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!

Wish me luck!

Today my sweet roommate Megan decided that she would dare to accompany me (and give me a ride) on my search for the perfect wedding shoe. And so we shall make the journey over the point of the mountain to the closest mall with a J.Crew and a Nordstrom to find the shoes that will grace my toes on December 28th and January 4th. There will be many contenders...but only one will be chosentand with the perfect price point and the most stylish and comfortable fit I (and the shoe) will come out conquerer.

I'm pretty darn proud of that intro people. Let's get to the shoes already!

J.Crew // Leather Bow Ankle Strap Pumps 
These beauties in blush are on sale now for an extra 30 percent off. They aren't online, but who says they aren't in store? Cross your fingers. 

Kate Spade // Krysta Heel
Oh how I wish these weren't as expensive as they are. I am going to try them on anyway, because they are gorrrrrgeous. Plus, don't get me started on that rose gold glitter. My legs won't be showing at my wedding, but now I kind of want them to be. 

Kate Spade // Charm Heels in Navy
Oh dear heavens. These are the dreamiest. One of my colors is navy. Why not wear a statement shoe? The glitter makes the deep hue not as harsh as you think against a champagne/creme colored dress.  

Nordstrom (Half Yearly Sale for Women and Kids ya'll!) // Dawn Pump by Badgley Mischka 
Be still my heart. I die. Guys, these are on sale. These might win. Who knows...I have to try them on. 

P.S. They come in Taupe, but look at them...they are like the most perfect color ever. I can't even. I can't. Be good to be half-yearly, be good to me.

13.  Not a link, but yesterday I realized something...as a soon to be bride, I have gotten caught up in doing things that people expect me to do. Planning a wedding around other people and not myself or Tyler. Yesterday I realized that I really had to stop doing that. I had to stop selling my wedding short. I had to stop worrying about what everyone else thought. I had to stop worrying what everyone thought about my dress and if I changed up my aesthetic a bit. It's my wedding...and I really don't care if you don't like it. Or if you think everyone has my dress or if it's not what I originally wanted. It's my perfectly special day. It's my sealing and that is the most important part. It is going to be perfect and beautiful to me and that is what matters. Is anyone else with me on this?
