First Post!

Hello, readers! I am new to this whole style blogging thing, so I thought my first post should be about me and my personal style. It also happens to be New York Fashion Week (oh, how I wish I was there...) so, I thought I would share some of my favorite looks from the shows from the past few weeks so that you could get a feel for my personal style and taste. But first, I'll start off with a little introduction! My name is Mina and I'm a teen living in the Seattle area who has a passion for style...and politics. Those are my two true loves and I hope that someday I can do something involving both of them. (First Lady's personal stylist? First female president who rocks Valentino?) I don't have it all figured out yet, but this is a style blog, not a job interview right? Anyway, I would describe my personal style as whimsical and fun, yet modern. (Cat flats, anyone?) You'll rarely catch me out of skirts and dresses because I love to be girly. And yes, I'm THAT GIRL who wears heels to school. My ideal outfit would be a full, feminine skirt paired with a fitted tee, statement necklace and fun heels! Bottom line: I think the "dress for success" motto is true. When you look better, you feel better!

Alright, enough about me. Let's get to the fun stuff...

Tanya Taylor, Fall RTW 2014 
Tanya Taylor-
It was SO hard to pick just one look from this show. I absolutely love the mix of graphic and girly prints with fun neon details. This look is feminine, fun and flattering (the 3 essential F's!). I would wear this look on the street because it's just so stinkin' cute. The neon and fur details on the collar add a whimsical touch to the bold, black-and-white floral print.

ZAC Zac Posen, Fall RTW 2014

Black and white prints in feminine shapes seem to be very popular for fall ready to wear 2014...and I love it! The print is gorgeous and the full skirt and puffy sleeves make this look playful and different. I would wear this with a pair of bright pink pointy-toe heels, a sleek ponytail and a swipe of fuchsia lipstick. (Nars' "Funny Face" to be exact!)


Araks, Fall RTW 2014
Araks-
I love everything about this look. Especially the polka dot top and plaid skirt. To me, pattern mixing 
is all about fun...and what says "fun" more than polka dots? But, this look keeps from going over the top by keeping a muted color palette and simple silhouette. Perfect for fall!

Kate Spade NY, Fall RTW 2014
Kate Spade NY-
You wanna talk about fun? Kate Spade is your girl. Words cannot describe how much I love this collection. It's safe to say that Kate Spade is my spirit animal. The 2014 fall ready to wear collection is full of neons and fun patterns...it's like a wearable candy store! This look is one of my favorites because of the bow appliqué coat and the adorable neon pink leopard tuxedo top. LOVE LOVE LOVE. 



Thank you all for reading my first post and stay tuned for more NYFW reviews!
