Paris Fashion Week breezed by this past week in a flurry of pastels, prints, and floating fabrics (oh and can you believe Marc Jacobs is leaving Louis Vuitton???)
I absolutely adored the intricate embellishments and ethereal gowns at Elie Saab. I also loved the multi-colored trenches at Miu Miu – they would exude such fun pops of color on a spring day! It was fun seeing designs that were versatile and could work with many warmer weather pieces. I would possibly splurge on a printed Miu Miu trench coat, but there are so many great, affordable trench coats now as well. I already have a tuxedo jacket in my closet and am so glad I got it – it surprisingly paris with so many outfits and it is cool to see it continually being re-interpreted each season. Finally, though I was drawn to outerwear, I love a great shirt dress because it can easily be worn with accessories to the office or by itself for a casual weekend date.
I selected a few pieces from top designers that inspire what I’d want in my wardrobe now:
Saint Laurent tuxedo jacket
This is a jacket that is classic and classy
Kelly Wearstler Metropolis Leather lapel tuxedo jacket, Neiman Marcus, $192
Miu Miu bright trench coat
This bright coat will make those cooler days a little warmer
Via Spiga Women’s Maria Stand Collar, Amazon, $125
Stella McCartney shirt dress
I love the ease of a comfortable shirt dress
Pink Tartan cotton seersucker collection, Saks Fith Avenue, $158 (from $395)
i love this!! i’m all about being on trend but w.o breaking the bank! Thanks!
Totally agree with you about your picks, especially the bright trench and the tuxedo jacket. I really like them both and that they are more affordable. That is crazy news about LV too and Marc Jacobs. Big change. 🙂

The pink tartan collection looks really great–I always hesitate to spend a lot of money on white cotton so these pieces look perfect!

I like your recap. It’s so hard to sum up the trends that really matter and we can all acquire!
[…] I love that many pieces are actually easy staple pieces that can be recreated at lower price points, I also love seeing the drama of truly high fashion looks. Chanel created some fascinating tweed […]
