Spring is here, Make a splash with these Vibrant Scarves

London-based designer, Cleo Ferin Mercury recently caught our eye. We love her colorful prints with a twist, all printed on silk. The playful lion and cheetah scarves are our favorites and the detachable collars work great on a simple tee. Whether its for something bold with your Spring trench or as a headband for the summer, these vibrant beauties will never go out of style.

More Hot looks from Paris for Fall 2014

We love these ten standout looks from the Fall 2014 Paris Runway. Although these are Fall dresses and skirts, a lot of these pieces are airy and Spring-like and we hope they give you some inspiration for the new season!

There were some beautiful white sheer dresses on the Paris fall runway this year. This dramatic McQueen floor length dress is one of our favorites and we love the simple, yet intricate, Valentino version as well.

Great glamorous school girl looks were happening this year. We love the metallic version plaid version from Saint Laurent and the Balmain mustard and metal skirt is fab.

We saw some impressive sculptural dresses as well. Balenciaga hit the spot with a beautiful version in black leather and Acne impressed us with a dramatic white knit version.

  

There were also some dresses with amazing shine on the runway. This silver criss cross version from Chanel is great and we like the way Louis Vuitton mixed iridescence with nude.

Finally we love these softer, romantic pieces. The hummingbirds from Valentino have a ethereal feel and the detailed beading on the Givenchy dress is stunning.

Best of Paris Fall 2014: The Great Coat

Spring is finally here and it's just about time to shed your coats. But, just as you are getting ready to leave your coats behind, we want to give you something to look forward to for next year. After all, a coat is a wardrobe staple. These are some of our favorites from Paris Fashion Week for Fall 2014.

White coats will be big for fall. We love JC De Castelbajac's version with a cape and Chloe's sculptural version

Black and white coats were also all over the Paris runway, particularly with stripes. We like Saint Laurent's fur version and Isabel Marant's more casual cool kid version too.

We also love the texture on Balenciaga's black sweater style coat and Maiyet's sleek wine colored puffer.

We saw a lot of yellow coats on the runway this year. This bright yellow vest from Christian Dior caught our eye and Balenciaga's yellow oversized coat had great texture.

Finally, we spotted many metallic coats. Saint Laurent's silver coat and Prada's gold coat were two of our favorites.

Go Baroque

We loved the Baroque accessories we spotted at the Dolce & Gabbana Fall'14 show. The brocade and embellishments inspired us to add some to our own wardrobe. With intricate chandelier earrings, metallic flats, or a silk scarf you can add luxe to your everyday look.

Finding Inspiration at Capsule New York, Pt. 3

For our final post on the Capsule New York show, we wanted to feature the fabulous hats we saw!

Albertus Swanepoel, a South African milliner creates incredible hats and head pieces, beautifully sculpted in rich felts and gorgeous materials. We especially loved a olive multi color feather fedora and neutral ombre furry fedora. 

Fedora's were all over Capsule, but a new idea we loved was hat rim jewelry. Adding one or two rings could be a fun new way to dress up your old fedora, or even add a little charm or two for a little something extra.

Adeen, a NYC streetwear label makes these wild caps with screwed on bright acryclic letters and faces. They will definitely take making a statement to the next level.

We found so many great brands at Capsule the other week that we decided to do a whole series on the show. Check out part two!

Adina Mills, creates hand sculpted and painted jewelry inspired by nature. These are some serious rocks, we loved these chunky rings and pendants.

Orly Genger by Jaclyn Mayer, makes enamel coated rope jewelry that is bold and modern. We also love their twisted and knot rope inspired metal jewelry, great for layering.

MeDusa, an Israeli brand brings innovative textiles and eco friendly materials to accessories by sculpting industrial plastic in bright colors. We love the organic textures on these modern shaped purses.

  

Strathcona, is a specialty socks and stocking company designed and made locally in Canada. We love these weird and beautiful patterns, all original and printed in limited quantities. 

Reverie was also at Capsule showing the Fall/Holiday14 Collection, which was inspired by the world and discovery of snowflakes when viewed under a microscope. These incredible prints along with luxurious fabrics, textures and details are cut in modern, sophisticated silhouettes and emphasizes a playful and whimsical element. The look book will be coming out soon. Stay tuned!
