LA Fashion Week: Its a rap !

LA Fashion Week has come to a close- *sad face*.I must admit, this season was more innovative and colorful than I expected ( which I loved!). From runway showcases,after-party treatments and  private Eco-friendly product viewings, LA Fashion Week made me proud.

Coverage images and info will be up on Vibe.com and The Curvy Fashionista very soon! Special thanks to J from Paper Magazine and Lawrence from Splash Magazine for making my night even more entertaining!

Balance.Real Friends.Where are they?

Loves! In the mist of covering events for LA Fashion Week ( Vibe Magazine/The Curvy Fashionista),Tora Bedgood, an amazing Music Journalist hosted a pre-bday party at Rush Lounge!Can you say ..'FUN'? Also one of my very best girlfriends, I made it my personal duty to make her day as amazing as possible. Needless to say, I missed a few events on this day in  return.

Despite the flexible definition of 'friendship' and the many careless ways it is tossed around nowadays, I can truly say that this woman is my 'real' friend.We met a little over a year ago when I was assisting on a shoot for Angela Simmons. I suppose you can say it was 'love at first sight'?

Annyway:

As LA Fashion Weekend comes to a close, I will be updating via Twitter & posting a few cool looks on here.Until then- Happppyy birthday Tora B!You can follow her on twitter @Charlie_Danger !

Fashion Exhibit: Coming to life!

T

The past year I have been working with Woodbury Universities Fashion Exhibit which holds some of the most beautiful historic pieces I have ever seen ( In my lifetime). From YSL to Courreges, I am always blown away by the taste and aesthetic of the designer brands we hold.Since this past summer, we have been preparing for this years Fall exhibit- with a theme of geometric shapes and beauty.

In Social Media class.. Socializing? ( Do not try this at home)

Aside from trying to change the world one fashion article at a time, I also enjoy going to school.So.. for the last 3 1/2 years I have been attending Woodbury University with a focus in Communications and Fashion.

The best part about school is it's social construct in a classroom: you never really know what you're going to get ( Life is like..a box of chocolate?). In this particular case 'you never know what your going to get when putting a Power 106 fashionista (Jess) and a Vogue inherited Journalist ( That would be me)  in a Social Media class...together.'

The outcome? We "Get Social". Basically, although extremely long, this course is doing wonders for my communication strategies and social media love affairs.
