Elle Runway at STYLE360 Spring 2015While I attended a few shows during Fashion Week, one of my absolute favorites was the ELLE Runway Collection by Kohl's. No, not just because I love the affordability of Kohl's, but this collection was showcasing the Fall 2014 line, which means everything is available right now. Unlike other shows, there's no need to wait until spring!The Elle collection had a Parisian influence with tons of black and wide, feminine skirts and dainty prints. Check out a few behind the scenes shots of the runway show, as well as a few of my favorite looks you can shop now.

how to wear black and whiteLast week I showed you the 5 wardrobe staples to buy at thrift stores, and this week it's all about the trends. Every season the runways of New York, Paris and London dictate what's in and what's out for the coming months. And though everyone clamors for what's "new," some of these trends are simply revamped classics that are just having a moment. Like seriously, when is leather not on trend?And this is a great thing if you're in to {or want to get in to thrifting}. If you're not willing to invest in a trend, the secondhand store is a great option, but also, since fashion is so cyclical, you'll find many of the "new" trends at your Goodwill, Salvation Army or your thrift store of choice.Check out three easy to find and easy to wear trends you can score from a thrift store.

What I wore to fashion week, Loehmann's
I had a general idea of what I would wear during Fashion Week. When I know I have a lot of running around to do and when the temps are in the teens, I usually stick with my trusty skinny jeans and a few statement pieces. So I went for a mixture of new threads {studded top and neon and animal print shoes} from Loehmann's and some thrifted add-ons, like my Hudson jeans from the Housing Works Buy the Bag sale and vintage clip-on earrings.
But then the dilemma moved to what to wear over my outfit? A blah coat can totally ruin any look, but I knew exactly what I could rock for a standout style.

Loehmann's, department store, discount department storeFashion Week is officially over in New York City and that means we know what to items will be hot for fall. We've seen a ton of the trends already {leather, fur, velvet, etc.} but the upcoming season has a few hot pieces that will inject serious style in to your wardrobe.

But if you don't want to wait for fall to rock these styles and if you don't have a designer budget, that's not a problem. Loehmann's is known for their discount designer prices {up to 65 percent off retail!} and you can actually shop right now for spring and summer items that incorporate fall's upcoming trends.

Last year, the it color was oxblood. Though the name is absolutely horrible, the color is gorgeous. And it looks like we'll see more oxblood and deep berry hues. It was on every runway from Narciso Rodriguez to Anna Sui to Diane von Furstenburg.
And it's easy to incorporate this look with some picks from Loehmann's.
