Boston Fashion Week!

Hey everyone, last Saturday I got the awesome opportunity to work with VOGE FashionRunway for Boston Fashion Week hosted by Bree Scullark, America’s Next Top Model Cycle 17 contestant and actress on CSI, and Joshua Steele! The event was hosted at the W Hotel in Boston. If you’re wondering, yes I got to talk to Bree, she was super nice even though it was only for a  minute.

It was tons of fun getting to meet designers and models  and just being able to surround myself with so much creativity. I wanna thank my friends Nadia and Julia again for inviting me and providing this amazing experience for me and all of my other friends who were able to intern as well.  Most of all I have to give a HUGE thank you to the creators of VOGE Fashion Runway ,Rose and Junior Vipent for letting me help make this night a success. You can check out my friends blogs Julia and Jackie, who interned as well.

I was working in the makeup, hair and model room letting the models know when to get ready and making sure that all the first were ready to go on stage. I thought this was the perfect thing for me to do because it’s provides a first hand look at what it’s really like back stage during a show. It was chaotic at first trying to make sure all the first who were walking for the first few designers were all ready to go in their first looks but of course it died down soon enough.

I was so fun being able to be just thrown int the mix and having to figure out how to make it all work. I loved being around everyone and all of the energy.
Here are all the designers who were showcased that night (in no particular order) and some of their work. All of the pieces were beautiful and I have to congratulate each and every designer for all their hard work and dedication to their craft. It was great being able to be around established designers living out their dreams. Everyone their is such an inspiration to all young up and coming designers. The show was a success and it was all due to these talented people and their amazing bodies of work.

There are a few different pics I could snag in between working and there is even a model in here that I got to do the makeup for 2 minutes before she had to be on stage!

 

What I wore: Of course I was in head to toe black(and gold for the added bougie)

Top:Gap: black long sleeve cold shoulder sweater

Bottom:Gap: black ripped jeans

Jacket:H&M: Faux leather biker jacket

Shoes:Marshalls: black suede mules with gold accents

Jewelry: gold necklace set from Bass I know it’s hard to see but one is a feather and the other had marble details and I also had on oversized pearls.

Bag: Gold Ralph Lauren cork top tote

Overall it was a great experience! Till next time, Ash.

Boston Fashion Week+OOTD

Hi everyone! Ive got some exciting news! I a currently interning for VOGEFashionRunway for Boston Fashion Week! I just wanna give a huge thank you to my friends Julia and Nadia who had invited me to help them out with the show. Also, Julia has an awesome Fashion blog as well calles callmejulessite so everyone reading should defiantly check her out!

On Sunday I attended a meeting to learn my jobs for the day of the show.  Me and all my other friends got super cute, as seen below, and headed down to the W Hotel where the show will be hosted on Saturday, October 7th. See all the show details in their Facebook here.

  Ya’ll can catch ya girl in the model room and makeup and hair. I had a great few hours meeting everyone and getting to work closely with designers and models. The designer that I was assigned to was awesome and you guys can check out her great work on instagram here.

What I wore:

Honestly this is really a show of how much I appreciate Marshalls and TJMaxx because Everything I wore that way and from one of these stores. Ive been shopping and Marshall’s and TJMaxx more often lately not only because they are easily accessible and Afforsable for me and my college kid pennies, but they are also pretty ethical. Many times Marshalls and TJ Maxx will pick up smaller American made brands and I can really appreciate that.

I  tried to keep my outfit simple and pretty comfortable (minus the heels but they were cute so Kanye shrug).

My top is this Doe and Rae, black and white stripped top with a chiffon-ish overlay. It is also slightly off the shoulder so it makes it a little bit more fun.

Next I wore my favorite navy slacks. These are Ellane Rose and they were so comfortable. They’ve got a good amount to strength so they kind of fit like a legging but the fabric feels sturdy like real pants and the bottom isn’t as tight.

And finally I have my shoes, which are Nine West. They are a absolutely adorable pair of baby pink suede and paisley printed chunky heels. I think these are great and easy to dress up of down because of how thick the heel is. These were by far my favorite part of my outfit even though by the end of the day after running around Boston I couldn’t wait to fling them across the room.

Check back soon to hear about my experiences backstage, see pictures, and learn more about the designers!

 

Simple Easy Style Tips and OOTD

Hey everyone so I’m starting a style series and I wanted to show you a trend that I’ve really been getting into lately.

I finally found myself the perfect pair of black suede mules and I just wanted to give a few of my tips on how to style them because I know at first glance they look hard to pull off.

Keep it simple

This is my motto for anything. These are easily a classy, but still trendy shoe , and trying to wear tons of other trends at once will make you look like you’re trying way too hard to be in style. I would always advise that if you’re tying to wear these and look in style but also effortless, still to basic colors and add maybe a pop of color.

So here’s an outfit that I styled around my shoes. I kept it simple and wore a black long sleeve body suit from Forever 21, and a pair of flowy shorts with a chain design that I got literally years ago from JCPenny. I love body suits because they’re super simple and give the illusion of having your shirt tucked into your pants which automatically makes you look a little more put together.Because Ive had these shorts for about 5 years now, ‘Im always trying to find new ways to wear them and the more simple you are sometimes them better, and this is a super simple, easy to put on and overall COMFY outfit to spent he day in without looking like you just rolled out of bed, even though ya probably did.

I also just used my watermelon Micheal Kors bag just because that’s what I’ve been using everyday so that along with the gold accent on my shorts count as my pop of color. I also accessorize with some super simple got hoops that I wear literally all the time. A good thing to remember is that less is always more when it comes to jewelry. If you’re wearing large earrings, opt for a smaller necklace or even no necklace at all, as I did. Lastly I pulled my hair into a slick bun.
