Fashion Week Review In the Raw: Rebecca Minkoff

It's every fashionista's favorite time of the year: Fashion Week! Everyone is basking in all it's glory, from the spectators on the level of the runway, to the models being thrusted on stage, to the designers anxiously awaiting the crowds response. While I wish I was there to report all the trends and such in person, I do happen to have the second best source: the internet. 

I thought i'd do a review of one my favorite designers collections', Rebecca Minkoff. 

After watching the show through (Just scroll down to the bottom of the page and it's called "REBECCA MINKOFF:Runway Video, Spring 2014 ), I have a pretty good idea of what to look forward to. Most of the pieces in her collection have either a black or white base, and have a nautical Mexican vibe to them, entailing the bright floral traces. These looks are very chic, and perfect for many. Anyone up to sailing, or maybe kite flying? 

Without being too over-bearing, here are some looks/pieces i loved:



 



Speaking of Rebecca Minkoff, one of my personal favorite YouTube beauty vloggers, Ingrid Nilsen (or MissGlamorazzi) was a hair model for TRESemme- I always thought she had such lovely locks!

 
Did I mention she met Rebecca Minkoff? What a lucky gal!

 Exciting!

What do you guys think of the Rebecca Minkoff Spring 2013 line? 
Is it hot, or not? I want to hear you opinions!

Until next time,
Layla

Your Time Will Come, If You Wait For It

Your Time Will Come, If You Wait For It


The time has come where we must bid goodbye to the warm summer, and welcome the cool breeze of fall. As much as I will miss summer (and all of it's sunny memories), I look forward to the coming season.  One of the main reasons, is because with fall comes so many more accessorizing options! Now we all can add our lovely scarves, fun hats, and bring back those seductive leather gloves back into the daily mix of our outfits.

I don't know about you, but I like to ease into each season slowly, and this adorable sweater from Chicnova is the perfect transition, because of the summery color (although let's be honest, it's fun to wear bright colors all season, when worn correctly or course), and medium dark wash jeans are a necessity in any wardrobe. These cute Steve Madden combat boots are the perfect pair (although if you want to opt for a cheaper pair, I got mine at Target for around $40.00) for this outfit. I love the beige scarf, and since we have that we can keep the jewelry to a minimal, so I just added pearl earrings and a coral bracelet. Another cute staple accessory I added was this watch by Betsey Johnson (and I suggest to look at the rest of her collection for more gorgeous watches) which is a must have if you're a student in school, a working fashionista, or quite frankly, anything you might need to keep track of  time for- you don't want to be late for that very important *ahem* HOT date! ;) The Celine Trapeze Bag is definitely a splurge, but I just love the structure of it! If you can budget it, I say go for it- Celine bags are just gorgeous and I cannot wait for the day in the distant future when I can finally walk out of the Beverly Hills store, bag in hand with one of these beauties! A girl can dream, right? :)

I hope you've all enjoyed this post, and now I'm off to devour myself in the September issue of Vogue, and also dream about designer purses :) I hope you all have a lovely night (or morning, or whenever you're reading this)!

Now I'm A Warrior

Now I'm A Warrior



Demi Lovato is absolutely gorgeous, and extremely influential- i'm proud to call myself a "Lovatic" (the name given to all Demi fans). She has overcome so many obstacles, yet still has stayed strong. Her song "Warrior" (listen to it here if you haven't already) is so beautiful, and I can hear the strength in her voice as she sings. And who can forget how playful she was with Simon Cowell on the X-Factor as a judge?

This fall look inspired by Lovato is a comfortable look that can be worn out on a cool fall day, perhaps to take a quick trip to the Grove for red velvet cupcake from Sprinkles, or a perhaps a stroll a few stores down to Barnes & Noble. With all the chilly weather, who doesn't  need a good book to sunggle up with? I absolutely adore this AllSaints cropped leather jacket. Infact, while in Macy's two weeks ago, I happened to stumble upon so many fashionable leather jackets; they're totally trendy and totally splurge worthy :)

Send Me to New York Fashion Week

Send Me to New York Fashion Week




You should send me to Fashion Week because: it has always been my dream to attend- absolute TOP of my bucket list! And to correspond trends for Polyvore as well? That's an honor I would love to have! Not only that, but as a student pursuing Visual Communications to become a stylist, it would help me gain extremely valuable experience that would otherwise be difficult to obtain. The second reason I should be sent to fashion week, is because i'm a YouTube vlogger. It would be amazing to share my unique experience with my viewers, who would get to experience this amazing opportunity along with me- I could bring everyone to fashion week! It would really be a great insight to many! The last reason I would love to attend is to visit New York! It has been my DREAM to visit New York! I can't quite explain the excitement or drawl, except for that I have an ache to visit, and to visit during fashion week would just be the best way to experience it.

Fall Lookbook Part 1

Fall Lookbook Part 1


 Since school and fall are quickly approaching, I figured its time to get down to business and make more fall inspired sets. The blazer could easily be replaced with a denim best if desired, I just found this super cute blazer from Yoox.com and HAD to use it! Also- who doesn't love panda's?! They're simply adorable! 

One think I really wanted to do with this outfit is have fun, while still keeping it classy and fashion-friendly instead of making a fashion faux-pa.
