Michael Kors Fall 2017: Runway to Real Way

Take style cues from the Michael Kors Fall 2017 runway show in this monochromatic gray power look.
The Michael Kors Fall 2017 Runway Show showed off a woman who was both powerful and playful. Just take this gray monochromatic look - the chunky knits and tailored yet relaxed pants show power, but that chopped off sleeve is quirky and definitely unexpected!

Taking a cue from the runway, I put together a real way look you can wear right now with pieces from H&M, including some split front booties that look very similar to some shoes shown on the Michael Kors runway - and ours are under $50!

Add a cashmere scarf for that luxe touch and you'll be ready for your own boss moment. What shows are you loving at NYFW so far?

Kim Kardashian's Multi-Colored Fur Coat and Over-the-Knee Boots Look for Less

Shop Kim Kardashian's multi-color fur coat, hooded sweatshirt and over-the-knee boots look for less.
Winter isn't over yet, and Kim Kardashian is giving us major statement-coat envy with her multi-colored fur coat in on-trend shades of gray, white and blush pink.

The long-hair-don't-care trendsetter styled kept the rest of her look streamlined, pairing a gray hooded sweatshirt with leggings and stiletto over-the-knee boots in black.

A structured croc satchel and oversized sunglasses finish this look that blends sporty athleisure separates with lavish, hi-life essentials.

I think you'll love the faux fur coat by Topshop we found that's in the same color palette as Kim's coat but much more wearable for everyday - and probably costs thousands less that her topper!

Old Navy Spring 2017 Lookbook

See the Old Navy Spring 2017 Lookbook
Earlier I shared in-store pics of the latest spring styles at Old Navy, and now you can see them as styled for the Spring 2017 Lookbook (which was too big to share in its entirety, but these highlights should give you a plenty of inspiration!)

It's all about playful optimism with classics updated in bright colors, greenhouse charm (florals, ruffles, and embroidery) and a nod to all-things-nautical.

There are plenty of off-the-shoulder tops and dresses, fun graphic details, bold prints, and even stain resistant white denim to freshen your look.

You know I'm already a huge fan of this "Bon Voyage" sweatshirt, and this pineapple sweater got a lot of love from all of you on Instagram.

I'm also already plotting ways to wear colored denim now and later...always a sucker for mint skinnies, and how fun are the strawberry dust and yellow squash hues?!

I don't know about you but I'm pinning a bunch of these for styling ideas! Are you loving Old Navy's spring collection?
