New York Fashion Week is now in full effect! I love the Fall shows beacuse the clothes are so relevant to our current season! It’s so fun ot get some fresh style-inspiration we can apply now.

NYFW kicked off with a bang as one of the first collections shown, Marissa Webb’s Fall 2014 Ready-to-Wear collection, hit the runway. To say it was made for the Apartment 34 girl is an understatement. Sticking to a dark and gray-based color palette {save for some pastel pink and bright red towards the end!}, Webb kept things simple with lots of pant + jacket ensembles, worked with comfortable shapes {love the slouchy, jogging pant!} and most importantly, the entire collection is so wearable! We’d gladly add any piece to our wardrobe right now!

It appears the sweatshirt trend isn’t going anywhere! We love the shape of that first look and the killer layering inspiration. Don’t be surprised if a turtle neck and sweartshirt are tomorrow’s workwear look. Many of the pieces Marissa featured we may have already, in one form or another! A white skinny, a great gnarled sweater or tweed peacoat? Definitely great basics. But that’s exactly what we love about this collection- it highlights wardrobe staples in an edgier, more on-trend fashion!

Dolce Vita Pump // Oversized Tweed Coat // Faux Fur Snood // Tibi Sporty Sweater // Claremont Tote {25% off with code BRINGSPRING} // Silk Jogging Pant

Take a look at how many layers and textures are going on in each look. There’s leather, tweed, graphic patterns, plaid, fur, zippers and silk, oh my! Webb is not afraid to add interest to a neutral ensemble and neither should you- it’s proof positive that basing your wardrobe on black is far from boring!

I’m quickly adding these perfectly transitional jogging pants into my closet {they’re basically like getting away with wearing pajamas outside of your house!} along with this amazing faux fur snood that instantly glams up a coat while keeping you super toasty!

How are you thinking of adding texture to your wardrobe this winter? There’s still time!
