NYFW RECAP – S/S 2019

After living in New York City for over five years, I miss the fast pace, the fashion, and the food! I LOVE living in Philly, but when NYFW comes around, I usually try to take advantage of every second. Due to a contract in Jersey, I had to accomplish Fashion Week in just three days! My biggest take aways from Spring/Summer 2019 shows? Three words: color, sequins, and clear vinyl!

Meticulously Eccentric S/S 2019 NYFW Show - NYFW Recap

The bold colors of the 80’s are returning with a vengeance. Daring pinks, purples, blues, greens, and yellows depict a feminine strength as seen in this years Meticulously Eccentric show. These hues mirror last seasons power suites and encourage women to be strong and confident! I supported this theme with an all yellow two-piece outfit by Nasty Gal. I complimented the look with a pair of yellow Nasty Gal shades (similar here), blue Report Ladia Heels, and a clear vinyl bag (similar here).

Custo Barcelona s/s 2019 NYFW Show - NYFW Recap

Sequins and metallic’s are taking over the runway! Unlike the over-use of sparkles in the 80’s, this detailing is modernly designed with sophistication and beautiful craftsmanship. It allows for a feminine touch of elegance, as well as a flirty rebellious feel when added to denim! These designs from the Custo Barcelona Show (as seen above) showcase this concept perfectly. Sleek silhouettes give way to delicate embellishments for dresses, jackets, and even boots. Additionally, he too rocks the bold color statement throughout his line. The Custo Barcelona show was hands down my favorite show this season!

Lastly, clear vinyl and translucent sleeves will be making their mark in the Spring and Summer of 2019. My favorite two examples of this glassy trend were the designs at the Vitruvius Collection at the Nolcha Show’s. They designed incredible structured pieces with a strong, mod architectural flare.

All In the Family

This may look like a normal outfit, but really this ensemble is all about my family. It all started when my bro left for college and left all his shirts. Like any good sister, I went shopping… in his closet! This men’s J. Crew button down is literally one of the most comfortable shirts I own. In the spring and summer it goes with almost every outfit. To make it a little more feminine for summer, I tied it up.

To keep a lightweight feel to look, I added three chain necklaces which are all meaningful. I have lived in many different parts of the USA, so my cousin got me this Pennsylvania chain, from Brooklyn Charm, so I’d never forget where I come from. The faith, hope, and love chain was my Granny’s, and the cross was from my parents. To celebrate an important day in my life, my mother got me the Prism Light ring by Moonstone Magic. You will rarely see me without it on. All together, they make the outfit so special.

Lastly, I paired this outfit with a cool pair of blue slacks from H&M and I added some neutral accents including a belt (featuring a cute belt knot to spice it up), bangles from New York & Co. and tan heels from Target (similar here). It’s a simple outfit with a lot of meaning.

Fun in the Sun

The beach is one of my favorite places to visit. I’m a complete sucker for the sound of the waves and the warmth of the sun. As a redhead, being a beach bum poses a problem. We burn…quickly. So, I before I head down to the shore, I make sure to pack my sunscreen and a cute coverup.

I have been completely entranced with floral’s this summer. When I search for a cover up, I have two requirements: 1) it must be a long sleeve, for extra sun protection, and 2) it MUST be lightweight so I don’t sweat to death. This one from Forever 2 is a light gozzy cotton material that allows air to flow through, so I can enjoy the sun and not get burnt to a crisp! A redheads dream!
