The shop the runway concept is starting to be in full swing! Mansur Gavriel showed their spring/summer 2017 collection during New York Fashion Week, and now, select pieces are available for pre-order, for a limited time. Love it!

Mansur Gavriel introduced their current handbags such as the iconic bucket bag, and the new IT bag, the Circle Tote, in new spring colors. They also introduced new handbag and shoe styles for the spring season. There are two new top handle satchels; one classic, structured lady bag, and one more styled, modern east/west satchel. Both are fabulous, and ideal for different types of outfits; making both of them a need for the spring season! I’m trying to decide which colors to get!

There are also new shoe styles for spring 2017 from Mansur Gavriel! Love the D’Orsay,  low heeled pump, and the classic mules. These are both hot styles for the upcoming spring season, yet classic in their own right.

For the spring 2017 season, Mansur Gavriel introduced feminine, and playful gingham. Instead of a small, sweet print, they utilized a bolder, large gingham print which feels right when paired with minimalist pieces for the warm weather season. It was an ingenious decision to go bold.

You can shop select pieces from Mansur Gavriel’s spring 2017 collection for a short time online here.

Below you can view the pieces available for pre-order. Simply click on what you want, pre-order, and enjoy! I can’t wait to pre-order the satchels! Just not sure which colors I want yet. . .ugh, decisions, decisions. . .


Vivienne Hu spring 2017 New York Fashion Week

Vivienne Hu sent her spring/summer 2017 collection down the New York Fashion Week runway at The Art Beam in New York on September 11, 2017. The collection featured beautiful warm weather hues, soft fabrications, body-conscious silhouettes, and something for every occasion. It was nothing short of fabulous!

Hands down, one of my favorite collections for spring 2017 from New York Fashion Week. Vivienne Hu outdid herself this season with classic, and vintage inspiration mixed together. Her designs were a tribute to the strength of New Yorkers following the 911 attacks fifteen years ago. She focused her spring 2017 collection on women standing powerful, strong, and maybe even a little bit sexy. Loved it!

My absolute favorite look from the show was the flowing spaghetti strap, black print dress featured above in my photos. The belt adds structure, and strength, to the otherwise feminine, flowing silhouette. I love the mixture! This whole outfit is number one on my spring 2017 wishlist.

My next favorite look from her runway was the orange maxi skirt with tie blouse. I feel like I must have this outfit in my closet. The two pieces can be worn together, or mixed and matched with other closet staples. They are perfect for spring! I am also in love with all of the striped pieces on the runway. Again, must-haves for spring!

Some of the recurring trends I noticed on the New York Fashion Week runways for spring 2017 included, horizontal stripes, shades of blue, blush, military green, slip dresses over skin tight tops or blouses, asymmetrical lines, dangerously deep v-necks, crop tops, tie blouses, and shades of orange. Vivienne Hu managed to capture all of these elements in her spring 2017 collection. Although her pieces can be considered timeless, they also happen to be right on trend with the fashion mood of-the-moment. Love that!

Designers are forced to reinvent the wheel every season; and Vivienne Hu did just that, seamlessly, and elegantly. Her collection is perfection.

Michael Costello spring 2017 New York Fashion Week runway and beauty

michael costello spring 2017 nyfw runway

Michael Costello sent his spring 2017 collection down the New York Fashion Week runway on Thursday, September 8, 2016 at the Skylight Moynihan in New York. The collection was dreamy, magical, and took us to a place where dreams are made. Yes, it was truly amazing!

I feel in love with the vibrant purples, sparkling fabrics, and extravagant ruffles. It was beautiful!

The pictures I took from my seat did not come out very well, so thankfully I have PR photos I can share with you, as well as all the fabulous beauty tips from backstage! I’m excited to share with you how to repeat the Michael Costello beauty look straight from the runway, at home! Love that!

The beauty look on Michael Costello’s spring 2017 runway at New York Fashion Week stressed each model’s natural beauty. The makeup artists created high intensity beauty looks which were layered, yet were done in the perfect colors to match each model’s individual skin tone. The result? A fabulous, natural yet intense, beauty look to covet for the upcoming spring season. Love!

Michael Costello’s spring/summer 2017 New York Fashion Week runway collection was “Midnight at the Botanical Bash.” The look was inspired by a dark garden soiree, with makeup focusing on a dark berry lip, bold, bronzed glossy eyes and natural skin.

“This season we really thought about how the natural beauty of a flower resembles that of a woman: Delicate, radiant, unique,” said designer Michael Costello. “The makeup speaks to our idea of how dark and moody is often glamorous, elegant and intriguing.”

How to get the Michael Costello spring 2017 runway beauty look at home:

Edward Cruz, lead makeup artist for INGLOT, created non-traditional, blended-out gold and berry eyes. He used Freedom System Eye Shadow Matte #296 and #299 from INGLOT’s new What A Spice! Collection ($7 each) as the base, and layered on deep gold #81 and berry sparkle #24 using AMC Pure Pigment Eye Shadow ($16 each).

Cruz layered matte, cranberry Lipstick Matte #438 ($15) with AMC Lip Paint #58 ($14) to create an opaque, berry ombre lip.

How to get the metallic ombre nail look from Michael Costello’s spring 2017 runway:

The nails on Michael Costello’s spring 2017 runway were done by Essie. They started with Essie First Base Base Coat, then applied Good as Gold, then, using a latex makeup wedge, Good as Gold, and Sole Mate were blended together in the second coat horizontally, and lightly. Working quickly, tap the wedge lightly on the nail creating an ombre look. Then top it off with Good To Go Top Coat.

With dark lips, purples, and ombre nails a hot trend now and into spring, these are great looks to recreate to wear this season, as well as into next year! I love how we can all wear a little spring 2017 before fall 2016 is in full swing. Love it! The products used for both the beauty looks, and the runway nails, can be found in the widget below. I can’t wait to try this at home! Let me know if you try it!
