There were so many eye-catching trends during Milan Fashion Week. One of my favorites was the high waisted belt trend popping up on every runway. Fendi, Marni, and Versace are a few examples.

LFW Sequin Trends F/W '18
Sequins were trending during this London Fashion Week. Designers like Toga, Erdem, and Temperley were strutting this look. Anyone wearing these pieces is sure to turn heads.

Paris Fashion Week Bling
Now that the dust has settled on that certain Paris heist, lets talk about the real bling seen on the runways -- metallic! Seriously, who doesn’t like a bit (or a lot!) of sparkle to spice up their wardrobe? Metallic adds dimension to every outfit and the best part is that it becomes the main focal point, and therefore, your key accessory as well. The Paris runway shows were draped in metallic, here are my favorite looks...
Milan Fashion Week - Better Late than Never!
Outwear is not just for the cooler months, it is a fashion essential for upgrading your wardrobe during all seasons - so I loved seeing Milan Fashion Week runways covered in classic outerwear pieces, but with an edge added! For example Versace took the classic leather jacket silhouette and twisted it into a color block leather jacket that amps up any outfit. Taking a classic item and adding a little something extra to it can really personalize your style. Here are some of my favorite looks:

Flower Mania!
“Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking,” this quote from Miranda Priestly on the Devil Wears Prada couldn’t be more wrong. Although not groundbreaking, florals are a trend that have become a classic and don’t appear to be going anywhere soon. Floral motifs adorned almost every runway during London Fashion Week. Here are a variety of different ways to incorporate flowers into your spring wardrobe and break you out of your winter slump of bulky layers.
Bold is the New Black
Sunday night marked the 68th Emmy’s award ceremony and there was no shortage of brightly dressed stars. I can’t think of a better way to end NYFW than have award season fail right behind. Let’s be honest, the Red Carpet is the best part of any award show and the Emmy’s Red Carpet is no exception. Here are my picks for the best (and boldest) dressed:
Top Row: Viola Davis - Marchesa, Sarah Paulson - Prada, Priyanka Chopra - Jason Wu, Amanda Peet - Altuzarra
Bottom Row: Emily Ratajkowski - Zac Posen, Angela Bassett - Christian Siriano, Constance Zimmer - Monique Lhuillier, Terrence Howard - Isaia

SUMMER FAVORITES 2016
Summer is the time to liven up your wardrobe by taking advantage of the beautiful colors and patterns! It is important to push your boundaries a bit by adding elements that make you stand out - especially those of you whom revert to the same old neutrals in your wardrobe.
And while the summer months seem to be drawing to a close the heat isn't going anywhere soon! With that being said, I wanted to recap some of my summer favorites, from sunglasses to sandals, and give you a guide to follow when pondering what to wear through Labor Day Weekend.
Speaking of LDW, I will be lounging at Gurney's in Montauk Friday, 9/2 - Tuesday, 9/6, and am available to book time styling looks, accessorizing outfits and to help with any fashion emergencies.
SUNGLASSES
CHLOE, $395
PRISM, $340
On the left are Chloé's 'Isidora' sunglasses in rose gold. The brown degradé lenses are transparent enough to showcase the eyes while shading them as well. PRISM's Venice sunglasses, on the right, are inspired by the 50's cat-eye shape with a multi-colored pattern accentuating the acetate frames. This shape is most complimentary on a round face.
SWIMWEAR
ERES, $520
MISSONI, $530
I have always been a fan of Eres swimwear and lingerie as their fabrics and silhouettes flatter the body in the classiest of ways. This beautiful hunter green in particular would be stunning on any skin tone. And Missoni's two-piece on the right is the perfect summer bikini. The colors within the chevron pattern in the crochet-knit fabric give off a classic bohemian feel that I love.
COVER-UPS
ELAN, $54
LA PERLA, $828
You can find this flirty crochet cover-up on Nordstrom.com for an extremely affordable price, in both black and cream. I personally love the mix of textures and how it will showcase any swimsuit underneath. The La Perla satin cover-up in an optical print and color-blocked handkerchief hem creates a sophisticated look that can easily be carried into sunset cocktails at the beach bar.
summer dresses
ZIMMERMAN, $740
FREE PEOPLE, $248
Zimmerman's 'Roza' dress is the perfect white summer dress. Pair with sandals or wedges in neutral tones and natural hair to create an effortlessly relaxed look. The gorgeous floral printed dress is from Free People. Its over sized silhouette makes it the perfect dress to throw on with sandals and walk out the door. This dress can easily be carried into the fall season because of its darker tones.
sandals
PRADA, $875
RACHEL COMEY, $247
These Prada block heeled sandals are the quintessential "Laura shoe". The gold hardware and crisscrossing solid black leather make them a classic staple for any wardrobe. On the contrary, the stunning yellow and black croc-embossed leather of these Rachel Comey rounded heel sandals will automatically amplify any outfit -- including a solid summer dress.
