One of the show I'm dying to see is the 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring/Summer 14 collection. And he doesn't disappoints! This season, the use of Geodes is refreshing unlike the usual shapes and florals for spring. Geodes are those rocklike mineral formations that split open to reveal swirls of many-hued crystal. I love the theme for this season. It somewhat feels like a "Stylish Explorer" theme to me. Earth-tones, patchwork, various textures and fluid silhouette runs the show. I wonder how does he come up with such intriguing designs. It's just amazing.

Karen Walker Spring RTW 14 collection is filled with sportswear, sweaters, trousers, pinks and orange hues. These above are my favourite looks! It has the hippie college girl look that I adore. Even though it is a spring collection, the designer takes on smart layering with light-weight fabrics on the coats and jackets.

If there is one thing so far I've noticed, it will be that white, black and orange-coral palette seems to be popping up quite a bit! Also, sportswear is MAJOR too. I wonder if more would come by. We'll just have to see. Meanwhile, I really do adore Tibi S/S 14 looks. I love the simplicity of it all with a hint of skin or a splash of colour. Those updated "track pants" just makes me want to go get one now.

NYFW: Alexander Wang S/S 14

As you would know, New York Fashion Week has just kicked off recently and I'm so excited to see what's in stall for us fashion-hungry people.

One of my favourite show so far is the Alexander Wang Spring Summer 14 collection. I like how he is always able to reinterpret sportswear and this time round, it is a whole lot sexier. I like the flare panel shorts, the cut-out tee and the collar shirts in particular. It is just so versatile to mix and match with anything in your wardrobe. It feels like there is elements of tennis wear with the pleated skirts and collar shirts. Also, there are elements of sleepwear-inspired pieces with the stripe shorts seen above. I guess this particular past season trend is set to carry forward this season? We shall see! Accessories wise, it's that trusty big clutch bag that every woman wants. I also like the rubber mary-jane pumps in pastel colours. So adorable and it looks really good! All in all, it is definitely a collection to remember with clean cuts and wearable chic pieces.



One of the perfect examples to the saying,"Less is more."

Flashback Runway: Victoria Beckham S/S 2013

First up, I do know that S/S 14 is about to be shown in major fashion cities. But here I am still reminiscing the good old ones. Here we have Victoria Beckham's Spring Summer 2013. I have absolute respect for this woman hands down. I mean, to go from a singer to a fashion designer? And to establish such a strong branding, is an amazing feat.

I personally adore the colour palette here. Orange-red, black and white are such contrasting hues and it brings the whole collection together. I love how it has that sort of sportswear/minimalistic design to this collection. Honestly, I would wear all of these out. It's just clean chic.

Check out the details from the runway!
