Runway Retrospective

Hey ladies, Cristina here with a new Runway Retrospective! Although this collection was presented for Spring 2013, I have been finding it totally inspiring through the fall months.

Miu Miu managed to work the unlikely duo of long coats and crop tops in a way that was simultaneously retro and modern. 

Am I going to be rocking super extra short bangs this season? Doubtful. But I will be trying this midi-length pencil skirt for a fresh silhouette and a flattering fit! And boy would I love some pink leather gloves to wear with my winter coat, wouldn't you?

This editorial from Elle France, featuring models Ataui Deng and Marihenny Rivera and photographed by Simon Burstall, is positively delightful. 

The bright hues (yellow shoes! pink blazer! mint green suit!) mixed with high energy and dare I say it, happiness - it's all so refreshing and feels of-the-moment. 

See the more images from the editorial here.

The beauty of this fall lookbook is that there is not a single solid black piece to be found! Coming from a serial offender of entirely black winter outfits, this is quite a feat. 

Cristina here with some colorful inspiration to guide you through fall and winter from J.Crew! In this inspiring collection of winter wear, there was not even one black boot to be found - did I mention how impressed I am? Here is proof that we don't have to kiss color goodbye in these cooler months!
