Hello all. I had to take a much needed break from blogging to enjoy some fun weekend activities. I really missed blogging and hearing from you all so with that said I was excited to post this evening. Fall is quickly approaching even though its still beautiful weather in the high 80's here in Northern California. I just wanted to share one of my must haves for the season. GLOVES! How many of you actually own a nice pair of leather gloves? They are a great accessory to add to a fall coat, sweater,or blazer. Colored gloves can add that pop of color to your fall wardrobe. How about accessorizing your favorite lipstick with a matching glove..Hot! You can wear them out to a football or basketball game. (you can find a pair that match your favorite team color ) Check out a pair in an animal print or the ones I personally love the ones with studs! Of course the photos above are a bit pricey but I found some adorable ones that are quite affordable. So next time you are in your favorite department store stop by the accessory aisle and pick up your new fall must have...Colored gloves.

I LOVE THEM ALL.

 

 

Viva Dress Up Photo Shoot

 

My advanced styling class has been honored to collaborate with Viva Dress Up, an online consignment platform where charitable organizations can raise funds by donating gently worn special occasion dresses, which in turn are sold and  majority of the proceeds will be donated to your organization of choice. Ok now on to our group mission should we accept we must create four fashion images per dress (8 total)  that will be used in advertising materials to promote the CCSF Fashion Department dress drive that will benenfit next year's CCSF fashion show at Ruby Skye in San Francisco, Ca. The best thing about this opportunity is Viva Dress Up may even use our fashion images to be features on their website. The photo above is a picture of our two dresses that were chosen for us to style. The dress on the left is a Christian LaCroix coral colored maxi dress! We are solely in charge of finding our own photographer, model, hair and MUA, and also the complete styling for the dresses plus accessories. This project is due September 26. I would love to hear your comments on how you would style either dress. I will post our final fashion images so stay tuned...

I am so excited that my new favorite movie The Great Gatsby is now available on Blu-Ray. I saw this in the movie theatre and I was so blown away by the story, the fashion, and of course LEONARDO! He was so awesome in this movie not to mention extremely handsome. I read the book back in grade school but never quite understood the characters or the story but this movie brought the book back to life for me. This book was made in the 1920's also known as the Roaring Twenties. This era is when the "Flapper" woman was born. This type of woman was known to be "loose" she smoked, she drank, she danced and she cut her hair. I mentioned I am in fashion school so every now and then I have to give a little fashion history ;) . Check out the movie if you love fashion ( the fashion in this movie is insanely fabulous) and a good love story...plus Leonardo.

Mixed prints have been seen on the fashion runways everywhere. This trend makes it fun and easy to mix fabrics, shapes, and colors. It's playful, daring, and bold. I honestly love the fact that you can mix and match different clothing items to transition into different seasons. Here's a challenge for all my readers try creating your own mixed print look. It can be as simple as wearing a bold solid colored shoe with a mixed print hadbag. Send me a picture of your mixed print look and I will post it to the blog (if you would like your picture posted of course) Have fun and don't worry about what people might say...Be You, Be Bold.

Nail Stickers

 

As I mentioned before I am in Fashion School and at times I must be able to improvise when working with models. I had a model come to our photo shoot with nails that were a hot mess. We drove around for two hours trying to find nail polish remover. It was awful but yet a learning experience. So while I was in the .99 cent store I saw these and decided hey these might be a quick  photo shoot nail fix. I had one of my students from work be my nail model. First I applied a clear coat of polish before placing the stickers onto her nails. Second I measured the sticker to get the exact sizing for her nail, then I cut the sticker. Lastly I used the nail file that came inside of the pack to trim and file the stickers onto her nails! Not bad. These stickers come in a variety of fun colors and they were really easy to apply. Also they come in a set of 10 so you have a set for your toes also. Try these when going out and you don't have time to get a professional manicure. Enjoy.
