My Current Obsession: Blumarine

During Milan Fashion Week, Blumarine, an Italian clothing company established in 1977 by Anna Molinari and husband Gianpaolo Tarabini, stunned the runway with their Spring/Summer 2015 collection. The collection featured a number of beautiful gowns with floral details. Minimal makeup and simple hair allowed the dresses to shine on the runway. Here are some of the highlights of the collection and check out the rest of the looks here.

Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2015

So I think it’s arguably the most exciting time of the year, New York Fashion Week. Extending from September 4th until September 11th, over eighty designers hailing from 12 different countries (Brazil, China, France, India, and Korea to name a few) all come together to show their creations and predictions for the Spring/Summer 2015 season.

With the power of social media, it’s suuuuper easy to see all the moments surrounding each and every fashion show from numerous points of view. To keep in touch with all the action, here are some highly recommended Instagram accounts to follow:
