Every lovely lady is looking forward to that amazing day when they are the beautiful bride. The wedding day is one of the most pivotal days in a woman's life . Planning every single detail is extremely important because this is the day that she will not forget. Every little detail of the wedding from the dress to the location needs to ensure that this day is memorable.

Intricate details are just as important as the "big things" on your wedding day. Although accessories are seemingly small they are a huge deal especially when talking about your wedding ring. The wedding ring may be one of the smallest items on your wedding day but it is the biggest item of importance. Brides long for a sparkling stone that will cause her hands to be the marvel of all.

Lately many are using unconventional locations and unconventional decorations for their wedding receptions. Thanks to Pinterest, rustic, old vintage looking weddings are now beginning to take over the fairy tale wedding ideals. Mason jars are the new wine glasses, lights and used for a plethora of other things as well.

I do not think that anyone is as excited for Spring as I am! Over here at Why I Wear Skirts we want to be just as ready for Spring as we were for Winter and we want all our lovely readers to be ready as well. Spring time is time to bring out the brighter colors and luscious pastel tones. With all of these fashion decisions to make, finding the right hand candy is very important.

A nice way to spruce up the visuals of your eye candy is to find some nail polish in a color that is a nice contrasting color to your bag. The contrasting colors between the bag and your nail color is sure to be an eye catcher. We recommend trying bright colors that pop, try using a bright contrasting color on a bright contrasting color for super pop.

I highly recommend that you purchase a pastel tone bag as a homage to the spring time spirit of warm bright tones. Put away your dark winter bags and brighten up your closet in every area including your tote. You can find various types of bags from clutches to large totes in almost any pastel color. Here are an array of wonderful pastel colored totes pictured below, which one do you prefer?

Spring is just around the corner for all my warm weather loving fashionistas! It is time to bring out the bright clothing and put away the sweaters and stockings. A time to get bold by wearing color and bright prints. Floral print has always been the signature print for Spring time. The flowers start blooming all around us and our clothes tag along as well.

Thanks to Pinterest, I am discovering that there are so many innovative ways to use flowers. They are not just for clothing prints but can be incorporated into innovative lifestyle projects that can be used to spruce up your home décor and a plethora of other projects as well. Flowers can be used both in your home and apparel in exquisite ways. I have been so inspired just by the beauty of flowers in general and I admire their versatility.

Designers are not just using floral prints anymore but flowers have literally become 3D on your clothing. You can now touch your clothing and feel the flowers or even touch your hair to feel a similar effect. So get out of your comfort zone and get bold this Spring by wearing flowers, not just the print but literally.

Our Picks from NYFW 2015

Novis


Novis chose to use mostly soft pastel tones in their collection. Usually Autumn/Winter collections tend to shy away from pastels and lean towards rich fall tones such as oranges and olives. I absolutely love the way Novis chose to style their Fashion Week pieces. Wearing heels with socks adds a dash of funk to a classy look, I recommend that all our bold and daring fashionistas try this concept. Hats are also essential for this Autumn/Winter. Many Fashion Week designers incorporated various headpieces from hats to veils in their looks. It seems as if veils have worked their way into becoming the new hats?

Adam Lippes




By using simple and modern pieces with slightly abstract contouring, Adam Lippes created clean designs. The collection was a combination of colors from clean, white, brights to dark, black and rich colors. Rich floral prints invigorated the pieces. I absolutely love that you can mix and match almost any of the pieces from this collection and still have a high fashion, fresh off the runway look.

ICB


ICB's Autumn/Winter ready to wear collection was filled with bright colors as well as dark gray tones. Silks and knits were used as fabric for the clothing. These contrasting knits added depth to the physical feel of the collection. The knits were abstract in shape, creating unconventional sweaters that are sure to spice up your winter sweater collection. Almost once again sneaker heels prove to make a comeback!

Fashion week, where have you been? We have been waiting for you! I hope you enjoyed some of our favorite's from New York Fashion Week 2015.
