- This F/W '12 lookbook from Wolverine 1000 Mile Collection by Samantha Pleet. I have never heard of this company before, but they have been around since 1883 and that's pretty damn impressive. These boots are absolutely gorgeous, and have a real vintage touch to them. The first outfit gives a feeling of Amelia Earhart personified. The second outfit reminds of a safari in Africa, with plenty of khaki and worn leather.

Just a few of my favorite looks for last night's Met Gala Ball held in New York. So many gorgeous dresses, I wish I had been there. My favorites would have to be Rashida Jones Tory Burch, Beyonce in Givenchy Haute Couture, Christina Ricci in Thakoon, and Karlie Kloss in Jason Wu.

Top & Tank: Forever21
Jeans: Gap
Flats: Target
Such a simple outfit, but I felt really good in it. I liked the mix of different bright colors on the feathers, and then I added the orange tank underneath to make it really stand out. Officially have Spring fever.

In honor of St. Patrick's Day tomorrow, which is by far one of my favorite holidays of the year, I decided to create this little inspiration board. Full of rich greens to help put us in the mood for such a festive holiday. This holiday stands out to me in such a big way, obviously because I am Irish it means a lot to me, but it's more than just getting wasted. It's helping to celebrate a fantastic culture of people that are friendly, fun, and tough. I am really proud to be Irish and it's so much fun to have a day to celebrate that heritage. I've been to Ireland once in my life and it was beyond anything I could have hoped for. I know I'll go back someday in the future, but for now I can stand with looking at pictures of rolling green hills and beautiful scenery.

- Over the shoulders
Noticed this a lot during every Fashion Week, but almost every person who was photographed had some type of coat or jacket draped over their shoulders. It’s a simple, yet chic accessory to have. It’s such a simplistic touch to an outfit, but damn these women look good.
While cropped pants have always been in style, we have Audrey Hepburn to praise for that, but I’ve noticed it’s gotten pretty huge this year. They slim down legs, they look great with pretty much any type of shoe, and they will never got out of style! What’s not to love?
3. Loafers
Not just for men anymore! These stylish shoes have been popping up everywhere, and I have no problem with that. I’ve seen it a lot with street style photographs, so it’s slowly getting into the mainstream. Noticed a lot of retailers have started selling them also, calling them loafers or ‘slippers’! There are different colors, patterns, some even have tassles! I highly recommend adding these to your wardrobe.
4. Braided hair
Braided hair has definitely come a long way from just the basic french braid, to something I could never have even imagined someone could do on their own. Obviously celebrities, who have brought these hairstyles to red carpet events, have hair stylists to help them out but everyone else has to fend for themseleves. Google and YouTube are our friends, ladies!
5. Neon
Now, I know this word can cause alarm, but let’s take a breath and realize what we can do with this trend nowadays. From fashion, to accessories, and even nail polish! There are tons of ways to add this pop of color to your wardrobe, and you don’t even have to go crazy with it! A little can go a long way with neon, so be careful and not go overboard.
6. Floral and geometric patterns
Since this MSGM collection is from the Pre-Fall 2012 collection, I’m guessing these two bold prints are going to be around for awhile.

NEW YORK
Oscar de la Renta
Red Valentino
Rachel Zoe
Ralph Lauren
Christian Siriano
I am just going to focus on the amazing collection that Oscar put out for us. I usually like a few pieces here and there from a collection, but with his I could actually see myself wearing every single garment in his collection for Fall 2012 RTW. He just knows how to dress a woman, and with this collection it's really aimed at a sophisticated type of woman. With mostly short, full-skirted silhouettes and pastel shades of pinks and blues. Then you have the printed jewels on most of the dresses that really make it stand out, and gave the collection a quality streak that no one can compare to. Let's bow down to this powerhouse that is none other than Oscar de la Renta.
LONDON
Burberry Prorsum
Moschino
PPQ
Twenty8Twelve
Now can Burberry do no wrong? Not in my eyes, and it never fails to amaze me at how much I love every collection that Christopher Bailey has been putting for each season lately. With gorgeous trench coats, to pencil skirts with substantial peplums adorned on the waist. Echoes from the 30s and 40s but with an edge. There were country animals adorned on basic white t-shirts, paired with herringbone lined and shearling jackets. A perfect collection for a rainy day walking through London.
MILAN
Dolce & Gabbana
Alberta Ferretti
Beccaria
Dsquared
Luisa
Then we come to Milan and it's brilliant Italian designers. You can't really go wrong with them, and Dolce & Gabbana was definitely on the top of my list for this season. They set their collection apart this year with chandeliers incorporated with real flowers. Lavish and stunning would be two words to describe D&G aesthetic for this collection. With silhouettes away from the body, gold embellishments, and floral and cherub prints. It was a thing to behold, and I for one wish I had been in the front row.

We all get sick of those Winter blues, especially here in Minnesota, our Winters can be long and arduous. Luckily this year we haven't had that much snow, but mix in cold temperatures and anyone can get annoyed by being bundled up all the time. ISo, I figured I'd talk about Spring! It's one of my favorite times of the year and the trends for it are always a lot of fun. But what can we look forward to this year? I've noticed pops of orange, and other bright color schemes like greens and blues. We'll find these in garments and makeup. Floral details, geometric patterns that go on everything (i.e; dresses, pumps, scarves, etc.), studded loafers for women that make any outfit sophisticated. Braided up-dos are by far my favorite trend that I hope to see a lot of this Spring.
