Day Three
3.58am: Feed R. Best stretch of sleep in a while!
7am: Alarm goes off, promptly fall back to sleep.
7.50am: Shit. Woken up by R. We’re supposed to be leaving the house in 10 minutes to drive to Birmingham to meet friends for coffee. Quickly feed R and get ready.
It’s time to talk spring trends for 2023! Spanning four cities, over 350 designer showcases and more celebrity model moments than you can shake a roll of body tape at, ask anyone in attendance, and they’ll tell you that Fashion Month was back at its biggest and brightest for spring/summer 2023. Having pivoted from perching on the front row to sitting in front of our laptops (cup of tea in hand) for the past few seasons, we expected some designers to entirely forgo the frivolity of “real-life” fashion shows in favour of the digital experience. This, however, was not the case; in fact, not a single virtual invitation landed in my inbox. Instead, with a 45% increase in shows compared to autumn/winter, designers appeared to come to the collective agreement that being together will always be better. And, my, did they make it worth washing our hair and putting on our best outfits for.

I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a sucker for a sale. It doesn’t even have to be a good one. As long as it features an abundance of dark-red font and crossed out numbers, I’ll drop everything to at least window shop the selection. That’s how I ended up logging onto Saks’s website this week with no expectations but a willingness to look through every last marked-down product from the retailer’s Friends and Family sale, going on now through Monday, March 27. First, I tackled the selection as a whole, leading to genuine alarm when my intention of just looking went out the window and reality set it: This sale is really, really good.
Madison Bailey‘s LBD dress collection is on full rotation this fashion season. On March 21, the “Outer Banks” star debuted one of several cutout black dresses in her personal wardrobe at the 2023 Fashion Trust US Awards in Los Angeles. The sheer gown, styled by Kyle Kagamida, was Look 39 from Tom Ford’s spring/summer 2023 collection and featured a thigh-high slit that hit just below her modesty shorts. She styled the outfit with silver-and-emerald drop earrings, matching rings on both hands, and a pair of strappy heeled sandals embellished with gold chains.
