Ever Ivy is a fabulous brand designed by San Francisco Bay Area designer Liliana Ventura and made right here in California. I love how the pieces take inspiration from our culturally diverse and politically complicated landscape. The day-into-evening collection features neutrals and prints made from soft fabrics; which are not only nice to the touch, but incredibly comfortable!

I absolutely love the Audrey Dress by Ever Ivy worn in the photos above. There is a “1960’s meets modern day vibe” to the dress which makes it easy to wear with current accessories. This dress is perfect for a date night with my husband, or a girls night out! When the weather cools down as we move towards winter, the Audrey Dress by Ever Ivy will look amazing paired with tights and lug soled high heels. I’m looking forward to wearing it in different ways according to the occasion and weather!

The Academy of Art showed their spring/summer 2015 collections on September 6, 2014 at New York Fashion Week. The Academy of Art collections are near and dear to my heart. When I was a student at the University of San Francisco, I knew a lot of students who attended the Academy of Art and their work was always inspirational. I was mesmerized by their talent and how art was shaping the future. To see the Academy of Art’s collection presented live, across the country in New York for fashion week, isn’t only a treat, it is a proud Bay Area moment!

The spring/summer 2015 collections from Academy of Art, once again, push the boundaries of what we wear and how we wear it. The collections showed tonal dressing, mixes of texture, layers (a huge trend on the runways for 2015!) and longer hemlines (another huge trend!).

I wish my photos were better, but my seat was at a bad picture taking angle. To view the collection in its’ entirety, please watch the IMG Fashion video below.

Just like last season, I want to get my hands on the cozy sweaters from Academy of Art’s runway! I wish I could just walk into a store a buy one, but alas, I cannot. What is your favorite look from the Academy of Art runway?
