NYFW S/S 2020 Trendspotting

This September fashion week was go-go-go with shows, meetings and lots of trendspotting which we are getting into now! So if you are here for the fashion, this post is for you!

Mommy + Me Outfits

This trend actually made an appearance at a few of the shows I attended, but my favorites were by KavenLiu DIMOR presented at the NOLCHA shows. Each piece just matched seamlessly and was both stylish and age-appropriate for child and mom which I love! – Usually one looks off. Amazing job on this entire collection!

Vacation Ready With SaraBoo

Since my collaboration with SaraBoo, I seriously cannot stop wearing these pieces! Every item fits beautifully and the quality is really great for the price. This particular piece is a tropical print romper. The material is very thin, perfect for summer and secures with a back zipper and neck tie. Everything about the fit and print screams summer fun! If you are in the market for great vacation wear then look no further than SaraBoo.

I absolutely love the sleeve length and short style of this romper. There are subtle embroidered features and pleat detailing that really make this piece a show stopper. It is a one and done ensemble, where all you need is accessories to finish it off, perfect for packing!

I decided to pair this piece with my signature straw fedora, Baublebar, Elaine Turner, and Kendra Scott gold-tone layering necklaces, this fun orange clutch from Henri Bendel, (similar) and bold mirrored sunnies from Sam Moon.

I wore this ensemble to a fun day of shopping at Silver Street Studios followed by a party at Elaine Turner and was able to stay comfortable and cute all day!

If you are looking for stand out summer garments, especially for travel, check out SaraBoo!

Anything But – Mellow, “Hello Yellow!”

Okay guys, I’ve got to be honest here, I have never been a fan of wearing the color yellow. It just isn’t something that jumps out at me. Don’t get me wrong, as a color it is great! So sunny and cheery. But when it comes to apparel I am just not attracted to it… that is, until now!

Something has changed for me when it comes to yellow. I am really liking the shades of that have been popping up this season and how flattering they are with even the palest of skin tones!

A perfect example, is this dress is from The White Wolf Boutique. The yellow is perfect and sleeve detail is so delicate and gorgeous! I selected this dress in a size medium and was very pleased with the fit. The small would have also fit me, but in this particular style, I was looking for a more relaxed fit. The White Wolf Boutique offers beautiful casual appeal of great quality and price! Check them out for great all weekend tops and accessories.

To style this look I decided to pair it with wedges from Target, delicate layering necklaces from Elaine Turner, and Kendra Scott, and a fun cheetah print wallet for Juicy Couture.

Yellow is really great for pairing with gold tone accessories, cheetah print or even turquoise!

So cheers to yellow, and trying new color palettes this season!

All Day Rompers for SaraBoo

I love getting my hands on a great romper. These one-piece items are really amazing because they can create a stylish look without all of the added layers. If you are like me, and live in a very warm climate, rompers truly are your best friend! I recently had the opportunity to partner with SaraBoo, a Brazilian Boutique offering fashionable pieces to make you feel your absolute best!

One of the pieces I selected was this incredible romper. From the front keyhole accent, gorgeous print and skirt hem, this romper has it all! The fit is perfect as is the length, even for taller girls! I enjoy pairing this piece with glam sandals and sunnies like these Olivia Miller sandals from Stage, and metallic geo sunglasses from Mirina Collections.

I selected this romper in a size medium and it fits just as described. I would say order true to size from SaraBoo. Check out their site for amazing finds for vacation wear, night out clothing and even wear-to-work! Better yet, use code RED20 to get an additional % off your order! Happy shopping!

The Urban Explorer

So this top has become one of my total favorites! The lightweight chambray highlighted with embroidery and a tie front make this top perfect for this summers’ trends!

Here I have paired it with black high-waisted shorts and fringe ankle booties for the perfect look to explore the city!

Flowing Wrap Dresses and Early Arrival of Fall Palettes

This summer has been really fun when it comes to color palettes. Traditional fall shades and textures have been re-purposed into summer silhouettes! These shades and designs lend a 70’s feel and I’m loving it!

I picked this gorgeous wrap dress up from Shein.com a fast fashion website featuring the latest trends at amazing prices. This dress was $34.00 and worth every penny. The material is heavy so that it holds its shape accordingly. The faux wrap design is accented perfectly with the sash tie waist and side slit accent. The print is so fun and really makes this piece an eye-catcher! I recently wore this piece to the Pop Shop Houston event at Silver Street Studios and received so many compliments! You can dress this piece up or wear it casual with sandals as I did, the options are limitless!

I purchased this dress in a size M, but definitely think the S would have fit perfectly. The M fits a tad big on me, but it isn’t too bad. I would say order true to size on this piece.

 

Bold & Bright Accessories

Since it gets pretty hot here in Houston, my summertime wardrobe generally consists of shorts. Because of that, I like to find creative ways to spice up my ensemble with sparkling and fun accessories that maybe wouldn’t normally be paired with shorts. Enter this over the top large and in charge statement necklace from Mirina Collections. I had the opportunity to try out their brand and selected two pieces from their collection. This one is by far my favorite! Pairing such an eye catching piece with shorts, and a solid top really changes the feel of the look.

For added fun and sun protection I paired this look with my current favorite grey faux suede hat, and to coordinate with the texture and shade, I am wearing these on-trend mules by Kensie from Stage. This style of shoe is super comfortable and gives any look a little 90’s throwback.

By adding these accessories to my look an otherwise simple top and classic pair of shorts is transformed into a trendy ensemble that demands attention.

What I’m Wearing

The top I have on is from Romwe. I am actually really pleased with the quality of the piece. The design is well crafted and the fit is on point. This top is only available in one size so I am sure it will fit everyone a little differently, but I do like how it fits!

For bottoms, I am wearing high waisted shorts from Shein. These are currently my favorite pair of shorts! They are super flattering and I can pair them perfectly with my cropped shirts for a modestly trendy look.

My top was only $9.99 and the shorts were just $15.00 so if you are on a summer budget, these pieces are definitely worth ordering as they are transitional and can easily pair with other pieces in your wardrobe!

The Perfect Work-to-Weekend Top

I find myself on the hunt a lot for work transitional tops. Tops that I can wear with shorts on the weekends, but also style up for work. I luckily found this amazing piece recently from Romwe that fit the bill! This lovely olive babydoll top has such a cute oversized style to it! There are just so many fun ways to style this top and look amazing! – Here I will share with you my favorite.

The best way to wear this top is with skinnies, heels, and a long necklace. I decided dark wash denim would be ideal since the shade of olive is on the lighter side, (which can tend to appear more casual) and cognac accessories to bring the look into Summer.

These woven block heel sandals from Madden Girl are so adorable! I have been wearing them on repeat for their style ability, as well as, their comfort factor! Everyone needs them in their wardrobe this season! I also chose a similar shade tote to coordinate this look.

To sum this up, it is fun to purchase basics in new and interested silhouettes because the are super transitional! This shirt has an everyday t-shirt material, but because of the fun hem and oversized design, it is perfect for dressing up and saying fashionable at the office! (if you work where there is a business casual setting, like I do!)

So check out this awesome top at Romwe! Its only $14.99 so I’m sure it will sell out fast!
