My favourites from the New York and London Fall 2016 runways! Trouser looks and inspiring new shapes and silhouettes from NYFW, where the Proenza Schouler collection in particular stood out for me. And casual yet elegant loose fit ensembles seen at LFW, where the striped Mulberry suit was my definite favourite. Also, a bunch of stunning gowns I wouldn't mind seeing on the Oscars red carpet come Sunday!

My favourite collections from New York's Spring 2016 fashion week - at first sight. Tibi surprisingly manages to make me like sequins, Calvin Klein Collection takes us back to the 90's and those sexy silky slip-dresses, while Delpozo once again blows my mind with its romanticism and otherworldly silhouettes. Jason Wu at Boss makes loose-fits still seem sophisticated, which is something I'm always aiming for myself, and Victoria Beckham's collection, in her words, is "about attitude and just making things fresh and carefree" - bet it suits her feelings about her place in the fashion world. ('cause I doubt anyone was still trying, but she really can not be ignored!) The Tome collection is made out of possibly my favourite colour palette (including khaki, navy, white and black) and I am loving the slouchy layered looks that still manage to look so feminine. Narciso Rodriguez shows us clean and cool, while Rosetta Getty's collection, inspired by postmodern dance, is a little more fluid. The 3.1 Phillip Lim collection consists of interesting lengths, layers and details I will definitely be keeping in mind for when I'm trying to un-dull my outfits next spring. Riccardo Tisci is celebrating his tenth year at Givenchy and for this he revisited ideas he's been working on throughout those years and clearly these still are just as impressive. Proenza Schouler's collection is giving us frills that I, quite surprisingly, actually adore. And Peter Copping's collection for Oscar de la Renta, as usual, makes me dream of perhaps someday being sort of a.. princess?

So, the "biggest fashion event of the year" took place in New York last night, aka the MET Gala, this year themed 'China: Through the Looking Glass'. And we all know I enjoy a big red carpet event from time to time, even if all I get to do is scroll through the images of it over breakfast. At the MET Gala I like to see people go "all out" and a few attendees did just that. Fan Bingbing was exquisite in Christopher Bu, Emily Blunt took a risk (which paid off, imo!) in Prada and Rihanna definitely did not hold back either, showing up in an extravagant Guo Pei Couture coat. Safer looks that still stood out for me because of their beauty were a very pregnant Jaime King in Jason Wu for Hugo Boss, Uma Thurman in Atelier Versace and Alexa Chung in Erdem. However, my favourite look of the night had to be Rose Byrne in Calvin Klein Collection! On this image in particular. Slightly risky but in theme and utterly gorgeous from head to toe.
As for the worst dressed, imo: Beyonce. There, I said it.
The 'China: Through the Looking Glass' exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art runs from May 7 to August 16.

This season it's taken me a little longer to get through all the collections for Spring/Summer 2014 and I thought it was about time I showed you some of my favourite looks. So this is by no means a complete trend guide but it's the styles that most appeal to me and that I hope to be sporting myself come spring. First up: New York Fashion Week. My favourite collections from this fashion week have to be from Theyskens' Theory, Victoria Beckham, The Row and Derek Lam. Again, I'm going for lots of loose fits and very little popping colours. The new trouser length (as seen in Victoria Beckham's look) is one I'll definitely be trying out even though I'm not sure yet it will suit my short legs. Also, that powdery pink Reed Krakoff suit is one I wouldn't mind living in all spring season!
