Recently I've come to find that my life right now is the busiest that it has ever been. I am 16 credits away from graduating a semester that consists of the most important courses of my college career. Never before have I felt so determined to accomplish my goals and work hard to reach success. Any quest for success requires one very important...
Happy Halloween from Wednesday Addams, fashion's most apathetic influencer. How can we ever forget Valentino's Wednesday inspired Fall RTW 2013 show? This runway took spooky to a new level and was totally the inspiration for my costume this year! Behold: ...
Goodbye summer, hello fall! As the air gets crisper and the leaves change colors, the onset of fall starts to remind us that at some point, in some way, things in our lives are going to change. Fall brings with it a sense of adjustment; add-ons and takeaways are bound to occur as we contemplate how we will foster this inevitable change in...
As the fall season comes in right on our coattails, I start thinking about how the summer flew by and what a whirlwind of a season it has been. This summer marked my last summer as a college student, my last student internship, and my last semester of dependency on student loans (woo!). There were, however, also a few first-time things that happened...
This summer, my internship at Black Frame kept me extremely busy tracking fashion samples, collecting client coverage, using Fashion GPS and assisting at fashion shows. When I wasn't traipsing about Manhattan delivering a Kenzo bag here or picking up a Rodarte dress there, I filled my time by attending several networking events and mingling with other PR hopefuls and established professionals of the industry. While...
This week, London, my favorite city in the entire world, wraps up another fashion week, leaving behind feelings of inspiration, motivation and let's just say it, envy in its wake. As iconic designers flaunt their creations down the runway and stylish show-goers glance over their shoulders as black taxi cabs whisk along the misty London streets, I sit in suburban America, lusting after...
The very first New York MEN'S Fashion Week just wrapped up and what a week it's been. As an intern at Black Frame {an international consulting and image management hub for creative innovators} I was lucky enough to be privy to the showing of Daisuke Obana's men's collection for N.Hoolywood. Whilst doing my research before attending the show, I learned that this season was inspired by...
Over Spring Break I had the good fortune of getting an inside look at some of the top PR firms and brands in New York City. NYC, or as my dad calls it, The Big Apple ("Hey Jessie how's the Big Apple?!") is home to 8 million minds and bodies all chasing the same thing; their dreams. And the other week I got...
Its undeniable that the fur trend has been hitting us hard this season. Even before fashion month began, this classic, vintage take on winter outerwear has been finding its way into our closets. As with any popular topic in the fashion world, there is bound to be controversy. The controversy with fur is of course, the humane treatment of animals. Animal-rights organization PETA...
Over the holiday break (one nice long month) I saw a lot of different things happening fashion-wise. I don't know about you all, but for a 22-year old semi-carefree undergraduate, christmas is a time when the word "gift" becomes synonymous with the word "money" and my inner shopaholic comes out. This list is a bit of what I added to my wardrobe and...
