Nicholas K sent their fall/winter 2017/2018 collection down the New York Fashion Week runway today at The Skylight Clarkson in New York. The collection, “Built from Scratch” took inspiration from the cultural climate in the 1990s.
With a live performance by DJ Rob Swift Feat and Latasha Alcindor, Nicholas K created an ambiance which spoke of revolution, diversity, and political militancy. The music combined with the collection took us back to a decade which promised communal diversity, unity, and community advocacy.
The fall 2017 collection stayed true to Nicholas K’s brand with sophisticated yet effortless draping, flowing fabrications, and a luxurious vibe; yet fused it together with a more urban, hip-hop influenced aesthetic. The result is luxury with a bit of street cred. Love that!
I fell in love with the pale beige, luxurious velvet, and fabulous gold coats! Nicholas K has outdone themselves for fall 2017, this is a collection to covet for the fall season.

Today I am on a plane to New York Fashion Week. As we prepare for fashion week, we are still experiencing the winter 2017 season; although stores are already showing us spring 2017, starting tomorrow, we will learn all about fall 2017. Isn’t it amazing how the fashion calendar works?
We already know Greenery is the color of 2017, so as we look towards the new, upcoming trends of fall 2017, we can rest assured there should be some Greenery on the fall 2017 runways. But which trends from last fall will survive? Which new trends for the upcoming spring 2017 will prove to be lasting?
The current spring 2017 trends which are already proving popular on the street include statement earrings, denim, athleisure, mini bags, anything Gucci (which, to be frank, we can only find on Gucci’s runway haha), shades of blue, shades of pink, pale or grey nail polish, vampy or beige lipstick, and slides. Will these trends continue on the fall 2017 runway?
Last fall, we saw huge trends in lace-up sweaters, bell sleeves, creepers, saddle bags, 1990s influence, 1970s influence, and block heels. Will any of these consumer favorites continue in the upcoming fall 2017 season?
We will have the answers to these questions and more starting tomorrow! Which trends from last year would you like to see continue? Are there any trends you hope stay off the runways, and the streets? Leave a comment below and start the discussion!
Last week, I was thrilled to attend Kendra Scott’s spring 2017 collection launch party at her Santana Row shop. In addition to launching her new spring collection, Kendra Scott also donated 20% of her proceeds from the event to local charity YWCA Silicon Valley. Love!
The event was really fun, and I had a chance to hang out with two other local bloggers who are super fun to chat with; Dawn from Fashion Should Be Fun, and Cheryl from Oh To Be A Muse. They both have fabulous style, be sure you are following them too!
Kendra Scott’s spring 2017 collection included pieces which will be easy to wear with the spring 2017 color palette. There is turquoise, blue, rose gold, crackle brown pearl, and ivory pearl set in antique silver. The collection is so amazing! This is my favorite piece from the collection.
This necklace is definitely on my spring wish list! I also have my eyes on this beautiful cuff. Not sure which color I want! They are all so pretty! Here are a few of my favorites from Kendra Scott’s spring collection:
While I was at the party, I did indulge in purchasing two rings from the spring collection. I knew I needed rings to wear right now, so they are perfect for winter into spring transition style. I purchased this ring in crackle brown pearl and crackle blue agate.
Of course, sometimes you picture the perfect piece and it does not exist! Well, I did get a chance to play around at the event on the Color Bar. The Color Bar is fabulous because you can pick the design, the metal color, and the stone color yourself. They will create your design right there in front of your eyes, and you get to take it home with you that day! I designed the Alex earrings in silver and blue. They are so pretty!

Since the weather has been cool yet sunny, I was able to wear this beautiful suede coat by Thacker NYC to the event. The coat is actually part of an outfit I have planned for NYFW, but it is so beautiful, and versatile, I felt compelled to wear it early. This coat is a great capsule wardrobe piece. It can be worn during fall, winter, and spring. The coat can be worn dressy or casual. I am going to have fun showing you different ways to wear this coat; so stay tuned!
You can learn more about Thacker NYC online here. If you are looking for the perfect jewelry pieces to wear now into spring, the Kendra Scott spring 2017 collection will have what you are looking for! Be sure to check out Kendra Scott’s spring 2017 collection online here.
