The CFDA Awards happened last night. If you were wondering what all those pictures of Rihanna practically naked in a sparkling gown were from, that was it. A few months back, I made my predictions for who might win in the six main categories. So before we get to the red carpet let’s see how I did.
It’s already June, which means it’s almost technically Summer therefore festival season and the inevitable influx of denim shorts. I’ve never really been into this style myself…I have a few pairs but I prefer silk or leather when it comes to shorts. But now that denim shorts don’t necessarily have to be cut-off with ass and pockets exposed and at times can resemble a diaper, I’m warming up to the idea of growing my [currently very small] collection of denim shorts.
I can’t even keep track of all the 90s revivals coming back — between overalls, crop tops, and fugly shoes you’d think it’s 1998 up in here. But thankfully designers have refined these trends (not so much the fugly shoes though) and hopefully we won’t look back on 2014 ten years from now in disgust. However, there’s one 90s trend resurfacing you can rock in any decade without looking outdated — that, my friends, is the choker necklace.
If you appreciate humor in fashion / sequins / are in the market for some light-up sneakers, then this is one designer you need to know now.
There are two questions I have a hard time answering in interviews — 1) Where do you see yourself in five years? (answer: let me get through this month’s Google calendar and I’ll get back to you) and 2) How would you describe your personal style? (answer: can you just describe it for me?) It’s a tough question to answer on your own. You get dressed, put on the clothes you want because you like them but never really stop to think “what IS my personal style?” Maybe it’s because you haven’t figured it out just yet…
