Fashion Friday

For today’s Fashion Friday, I’m bringing you another Fashcap.

That’s a Wrap for Fashion Month

Fashion Month came to a close on Wednesday, and the trends we saw in NY, London and Milan held true.

Fall/Winter 2021 will include giant handbags, layers upon layers, menswear pieces and neutral color palettes.

Paris Fashion Week included a lot of subdued collections – several with an entirely black palette.  I wasn’t a huge fan of Paris, but did love Louis Vuitton and Jil Sander’s collections.

The head-scratching moment came with Matthew Williams’ collection for Givenchy.  I predict his tenure with the house will be short-lived.  Compare Clare Waight Keller’s Givenchy to Williams – WOW.

Personalized Jewelry

I had a fabulous Instagram Live discussion with Vocabulary boutique about the role jewelry plays in our style journeys.  Featuring one of my long-time favorite designers, Thatch, we chatted about how jewelry makes us feel connected.

You can watch it here.

I’m building a charm necklace and adore the process of picking out meaningful treasures to add to a beautiful piece I’ll have forever.

Simone Rocha x H&M

This designer collab launched on March 11 and about half of it is still available.  Sizing is limited, but if you had your heart set on this collection, there is still time.

I didn’t buy anything.  While I adore Simone Rocha, I felt like the price point was still a little high and the pieces, albeit beautiful, weren’t very wearable.  I love a sheer embroidered dress but how often will you really wear something like that?

What I’m Coveting

What I'm CovetingI’ve been on the hunt for some refreshed basics and found some gems I wanted to share.

Here’s what’s in my cart right now.

Washed denim hat – I own this hat in khaki and love it.  It now comes in light denim and black.  If you have a small head, definitely get this hat.

Two-tone sunglasses – these sunnies look so chic on.  At $59, they’re a great designer look for less.

Gladiator sandals – last summer I wrote about flatforms. I tried a few different pairs, but none achieved the Prada look I wanted.  When I saw these, I had to have them.  They are the perfect combo of edgy and chic.

Heart locket necklace – I’m loving chunky gold jewelry that has a hint of nostalgia. Love the style and price point of this necklace.

Balloon sleeve top – this is washable, a great neutral color, comfortable and brings your overall look up a notch.  Sold.

Skinny jeans – I scored these jeans for $44 and they are AMAZING.  I want more colors and love the vintage look of this wash.  Bonus points: they’re $98.

Gold ring – this designer has the chicest pieces for great prices.  I love this thick swirl ring.

Fragrance discovery set – I recently ordered a discovery scent from this brand (one of my faves).  Rather than have multiple big bottles of perfume, this is a great way to change up your scent without spending a ton of money.
