Mary Katrantzou ... Printed Genius

Mary, Mary, Mary .... Mary Katrantzou! I am a huge fan of her designs, to me she is a printed genius. I love her unique bold and graphic eye-catching prints. When you .. or at least when I see a Mary Katrantzou piece I immediately know it's her. At only 28 years young Mary has definitely made a name for herself in fashion. Her first Ready-To-Wear Collection debuted at London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2009 and with only 9 pieces in her collection she was able to pick up 15 prestigious stockist. From there she flourished. Now Mary (I know I'm saying her name as if I know her, but in my head I we're besties) has over 100 stockist and many celebs wearing her fashion such as Jessica Alba, Beyonce, Keira Knightly and Sarah Jessica Parker just to name a few.

I love that she finds inspiration in perfume bottles, artisan blown glass and 18th century portraiture paintings. Her fashion is walking art and I look forward to seeing more of her designs in the near future. You go girl!

TRENDING: Short Suits

I've been seeing short suits everywhere, from the runways to the red carpet. This Spring you can expect to see them in bold patterns, colors and designs.With that being said, you are sure to see a lot more legs coming out, hopefully everyone prepared by hitting the gym in the winter months, lol! I'm so on board with short suit trend. Instead of going out and buying a pricey short suit I plan on mixing and matching some blazers and shorts that are already in the my closet. On another note, I'm so looking forward to the Prabal Gurung for Target Collection in February. I am eyeing the floral printed blazer, tee and shorts, as seen the the last picture below. Hopefully I will make it to Target before it's sold out. What do you guys thing about the short suit trend, will you be on board this Spring? Stay Fashionable!

J.W. Anderson A/W 2013 @ London Fashion Week

J.W. Anderson is known for his androgynous collections, so it should be no shock that the men were coming down the runway in mini skirts @ his London Fashion Week A/W 2013 show. The pieces were tailored to perfection with ruffled hemmed skits, short shirts, sleek side parted hair and pin stripped peplum pants? I'm not sure if that's the correct term for them, but when I first saw them that's the the first word that came to mind. I am really loving the ruffled hemmed boots though! Johnathan Williams Anderson (J.W. Anderson) studied at the London College of Fashion . J.W. Anderson the Collection was launched in 2008 with a Menswear Collection. This was later followed by a Women's Collection in 2010 which received raved reviews. Alexa Chung is a big fan of the designer. While I'd only want my man to wear the tailored pants I still love his collection. He is not afraid to explore the the relationship between boy and girl and it a mean tailorist (is that a word
