bits of backstage

fashion weeks around the world were looking as fabulous as ever for spring fourteen & through my incessant pinning, I found myself quite inspired by the details captured off the catwalk. bold hues at burberry, mad shapes & adornments at mary katrantzou, pretty ponytails at roksanda ilincic & the ever ethereal touches at erdem... is anyone else stuck in serious daydreams about these dear details & bits of backstage? 

1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 . 7

pearl picks : the twelfth at nyfw

crisp & clean, calvin klein took the sheer trend to their aesthetic with new necklines & knee length skirts

marc jacobs' floral fashions were for a fashionable & fringe-filled garden party that could possibly be out of this world

pearl picks : the eleventh at nyfw

we'll start with the all-american & a la mode michael kors whose crops, crocodile, nude hues & navy-s never missed a detail of the designer's aesthetic  

next up nanette lapore laid out lady like looks, perfect for a beautiful breezy day next may

elizabeth & james kept it cool & mainly minimalistic for styles celebrities from kate moss to olivia palermo would wear in every tabloid tear

another clean-cut collection, I adore the short hemlines happening at j mendel

this wearable collection that was styled simply perfect & pretty, white sundresses and sunhats that will work at any occasion  

creating an essence of concrete jungle, clover canyon's prints were geometric & edgy 

made of the most modern & luxurious lace & shapes, marchesa's runway was an unreal selection of sheer skirts & slightly sexy silhouettes  

pearl picks : the tenth at nyfw

tuesday started up stylishly with tory burch bringing in a bit of casual glam

j crew was as joyous as ever with witty tees & popping prints 

arriving with a touch of tie die & sheer panels, adeam made modern dress look delicate 

what to wear to the fancy french riviera? basically everything badgley mischka made this season

of course I'm including oscar de la renta whose black & whites were basically worth wearing everyday & everywhere

simply put, sheer polka dots had me sold at sass & bide 

pearl picks : the ninth at nyfw

mary kate & ashley are as awesome as always, the row revealed another rad yet relaxed season with fun hats & lots of flow

karen walker spring is for the quirky school girl, so naturally I think this theme is perfectly necessary for a nerd like me! 

on the more modern, streamlined & simplistic side, 3.1 phillip lim worked crisp, wearable whites with daring details

& obviously I could never pass over an alice + olivia look book, the shift dress & giant skirt in stencil-esque prints? pretty please!
