Backstage Pass How to Increase Fashion

Well, I left the dwelling house front behind Sat morning and made my way to my start professional gig as a blogger! I was flattered to exist included in Stanford Shopping Middle'south blogger preview for their Fall way upshot, which is called Simon Fashion Now. I won't prevarication and tell you I wasn't totally stressed a fleck about what to wear and more. Though later I met all the lovely beau bloggers and the Simon people I was quite thrilled to be there!

Learning how they run it backstage from Jacque'.

We all loved their stylist's Miu Miu sequin and stud tennis shoes!

Afterwards meeting everyone, we got a special behind the scenes look at the clothes, models and hair and make-up. Nosotros even got to peruse the outfits put together by their stylist, making notes of what we wanted for ourselves and taking pics.

Nosotros all loved this leather wearing apparel from Bloomingdales, which they showed with a white chiffon blouse underneath.

This coat from Rachel Roy was likewise very popular.

Anne Sage of The Metropolis Sage admiring the gold leather pants. And Jessica Ryzenberg, beneath of Ryzenberg On, checking out the racks backstage. Likewise equally being dainty, these ladies have amazing fashion blogs. You lot demand to visit them!

Stylist Erica Sanae beneath also has a terrific site and Rommellyn with photographic camera writes a blog called The Stunning Post.

And hey guess what I got to article of clothing? I'thousand press, baby!! No doing laundry today people.:)

First up we got to see the Blueprint Wars fashion show from The Art Institute of California. It was Project Runway on a small-scale scale. I loved seeing the student creations . There were a lot of very theatrical dresses. The winner was the dress with the total cream skirt and leather top.

The Bloomingdale's rail presentation used many of our favorites from backstage racks. The only affair this testify was defective was some happening music! I seriously love to hear some inspiring tunes during a mode show. The items below all are from Bloomingdales. Some of the Fall/Wintertime trends I noticed on my favorites below..

Principal colors are deepening and paired with similar tones of the same hue. Mixing tones is then right now.

Peplums are nonetheless big.

Furla plastic satchel.

Leggings and layers.

Colored cords seem to have taken the place of colored jeans for Fall and in more muted versions of the primary colors.

Lots of tops and dresses with longer draped backs. Neon colors as a foil with black.

Black mixed with metal tones and leather.

Nosotros loved this J make jacket with leather sleeves. Wearing white jeans year round with wintery sweaters looks chichi and seems to be the matter now.

Booties with dresses and skirts.

Tweeds and Chanel inspired jackets.

Men'southward dress have also seen some brightening. The dusky versions of primary tones look vivid together. It'south a welcome change from the usual blueish and browns.

Not sure if I dearest this mix, but he has a darling smile. My beau bloggers agreed. 🙂

Loved this look on him.

Simon did a swell chore with the fun interactive events. One was Prepare, Set, Mode! Contestants from the audience competed in 2 teams, to style an outfit on a model in a few minutes. Really fun to watch and two of my swain bloggers, Erica and Jessica helped out the stylish gals from the audition.

Running..

The results below. Smashing for a few minutes!

My takeaways from this evidence.. Leather can look pretty equally trim on silky dresses and paired with soft, sheer blouses. Adding a bit to your closet will look current. If you lot want wait smart, yous need a pair of brusk booties to wear with dresses, skinny jeans and leggings, preferably with a wedge. I would as well go a scarf, bag, dress or a standout coat in one of those deep teals, reds, magentas, or mustards that are then fun. To top it off, a tweedy Chanel-inspired jacket to pair with distressed jeans and y'all are set for the flavor. I believe in merely adding a few chichi pieces to your closet is all yous really need to do. You take to pick what yous like and what flatters you.

Thanks to Simon Fashion for a wonderful day and getting local bloggers together. I truly feel so fortunate to have met and so many inspiring and talented new friends.

Did this requite you whatever inspiration for Fall and Winter?

Have a corking week!
