New York Fashion Week-Runway

With New York Fashion Week already rolling, and numerous fashion shows already presented and many more on their way, I took the time to really soak in the collections, setting aside the hype and the glamour of this wonderful week. One of the biggest surprise for me was Tommy Hilfiger's collection, I think I refound my youthful love for this brand with this collection. I've always known that they have an athletic touch to their clothes, but I just love the wetsuit inspired pieces, with such a laid back, no fuss beach style with really strong colors, and not to mention that the sandy boardwalk was such a nice unexpected setting for the city. I've seen other wetsuit inspired pieces that I really wouldn't wear, but these pieces have enough of a wetsuit sense, but really stylish.

Another collection where I could literally pick things off the runway and add them to my everyday wardrobe would be BCBG Max Azria's. I loved the pale colors, long and loose aesthetic of their clothes; this collection is really stylish, but with a "I just threw this on" vibe. It's really inspiring seeing runway collections that manage to be fashion forward and really wearable at the same time. Something that I try to infuse to my own style is not over thinking about what I'm wearing, because it does translate, and this collection is the epitome of this.

With Peter Som's collection I came to the conclusion that I'm really leaning toward that easy vibe style. This collection was also inspired by that beachy-surfer vibe, and probably, being an Island girl myself I'm naturally drawn to this, but this collection manages to mix prints and modern touches without loosing the essence which inspired it. There are still many other collections to look at, so I'll be posting more insights of the collections I like! Hope you like this post!

Pom Poms & Colors

Keeping in tune with yesterday's line of thought of trying not to melt, today I sported a short dress, which I usually wear as a cover up, but opted to match with shorts for today. Summer dresses are always fun, you can choose them either really sophisticated or with a slightly bohemian/surfer flair. I decided on the belt to add some structure to the dress, it's like a sack inspired dress and for the beach it's perfect, but I wanted something more for today. I know I've said it like a million times, but neutral tone shoes are a great way to elongate the figure and when your pretty short, that's a super important must! The necklaces were the finishing touch in this look, they added a fun, different texture and a lot of color, and the bag is my favorite thing right now, so obsessed with the shape and neon trimmings! Hope you like this look!

Summer Essentials

Every time sumer comes around I immediately think I need a new swimsuit, I try to analyze the situation and make it seem a logical suggestion since I do wear them all year round... This here would be my ideal summer outfit for a nice day at the beach and walking around. I have such a soft spot for beautiful printed bikinis that this Zimmermann swimsuit would be a dream to own. When it comes to coverups I love wearing comfortable and loose, this Billabong poncho is the perfect option, besides that I'm seriously obsessed with ponchos, it's great that you get to cover up, but still show your bikini while rocking a surfer chic style. These oversized Karen Walker cat-eye shades are great way to avoid the sun and they're plastic so the salt water won't ruin them and they have an ideal color. I'm all about fringe and tassels right now, so these Zara sandals and this Tory Burch bag are perfect accessories for the summer in general and they have a killer boho/surfer chic style going for them. Finally, I'm not one to necessarily stock up on jewelry when I'm going to the beach so a simple long necklace is more than enough in my eyes, this Ippolita one is a great example. Can't wait for long summer days at the beach... What are your  plans for this summer?
