NYFW Street Style

Noticing a lot of paired back looks at New York Fashion Week. Lots seem to be wearing t-shirts and a lot of bare legs in shorts. But of course, it wouldn't be fashion week without everyone still bearing the 14 hour days in heels.

Kate Spade Accessories @ NYFW

I am a lover of Kate Spade accessories. My very first purchase was a pair of citrus patent bow peep tie flat ballets & I live wearing them every time. Sometimes Kate Spade can be a little too extreme quirky but if you edit the collection you can find some real gems that add a little something extra to your outfit.

Visit www.katespade.com but to buy David Jones stocks a selection of shoes & accessories otherwise try a shipping company in the USA to ship to AUS for you.

For The Boys: Menswear Suiting Trends

Over the week of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival, I have identified a few key trends for the men. Pinks of blush and baby pink tones were evident along with a coral peach colour making this the colour of spring summer. Classic men should be a little more adventurous and go for a sleek navy suit, and for those who are a bit on the wild side a patterned jacket is a must try.

New favourite menswear designer is Wil Valour who brings something new and exciting to menswear through his use of colour, prints and fabrications.

EP by Easton Pearson Spring Summer 2012 Collection

Easton Pearson launched their diffusion label EP by Easton Pearson back in 2009 however in the last 12months after debuting the collection on the runway at MBFF 2011 and gaining national press now it is fully on consumer's minds. After opening its little store last year in Winn Lane, Fortitude Valley, it is proving to be a cute, fun label for the young. A mix of colour in mainly lolly pink, lime green, bright blue and orange with printed shirts, peplums and above the knee skirts. The key trend was striped colour both in the print design and also in piped detailing on tops and hemlines.
