The Looks I’d Wear | Pre-Fall 2014 Designer Collections

by smichelleUpdated on

I needed a fashion juice-up and decided to flip through some of the Pre-Fall collections on Style.com. I found that black and white continued to be important colors for this time period, along with soft to bold shades of blue and burgundy. I normally just give a show review, but today, I thought I’d challenge myself to select 3-4 looks that could make it to my closet from each collection. It’s easy to pick favorite looks from designers you love, the challenge is selecting from designers that aren’t at the top of your list. [In doing this I found myself adding quite a few new favorites!] Check out my 1st round of selections below and let me know who you like!

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week | My NYC Weekend Recap

by smichelleUpdated on

I recently attended the Spring 14′ NY Mercedes Benz Fashion Week! I was only in NY for a weekend and man did I have an experience of a lifetime! Everything happened in the moment! I got to see several shows, meet celebrities and fashion icons, interviewed Tracy Reese and her lead make-up and hair team, was highlighted on essence.com for great street style, and best of all, I got to meet Diane Von Furstenberg – my fashion idol! Here is a brief photo recap of my fashion week experience – –

About to land in the concrete jungle! – NYC

The taxi ride to the Lincoln Center… Stank!! Phew!

I only took a picture of these guys because everyone else was…figured they might be important. Didn’t want to miss out…haha

Stopped by the Styled to Rock booth to look tough….and stylish!

Ran into a familiar face from back home! Hey Mike!

3rd row back, I was sitting right in front of June Ambrose, her daughter Summer, and Mrs. J from ANTM! Waiting for the Son Jung Wan Spr 14′ show to begin.

After the show I snapped a photo with June Ambrose!

On the way to another show, I ran into Selita Ebanks, she was so sweet!

Day 2: Caught by Street Style photographer Kamel Lahmadi of StyleandtheCity.com!

Headed into the Lela Rose show – here we go!

Quick selfie with Brittany Snow! Her outfit was “Pitch perfect!”

The collection was inspired by Cuba…this was a great addition to the gift bag

Live drummers played as the models sashed down the runway!

Backstage Tracy Reese, hair and make-up prep

Interviewed Lead Make-up Artist – Mally Roncal. She was so full of energy, I loved it!

Interviewed Tracy Reese on her inspiration for the collection while she was getting her nails done! She is so inspiring! Love her!

It was great to see how the show was put together before it hit the runway! Tracy Reese is extremely talented! Loved the collection!

At the Papyrus station and had fashion illustrator Bella Pilar autograph a copy of her specialty cards!

Snapped a photo with Kenya Moore after the show! My heels had came off for this shot, they needed a break! ha

Loved the music playing, so, I went to go see who the DJ was! Another random place I managed to get into haha

This was the standby line to get into the DVF show….crazy!

I didn’t get to see the show… but this was so much better!! I got to meet Diane Von Furstenberg herself! My fashion icon! I was really excited, I don’t think I was breathing in this picture! ha

Featured on Essence.com for great street style in my FLOW by Tara Davis jumpsuit!

I’ve Got the Blues! | D-Denim-D-Dunt

by smichelleUpdated on

“Well if Momma wants to please me, she’s only got to JEAN me! I got the BLUES!”

Get ready to get BLUE this season as denim makes its way into more than just bottoms!

Designers are not only updating the treatment of denim washes, but they are also utilizing the fabric in outerwear, tops, and accessories!

Below are a few trends rolling into men’s and women’s closets this season. Check them out!

1. Denim Outerwear: Whether a denim jacket or denim vest you need one….so get one!

2. Shredded Denim: Church isn’t the only place you have to go to be holy! Whether you buy your denim ripped or designate a Sunday afternoon to DIY with friends, destructed jeans are back in style! CHUCH!

3. Patchwork Denim: Rocked your jeans torn for a while and need a change? Patch them up! You will soon be wearing a trend seen on jeans, tops and bags! “Patch it up yall, I’m about to!”

4. Denim Footwear: Now you can actually say you are wearing denim “head-to-toe” and mean it! Denim has made its way down the body line to adorn our feet…mmm and when it’s a red bottom… it don’t get mo’ betta’ then that!

5. Denim Shirts: Also known as “Chambray” (Yes, you can say it with a French accent) is a lightweight denim that is great on its own AND as a layering piece! They come in all types of washes and styles… act like the DOW and INVEST!

These are just a few of the many ways that denim is morphing into new and updated concepts. Extreme washes, waxed, and dipped ombre are a few of the other new denim treatments you’ll see on the sales floor this season.

So get out to your local mall or boutique! Re-read this blog post, pull out your harmonica, and feeeeeeel the BLUES!!

Please, Have a Mint or Two..

The mint color way isn’t just for the ladies this season, it has also made its way to the male color palette! As a small pop on shoe laces, full blazers or mirror tees, there are no excuses as to why you can’t try this trend! So go ahead, pop some mint on your body AND a mint in your mouth…Voila! You are PHRESH!! (ta def)
