Flamin-go Big or Go Home
There are a whole lot of flamingos this summer! Everywhere you look it seems that a flamingo theme will be there whether it’s home decor, fashion, or fun trinkets. Today I am going to take a deeper look into this phenomenon and dissect why this is happening in 2019 instead of any other year.

Camp was the confusing and exciting theme for the 2019 Met Gala, and we saw celebrities go all out for this over the top aesthetic. Flamingos are flamboyant creatures, ones that really stand…

Continuing the series of “Designers That Changed Fashion”, I am highlighting a famous designer who is loved by many. Hubert de Givenchy created some of the most timeless designs that we all still love and appreciate even to this day. However, I have a few thoughts as to how Givenchy differentiated himself from everyone else. Some of the most iconic looks of any film or character have been designer by Hubert de Givenchy.

Designers That Changed Fashion: Edith Head
Today I am starting an exciting new series that I am calling “Designers That Changed Fashion”! This new series will featured and is dedicated too designers that I feel have fundamentally changed the fashion industry forever. Today I wanted to start off with a designer that seems to be forgotten all too often. Edith Head was a fashion forward, sophisticated designer whose vision for the looks she was trying to create has gone down in history. Best known for her Old Hollywood costumes, Edith Head was always able to create a feeling and atmosphere that surrounded each character she dressed.
