Because we live in a day of lightening fast updates and immediate information, the Spring 2014 shows just wrapped up in New York, but we haven't even actually hit fall yet. To pull us back from the future, here are a few of my favorite Fall 2013 looks (which showed in February).

My favorite color, leopard, was big.
(all Burberry Prorsum except for center image-Wren)

Leather is everywhere.
(L to R: 3.1 Phillip Lim, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Zero+Maria Cornejo, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Helmut Lang)

Gold belts are sticking around.
(L to R: Balmain, Day Birger and Mikkelsen, Balmain, Burberry Prorsum)

Per usual, there were lots of jewel tones, but cobalt and navy blue are definitely taking precedence over other shades.

Lovely patterns and textures.
(L to R: Alice+Olivia, Day Birger and Mikkelsen, Jill Stuart, Alice+Olivia, Wren)

Minimalism continues its slow return from the 90's.

I'm excited for fall and for the weather to allow me to wear more than a tank top - are you?
