The Zimmermann spring 2016 collection shown during New York Fashion Week was absolutely amazing. The collection combined the prints, fabrications, texture, and drape we have come to love about Zimmermann’s collections, with the current trend towards higher hemlines. Love it!

One of the dominant trends on the spring/summer 2016 runways in New York was the short, 1960’s style hemline. Zimmermann showed this short hemline while keeping an earthy color palette and vibe.

The collection featured soft neutrals, soft blues, and delicate layers. The prints offered small patterns which were feminine and demure.

Zimmermann showed strappy shoes which hit mid-calf and came in colors to match the collection. The handbags were boxy and shown in both beige and soft blue. Loved it!

Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Floral Drops EDT review

Pictured: c/o Dolce & Gabbana “Dolce Floral Drops” eau de toilette

Dolce & Gabbana’s new flanker fragrance to Dolce is Dolce Floral Drops. This beautiful eau de toilette contains the same fragrance notes as Dolce, yet offers a softer, dewier fragrance experience than it’s predecessor. Love it!

Dolce Floral Drops is an eau de toilette, versus the original Dolce which offered an eau de parfum concentration. The EDT mixture of Dolce Floral Drops creates a softer, more floral fragrance experience than the EDP mixture from Dolce which offered more of a green floral experience.

The fragrance notes for Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Floral Drops EDT are:

Top notes: neroli leaf, papaya flower.
Middle notes: white amaryllis, white daffodil, white water lily.
Base notes: cashmeran, musk, sandalwood.

Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Floral Drops EDT starts off with a light green scent laced in florals. After about twenty minutes, the green scent settles down and a beautiful floral bouquet takes over. At the end of the day, the floral scent is laced with smooth musk and sandalwood.

The light floral fragrance experience of Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Floral Drops EDT lends itself well to daily wear. This fragrance is ideal for moderate and warm weather; making it a great scent to wear in the spring, summer, and fall seasons.

Since Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Floral Drops EDT is a lighter scent, it can easily be worn in tight quarters to places such as the office or theater. It is also easy to wear for casual or semi-formal occasions. Love that!

Dolce & Gabbana’s Dolce Floral Drops EDT is a beautiful scent which sets itself apart from it’s Mother fragrance Dolce. Although both fragrances offer a different fragrance experience, they will likely appeal to the same nose. I’m in love!

Georgine spring 2016 New York Fashion Week

SS2016 NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

Georgine showed her spring/summer 2016 collection at New York Fashion Week on September 14, 2015. The collection was nothing short of amazing. Definitely one of my favorite shows of the week!

The color palette featured soft tones as well as eye-popping bright colors. The highlight of the show, which garnered “ooohs” and “aaaahs” from the crowd were the fur stoles.

Georgine’s fur stoles offered structured, geometric shaping which was contrasted by the soft fur. It is amazing how the fur was able to be shaped in balls!

In addition to fabulous clothing, a fur fanny pack, and jaw-dropping fur stoles, there was an abundance of celebrities sitting in the front row at Georgine’s show. Across from me sat the fabulous Kristin Taekman from Real Housewives of New York. Yes, I am a huge fan. Next to her sat Stassi Schroeder of Sur, and towards the photographers sat Nigel Barker (love him!), Patti Wilson, Laverne Cox, and Linda Fargo of Bergdorf Goodman.

If you are not already following Georgine on social media, be sure to follow along at @GeorgineStudio and wait with baited breath for this spring 2016 collection to hit store shelves!
