Timo Weiland: RTW Fall 2013.

Timo Weiland's runway show for NY Fashion Week was earlier today. I watched it live and it was pretty enjoyable. The main colors of the show were black and white, pops of vibrant red and army green, and oxblood. Yes, oxblood will be back in action in F/W 2013 as well.

I like the oxblood and grey striped crisscross dress. And the army green sweatshirt (which you can see below) with the large cow print is quite adorable. I spot a trend with that cow print...Givenchy also used the cow print in their F/W 2013 collection.

My favorite outfit, by far, is the gorgeous green dress with the thigh high black boots. When she came-a-walking, a young sir like myself was quite happy. It is so my style. Dresses all around were great though.

Oh and sidenote, the DJ/Emcee was getting hella crunk randomly on the sideline. Did anybody else notice her? Anddd why is Timo so adorable with his broken arm and extra curly hair?

Peep highlights from today's show below:

BCBG Max Azria Fall 2013.

I loved literally EVERYTHING about this show. The models were all gorgeous and the clothes....oy vey! I loved the beanies. They make the look so youthful and modern and hip. Bravo.

There were beanies for every single model in black, grey, and tan. The main shoe/boot was absolutely fabulous. If I owned that shoe, I'd probably never take it off. I'd wear it to work, the grocery store, while doing the dishes, hell I'd wear them to bed. It looks like a traditional black stiletto fused with a thigh high black leather boot that zips down the side. There's also an oxblood version.

New H&M Digs: Maison Martin Margiela x H&M Dress, Quilted Oxblood Top, and more.

One of the best stores to shop at for trendy clothes at a decent price is H&M.
Now if only you could order online...then it would be serious trouble for everyone's wallet.
I picked these up around the New Year, and they're some of my favorite new things.

1. Large statement necklace with a black, green, and yellow color combination.
This necklace warms my heart. When I saw it, I knew I had to have it, and apparently I wasn't the only one. I don't know if the sales associate was trying to spread some holiday cheer or what not, but she certainly gave me her employee discount for no reason...other than the fact she was really excited I was buying this necklace. #schwing. It was $35, which was a tad more than I'd normally pay for a necklace, but I mean, look at it.

2. Quilted oxblood top. 
Oxblood was a choice color this F/W. It's a rich, unusual, and a little harsh, but I love it. I really appreciated quilted things this season as well, so this top was the perfect mixture.

3. Maison Martin Margiela trompe l'oeil evening dress from S/S '96.
[Trompe l'oeil is the art of using realistic imagery to create a 3D illusion.] Anybody that follows this blog knows how I felt about the Maison Martin Margiela H&M collab: Hella excited. Finally got my hands on a piece of the collection (this is actually my second piece, but the first that I decided to keep. I got the bodysuit first) and I'm really happy about this choice. It's a floor length evening dress with the image of a grey sequins dress printed on it. And it's cool because you are indeed quite casual, but it looks hella fancy.  I like it because it's perfect for all weather and is versatile.

4. (Mens) Love + Regret color block tee 
While I was shopping it up, I grabbed a simple color-block tee for my boy. He keeps it quite fashionable too. So for the winter, this will most likely be paired with a zip up hoodie, maybe maroon or navy.

He Might Wear Something Like This...

1.Camo Pocket Pullover  2.Diamond Supply Mint and Black Snapback 3.Quilted Hooded Vest   4.Diemme Ghepardino Pony  5.Oxblood Coated Jeans  6.Faux Leather and Denim Backpack

*Thinks to self*  I've waited far too long to style outfits for men.

Here we have an outfit that's mainly neutral, but the oxblood and pop of mint keeps it spicy.
Yea I really just said spicy (don't judge).

If you haven't realized by now, I like interesting outfits.
I don't want to wear anything or recommend anything that I don't personally think is cool...
And I cosign all of these.

Another thing is the whole outfit, minus the $500 shoes, is affordable.
Would you wear this?

Rising Trend: Oxblood

1. Alexander McQueen Clutch 2. RGB Nail Polish 3. Alexy Chelsea Boots 4. Alexander Wang Lizard Print Tote  5. Alexander McQueen Boyfriend Tee-Sold Out 6. F21 Over The Knee Socks 7. Fairisle Band Flippy Dress 8. H&M Leather Skirt

Oxblood you say? Why would I want to wear something called "oxblood"? Ok, I admit, the color oxblood does not sound flattering at all, but it can be quite elegant. A great color to accent oxblood with is blue, as you can see Miroslava Duma wearing above. It adds a feminine touch to oxblood and a certain richness.
