NYFW Runway Recap // Badgley Mischka, Banana Republic, Band of Outsiders

Here we are! Another recap! This is going to take forever, because I loved so many things. So next year, I'm definitely going to force myself to narrow it all down, because this is cray. BUT EVERYTHING IS SO BEAUTIFUL! Oh the inner torment.

As always, photos are from here. I do not own any of them.

I'm a huge Badgley Mischka shoe fan, but they have really become a full force all-around fashion label so I couldn't help but mention this gorgeous read trench and the embellished top. This would be totally be acceptable to wear whenever. The entire collection screams class and refinement and "I'm a very wealthy woman so don't get in my way." Black and red really were popular colors this fashion week. 

Can we please take a moment to talk about Banana Republic? Hello, hey, hi there, Banana, we missed you! You CAN sit with us. Like where did this come from? Banana Republic is known for their fashionable office wear for middle-aged women but their styles are fresh and look beautiful on just about everyone. The collection definitely had a "J.Crew" vibe and silouhette with some Madewell mixed in there, and even though to some it might seem like some little cry for help, it works. It totally works. Gap has been struggling making sales, but I really feel like Banana Republic is making a come back and this aesthetic could carry over to the Gap. Bring on the casual cool look! And bring on that plaid coat! Bring on all of it. 

Band of Outsiders is the label I would wear (1) if I had more money (2) if I could adopt a Scandinavian physique and (3) if I had blonde hair. Okay so reason number one, if I had more money...WAAAY more money to spend on clothes I would definitely buy band of outsiders. Though I'm not a fan of the big buckles, I am a fan of that Swedish Ikea look. You feel it? It's slightly boyish, and I love that. Boyish ain't bad.

Next time: Carolina Herrara, Christian Siriano, Elizabeth and James and DRUMROLL PLEASE.................J.CREW!! Sheesh this is gonna be long. But I don't care!

NYFW 2015 Recap // 3.1 Philip Lim, Alexander Wang, alice + olivia, Anna Sui

Do I love fashion week? Yes I do.

Are there so many runway looks that I loved that I couldn't possible narrow them down to 13 or even 20? Yes.

Am I doing an alphabetical order recap? Of course.

If you don't like Fashion Week. I suggest that you don't read the blog for the rest of the week. Just saying.

Let's get to it!

Psst. All photos courtesy of HERE! I don't own any of these.

3.1 Philip Lim was all about moody reds, grey and black. Plaid, leather, fur and military details made their way on every girl that walked the runway. The girls wore minimal makeup with a striking red lip. I love the shoes in these two outfits. I didn't feature a bomber jacket, but the bomber made it's appearance in this show as well. I like Philip Lim's work because it's the perfect mix of feminity, laid back ease, and strokes of masculine detail in the shoes, pants or overcoat. 

Now I'm the curmudgeon that wasn't feeling Alexander Wang this year. It was too intense for me. I'm sorry. I know. I'm a fashion loser if I can't appreciate the coolest designer right now. Really though. So intense. This outfit stuck out though. The palette was similar to Philip Lim, but black was the shining star. The colors were practically the same really. This collection was Paris meets rocker grunge. Everything is edgy and looks like it was perfectly, yet haphazardly put together and that's what makes Alexander Wang, Alexander Wang. Can you believe he is a Parson drop out? 

alice + olivia has been a long time favorite. The pattern play in this collection is luxurious. The dresses were my favorite part and leave it to the brand to create the best skirt of all time. That fringe! Be still my beating heart.

If you're looking for Bohemian glamour, you're looking in the right place at Anna Sui. Can't you just see that white dress on Gigi at the original Woodstock or a clean and whimsical Coachella. Or the celebrity part of Coachella?! Haha. The patterns. The long cardigan. Bohemian isn't my look, but Anna Sui could convince me.

Ok that's it for the recap today! Stay tuned for Badly Mischka, Banana Republic, and Band of Outsiders next.
