Inspected Trend: Blue Black

Inspected Trend from the Pre-Fall 2015 Collection: KLS Kimora Lee Simmons, Milly, Versace 

I'm not going to sugar coat this, but blue/black is my favorite color combination. It was a pleasant surprise seeing this combo quite a few times during the pre-Fall 2015 collections. Whether it's a cobalt blue or navy blue this is a classic and intuitive pairing that make it's easy head to the office or out on the town.

Back to Basics: Fisherman Sweater

Back to Basics: Fisherman Sweater

If you didn't know, there's a back story on the very popular fisherman sweater. People have been getting cozy in their fisherman sweaters for years and this style is definitely a staple during the Winter season. The fisherman sweater also known as the Aran sweater is noticeable because of the multiple cable and stitch patterns. Some say that the fisherman sweater originated on the Aran Island and the unique stitches was used to distinguished fishermen's bodies that was found at sea. However one of the main functionality that has remain constant throughout the history, is to keep you warm. While the temps continue to drop, I found some fisherman sweaters that will keep you toasty and comfy for the rest of the season.

I love it when a belt can cinched anything together. During the Spring '15 shows, brands as BCBG Max Azria belted a long caftan dress which gave a slight emphasis on the waist. While Marni and Edun opted for a more thicker obi belt style. Needless to say, this trend shows a creative way to wrap a belt around the waist.
