What makes the outfits showcased throughout this lookbook even more appealing are their streamline silhouettes and overall feminine aesthetic. Embracing an edgy ladylike vibe, the Nicole Miller Spring 2014 collection ensures that women are put together but not at all forgettable in the process. Instead, women will stand out in the "[eye-catching patterns and vivid colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lilly-reserve-collection) that call to mind shattered glass and garden mazes," as noted by [Refinery29](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-duty-by-lazy-skincare).
