the Beauties of London Fashion Week.
The gauntlet of consecutive fashion weeks is almost over, with only Milan remaining. While we’re sad to see it go, staying on top of what to wear next season can be exhausting.

From Ragbags to Riches: NYFW AW2016.

We saw nominee and performer Lianne La Havas in a yellow-on-yellow floral gown, Selena Gomez in glittered blue Calvin Klein, and both Taylor Swift and Kimberly Schlapman of Little Big Town in fuchsia and salmon separates. With wardrobe changes and live performances, it certainly was a night of hits (and misses).
