When I was in New York for fashion week, I took a break from the shows in order to visit Kendra Scott’s showroom in the Garment District. As a fan of her jewelry, I found myself walking into jewelry heaven! The showroom featured Kendra Scott’s classic collection, the Spring 2015 “Avant Garden” collection, her summer 2015 “Via Maya” collection, and a peek her fall 2015 collection, which is in progress. 

Kendra Scott’s spring 2015 collection, “Avant Garden” is a beautiful and dreamy collection filled with pastel agate, opal, quartz, and drusy. The stones are set in gold, silver, and rose gold settings. There were edgy styles like crawler earrings, bold statement earrings such as the “Kaki Earrings,” and seasonal takes on her classic collection. I have fallen in love with the “Susanna Bracelets,” and every necklace in the collection. I cannot wait to collect a few pieces!

For summer 2015, Kendra Scott took her inspiration from the mystifying jungles of The City of Dawn, Tulum, Mexico, and the Mayan culture. The collection has taken a bold turn away from her classic collection, yet successfully captured the appeal which has placed her on the fashion map. Although the designs are new and exciting, the summer 2015 “Via Maya” collection stays true to the brand; you will be impressed!

Due in stores April 15, 2015, Kendra Scott’s “Via Maya” collection for summer 2015 offers bright colors, triangular tiering, and a vibe which will transport you to an exotic beach location in Mexico. Not only do I have many of the summer 2015 pieces on my wish list, I am suddenly craving a vacation to Mexico!

Here are a few pictures of the summer 2015 “Via Maya” collection due in stores April, 2015.

Chanel’s Haute Couture spring and summer 2015 collection was shown in Paris on January 26, 2015. This beautiful collection by Karl Lagerfeld showcased an animated Garden of Eden complete with floral inspiration, soft pastels, pops of blue and red as well as a soft, romantic vibe.

I am in love with the flowing fabrications, applique’s and the hats! Love! This collection also makes me want to add more pastel pink to my wardrobe.

Goodbye 2014 and to all the horrible trends we will leave behind!

It is the last day of 2014! As the calendar flips over to 2015, we can jump and cheer for a new year of fashion trends; and say good-bye to the horrible trends of 2014. Buh-bye last years look!

Let’s look back on the bad fashion and street style trends from 2014, so we can move forward and enjoy the fabulous trends 2015 will bring us!

Goodbye 2014!

Radiant Orchid: This beautiful lavender hue was the color of 2014, but alas, it never really caught on. You may catch glimpses of it in patterns as we move into 2015, but don’t plan on a head-to-toe look of this hard-to-wear color. Au revoir!

Top Knot Buns: What were those weird, round buns sitting on the top of girl’s heads?! Those horrible buns were usually achieved by wrapping hair around a foam donut, wha?????? Look, if you need to insert a gross piece of foam in your hair to create a hairstyle, there is something wrong. Stay away from the foam donut top knot bun! Buh-bye!

Studs: The heavy metal, studded and spike look is done. Leave them in the back of your closet for the next Metallica concert you attend. Otherwise, they have no place in your wardrobe in 2015. Ouch!

Dark Nails: Dark nail were all the rage in 2014, but for 2015, medium colors are hot to trot. Steer clear of black nails and look for colors and metallics to paint on those nails. 

Undefined Waists: The day of not wearing a belt through those belt-loops is gone. If you have belt loops, wear a belt! Also, belt everything you can; dresses, coats etc. Belt it!

Hello 2015!

Marsala: This beautiful, deep red hue is the color of 2015. Look for it in prints and alone. Love it!

Shades of Blue: Multiple shades of blue are all the rage for 2015. Look for an oceanic color palette on warm spring days. So calm and cool, love that!

Fringe: This boho-chic trend started to gain momentum in 2014, but for 2015, it is all the rage! Let out your inner hippie or flapper, it’s time to fringe!

Comfort Shoes: Flat sandals, comfort sandals and flatforms are all the rage for 2015. Look for them worn with socks for a little sass and a fashion forward look. If this isn’t your thing, don’t fret, your pointed toe pumps are still hotter than hot 😉

Drawstring Handbags: The hot “IT” bag for 2014 is not relinquishing it’s #1 spot for the 2015 year. Look for drawstring handbags in all price points, from all brands/designers. It’s the “IT” factor.

There you have it! For more 2015 trend inspiration, click here for the spring/summer 2015 trends from the New York runways. 

Happy New Year and have a fabulous, fashionable 2015!
