Though I was not able to attend all of Vancouver Fashion
Week, I was able to make my way to the fashionable week-long event on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. This was the first year I’ve been able to attend VFW and I
must say, what an amazing thing to get to experience! Quickly, I learned that
VFW 2014 (on the runway and the street) was all about carefree bold style – the kind that makes me swoon, and shop!
SHEER:
Nearly every collection at VFW was filled with pieces that
were either entirely sheer or had sheer paneling integrated into the look in
some way. I love sheer clothing as it adds an unexpected element to a look!
These are a few of my favourite wearable pieces from this trend:

Cut
Out detailing has been one of my favourite trends this past summer and I am so
thrilled the trend is here to stay. I love how the look of a simple
white t-shirt can be elevated by intricate cut-outs, and how a classic LBD is
updated by perforated details. Here are a few affordable and wearable pieces so
you can rock the spunky trend too:

During my first night at VFW it was already very clear that clean
pairings of black and white were going to be taking over the runway. I’ve
always been a huge fan of simple black and white combinations so I’m thrilled
that one of my most loved (and most worn) looks is so on-trend this year!
!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + ‘://’ + ‘widgets.rewardstyle.com’ + ‘/js/shopthepost.js’;d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === ‘object’) if(d.readyState === ‘complete’) {window.__stp.init();}}(document, ‘script’, ‘shopthepost-script’);

CROPPED:
Though
originally I was skeptical of the crop-top trend, over the last few months I’ve
discovered that they can style quite beautifully and even elegantly when styled
with the correct pieces. In particular, I’ve loved pairing cropped tops paired
with high-waist pieces to achieve a playfully polished look. My original hesitation to the trend was from memories
of the 1990’s (high tops and low jeans) but by pairing a crop with a higher
waist skirt or pair of trousers, the look has more of a pretty “peek-a-boo” effect.

Looks like an amazing experience.
That black ball gown looking dress is fantastic!
