Highlights of NYFW

My dream is to visit NYC and be front row at NYFW, however, because I can't afford to attend at the moment I am constantly searching the internet for this years event. In my opinion, the Spring collection this year is superb and my favourite designers of 2014 are:

Rebecca Minkoff

COATS! Yes Rebecca Minkoff's Spring 14 collection is filled with boyfriend coats and I love it. Minkoff is one of my fave designers and I love her daily Instagram post of her bags and shoes which I've always wanted. Now I need to get my hands on one of her coats. I think her minimal collection is great and the although people may think grey washes you out, the great jacket is looking great next to the lilac shirt. This is definitely a top spring outfit.


 

Christiano Soriano
The SS14 catwalk for Christiano Soriano is out of this world. This year pastel and patterns are a huge fashion success and Soriano has definitely achieved this. I am loving the bright coloured coordinating suit which I'm sure will look great at a garden party this summer with a glass of Pimms and fruit.The matching mint green crop top and skirt is very 50's. I have spotted similar skirts in magazines such as look and I can see it being one of my first Spring purchases. It's my 18th Birthday next month and I was unsure of a party outfit until now. Soriano's white coordinating piece is my inspiration for my 18th number (without the jacket). Finally, the dress, WOW! It's amazing, I love the detail and patterns and there this no doubt that this stole the show.



 

Marc Jacobs
This designer had many famous faces in his show including Model of the Year 2012, Cara Delevingne, Sky Ferreira and Kendall Jenner. However, I was disappointed by his collection this year, maybe it's just not my style.

Pre- Spring Clean

 
 My bedroom needed a serious clean this week and I found a lot of clothes, shoes and make up I had forgot about. This photograph is showing the "evolution" of my lipsticks and I counted 10 lipstick that I have been collecting over the years and I still wear them all, I'm obsessed with lipstick. Also, each lipstick is a reasonable price, the most expensive is Bare Minerals Live It Up is the most expensive at £16 and MAC Viva Glam I and Rebel at £15. However, they are definitely worth it! These lipsticks on all day and when out or at parties they only need to be applied once or twice. Other favourite lipsticks of mine are the Rimmel Lasting Finish lipsticks by Kate Moss, colours 001 and 005, these suit my skin tone as it slightly olive tinted, especially hot pink. Unfortunately, these lipsticks have been discontinued so I save them for special occasions.
 
 Also, I have a ridiculous amount of shoes and they are literally turning into a mountain in my room. Out of the 30 pairs of shoes, 6 pairs are heels. I love heels, every time I am shoe shopping I am always browsing the heels section. My next shoe buy is definitely a pair of holographic heels but the pair I have imagined are so difficult to find. If I could, I would wear heels to college but I'm not that adventurous so maybe I'll wait till Uni. I have a pair of heeled loafers which I bought back in 2010 and finally, they are back in fashion! This spring I will never have these off my feet.

 
Already, I have my eyes set on other lipstick. I want a coral colour lipstick ready for the summer and my holiday but I'm unsure of which make up brand to chose. I am loving the MAC- So Chaud, I am always buy MAC recently because I think the lipsticks have a creamy, soft texture and the colour always stays (well when I'm not always stuffing my face). But, I would like to try Revlon- Rendezvous because I have never bought a lip stain or lip crayon and I am loving the colour. Any ideas? Do I stay safe with MAC or try something new with Revlon?
