Since September, every inch of my social media has been devoured by the fashion-month parade. From the designers and brands to the critics and the editors I follow, it’s like getting a play-by-play of every happening on and off the runways. While so much fashion in your face all at once can definitely get overwhelming, it’s also hugely exciting—just think about it. We finally get to see the culmination of months of conceptualizing and creating. The pieces and styling on the runways now will affect what we’ll see and what we’ll be wearing months from now. 

Admittedly, the fashion-week buzz has also greatly influenced my own shopping habits. And when Instagram is constantly directing you to street style images on your Explore Page, it’s kind of hard to resist the urge. The items below show the effect of fashion month’s influence (as you can probably deduce by the dramatic flair of each piece). I’ve been in the mood for high-impact, statement-making clothes and accessories that instantly grab people’s attention, which lots of Loewe pieces, sequin dresses, and lace opera gloves will certainly help do. To see the full list of items that made it into my cart, keep scrolling.
