Introducing Willow Smith the Model

Big news! Willow Smith has just been signed to The Society Management New York. This singer, dancer, actress combo will be among some of the biggest models of today like Kendall Jenner and Adriana Lima. Willow will be by far the most edgy model this company has and will most likely cause a big splash.

Willow Smith has always been known be a free spirit. Her parents, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, have allowed her to be her own person and to express herself how she sees fit. She isn’t afraid to speak her mind and that is admirable. Over the years, she has had countless crazy hair and fashion styles that have wowed most everyone. I applaud her confidence because she always chose to be herself and in the end, she didn’t care what everyone else thought. She is a down to earth celebrity and an inspiration for girls of all ages. This new exposure for her through modeling will be great for everyone. 

Here are some of my favorite looks by Willow Smith. 

The neutral color tone palette is gorgeous with this look.

This is edgy semi-steampunk fashion at its greatest! She is owning it completely.

 YAAS! I love how she is bold and owns it.

May we all aspire to be as fierce and lovely as Miss Willow Smith. 

Stay Fabulous!

New Friends and New Adventures!

We are getting real here people, so buckle up; it’s going to be a wild ride. 

I don’t really make posts that are too personal and real to who I am. Most people who come to this site mainly come for my fashion reviews and that’s fine. However, today I wanted to talk about something a little different. I was inspired by Louise’s blog Sprinkle of Glitter because her latest post about her 6^th year blogerversary was heartfelt and I wanted to do the same. 

To be honest, I have never been great at keeping friends although, I have weirdly always been great at making them. I just never seem to be able to keep people around for long which has always been hard for me. My boyfriend has friends who he talks to everyday and they all have been close friends for years. This is foreign to me, but I see how happy it makes him to have those sorts of people in his life. 

Over the past two years, I have been lucky enough to share some of Josh’s friendships and it has been great. I now go to karaoke bars (who would have figured that one?!), football games, restaurants, concerts (soooo many concerts, like FOR REAL), parties, and so much more. I am just grateful for the people around me who keep me busy, who keep me company, and keep me happy. 

Here’s to new friends and new adventures! 

XOXO Stay Fabulous!

My Favorite Looks from the 2015 Emmys

Regina King

Regina King looked beautiful last night as she entered in this gown hot off the runway from Krikor Jabotian. The front of the dress was great but really gets you is the attention to detail in the back. The low dropped cut of the back gives this dress that sexy edge without going too far. It’s that “WOW” factor. Also, the material is stiff which is different from the other red carpet looks that night. It makes the hem of the gown float above the ground at a teacup length which is brilliant. I think this look is the perfect mixture of classy and sexy which is perfect for her.

Amanda Peet

I love that Amanda Peet embraced the recent trend of cutouts wearing the designer Michael Kors. We have seen this look everywhere and now it is high fashion on the red carpet! This simple A-Line shape is met with the edgy cutout and on top of all that there are delicate rosettes covering every inch of the gown. This dress really made an impact on the runway and was one of the most memorable of them all.

Ariel Winter

Draped in Romona Keveza, Ariel Winter wowed everyone on the red carpet. She looked great in this dress because it complimented her figure so well. The color of a striking red flattered her also as well as made her stand out from the crowd. There was nothing too outlandish about this gown per say (besides the asymmetrical neckline which is magnificent BTW), she pulled this dress of like no one else could.

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga was a vison completely embodying the old Hollywood glamour look at the Emmy’s. We are so used to expecting that Lady Gaga will show up in an egg or a meat suit but when it boils down to it, it seems as if she has moved on. People raved, I mean RAVED, over this look from Brandon Maxwell. She looked gorgeous donning her natural hair as it was swept back with the sides of her dress dipping dramatically low so that we could see many of her tattoos. This one shouldered gown looked as if it was made for her and she worked it.

XOXO Stay Fabulous!

My Wanelo Shopping Experience

August 31^st, 2015 was the day I started this fretful journey. Little did I know then what an escapade it would turn out to be. 

I decided for the first time that I would try out shopping using the Wanelo application directly. For those of you who don’t know what Wanelo is, it is an application where you can see a variety of products where you have the option of saving the product into one of your categories or you can buy the product. This means it will either take you to the webpage of the company to buy it or have you purchase the product directly on the application if that’s an option. 

I noticed that because of the insanely cheap prices for most of the clothes that are available for purchase on the application, it is very likely that they will be knock-offs probably from China. In that case, it is possible that it won’t look like the photo advertised. I took my chances anyways because I really wanted to find out what this service was like. 

I ordered my sweater on August 31^st. When I looked at my order it said that it would take around 7-15 days. Now, I don’t know about you, but I am so used to everything getting here in two days thanks to Amazon Prime so this was killing me. I realized I couldn’t do anything about it, and then the waiting game ensued. 

By day 7, it said that they were still processing my order. So in seven days they couldn’t put one measly little sweater into a box? By day 9, it said that they have accepted my order and it has been processed in China but it had not started moving yet. In fact it did not start moving until the 13^th and that is when my sweater ended up in New York. I was concerned that it wasn’t going to get here by the date they gave me of the 15^th. I was right. My package came in at 5:00 in the afternoon yesterday September 17, 2015. 

The sweater is actually very pretty and will be great to have as we enter the autumn and winter months. I am just letting everyone know that it does come from China and it does take a fairly long time by a millennial’s standard to get it to your doorstep. 

XOXO Stay Fabulous!

Lauren Conrad NYFW 2015

If you guys didn’t know, Lauren Conrad has teamed up with Kohls to produce high fashion looks for prices that don’t break the bank. I will be the first to say, “THANK YOU! This is everything I ever wanted and everything I never knew I needed!!!”

The prices of this collection range from $12 to $300 so if you are interested, SHOP NOW! Everything is already on sale at Kohls stores and online. If you care about fashion and runway shows, there is almost something for every budget and you can take a piece of the show home today if you wanted. 

 

The collection is enchanted woods themed with feminine fabrics and pastels and I kid you not, it is all wearable. That might sound weird to some, but there are always high fashion runway shows that leave me wondering when I would ever wear something so ridiculous. You want me to pay $500 for a large box with arm and leg holes? No thank you. 

I can honestly say that I would wear any piece of clothing or accessory from this line because it is all beautiful. This ex-television star really knows how to make things that will look good on everyone and how to make clothes for the everyday girl. See it for yourself here.
