don't fuss about trends. *sigh* I definitely want to be that way one day. Anyway, hope you enjoyed, make sure to leave your comments below, friends.

P.S. Just thought I should let you know I'm taking a Basics to In-Design class right now so this blog is going to get a revamp and restyle in the future. Maybe it will take the whole semester, but I can't wait.

Stay gold, kiddos.

I like TOMS even if Alex doesn't...

I was talking to a friend today and he was bagging on TOMS, saying how they are the worst shoe to grace the Earth. I haven't owned a pair of TOMS for about a year, but now I've got the TOMS bug again. Even if Alex thinks they are the ugliest, poorly made shoe ever. I wear what I want.

Anyway, here's a wishlist...

I'll start with the "non-shoe" thing because this is basically a wishlist shoe post if you couldn't already tell.

The layers are so lovely! I wish to have impeccable style like this one day. The detail is breath-taking.

TOMS Biminis 

 1 // 2 // 3 

I mostly want the top ones. The light burlap and the coral accents are calling my name.

 

 

Vans CA Hula Print Chukka

My love for Vans grows. These may be a man's shoe, but I would rock them every day.

And last but not least...these beauties. The big cheese of this wishlist! 

Adidas Jeremy Scott Wings Ballet Shoes

Oh they are the most perfect things. I need them. Neeeeeeed. 

I'm ready to put my feet into something summery. Are you? What are you wishing for? Comment below and stay gold!
