As we took our seats by the runway and noticed our girl crush, Lauren Conrad , next to us, we knew right away it was going to be a major, major show. As the lights went down and the bass started pumping, the first model in her white button-front blouse and skinny, slightly flared trousers set the tone for the entire collection — "tropical white."
What we saw
White, white and more white. Watching Ms. Minkoff’s show made us feel like we were being transported from the busy New York City streets and landing on some sort of glorious island. Everything from the all-white ensembles to the pastels with faded tropical prints screamed breezy-chic.
Our favorite piece
The overalls! We literally drooled over Minkoff’s interpretation of the hot ‘90s trend. One side colorful, one side white, with one strap undone — perfection. We hope to see this trend on the streets everywhere come spring!
What to buy this season
The dress:
While we adore the designer’s massive array of colorful and super-stylish bags, we’re currently obsessing over this black studded dress. Why? You can wear this staple anywhere! Cover the stud detailing with a cream blazer for the office, and then whip off for a night out with the girls.
Here’s what we would pair with this edgy, yet sophisticated frock. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
