{ fashion week } favorites

as fashion week is coming to a close, i have decided to make a small collaboration of some of my favorite trends that are hitting the scene for the upcoming year.  lets first start with 3.1 phillip lim, whose spring collection i am just obsessing over.  why might you ask?  lets take a peak:

the bright pastels... 

the watercolor prints... 

the clean lines... and the silk trousers!! omg, don't get me started on the silk trousers!! silk has been my go-to fabric with the extremely warm weather and my ten mile long hike to class (until yesterday when temperatures hit rock bottom... at 40 degrees in the morning).  

i also have been crushing on isaac mizrahi's spring inspired looks that includes pretty florals and over the top bows:

how can i manage to work these pieces into my closet?  don't we have a formal or something to go to soon???? (sigh)

last but not least, what about alice+olivia's classy prep looks:

(totally obbbbbsessed with these boots!! in the words of the fashion guru, rachel zoe herself, these are mah-jor!!)

their different prints, textures and colors are just stunning.  i am so happy to see the metallics and sequins returning to the trend for fall along with the rustic oranges and reds (although its not like those ever left.. aka. staple fall colors).  can you also see the hint of fur? what did i tell you...
