DIY Fashions

Hey Glamazons! Thought I'd share some of my recent DIY Fashion ideas that I've had.
They're lots of fun and have kept me occupied during my down time in between
working and interning at one of the most loveliest places on earth, Glamour Magazine.
Hope you enjoy!

Under the Boardwalk

With summer drawing to a close, we only have a few more weeks until September
and the start of fall. But most of all, the most beloved time of the year, Mercedes
Benz Fashion Week! There is exactly two more weeks until September 1st, just
enough time for the last opportunities to bare your mid-drift this season! Check out
one of my favorite summer styles in my daily outfit, taken while I was on vacation a
few short weeks ago. Crop tops have come into play a lot this season and they're a
fun piece to hang around town in. This outfit expresses everything care free and fun
about summer. If you are heading down to the beach for some last minute sun or you
reside in a town that's blessed with sun and sand all year 'round, try pairing a crop
top with pants, shorts, or my favorite, a maxi skirt, for this warm weather look!

Must Have: Maxi Dresses

This summer has been all about maxi dresses. You can find various maxi dresses in
different colors, materials, and designs. The best thing about maxi dresses is that
they are fairly inexpensive and you can either dress them up, or throw it on for a
casual, running around town look. I like to break up the maxi's long silhouette by
pairing it with a belt like in today's look. How do you rock your maxi dress?

"When in doubt, wear red."

It's been one week since I've been back from vacation and I apologize for the slacking
of the blog posts! This past week has been hectic with getting back into my usual grind.
And not to mention some exciting new news! This past week I have started my first
internship with the style legends at Glamour Magazine in New York! My first week has
been hard work, but I am no doubt, in love with every second of it!

However, as I promised, I have for everyone, a recap of some of the outfits I sported
while on vacation! Here is one of the first outfits, stayed tuned for more! I'm really in
love with this red skirt for its pop, but at the same time simplicity. It really adds
something to an outfit, without trying too hard or going over the top. Try adding a pop
of bold color to a simple outfit!

God Save the Queen

After seeing the late Alexander McQueen's exhibit, Savage Beauty, at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, I came to better understand who Alexander McQueen was. While many
of McQueen's pieces may seem strange at first, your eyes are drawn to it, forcing you to
examine the beauties of it. At times the dresses were shocking, and at times even
disturbing, but to me, clothes are not meant to be glanced over. Fashion is supposed to
evoke emotion and that is what McQueen intended. Here are some of my favorite and
most breath-taking pieces of the exhibit.

Summer in the City

Today AJ and I adventured into the city for the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. I don't think words could describe the wearable art
that the late Alexander McQueen had created. It was a truly breathtaking and
inspiring exhibit. The exhibit is nearing its last week of showing, therefore, if you
haven't seen it yet, you better sprint over to 5th Avenue to check it out! As for the
outfit of the day, we have finally gotten a break from the humid 100 degree weather!
Check out what I was sporting around Manhattan today!
