BCBG Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on September 11, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

My love affair of all things BCBG started when I was in high school. I longed for the life that would grant me the opportunities to wear Max Azria’s clothes. For my senior prom I bought my first BCBG piece. A black and blue dress with sequins and beads sewn into starburst patterns. It was magical. I still have it and even though it’s been over 10 years since I wore it, I can still fit into it. Therefore, I shall keep it.

Back to the Spring collection. Its just as lovely as my senior prom dress: watercolor prints and washed out neutrals. It’s the epitome of city sophisticate. It’s all very effortlessly chic and hassle-free glam.

Zimmermann Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on September 10, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

Um, can you say Sexy Bombshell? Cause, that’s what everyone will be saying when you walk by in any of these looks. The dresses…the pants outfits… the ~~unitards~~ bodysuits for crying out loud! Who would’ve thought I’d be ready to don a bodysuit again. I used to love them when I was in 4th grade. I went through a luxe, baroque phase where everything I owned was crushed velvet, jewel-toned, and needed to be worn with a pearl choker. I repeat, I was in 4th grade. Way ahead of my game. I even had these tweed shorts I wore with tights and Mary Janes. Classic. I like these bodysuits a little more. More refined and grown up. Perfect to go from the work to cocktail hour.

LAMB Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on September 10, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

Continuing in the punky, Cali cool aesthetic, L.A.M.B.’s Spring collection makes me want to perm my hair, brush it out and buy a bunch of dayglo sunglasses. It’s grown up grunge and polished punk at it’s best. That blue pants suit? Yea, that would look great on me. And don’t even get me started on the shoes…I wants it all.

Richard Chai Love Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on September 10, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

This collection reminds me of the early nineties for some reason. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s full on nostalgia happening. Anyway, this show featured sharp middle of the head parts, somber expressions, and leather jackets everywhere. The fit ranges from close to body and tailored to loose and boxy. I loved the leather moto jackets and crop top/maxi skirt sets. Other than that, I feel like I’ve been there and done that.

Honor Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on September 9, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

This collection embodies everything that is Spring. There’s demure tailoring and lace and floral prints everywhere. It’s basically what you pick out to wear when you want to look good but also want to steer clear of side-eye from Granny.

Josie Natori Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on September 9, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

Talk about vibrancy! This collection may start off a tad bland and tea stained, but it quickly warms up to eye popping colors, oversized bauble necklaces (love!) and slinky, sexy dresses that I can totally see Angelina Jolie or Olivia Wilde wearing down the red carpet. My favorite piece is the pink and orange pantsuit. That’s the kind of outfit that will take you places. So good…so good.

Gary Graham Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on September 9, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

This collection encompasses ethereal gothic. I totally just made that up, but it’s fitting, no? The gauzy film of the dresses and shirts looks like they will float away. They’re only anchored by the embellishment of the embroidery and the structure of the pants and jackets. Everything about this collection screams smart and classy. Pair any one of these outfits with your best “I know I look good. Don’t hate.” face and strut down the street.

Red Valentino Spring 2014 RTW

Posted on September 8, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

Did someone slip me an acid laced sugar cube? I feel like I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole and everything is all iridescent and blurry. The floral artwork is an amazing backdrop to the clothing and the silhouettes of the dresses play well off of the flower blossom shapes. But the whole collection reminds me of playing dress up for some reason. Now, there are a few pieces I really love, like that clear trenchcoat and the two floral shirt dresses. But the rest is a bit -dare I say- childish.

ZAC Zac Posen 2014 Spring RTW

Posted on September 7, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Runway Show Reviews

After looking through the Zac Posen Spring collection, I immediately felt like I had just gotten back from 1940s Cuba. The silhouettes are womanly and grown up. The model is drop dead gorgeous and her Veronica Lake curls are perfect. I want to know who did the make up for this photo shoot, because it is amazing. I want to purchase it all. I will gladly trade my Jeep Liberty for this collection in its entirety. Serious inquiries only.

2013 Style Awards

Posted on September 6, 2013May 9, 2016 by mildredlee in Fashion

Alright peeps, what are your plans for Saturday night? Are you going to the club? Hitting up a new bar to try out the latest $10 cocktail? Well, have fun with that. I will be watching CNN. Yep, that’s right. The Style Awards are being broadcast on CNN, cause it’s not like we have a Style Network or anything…

Anyway, at 7pm Eastern time/4pm Pacific, you can tune in to CNN and catch a glimpse of the style makers and shakers that are being honored this year. Nicole Ritchie is the host and she showed up looking good. Well done Ritchie, well done.
