An Ode to Glossier

Hello! Once again I am sharing an article that I have written for my school’s fashion magazine, Pack Fashion. It’s about the makeup brand Glossier that I have been a long time advocate of from the start. Quite simply this article is a love letter to the makeup brand that started a revolution in letting natural beauty be more than enough. Please enjoy!

What is “everyday beauty” when you’re in college? Do you put on a full face of makeup only for it to melt away on the way to class, or do you not put any makeup on at all and go about your day in a fresh-faced kind of way? For those of the latter, the brand Glossier is ideal for college students. With Glossier more suited for a college budget, what you are offered is for certain what you get and more. Their award-winning perfume, “You” is a unisex scent that is irresistible with notes of ambrette, ambrox, and musk. 

Among their makeup products, their “Boy Brow” is a top seller for many reasons. It helps your brows look defined without looking drawn on, and the formula is so soft it does not make your brows feel stiff either. What makes Glossier so wonderful– and especially wonderful for college students– is how easy the products are to use and that above all else you still look like you after applying the makeup. The eyeshadows called “Lidstar” are offered in a plethora of dreamy colors ranging from an earthy green to pale lilac. The creamy formula is simple to apply as it comes out of a lipgloss tube; it enhances your natural look even more so. 

Glossier also features a variety of models with varying skin tones and different assets to one’s face whether it be a splotch of freckles or a distinctive beauty mark. Glossier embraces differences and celebrates the little things that make us all who we are threefold. The most important aspect this brand embraces is that one’s natural beauty does transcend all the makeup in the world, but a little swipe of lipstick doesn’t hurt from time to time.

Across the pond the action is heating up despite the low temperatures. First off, Christopher Kane’s show was absolutely delightful. I thoroughly enjoyed his more feminine approach and now can proudly say I want to own a pair of crocs, but only if they’re from his brand… The textures and plethora of colors kept me intrigued throughout the whole show, and if you look closely, another shoe design of his is heels with foam peeking out of course. He’s just trying to make heels more comfortable while starting probably one of the newest and most popular trends in the future.

Erdem was an absolute dream. Erdem Moralioglu’s inspiration behind his collection was the fantasy meeting of his two great grandmothers, and the result of that imaginary meeting was fantastic. I really love how he can make possibly the most frilly and girly dress imaginable but still manage to make it strong and innovative.

Even though Burberry’s collection is See-Now-Buy-Now for Spring 2017, it has to be one of Christopher Bailey’s best collections for the brand. I absolutely adored the use of white, khaki, and navy together, which may seem quite basic, but with the lace and the structure of the clothing, there was nothing basic about this collection.

Marques’ Almeida is street style gold. Any one of those looks could be seen on the street, and these looks are so wearable, fresh, and exciting because there is something for everyone in that collection.

J.W. Anderson was really fascinating to me. I can safely say every look I saw was like nothing I’d ever seen before, which, of course, is a testament to Anderson’s creativity. I especially loved the strapless dress with the raw zipper in the middle of the bust. It was so simple yet very elegant and new. 

Mary Katrantzou was inspired by the movie Fantasia, and the clothes were exceptional. I miss her wacky prints and embellishments, but I think now she has progressed into a more mature designer, which translates in her clothes. Seeing the story of the movie play out in the clothes was a very smart way to make her collection even more cohesive.

Versus Versace always is just a badass show. Every. Time. This collection, neon mixed with grunge in the best way possible, and it made me want to buy a leather dress with slits up the side immediately. So that’s it for now! See you in Milan. Ciao!

New York fashion week is finally here again. The snow and freezing weather are no issue at all when it comes to the opportunity of seeing the upcoming fall fashions. Starting off with Calvin Klein, the brand now under the tenure of Raf Simons is quite delightful; it is really wonderful to see him again as I really adored his time at Dior.  This time around it’s no different: he is really talented. Though the clothes shown are drastically different from his collections at Dior, I really liked it. From the defined structure of his suits to his recurring knee length hemline, it is a mixture of feminine but with an edge. And that yellow trench coat encased in plastic is an immediate mood booster.

It’s been 10 years since Jason Wu started his brand and I have to say this collection is one of my favorites. It has every aspect that I find really intriguing in fashion these days. I love his off-the-shoulder pieces but also his choice of texture and colors was exceptional. And that finale dress with strips of skin peeking out was so sophisticated and sexy rolled into one.

Jonathan Simkhai has been on my radar ever since the beginning of last year. And he does not disappoint. His clothes are very feminine in my opinion, but I really love that look anyway. I especially enjoy his dresses with the high slits and the off-the-shoulder look that puts the collarbone on full display.

Sies Marjan was bright and beautiful. The mini skirts with flowing trains were my favorite part. But I do have to say the robin egg’s blue look with the model’s complementary hair still remains one of my favorite looks.

Altuzarra was inspired by the Renaissance period of history. All the looks, complete with pearl headbands and dangly earrings, were quite a different side to the usual Altuzarra. And I really liked it. The velvet was beautiful, and I absolutely adore his rendition of the classic suit.

J. Crew. What can I say? Every single piece was something I covet and REALLY want to wear! So I just had to settle on my very favorites. But, really, Jenna Lyons is a genius because the clothes are so contemporary but so classic at the same time.

Proenza Schouler was its typical fierce and strong self. The clothes shellacked and cut out into different cut-outs was truly innovative.

I am quite surprised as to how much I adore Monse. This time around, the clothes were just incredible and wearable but very new too. I especially loved that velvet yellow flowing top with the black cigarette pants.

And now to Oscar de la Renta! The new creative directors (also the designers at Monse!) blew me away with their new take on the storied Oscar de la Renta house. I was so very impressed as they kept with the classic and feminine look but also made things interesting, especially, with the bright-red sash draped around one model’s waist with a heavily embroidered strapless top as well.

The Michael Kors Collection is always something to behold. The classic American designer can do no wrong in my book with his incredible, wearable, and extremely wonderful clothes. I loved the barely-there makeup paired with the glittering dresses sashaying down the runway with fringe shaking all about. So that about does it for New York Fashion Week. See you across the pond!

Ciao Bella!

With a heavy heart I write this post. My heart is aching for all of Brussels through this horrendous time. But I must continue in my (very late) fashion month coverage.
Versace was a more feminine look and it was quite lovely. I loved the soft ruffles featured on some looks. The colors were beautiful and bright. Salvatore Ferragamo was one of my favorite collections in my opinion. The combination of colors was so innovative and refreshing. Prada was quite a switch from their usual style. But in a great way! The textures and colors were intriguing and the accessorizing was delightful with the gloves and sailors caps. I loved the risks Miuccia took with this collection. Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini was a designer I have never looked at before this season. I am so glad I finally looked at his marvelous work. Everything I saw I wanted. It was so relevant but still exciting in today’s never ending cycle of fashion. Marni blew me away. I have always loved this brand. But this collection made my love increase so much more than I imagined. It was so intricate and had lots of variety which is always a plus. The hair and earrings were everything. Gucci. Oh my god. Every time it gets better and better. It was so marvelous. Alessandro keeps fashion fun and inspirational. Dolce and Gabbana was a fairytale. And I don’t say that lightly. Literally the inspiration for the collection was fairy tales. It was a pleasure to see references which I could pick up on like Cinderella. The clothes were decadent and it was a grand show. That concludes my work on Milan. Stay tuned for Paris! Ciao

This post is my second installment of my New York Fashion Week coverage. Every show got better as the days progressed. But now onto my favorites, I adored Altuzarra. Joseph Altuzarra is so talented in every way and I am never disappointed by his work. The shapes of his clothes are exciting and this season; the prints and embroideries he offered were delicious. Also Calvin Klein Collection was so neat and clean but it was also very different from last season. Francisco Costa tried something new with the geodes on some of the dresses, and the experiment was totally worth it. Derek Lam was feminine and strong and so beautiful. I want to own every piece (especially those fur coats). Edun too was feminine and so beautiful. The colors were so exhilarating especially that light salmon colored suit. Alexander Wang never ceases to amaze and excite. All his clothes are covetable right at this moment and he offers something everyone wants to wear whether you are extremely girly or not. For example, I would consider myself a pretty girly person but the clothes for his collection made me want to jump on the gothic bandwagon. This fall season was a little goth, but I think it has shown to be a new way to incorporate a little darkness into your closet. (In my next post Marc Jacobs and Rodarte joined the dark side too). But it is important to add that a lot of pink has been on the runway like at J. Crew and Boss. Delpozo has to be one of my favorite design houses ever; the designs are so innovative and breathtaking and this season was no different. The colors and shapes were perfection. I really really liked Coach 1941! The sporty feel is the closest I will ever feel to being athletic with the varsity jackets, and I’m ok with that! Carolina Herrera was a dream. And if someone does not wear that gorgeous purple gown to the Oscars, I will devastated. At Diane Von Furstenberg the 70’s era was in full throttle along with other collections too. Diane also incorporated some cross body fur stoles that were in other collections. One more post to go to cap off New York Fashion Week. Stay tuned!

Finally, New York Fashion Week has begun! I’m so excited I can barely contain myself. These photos below are a compilation of the first two days. First of all the Saint Laurent show was held in LA this season, and it was wondrous. One of the best I have ever seen. The colors and textures were truly magnificent. One of my fave looks: The midi embroidered head to toe with feather cuffs!! My heart truly melted. I need that dress immediately. A look I’m picking up on as of now is more and more turtlenecks, this means true happiness for me because if theres one thing to know about me is that I adore turtlenecks. Only a few more things excite me than seeing a turtleneck in such an inspiring look as Saint Laurent has offered. Jason Wu was all over the place but in the best possible way. He had short dresses, long dresses, pants, skirts, you name it. But a certain look reminded me if Cher Horowitz from Clueless was present today she totally rock this look with its matching plaid jacket and skirt. BCBG was cozy and something comforting I would live in at this moment. The cold shoulder look is still here: just look at Cushnie et Ochs! Heels are back which I do not know how exactly I feel… I’ll get back you on that. But nevertheless they are back with a vengeance (and come in black Mary Jane form). And speaking of the color black: black is of course the new black. Timeless and effortlessly cool, its had an appearance in every collection big or small it plays a role. So keep tuned because Fashion month has just begun.

Hello hello! I finally got some pics of my favorite outfit I wore in New York. I wore this to see Hamilton, that marvelous new musical about the founding father Alexander Hamilton. The musical was everything I hoped for it to be and more, and I am so incredibly amazed I got to see it. My outfit too was everything I had hoped for it to be and more. (I had planned to wear this to Hamilton a few weeks in advance). I got to show off my new boots and once again proved my love for turtlenecks with this outfit.

Perfect Pre Fall Part One

Pre Fall never at first made much sense to me but after consideration and looking at the fashion offered recently, I had an epiphany! Its like having Christmas twice a year (along with Resort collections). Pre Fall is a little snapshot into the upcoming seasons and the fashion usually is offered right now to buy, which is fabulous. But now onto my faves…

Oscar de la Renta was a new take this season and I really enjoyed it. Every image sparked some newfound excitement inside of me and that is what fashion is all about: feeling something spectacular through the appearance of clothing. Peter Copping adds his own flair to the original brand in the best way possible.

Red Valentino is like Valentino young girls like me would die to wear right now. (Not that I would not mid wearing grown up Valentino myself! Hey any kind of Valentino is good enough for me!) The combination of shapes and colors was exhilarating and gives much inspiration to me.

Chanel, I mean “hello, this is the real deal”. I cannot even express the adoration I have for Karl’s genius. Every season is something new and fresh which is hard for being a part of a brand for so long. But Karl does it! The clothes are nothing less of spectacular and decadently gorgeous. I want it all!

Michael Kors is so right now and always has something every fashion girl is coveting at the moment. This collection was quite new I feel with the embellished coats and the frivolous feathers. It was just the right amount of drama.

Gucci. It deserves its own one word sentence. It is so luxe and just so inspirational. It makes me feel joyful and that sometimes is an aspect that is missing in the fashion we experience today. I adored every piece, it takes me to another time. I mean I feel like I have never experience something like this before.

BONUS: JONATHAN SIMKHAI. My new love. The recent winner of the CFDA Fashion Fund Award winner caught me by surprise. He is so creative with his shapes! It was feminine and very strong at the same time. And that is the type of woman I want to be.

Sorry for my longer than usual hiatus, but my school work is really piling up this year! But anyway I still make time to show you all a newfound favorite outfit of mine. I chose to feature this outfit on the blog to show you how both loose shapes of clothing (like the pants and the belle sleeves on the shirt) work together perfectly. Oh and though this is not related to fashion, please keep Paris in your thoughts, I know I will.

Hello all! Finally fall has arrived! And with the help of my friend, Em, she helped me pull this look together. This coat is one of my favorites, ever. The swans on it are so beautiful and the colors on this coat are yummy. As you probably see I am wearing these jeans again (because I love them so). And this turtleneck is the coziest thing I own.
