So far it's been a hellish week and I can't wait to finally have some time to relax and get to enjoy my September issue of Vogue. I haven't had time to really look at it but I did see some interesting trends that called my attention. The first of those trends is menswear inspired clothing. This trend really calls to me because the structure of the clothes gives a woman a sense of power. It definitely calls attention and shows confidence. I've been trying to integrate this style into my wardrobe, but so far I haven't had luck in finding any nice structured jackets. Still a girl can dream of having an amazing ensemble like the ones at Chanel or Balmain.

Another cute little twist from this trend is the update on the men's bowtie. These new bows are loose and sometimes oversize. They can add elegance or whimsy to the classic white button up shirt.
