fall 2016 mansur gavriel

Mansur Gavriel available for pre-order now from left: tote / frame bag / bucket bag / pink patent tote / navy bag

Mansur Gavriel has introduced their fall 2016 collection and made it available immediately for pre-order online. There are several new colors for the fall 2016 season which include navy, pink, burgundy, bright blue, red, and more!

For fall 2016, Mansur Gavriel has introduced new fabrications. In addition to coated calf, Mansur Gavriel’s fall 2016 collection includes suede, canvas, and patent leather. There are also new shoe styles which include loafers, and pumps.

The new tote is my all-time favorite piece from the Mansur Gavriel fall 2016 collection. The tote comes in small, and large. The bow gives it a sweet look which will work well with New York’s late 1960s, and early 1970s influence for the fall 2016 season.

There is also a little mini moon clutch which is a great wardrobe staple. The frame bag offers a vintage vibe; and looks like something you might steal from your Grandmother’s closet. The collection has an overall feminine, sweet vibe which is sure to be hit! Mansur Gavriel can do no wrong.

It is always difficult to find Mansur Gavriel in stock. So now that Mansur Gavriel has released their fall 2016 collection early, and available for pre-order, this is the ideal time to snag the Mansur Gavriel fall 2016 bag of your dreams! I am eyeing the tote but cannot decide on color or size! We all need to act quick before they are gone. Not only will these bags sell out, they are only available for pre-order for two days. So either way, we all need to act fast!

You can find Mansur Gavriel fall 2016 handbags and shoes available for pre-order online now here. I clipped my favorite styles from the collection, and placed them into the scroll bar below. To view the entire collection available for pre-order, please click here.

I cannot wait to hear which bag and/or shoes you end up getting! Wish me luck decided which tote to pre-order!

Marissa Webb showed her fall 2016 collection at the Skylight Clarkson on February 11, 2016 during New York Fashion Week. As always, her collection was amazing.

One of the best pieces on the runway were Marisaa Webb’s booties! The booties were innovative; featuring an inside layer peeking out from the outside layer of the booties. There was a small lace-up detail on the back of the booties, and the heels were thin, and fabulous. Love them! There was also an equally fabulous pair of knee high boots on the Marissa Webb fall 2016 runway. Look for both of these styles to fly off store shelves!

Marissa Webb used texture, patterns, and discreet florals throughout her collection. The main color story included navy, mustard, light grey, rose, and pumpkin. When paired with light grey, the traditional autumn color palette took on a fashion-forward vibe; making fall look new again.

Every season Marissa Webb reinvents the wheel; and gives the fashion world a fresh outlook on how to dress. I plan on getting my hands on a pair of booties, and the navy/white check coat pictured above. Which pieces are you coveting from the Marissa Webb fall 2016 runway collection?

Have you ever spotted a pair of shoes online, or in a store, and they spoke to you? When I first spotted these embroidered floral booties for spring online, I heard them call my name! They said: “Cathy, you need me in your life, buy me in black right now and you will have good fortune!”

Well. . .not really . . . but I placed them in my shopping cart, walked away for two days, couldn’t take it anymore, and clicked “checkout.” The rest is history! They arrived two days later, and it was love at first sight.

I always thought I was too conservative to wear embroidered floral booties for spring. I thought my style was more classic; staying on-trend through colors, and the way I put pieces together, rather than bold pieces which call out a specific year and season. But when I saw these booties, all of that flew out the window.

Whether or not these booties keep their cool factor in 2017, remains to be seen. As for spring 2016, it was worth every penny to experience their current cool factor. After all, they are perfect for transitioning from winter into spring, and they are comfortable too! Doesn’t that qualify as a practical purchase? I think so 😉

 I am looking forward to pairing these embroidered floral booties for spring with leggings, skirts, and dresses, as the season progresses. They are definitely my obsession of the season!

This blouse from Banana Republic needs a shout-out too. I love the pale pink color, and the feminine flow of the blouse. Although I am wearing it on a casual day in the photos above, it looks better with a skirt, or trousers. I will definitely wear it with a skirt on a warmer day, and photograph it for the blog. I plan to wear it during New York Fashion Week later this month too!
