As fashion week continues to make its way around the globe, I wanted to take pause and marvel at the ingenious designs, craftsmanship, and overall creativity that is the undercurrent for spring 2018. Please enjoy some of my top picks that range from the most incredible of eveningwear to cool casual separates to bags, and over to the categories that always complete the look: nails, hair, and makeup.
