Hello everyone! Once again, apologies for disappearing. The husband was on business in Belfast so I decided to join him there (my sister tagged along too!) after which we were driving around the Republic of Ireland exploring the Irish countryside. Between driving around in areas with almost no connectivity to trying to keep up to date with the New York fashion week shows (all thanks to the style.com application on my cool new Iphone) there's been literally no time. Tonight is my last night in Ireland and I am in Dublin where there's no connectivity issue thanks to wifi at the hotel so I thought I would do a quick run up on 4 of the most prominent trends (and my favorite too) on the New York runways.
1.The midriff baring tops. Too 90's you say? I doubt it. Almost every designer showcased at least one midriff baring/cropped tops so i say its time to get cracking on those crunches to show off a flat tummy by the time next summer is here.

2. Snow White and the .... This season, there was an abundance of white silhouettes throughout the shows showing that white (check out the Jason Wu show for head to toe white silhouettes, they are FABULOUS) is one of the strongest trends for SS 14. Some designers also reinterpreted the classic white shirt in numerous ways; with patches of sheer in between, laser cuts, shirt dresses, etc. I have always loved the simple white shirt and I am loving these cool new reinterpretations even more.

3. The sporty aesthetic. Spring 2012 saw a major sporty trend in high fashion and this is continuing well into SS 14. From sweatshirts to varsity style sweaters, the sporty look is definitely not for the tomboys anymore. Whoever says fashion can't be comfortable?!

| L-R: Ralph Lauren, Alexander Wang, Prabal Gurung, Micheal Kors |
4. Pastels always lighten up the SS runways every year and this year was no different. Minty green, powder pink and baby blues were seen in a lot of the silhouettes.

| L-R: Tadashi Shoji, Pamella Roland, Prabal Gurung, Victoria Beckham |
Of course these weren't the only trends but I do need to leave something for London, Milan and Paris fashion weeks! Bisous Bisous!
