Orange Rules

In honor of MS Awareness Week and because we are oh so looking forward to Spring, we have turned our style eye to all things orange! I thought we should start with Monique Lhuillier, who made a HUGE statement with these two looks from the Spring 2014 collection.

Christian Siriano keeps it red carpet ready...

...and Tommy Hilfiger shows us that "all orange everything" can truly be an everyday look.

Now, let's chat for a moment. What exactly do you know about MS? Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. This means, for some women who suffer with the disease, the ability to strut down a catwalk or unfortunately, even a sidewalk could become particularly difficult. However, studies of people living with multiple sclerosis have shown that exercise can help with fatigue and depression, it can improve strength, and result in increased participation in social activities. So I say, strut on sister! And why not do it in these fabulous Diane von Furstenberg heels?

I've personally learned quite a bit about MS over the past few years...that's what happens when someone very close to you is diagnosed with the disease. To that point, I would like to challenge all of my readers to donate to this years MS walk in North Carolina via Dannie's Dolls! She's already getting tons of coverage about her MS journey so naturally, it's our pleasure to show ours as well!

Because everything we do at StyleMayvin is centered around true style and to keep in line with the orange rules theme, we believe that the essence of a women is not in the clothes she wears but in her ability to live life to the fullest, no matter what circumstances she has been dealt. Now don't get me wrong, we love clothes. In fact, where we would we be without them? I'd say, naked. So, I think we would be remiss we failed to point out this level of fabulousness from the Joanna Mastroianni Spring 2014 collection. These looks made me fall in love with orange all over again.

To all of the world's MS Warrior Women...I salute you, and I say...You rock! Orange Rules! And it simply doesn't get any sexier than this.

Balmain - Fall 2014

If you didn't already know, Paris Fashion Week literally takes the prize for all things fabulous by way of the runway. I love NYFW but Paris is on a completely other level. Representing strong and making a bold statement this season is Balmain. Interestingly enough, outside the show was what looked like hundreds of young, screaming fans who may or may not have been able to purchase the high ticket items Balmain produces yet, they know this design house very well. A sign of the times or simply a reflection of what happens when fashion and hip hop collide in a major way?

Take a look at the live show and photos of a few (mostly the entire collection) photos of my favorite looks. You must have a certain level of style to effectively rock these looks honey! Embrace it!

CHANEL Fall 2014

Karl Lagerfeld does it yet again! I seriously have no words for what this man is capable of! He literally WOW's the industry each and every fashion season with the CHANEL collection and if you are ever able to go to Paris Fashion Week, this is a not to miss show!

In the past whenever I've seen a look I absolutely LOVE, I for some reason imagine myself in isle 3 at Trader Joe's. I say it because it's a funny thought in my own head and then this man went and did it! This is my reality.
