[ad_1] The last city of my fashion month calendar is Paris! Over the weeks I’ve seen some amazing street style looks that I can’t wait to try myself. But, Paris FW street style always has that special place in my heart. It’s a city that I often find myself returning to by how they’re able to take trends and really make it their own. Though, the looks might be more toned-down then the other city street style, the key is always in the details!!Laid-back Muted TonesParis really said let’s chill with the dopamine dressing and decided to tone down the…

[ad_1] Let’s talk about Milan FW street style trends! It’s one that I’ve been excited to talk about because if you’re a maximalist like me, this city will be your main source of inspiration. I will say that the street style here was STUNNING! Utility Stays StrongFirst up – utility. Cargo pants and other utility elements have been having a great run while Y2k is continuing as our macro trend. And, I’m not complaining. It’s about playing with that hi-lo volume (a tight fitting top and a loose fitting bottom). I styled this trend with my Loewe boots, which I talk…
[ad_1] You believed knitwear to be that boring basic? You are wrong. Fashion breathed new life into what was once plain. Technicolor oversized knits (think Marni) became somewhat iconic. One thing is for sure: designers are having fun with colors, prints, and silhouettes. The quickest way to get the party spirit into our clothes is through color. Why is that? It’s because color is a direct connection to our emotions. By choosing the colors we wear, we’re expressing how we are feeling or want to feel without saying a word. Take a look at some of the very best acid…
[ad_1] From ECONYL — a regenerated nylon created from post-consumer waste (such as used fishing nets) — to other materials that meet the Global Recycled Standard (a system which verifies that recycled products have been processed in a climate-friendly way), many of the sustainable brands we found use materials that offer traditional swim qualities and features (stretch, water absorption, etc.) without being so harmful to the environment. And while many also include trace amounts of synthetic fibers that aren’t truly sustainable or recyclable, cleaning methods like handwashing or using microfiber-filtering laundry bags can all help prevent shedding.

[ad_1] Do parabens release formaldehyde? I get this question a lot and here’s why: You know the whole “parabens are the devil” thing? It’s total nonsense. I’ve debunked it all here. But, there’s one thing I’ve forgotten to touch on. Formaldehyde. Parabens, those little preservatives that keep your cosmetics safe from germs and bacteria, are often accused of releasing this nasty stuff. Is that true or is it just another thing parabens wrongly take the blame for? Here’s what science says about whether parabens release formaldehyde: What Are Parabens? Parabens are a family of preservatives that’s been widely used in…
[ad_1] Last but not least… Paris Fashion Week! After witnessing an amazing scene with unparalleled energy in New York (read what I wore for NYFW here!) and Milan (read what I wore for MFW here!), I flew to Paris. Paris Fashion Week felt bigger and busier than ever with a jam-packed schedule featuring a healthy mix of storied French houses and younger, independent labels. I kept wearing different hairstyles to suit the vibe of my outfits and you guys seemed to love it! Below I spill the tea on some of the best looks I wore for PFW.Orange AccentsI am…
[ad_1] Loud. A bit of buzz. Eccentric. Often embracing a certain level of chaos. Ladies and gentlemen, maximalism as we know it. Consider this your official guide/inspiration on how to shop the maximalist fashion trend this year!Bright ColorsA sky-blue hue has a certain vitality and freshness to it. However, there is a bright shade for everyone out there, trust me. Mood-boosting brights are going nowhere in 2023, with variations of yellow popping out as well. There’s no doubt that these are statement colors and they look fabulous worn head to toe.Quirky SetsMatching sets are nothing new, but they’re a fun…
[ad_1] The democratization of fashion means that there’s a new designer debuting clothes every few minutes — and that it’s becoming harder to sort out the tripe from the treasures. Let me give you a hand with that. These are three trending brands I have on my radar and they are very much killing it.

Anchored in the highest savoir-faire, the goal was to rewrite the fashion rules, making…
[ad_1] We’ve been here before: denim is one of the hottest trends this year, and here’s what is happening for spring/summer 2023…Full SkirtsDenim skirts have been so popular this season. They’re not only very stylish but versatile (and affordable!) too. Even the less unconventional wardrobes can find a space for this piece because the denim will instantly add a casual feel to the look! I just love the long and elegant silhouette that a maxi denim skirt can give you as well as that robust denim, which will give you an edge.

[ad_1] Silver metallics are trending. There is no shortage of designer inspiration (Sacai, Gucci, Valentino, Paco Rabanne, Chloé, Simone Rocha) and styles (mesh materials, metallic accents, sleek and shiny fabrics) for those who wish to shine bright in this standout trend. Check out some of my favorite silver pieces out there.Full OnSimone Rocha and Altuzarra (British Vogue)Do you know one for the books? When I wore the biggest Carolina Herrera dress of all time.
