Mathieu Mirano spring/summer 2014 presentation at New York Fashion Week.

Mathieu Mirano showed his spring 2014 collection in presentation form during New York Fashion Week. The looks were body conscious, classic and evoked luxury. I loved his use of texture, metallics and classic hues. The gold lace pencil skirt, which you will see in the video below, was my favorite piece in the collection. I also adored all of the red!

Below is a press video from Mathieu Mirano’s spring/summer 2014 presentation at New York Fashion Week. What is your favorite part about the collection?

Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue eau de toilette review

Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue eau de toilette is a fresh and crisp fragrance perfect for transitioning from summer into fall. As we leave summer behind and move into the autumn months, the weather is still warm; sometimes reaching 90 degrees. Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue is perfect for warm weather and offers a reminiscent vibe of the summer vacation we left behind.

Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana combines fragrance notes of citron, lemon, bluebell, Granny Smith apple, jasmine, rose, bamboo, cedar wood, amber and musk. This combination of crisp summer top and heart notes combined with warm, autumn base notes creates the perfect fragrance experience throughout the day. While the sun rises and heats up the day, Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana cycles through the citrus top notes and fruity-floral middle fragrance notes. At the end of the day when the fog rolls in from the ocean, the warm woody base warms up the evening. Love that!

Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue eau de toilette received five out of five stars from Bay Area Fashionista! 

Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana can be found in three sizes, .84oz, 1.6oz and 3.3oz. The line is priced from $48-$89 and can be found online here.

Emerson by Jackie Fraser-Swan spring/summer 2014. I was sitting in the last row for Emerson’s collection, so unfortunately my photos are not the best quality. What I tried to capture in these photos were the amazing prints and florals on the Emerson runway. I loved the floral prints. The florals were sophisticated and grown up; these were not your daughter’s flower prints! Emerson also showed black and white stripes on the runway; signaling a continuation of this trend as we move into 2014.

The entire collection was beautiful and romantic. I love the soft yet vivid colors in the collection as well as the mix of prints. There was also quite a bit of sheer detailing on the pieces; another trend we are seeing emerge from New York for spring 2014. Love!

I am in love with the purple and white floral dress shown in the blurry photo above. Again, my apologies for the poor quality. This was definitely my favorite look on the Emerson spring/summer 2014 runway at New York Fashion Week.
