The legendary Mario Testino shot a luxurious editorial spread of models Edita Vilkeviciute and Anja Rubik for Vogue Paris October 2013 issue. One reoccurring trend throughout the spread is FUR, FUR, and more FUR! Fitting for the chilly season!

SPRING 2014 RTW TRENDS | SHEER

The sheer craze this coming up spring has been endless! When you think sheer, it could go incredibly wrong or incredibly chic. This here, are chic ways of tackling the new trend. It has the right amount of sex appeal without screaming for THAT kind of attention. It's the "I'm covered, yet NOT!" trend. You're completely covered, but the sheer notes add that pop of unexpected element that ties everything together. 

SPRING 2014 RTW TRENDS | FULL SKIRTS

It's full, it's classic, it's chic, it's the full skirt trend that we've seen numerous times during fashion week. It's the fabulous way of creating a lady-like look with just the snap of the finger (poof...) it's a full skirt. It creates shape for the not so curvy gals and it oozes femininity and class. You could pair this skirt with just about anything! Leather jacket, crop top, dress shirt, I mean, the possibilities are endless. The full skirt will be one of your stables for spring and it's going to be an essential piece in your closet! I promise you!

SPRING 2014 RTW TRENDS | CROP

One of the most crazed and favored trends is the crop top trend and I'm sure many of us are thrilled to see the 90s crop continue for Spring 2014. The trend came down the runway at countless shows and each crop top was paired with many different bottoms. Full skirts, a-line skirts to wide leg pants, it's a great way to mix up your style. Not only for next spring, but for this fall/winter as well!

Dare to bare! 

SPRING 2014 RTW TRENDS | MINIMAL

Another frequent trend on the runway for Spring 2014, the minimalism trend. The effortless chic with minimal touches. It's clean and crisp, no need for over accessorizing or over the top prints and materials. It's the quintessential way of saying "action speaks louder than words," or should I say "clothes speak louder than words." It's the fashion equivalent of making everyone see that the minimal get up tells people more about the person before they even speak. The simple and confident way of saying "I don't need to fuss with anything else, I'm good as is." 

That's complete and utter confidence, no? 

SPRING 2014 RTW TRENDS | ALL WHITE

Fashion week from New York, London, Milan to Paris there has been a reoccurring trend, the ALL WHITE trend. Head to toe with a clean and crisp hue to brighten up spring/summer 2014. The fresh hue appeared at countless shows and each designer created their own twist.

I do love an all white outfit and it's only natural to be excited like a kid in a candy store over this trend. You don't have to wait till next year to rock the all white ensemble. An all winter white get up is in our near future!

FAUSTO PUGLISI SPRING 2014 RTW

Fausto Puglisi Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear

The best way to sum up Puglisi's collection is tropical, edgy, S&M chic! 

Palm trees, leather on top of leather, and belt strap bras! It's a combination that sounds odd but it works SO well. As you keep looking at each look you probably thought to yourself, "Ok...ok..oh! Oh okay!"

It's the type of collection you wear when you're on "that" type of mood, it's the certain dress and skirt you wear on vacation at a tropical area, it's the belt strap bra & skirt that you want to be out all night and party in, and on certain days the collection you want to be comfortable and shop in! It's a little of everything that molds into this fantastic piece of fashion specimen that you just want to shout out and say "GIVE ME!" 

It's fabulous and I'm lusting...
