Chanel's lineup was quite bold, and very unexpected, with a lot of teared clothes and sneakers. The grocery store backdrop was odd too. Chanel's always been so classy! While refreshing it also was also very unexpected.</div>

And while some ensembles were very hip-hop street style in a chic way, some included a very bright, art-deco pattern that I can't say is my favorite.</div>

The 70's have been fading in and out, constantly bring in a flux of old trends. Now it's the ultimate symbol of the 70s: The daisy. The phrase "flower child" came out of the 70s and it's back, now completely immersed into the mainstream.</div>

I've already stocked up on a daisy tank top and high waist shorts. I'm not much of a 'florals' kind of girl because in general florals are too girly for my taste, but the daisy print invokes such 70s flair that it leaves the style up to you: boho, retro, girly. You can even make it edgy by adding a black leather jacket. It's literally anything you want it to be. </div>

<br />As you may have already guessed, I love when fashion editorials and clothes get turned into art. So...this campaign pretty much made me very happy! I love it, and I think its SO creative. Such a fresh perspective, a nice change of pace in fashion magazines riddled with adds of long legged blondes.</div>

It may have been after watching the figure skating Sochi finals last night(Adelina Sotnikova was absolutely amazing) and admiring all the beautiful figure skating dresses, but some of the Versace Fall/Winter 2014 collection looks a lot like what a figure skater would wear, and I've been seeing dresses similar elsewhere on the runways. Are short glittery mini dresses with sequins and frills back?</div>

Bland nails are out, dainty floral nails are in! If you're into nail art this is a good time to flaunt it. With Spring around the corner comes a ton of new floral nail art, and this time around it looks classy, not Gaudy.</div>

Valentine's calls for hearts and pink and ruffles and frills. Too much! Today, post-Valentine's day, I keep a hint of the Valentine's day frill with a pink velvet dress, but add some much needed edge to the outfit by layering on a studded black leather jacket and keeping the entire rest of the outfit black. Instead of my usual straightened hair, I instead went au natural and brushed through my curls to create the poufed look many of the fashion week runways are sporting.</div>

In virtually every collection during fashion week's Fall 2014 runways, along with an elegant gown came a shapeless sweater, trench, or polo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I'm not the biggest fan of solely shapeless, colorless outfits, I do think that combining a long masculine trench coat with a dress, an over-sized shapeless sweater with skinny jeans and heels, and sporting a bold brow and going bare on the lipstick can give one's outfits some edge.</div>

So I've been posting a flux of fashion editorials and photography lately. And while I do love a good editorial, I don't want to limit my blog to just that. So, soon I'll start posting some of my more carefully put together outfits. But, in the meantime, here are a few more pretty editorials to make your day a little less bland.</div>

I love the background. Nature's the purest form of beauty, and it's been a little neglected from the fashion industry lately.</div>

One aspect of the editorial I'm unhappy about: The sardonic use of fur coats in the midst of a forest setting(images which I decided not to include). Even if they're faux, it's not quite the image I think coincides with a forest, albeit the background has an eery, brooding tinge to it with the fog, the dark foliage, and the prickly rose bushes.</div>

Fashion is partly art, the human as the canvas. But in this situation, the women isn't just the canvas for fashion, but the canvas for beautiful fashion photography, presented like a statue. </div>

I absolutely love this editorial from Glamour France featuring Naomi Yang. I think it's quite clever how she is adorned in clothes that match her background or at least blend in to it with similar geometric patterns and the same color palette. </div>

It's February! And with February comes rain. And with the clouds and thunder, and the constant darkness, comes a desire for the sun, the heat, flowers, rainbows, and fairies. Well, not really. But sorta.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Say hello to the Kimono. A perfect accessory, the stylish shawl for mildly chilly nights when a nice zephyr blows your way. Stylish and bringing with them a touch of Asian fusion, Kimonos are the perfect touch to any free-spirit flowy spring outfit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few of my favorites:</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mb44AvmPV78/Uuyn9qJE24I/AAAAAAAABfw/zL2-dRcZyRM/s1600/nasty+gal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mb44AvmPV78/Uuyn9qJE24I/AAAAAAAABfw/zL2-dRcZyRM/s1600/nasty+gal.jpg" height="400" width="266" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Kimono from Nasty Gal</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am obsessed in particular with the white Kimono. Its sheer, dainty beauty contains an undertone of innocence in it.<br />
</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4tdMlQgBNtw/Uuyn-_3Hi0I/AAAAAAAABf4/4Lv93UaJgYk/s1600/17X13ENAV_2_thumb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4tdMlQgBNtw/Uuyn-_3Hi0I/AAAAAAAABf4/4Lv93UaJgYk/s1600/17X13ENAV_2_thumb.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Kimono from Topshop</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A dark Kimono is a bit more formal. It's ideal for a night out on town, the perfect cover up to an LBD.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Tqqu5GJyarE/UuyoBYQmsAI/AAAAAAAABgE/2WX_1U7TdPE/s1600/image1xl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Tqqu5GJyarE/UuyoBYQmsAI/AAAAAAAABgE/2WX_1U7TdPE/s1600/image1xl.jpg" height="320" width="250" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Asos</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And of course, with all the outdoor music festivals that the blissful spring weather brings about, is the floral Kimono. It's the perfect blend of 'boho' and 'flower child' to those that want to impersonate the stereotypical hipster at music festivals like Lollapalooza, Coachella, and Electric Daisy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't quite peg myself as a free spirit but I wouldn't mind wearing the carefree airy Kimono as it takes center stage as a major trend in Spring 2014.</div>

While doing some online shopping I noticed a pattern: cropped halter tops! They're going to be huge this summer. Goodbye goes the loose fitted crop top that's been fading the last couple of years, hello to sexy mystery. At a high neckline it stays modest, while showing the shoulders and the back, not to mention the stomach. </div>

As Elle Mexico accurately puts it, this photoshoot featuring Viktoriya Sasonkina was "Over the Top," but in the best way possible. It's fashion art. And, after all, isn't fashion simply art, with the body as the canvas?</div>

Upon walking onto the red carpet, the first thing one sees are your shoes. Gracefully, one leg slides out of the limousine. Next the other. And then your beautifully adorned body follows.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although the new black-tie event 'it' shoe isn't Cinderella's glass slipper, it's close: Metallic gold pumps. They go with virtually any dress, and are an emblem of classiness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Upon looking at the Spring 2014 collections, I noticed that metallic shoes were a huge pattern. Particularly, golden pumps kept showing up. Here are a few of the ones I found: </div>
