pfw: my top 7 shows

Its time to round out the the fashion week frenzy with Paris Fashion Week. Fashion's heavy hitters came out at PFW and they certainly did not disappoint. Also, I should point out that I totally stopped trying to chose just two of my favorites from each collection, it was just impossible. Check out my top 7 shows from the City of Light! ♥,whit

1. Chanel

At first these eyebrows really freaked me out. But then I was like, "I'm into this." If life in the future means life on another planet, good to know we're wearing Chanel.

2.Chloé

As a girl who loves fashion and lives in Seattle, I'm all about rad sweaters and beautiful coats. Fresh and so so chic, the effortlessly cool Chloé girl is the girl I want to be! Or the one I want to steal from. 

3.Valentino

Hands down my favorite collection at PFW. I loved these boho/folk art dresses, and that Valenitno red scalloped gown!? Please.

4.Ellie Saab

You guys, these dresses! Right!? Red carpet time for real.

5. Carven

Designer Guillaume Henry took his inspiration from the Middle Ages, which made for quirky prints and a bold color palate. I thought it was so fun and so wearable!

6. Alexander McQueen

 Yes yes yes! Beautiful and optimistic, Sarah Burton's futuristic vision was nothing short of stunning. 

7. Yves Saint Laurent

This collection was dark but absolutely stunning. I loved the calla lily (flower typically found at funerals and cemeteries) prints, perhaps a note of symbolism for Stefano Pilati's final show.

mfw: my top 5 collections

Milan Fashion Week wrapped a few weeks ago, so my apologies for posting my favorites a tad late. The collections shown at MFW had everything from metal details, bold colors and quirky prints on top of more quirky prints! So many exciting collections to look through, but in the end I managed to narrow it down to just 5 favorites. Enjoy! ♥, whit.

1. Dolce & Gabbana

Over the top, romantic, glamorous. Plus, ending the show with an army of pretty pretty black and gold lace dresses?! LOVED.

2. Jill Sander

I loved how soft, sweet and feminine this collection was. What a bitter sweet moment for Raf Simon's last show for Jill Sander.


3. Marni

Love floral. Love prints. This was a no-brainer. 


4. Max Mara

This collection was a modern take on everything from WWII, the Newsies, nerdy chic and the swingin' 60's. Somehow, all these themes came together for a minimalistic, effortlessly chic collection.


5. Alberta Ferretti

The structured coats and leather detail were subtly chic and totally wearable. But, not surprisingly, it was Ferretti's gowns that stole the show.The dresses were stunning and the bold color choice was perfection. I couldn't chose just two favorites! Bravo!
