London Fashion Week: Street Style Ready
ASOS Sweatshirt | Pink Aviators | Acne studios Beanie | Pants Finders Keepers | Cobalt Coat Fashion week Part II, aka London is upon us and I couldn’t be happier. I recently read an article about how Raf Simmons taking over the helm of Calvin Klein was perhaps the worst thing to happen to American fashion in a while. Their reasoning: American fashion has become a bit one-note and we are now importing ‘American fashion’ from Europe. Despite the 80s revival, the American power house designers of the 80’s simply aren’t showing up anymore, neither are the majors of 90’s etc. Marc Jacobs’ brand has all but dissolved, Donna Karan…

Blush: The Breakout Color of the Year
Every year when Pantone announces their colors of the year I close one eye and hold my breath PRAYING that it will be an universally flattering shade like Berry or Navy. This year however I was slightly mortified to hear pastel blue and pink were taking center stage. If you are someone with olive skin coloring like myself nothing could look worse on you then a pastel blue or even worse, a pastel pink. So I tore up the rule book and decided to completely ignore the Pantone rules this year until a strange thing started happening in street fashion. Blush started appearing everyone, not ‘baby pink.’ This slightly yellow…
