Recently, I cut off my medium length blonde hair to an overgrown pixie. It’s short enough where hair ties mean nothing to me anymore, but long enough where you can’t quite see my skull yet. This wasn’t some radical act I did in light of a breakup or in protest for veganism, gender identity, or Bernie Sanders, or anything. I just didn’t like my hair. And it turned out great! It’s the shortest I’ve ever had it and I absolutely love it. It’s fun to wake up every morning andRead More
I was honored to be an invited designer of the WERK the RUNWAY high fashion runway show on Saturday, April 11th. It was held at the Best Western Plus Conference Center in Morristown, Tennessee. Among the fabulous designers featured were: The Charming Housewife (Lacey Fleming), Marc Nelson Denim, Charles Josef Bridal, Paulie Gibson – as featured on America’s Next Top Model, and my Victoria Wilmoth Couture. Each of us displayed our collections and then the show was concluded with the finale, “Once Upon A Time: Fairy Tale Meets Fashion.” This collectionRead More
Over five hundred miles later, seven and a half hours in a car, and having battled the “snowmaggedon” of the South – we arrive at Gage Talent Agency in Knoxville, Tennessee. The models were lined up clear out the door. In total, there were 140 potential models to chose from. They were all there for the designers of Knoxville Fashion Week. At 7pm, we walk in the door and are ushered to a back room to place our gowns on a garment rack. The problem? All the garment racks areRead More
Atelier Versace Spring/Summer 2015 Collection Runway Show: Atelier Versace showcases stunning dresses with contemporary style cutouts that border on revealing. The strategically placed curvatures amplify the sensuality of the female form. However, they leave just enough to the imagination to be considered sexy. The asymmetric lines of the dresses are intricately woven to create complex patterns with a very modern feel. It is almost as if the female human body is a canvas for contemporary art. They are flattering in bold red, royal blue, stark white, black, and nude fabrics. SheRead More

That was the title of the article. I saw it on Facebook and instantly clicked it because…I was sitting in my room, watching re-runs of Seinfeld, eating a bowl of the kind of cereal that makes you poop, wearing my tangerine high-waisted shorts, and suddenly…regretting all of my decisions. And as it turns out, guys HATE high-waisted shorts. They think they are awkward and unflattering and should be burned at the stake. (Along with your rompers, which according to the article, look like pillowcases and your maxi-dresses, which apparently makeRead More
Throughout history, Labor Day has been one of the major holidays that has impacted fashion. In some form or another, I’m sure you have heard the saying “Don’t wear white after Labor Day!” Why is this? Why all of a sudden is a color forbidden? Well, it all started in the 1800’s, early 1900’s.  Wearing white was a symbol of wealth. Since laborers couldn’t afford to take time off of work for vacation they would always wear their blue collar uniforms/outfits. The wealthier would always show of their wealth by wearing whiteRead More

Trendy Teens: Fashion at the Teen Choice Awards

The time for the Teen Choice Awards has arrived! Apart from the newest scandal – that winners have been decided days before the voting ends –  there were a few new trends brought to light. This year the stars were all about crop tops, braids, pony tails, and bright colors. Although my picks for “Best Dressed” are different from other critics, I believe they are worthy to be noted. Among my favorites were:   Shay Mitchell Delicate lace is always a good choice for a feminine look. Sarah Hyland TheRead More

In-Store Retail is Going Down, Down Baby

It’s no surprise that retail has plummeted the past few years. The economy, alone, has been an utter disaster. Consumers are strictly looking for the best deals and why not? E-commerce has changed the way people shop dramatically. You can buy goods from across the world with free shipping, better prices, superior quality, and in bulk. For example, in my last internship I helped my boss style her outfits for New York Fashion Week (NYFW). By shopping online, I saved her over $500. It’s all about keywords and knowing whatRead More
Seeing as summer is about to arrive, I figured it would be a good idea to share instructions on how to tie ties for those special occasions coming up. Southern men usually lean towards pastel ties and tend to dress up more than Northern men. Having lived in both places, it’s interesting to see the differences between the two. Wherever you live, it’s a good idea to have options in ways to accessorize ties to further an outfit. People notice when you wear it a special way. Trust me. Below,Read More

Killer Unibrows

Unibrows can be fierce and badass.  Unfortunately, Americans don’t typically crave that singular wave of emotionally-charged expressive hair that perches atop our lovely eyes.  Eyebrows are a thing of character.  Less is more, some people are apt to say.  But thick, natural brows are trending and we’re just a few lazy Sundays away from abandoning plucking altogether.  This would be a favor to all the pubescent American middle school girls who are being introduced to tweezers by their older sister on her futon one bored afternoon. Until that day, IRead More
Wedding season is about to be here! New York Spring Bridal Week has presented some of the most beautiful gowns on the runway. Designers focused on airy, delicate gowns that any bride would swoon over. Sleeves were a main focus along with illusion looks that had tattoo style lace. Vera Wang, Reem Acra, and Monique Lhuiller showed illusion necklines, sleeves, and back details. Monique Lhuiller even presented a mint green tulle ball gown that easily became my favorite. Her inspiration this year was “My Ethereal Daydream.”She drew inspiration from American portraitRead More
“Hey, alright! I finally feel like a man!” “But, oh my god, you look sooo dirty!” Regardless of your personal feelings on the situation, facial hair is here to stay – at least for a couple months until perms claw their way back to the top. It’s gonna happen. The facial hair transplant business is a-boomin’, too. Yeah, you read that right. In case you have not heard, follicly-impaired men across the country are now shelling out anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 to graft from their scalps to their facesRead More
My favorite time of year has arrived! This time of year brings some of the best skiing and snowboarding conditions. What better way to start celebrating the slopes than getting an amazing jacket! There are two main types of ski jackets that are available – the insulated jacket and the shell jacket. Each can be worn skiing and/or snowboarding.   INSULATED JACKET Insulated jackets help to provide warmth when it’s cold outside – without having to wear too many layers. They use a synthetic fabric on the outside, which isRead More
