Bonjour Fashion Week, Hello Red Carpet!

As September comes to an end, so has the fashion month of endless events including FNO and Fashion Week. Instead of giving a recap of the whole month, I thought I'd highlight two of my latest favorite fashion shows, which took place during Paris Fashion Week.

The Louis Vuitton show left me in awe! Usually, I'm not a huge fan of Louis but I do love all things Marc Jacobs related. The whimsical show included a merry go round, Kate Moss, and gorgeous designs. The models each took turns stepping off the merry go round to show off the clothes, which mostly consisted of feminine, light colors. Although I wasn't totally sold on the lose fit of the designs, the format of the show was heavenly. Out of all of the different innocent retro looks, my favorite was the detailing of the jackets. Mr. Jacobs' angelic direction showed promise for the much speculated possibility that he is headed to Dior. Perhaps the merry go round was symbolizing the start of his next adventure?

Another recent show that caught my eye was Elie Saab. I love Saab's gowns so much that a few years ago I made a mental note of putting the designer in my top potential wedding dress designers! What's not to adore about the dazzling Elie Saab fabrics? During red carpet events, it's easy to spot which gowns are made by the Lebanese designer but they've never been boring or too predictable. At the Paris fashion show, the designs lived up to high expectations with signature soft pastels, as well as bold winter colors. I look forward to spotting these beautiful dresses all throughout award and holiday season!

"I love to take things that are everyday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world."
