I'm in my last week of school before February break (thank god for New England public school schedules) and teachers have taken the coming break as a reason to pile on work this week. Unfortunately this means I haven't spent as much time watching shows (online of course, in my dreams I'm sitting front row) and street style from fashion week as I've wanted to.

 I did get the change today to look at pictures from some shows, though. I read somewhere a few months ago that the time of patterns being the highlight in fashion was coming to an end, but I beg to differ. The one thing I keep seeing in Fall 2013 collections is crazy patterns and colors. I loved the gothic equestrian vibe from Alive and Olivia. Lela Rose was filled with bright colors and great cuts, like the peplum top above.

 A usual favorite of mine, JCrew, was of course stunning. However, JCrew seems to have taken a turn to darker pieces with much different patterns. Maybe it is just because I've seen so much of the spring collection recently, but something just fell different about this collection. Definitely good different though. If you haven't seen the rest of the collection you can see it here. 

I'm counting down the hours until Friday and dreaming about being in New York instead of in school!
