NYFW Day 2: Nicole Miller

Greetings from the absolutely frigid New York! Todays post is all #NYFW and I'm so excited about that fact. I was lucky enough to get to go to Nicole Miller's AW15 Show on Friday Night at Lincoln Center. I got to sit second row so the view was incredible.

My View!

I really liked the show, which was entitled 'Midnight Forest' and took its inspiration from mythic arts illustrations (scenes from folklore and fairytales, etc.). 

 

I loved the elements of darkness and fantasy, which really made her collection stand out among other designers who did similar things. The collection was full of shearling coats, ripped stockings, wide leg pants, and embellished blouses and dresses; making for an absolutely magical show. Check out all the looks in HQ here.

The finale dress, so breathtaking

She embraced the trends of wide leg pants that's sure to be a staple for Autumn.

NYFW Essentials

Happy Fashion Week lovelies! I'm so excited for this year's season of shows. I'm also so pumped because I'll get to attend a show or two because of my job. Here are a few essentials that I'll definitely be bringing along with me. The first are makeup essentials; matte powder (to keep the shine away if you're running to shows), concealer, and mascara. Next up are my fashion favorites. I think that black boots are such a great addition to my wardrobe for NYFW because they're so versatile. Paired with a big floppy hat, they'll go perfectly. Lastly, be sure to pack a scarf since it'll be cold and pop your favorite sunglasses in a across the shoulder bag (plus your wallet, obviously).

Which shows are you excited about seeing?

Caped Crusader

I've been having a cape moment. AKA I've been sort of obsessing over these gorgeous capes from Topshop. I put together two cute outfits to go with my favorite capes from Topshop. I love that you can dress them up or down and they're just so easy to throw on over jeans!

Are you feeling the cape obsession too?

New Years Eve Dress Picks

 I think this is one of the best times of the year to wear pretty dresses. Something sparkly, feminine, and gorgeous is appropriate to help bring in the New Year.

Here are my picks for the perfect New Years Eve dress! {from left to right}

 First up is this Scatter Sequin Dress from Warehouse. It has the perfect amount of sparkle for the Holiday, plus it fits any figure beautifully {My friend owns it and loves it!}

This bright Art Spot Dress from Oasis is a bit unexpected for the holiday, as we often go for muted colors with sparkle, but is beautiful. Pairing it with tights and pumps will dress it up for that extra oomph of glamour!

If you live in a cold climate, long sleeved dresses are a great pick. I love this gorgeous Sequined Dress from H&M. It's great all year round, but the long sleeves make it more appropriate for Winter!

This gorgeous Foil Pleated Slip Dress from Topshop has been on my wish list ever since I first saw it come on the website. It's so lovely and dainty, and perfect for New Years Eve parties and celebrations!

A bit more pricy, but beautiful, is this Limited Edition Mirror Embellished Slip Dress from Topshop. I think it's insanely gorgeous and so sparkly and glittery for celebrating the New Year!

More sparkle for the New Year is in this completely affordable Sequined Dress from H&M. It's only about $30 and is a bit different, bringing in that 20's vibe with the color and fringe!

One of my favorite picks is this Faux Leather Dress from Zara, which is a bit more sophisticated and formal for the New Year. I am definitely lusting over this!

Another gorgeous dress from H&M to add to the list is this cream, Sleeveless Dress, which adds sparkle while also being subdued and natural. 

My last pick is this insanely lovely and intricate Net Fitted Dress from Topshop. I not only want to wear this dress to any New Years Party, but also everyday of my life! It's beautiful!

Casual + Cats

Hi guys! I thought I'd bring you an outfit post today and I'm once again living up to the 'Meow' in my blog name. I seem to go for a lot of clothes that have cats on them, even though I'm probably more of a dog person when I think about it.

Today's outfit is super casual, cute, and comfortable; three of my favorite words to describe my fashion sense. 

I just ordered the shirt off ASOS and it was only around $8. It's a gorgeous peplum top, with cute pastel cats all over it. It's a woven fabric, so it's incredibly breathable and comfortable, which makes sense because it's actually a pajama top! I know, I know, SHOCKING!? Probably not, it's a bit obvious when you notice its super casual and sleepy vibe. 

Sometimes I think it's fun to mix it up with what you wear and this is definitely a way to mix it up. A lot of the time, cute pajama tops or bottoms can double as part of your everyday wardrobe. 

I paired it with my favorite Boyfriend Jeans from Uniqlo and then my Steve Madden Espradrilles.

 It's not the most 'wintry' outfit, but I don't always want to dress in dark colors when it's cold; it's fun to mix it up!

Shirt: ASOS | Pants: Uniqlo | Shoes: Steve Madden | Lipstick: MAC 'Whirl' Lip Liner | Earrings: Forever 21

I hope you liked this outfit today, I know I did. Especially because this shirt is so appropriate for me as I blog on Meow Emily :)

Sunday Style: A Chunky Sweater

Happy Sunday! I've only got a few days left of the semester and I've been studying hard for finals but today I'm bringing you another outfit, featuring one of my favorites sweaters. It's a chunky orange knit sweater and it's perfectly warm and comfortable for the cold winter, while also being casual.

The sweater is a bit out of my comfort zone, as I tend to go for very dark sweaters and cardigans, but I think the pop of the orange is exciting and something different. I also love the fact that the back of the sweater zips completely down, which makes it a bit more unique than a normal sweater. I've also worn the sweater with the zipper facing the front, with a white camisole underneath, and it looks great!

I paired the sweater with Uniqlo Boyfriend Jeans, some Steve Madden Espadrilles, and my favorite chunky Forever 21 flower earrings.

Sunday Style: A New Black Dress

Black dresses are my absolute weakness and in Winter, I find myself wearing them almost every other day.

My newest black dress is this Tribal Bead Necklace Crepe Dress from eShakti. The site lets you customize what you order, in almost every way possible. That means that you can input your measurements and even decide what sleeve length you want. It's truly a fantastic feeling knowing that whatever you've picked from their site will fit you perfectly and make you feel comfortable!

I love how it turned out and thank them for sending me this wonderful product. I can definitely give it my 100% recommendation because the fit turned out wonderfully and makes me feel comfortable and beautiful. (All my roommates ooh'ed and ahh'ed when they first saw me in it, that must be a good sign)

I decided to show you guys two different ways I style it. One is the more dressed up version, which would be great to wear out with friends to dinner or to a show. The second look is more casual, one that I'd wear to grab lunch or go to class in.

Dressed Up

Dressing up means simple and classic. I added heels and a blazer and gave myself a pretty brown smoky eye to achieve this look. I didn't need to add any accessories to this because the detailing around the neckline is fabulous and is the star of the dress. 

This dress has major twirlage - a definite plus for me

 

Blazer: Forever 21 (similar style) | Dress: eShakti | Shoes: J.C. Penney (similar style) |  Lipstick: Rimmel Show Off Lip Laquer in 'Nude Eclipse' 

Dressed Down

It's so easy to dress this down, so all I did was add a kimono and pop on some cute black boots. I think it looks funky and cute, and definitely unique.

Kimono: Warehouse (similar style) | Dress: eShakti | Shoes: H&M |  Lipstick: Rimmel Show Off Lip Laquer in 'Nude Eclipse'

Polka Dotted Dress

 Here's my outfit from a few days ago which I really loved. It was a morning I was super tired and was running late to work but it all came together in a really cute way. (and super flattering!)
