Monday Muse{ings} // NYFW Street Style

Saying that I love fashion week is an understatement. I LOVE LOVE fashion week. Like it is my dream to be there one day. I don't care if I'm a magazine editor. I don't care if I'm a lowly minion sitting all the way in the back. I don't care if I people don't know who I am, I just want to go. I want to analyze the fashion and I want to see the art that these incredible designers have been mastering for the past year. It's a beautiful spectacle. Everything about it is worldly, but everything about it is magical. It's just the best. My favorite part about it though, the street style. I LOVE the street style. So that's what this post is about today. Some of the best street style looks at NYFW. All photos are either from Pinterest or Vogue or Elle or any fashion magazine website ever. I don't own any of them, though I so wish I did.

Stay tuned for a Runway Recap. ;)

1 // A popular look was neutrals with a vibrant accent of color. I love this all grey look with a yellow purse. It says "I'm a functional and fabulous fashion editor that is going to write a bomb yet critical review of all the shows I get to see." P.S. This one is obviously from London Fashion Week but it still counts!

2 // See that pop of orange. *heart eyes* *heart flutter* It was rainy and pretty dreary all week, but that didn't stop the ladies from pulling out their parkas and making it work. You can't see her shoes, but she's wearing sneakers and I just love that. 

3 // The hat! The hat, I say! 

4 // Even if you're not walking the runway, you are walking the streets of New York Fashion Week and those streets might as well be a runway. It's all in the details with this one. From her bag, to her scarf, to her lovely red manicure, to the wind swept mane. To looks fresh, parisian and effortlessly put together. 

5 // Gigi Hadid is all the craze right now. She was flawless in every single one of her shows and she basically is the "it" girl right now and for good reason too. She's not just trendy, but she knows style. She knows it well. Heck, she's probably freezing but she takes a moment to show that she's a fashion force to be reckoned with in that leather jacket of bad-assery. 

6 // At fashion week, especially if you're one of the big gals on campus, you're allowed to wear an oversized orange coat, doc martens and a sweater/cardigan as a scarf. Oh and jeans. Let's not forget the jeans, am I right ladies? Or should I say Leandra? 

7 // My girl Jenna. That. Is. All. 

8 // Her boots may be Stuart Weitzman and her jacket may be Burberry, but her all black look is easy to pull off and a fool-proof guide to your future fashion weeks. 

9 // Caroline de Maigret is my must. I just want to be her. She is the epitome of french je ne sais quoi.  She is THE french girl muse. She is the french girl. Plus, again with the denim and the unique take on the classic stripe. This outfit is telling you that a classic girl must have a camel wool coat and a striped shirt with a blazer for extra style and layering effort (or the lack thereof). 

10 // Winter White! Can we count her pop of color as the cab? Actually, can we really talk about the REAL star of the show, the girl in the background with the plaid coat and fur collar? Um YES! *praise hands* 

11 // Another simple look to pull off that packs a lot of fashion week punch. Sweater dress, check. Leather jacket, check. Black cashmere scarf, check. Black pants, check. White sneakers check! Check, check, check. 

12 // As you can probably tell, I like looks that I could actually wear in real life. This look I would actually wear in real life. 

13 // Get out of here, beautiful fashion model that I wish I could be. When in doubt, all black, all the time. 

14 // Last but not least, everything about this look. The hair. THE HAIR! Of course the camera is all up in her face. This is phenomenal. That orange was everywhere. 

What were some of your favorite fashion week street style looks?

Inspired // I believe in distressed denim, half tucks, and neutral tops

There won't be a Style Profile this week and for that I am very sad. I have two beautiful girls lined up for the coming weeks though so have no fear, the Style Profile is still here. I just had to take a break. I love Style Profile's but they require a lot of work for both parties. Formatting and editing isn't always fun. Plus, let's get real, homework is a real witch with a capital b, amirightladies? So here are some outfits I've been inspired by lately. All pics can be found on my Pinterest boards. 

Question of the day: Should I do a Style Profile? Lemme know. 

1 // I don't even know who this woman is, but I want to be her. She looks so relaxed, so happy with herself, so effortless. 

2 // This outfit is so simple, but it's dynamic. It's put together with some great pieces. If you have basic white sneakers, a grey beanie and a navy merino sweater all you need is the polka dot jeans. It's awesome! 

3 // Mom jeans and a simple white tee are revolutionizing lazy Saturday mornings where you forgot you had to be at brunch with your friends so you hopped out of bed and off you went. 

4 // Because Kimberly Pesch could do no wrong. I aspire to be her layered looks. No, not her. Her layered looks. 

5 // Because I want to incorporate color into my outfits. I have always gravitated towards jeweled maroons and the blushiest pink! Plus, those brogues! LOVE! 

6 // Black and white is such a classic combination that can go from Breakfast with Tiffany's to edgy and street style cool. 

7 // Can we talk about striped shirts and black ripped-at-the-knee jeans? Can we please talk about this combination. #praisehands 

8 // The black jeans don't even need to be ripped. You can just look straight up awesome and artistic and like a fancy architect in black and white combos. Plus the checkered look is always a classic. 

9 // The edgy black-hearted girl I've always wanted to be. 

10 // See what I'm saying about jeans and white t-shirt? Seeeeeeeeeee???

11 // STYLE GOALS! SO MANY STYLE GOALS! When I have children I want to dress like this. Yes, I'll rock white jeans when I have kids. I just want to dress like this my whole life. 

12 // Lastly, a college girl outfit I can roll with. Everyone on campus has white converse, distressed jeans and a pretty button up to wear a sweater over. It's a necessary "we have the same outfit" evil. 

Stay inspired, lovelies! 

Monday Muse{ing} // Miroslava Duma

Another Monday, another muse. Today's muse is Miroslava Duma, the petite former editor of Harpar's Bazaar Russia. This beauty is the queen of street style and you can definitely see why. Just in her late twenties she is a fashion force to be reckoned with. Look, she's one of the most photographed woman in fashion. She's totally down to earth too with her own charity foundation and freelance writing for publications, even one she started herself. How could she not be my muse today?

Monday Musing // The Swoons

Nope the swoons aren't something that you get when you have the flu. I know gross. Why did I even say that?

Here's my definition of the swoons.

That feeling of euphoria and incandescent happiness you get when you see or hear something that speaks to your inner most heart and soul.

Let's swoon.

1 // I have been researching ways to decorate our very small space this Christmas. I mean we barely have room for our mini tree. Honestly, I just need to make the time, but when I saw this sweet and simple wall it didn't seem like a challenge.

2 // I LOVE this chair. I can't stop thinking about it when I think of our future home. I also love the graphic wall in the back.

3 // Stylish Sorel Boots? Yes, please because let's get real...you don't want to wear your leather boots that will completely soak through in the winter.

4 // Instead of brown paper packages, go with green paper packages tied up with fancy yarn and candy cane string. So festive and fresh.

5 // Smashed potatoes. Mmmmm.

6 // This quote. It literally left me speechless the first time I read it on Tumblr.

7 // I can't get over these boots. I also can't get over how they cost more than $400. Yikes.

8 // Because a plaid scarf is almost necessary.

9 // Agh a literal long sweater dress. *swoooooooooon*

10 // This is evil. Oreo butter? Oh yes. A thousand times yes.

11 // Big scarves are so swoon worthy, but big royal blue scarves with fuzzy grey sweaters, ULTRA swoon worthy.

p.s. I would have all sources to the photos, but my computer kept crashing when I tried to upload and then copy and paste the links. I tried like five times and I just said screw it. All photos don't belong to me and the majority of them can be found on Pinterest or Tumblr.
