This year's New York Fashion Week was mostly a peaceful parade of beautiful and interesting clothes. Mostly.

If you’re into pop culture and fashion, then you know New York Fashion Week (NYFW) just wrapped. And while we saw amazing, beautiful, new, and radical bodies on the runway for DapperQ, TomboyX, SavagexFenty, and Chromat, was NYFW truly as inclusive as it could be?

As the days are getting darker quicker and the temperature begins to drop, it’s important to know what fashion statements are beginning to occur at the end of this year. In the year of trends such as bike shorts and blazers, animal print, and neon coloured everything, 2019 has become the year of mix and matching styles to create your own unique look. This year has allowed all demographics to perfect their styles while keeping up with the latest trends. Social media influencers like Love Island star Molly-Mae Hauge (@mollymaehauge) and Instagram famous fashion blogger Lydia Abraham (@fashioninflux) have already began to highlight the staple pieces you need for this winter, with many high-street fashion retailers plugging the same styles. So, what do us ladies wear this winter? Here’s some outfit ideas for these chilly months to come…

I remember walking into a very busy Victoria's Secret store and I was greeted by a lovely retail assistant who introduced herself and gave me a little card to fill out, which included questions about what kind of garments I wanted to try on, and the different styles I wanted to see. I was also asked if I needed to be sized, or if I already knew my bra size. This type of customer service in a retail store in this day and age is hard to come by. Even comparative brand "Savage x Fenty" doesn't offer the same kind of in person customer service as it is predominantly online.

Whether it’s back-to-school season or simply the kickoff to fall, your kids are going to need new clothes. Winter is just around the corner. Being a parent of two small boys, I am always looking for sales or bargains... basically low prices. I have to be a lot smarter when I shop these days.

I recently discovered the Second Hand September challenge via the wonderful world of Instagram. The premise of the challenge is that you don't buy ANYTHING new for the entire month of September, and in turn you help save the planet, and you also probably help you bank account out as well.

At the time of writing this, Virgil Abloh is the most influential person in the world of creatives. His omnipresence and sway in nearly all creative pursuits is rooted in Virgil's unique talents. Born outside of Chicago in 1980, he is an artist, architect, and fashion designer. He received his training as undergraduate in Civil Engineering and a Master’s degree in Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Work. It is a fact of life and has been called inherently humanizing. Whether we like your job or not, we all agree that we have to work. But what happens when the job you have frequently puts you at risk for sexual harassment and sexual assault?

I signed up for Poshmark at 2:20 AM on a cold Wednesday on the second day of January, 2019. My experience so far has been good, bad, and ugly.

Another day, another Kardashian or Jenner appropriating someone else's culture.

It’s no secret that 22 year old actress Zendaya is a fashion icon, from her crimson red thigh highs at Paris fashion week to her metallic dress at the 2016 Met Gala. Zendaya also recently appeared on the cover of Vogue, where she looked stunning and talked about her new TV show. Zendaya is an amazing actress with a beautiful singing voice that she recently showcased on “All For Us,” which is a collaboration with British singer Labrith for her TV series Euphoria on HBO. But she is also a fashion icon, and now the new global women’s ambassador for Tommy Hilfiger. Tommy Hilfiger released his final collection of TommyxGigi with model Gigi Hadid back in February of 2018 who, for a while, was the face of the brand. Tommy Hilfiger went on to announce that he is collaborating with Zendaya on a capsule collection in October of 2018. The collection was released this spring.

With summer coming to an end, fashion lovers around the world prepare to hit the streets of New York for another iconic and exciting week of fashion, better known as New York Fashion Week (NYFW). Between the months of September and February, New York City hosts the first of four major fashion events, including Paris, London, and Milan to follow. New York, and Bryant Park and the Lincoln Center in particular, will be full of both new and seasoned designers, models, and fashion influencers like Vogue’s Anna Wintour. As well as tons of press, buyers, and, of course, a handful of trend-setting celebrities who are lucky enough to score front row seats and the opportunity to claim any Spring 2020 runway stunners, this show is open to the public and kicks off Friday, September 6, with designs and “performances” from Telfar. Closing, once again, with Marc Jacobs on September 11, these American designers are sure to set the standard for the newly shortened schedule that will showcase the world's most talented and creative fashionistas and all the things you need to know about New York Fashion Week.

When it comes to a character on a TV show or movie, there are many ways they express to us who they are. Obvious ways being dialogue, actions, and who they surround themselves with, but my favorite as someone who loves fashion is the way the characters dress. Clothing is a key component of world building and character building, whether the character only wears hoodies or plaid skirts. Of course, as someone who is attracted to a certain aesthetic, the characters with the best clothing are usually women for me who don't just shop at Forever 21. To me, the TV shows that I find have the best dressed female characters are the ones that don't realistically dress their characters. Meaning, in the show, the girl who lives in a middle-class household doesn't dress like she has money, but a stylist who dresses her every morning. As a TV fanatic, I've compiled a list of the best dressed females on the screen who will surely give you outfit inspiration or ideas to make a Pinterest board.

Over the years, I have watched the Showtime series The Tudors many, many times. I have learned one thing while watching the series for many times, and that is that the fans of this show and of history have paid very close attention to the costuming. Some love it, some hate it, and some are neutral. What many people do not realize about a show, a movie, or play, is that just like the script and scenery, the costumes designed are just as important in telling a story. This is the start of a series of posts about how I interpret the costumes story telling of each of Henry VIII's wives from the show The Tudors.

So, the secret is well and truly out, fashion trainers are the future. Gone are the days where fashion insiders rock up to fashion week in heels—it’s now all about the trainer. Think Balenciagas—every fashion influencer owns a pair—or Fila Disruptors, the trainer every teenage girl must own. Trust me, the platform sneaker or chunky dad trainer are your new street style staple. So why are they so popular? It’s all about their versatility. Platform trainers can be worn with any outfit, whether it be a business suit or party dress. They give you that effortlessly chic vibe that everyone strives for. And don’t forget comfort. Platform sneakers are the comfiest shoes—possibly ever. With that extra platform sponginess, you’ll feel like you’re walking on clouds.

Sneakers have become a million dollar business. It is not just the big companies, such as Nike and Under Armour, that are making money. Kids are making money by reselling their sneakers and even adding drawings and other items to sneakers to make them stand out in the crowd. I was recently introduced to Stock X, a sneaker website where you can buy or auction your sneakers. It is amazing when you realize that sneakers have separated themselves from shoes in the footwear industry. There are all types of people that wear sneakers, from the great-grandmother to the sports star. There are all kinds of sneakers for different needs, such as cross trainers, walking, sneakers that can track your steps and calories, and Ecco. There are some sneakers that can cost a bundle of hundreds. That’s insane. Sneakers have seemed to replaced shoes for dressing up an outfit for occasions. People wear sneakers to weddings, funerals, and anywhere else they might go. There is a certain comfort to sneakers that you just can't get from shoes. Shoes, whatever happened to shoes? I think the most famous person was Imelda Marcos, who was the First Lady of the Philippines. When she fled her country, over a thousand pairs of shoes were allegedly found in her closet. That’s a lot of shoes! If you grew up in the 60s or 70s, you wore shoes to occasions such as Christmas, church, and Easter. These shoes were usually patent leather. There were stores like Pay Less that sold shoes off a rack. Pay Less was very reasonable when you were poor. There were a lot of shoe stores that used the Pay Less model of sales to get people into the stores. It was less formal and more customer open. This model let people come in and get their shoes off a rack and try them on at their leisure. I think that’s when the realization arose that the shoe industry was in trouble. Sneakers were making their move slowly into being a force in the footwear industry. I grew up loving sneakers. When I was being shipped overseas to Germany in the late 70s, I took a suitcase with just sneakers in it. The airline consequently lost my suitcase and I was never to see those sneakers again. Now, there are all sorts of sports figures that endorse sneakers that sell for big money. There is a connection between a sports figure and his/her sneaker in that we, the customers, reason that by buying a certain sneaker, we are all for that figure. Sneakers represent a style of cool relaxation. I’m a senior now, but I still love my sneakers; maybe not for the cool and relaxed effect, but just for comfort. I very seldom wear shoes now that I’m not working, but even to go to work I wore my sneakers and changed into shoes when I got to work. Shoes still serve a purpose, such as when you want to go on a date. There is something about sneakers that doesn’t seem right on a first date, but that too, I feel, is changing. It takes a lot of work to keep sneakers in pristine condition. When I washed my white Nike Air Max, I took the shoe laces out of the sneaker and put them in an old pillowcase. I washed them with borax and detergent and turned on the washing machine and hoped for the best. I was quite surprised at the end of the cycle, when I took them out of the pillowcase, they were white, like new white. My grandson told me to use an old toothbrush to clean them with, but I thought that was too much work. That’s when I decided to try the pillowcase method, and for me it worked. You can take away my shoes, but please leave my sneakers alone!

Red bottom shoes for men are typically made of red material making it look unique. In the early times, we have seen women wearing red bottom shoes but nowadays even men are choosing red bottom shoes for their unique looks. The design and overall look of the shoes are also getting updated with time according to the needs of men and current trends. There are many different and trendy styles of red bottom dress shoes for men.

If you would've asked me what was the best era for fashion a year ago I would've said the 90s with the scrunchies and Rachel Green plaid skirts, but after some examination, my conclusion has changed. Maybe it's because of my dad telling me to live in the present, but I believe we are in the best era for fashion. Sure there is a manifold of overpriced t-shirt brands, stores that profit off of fast fashion, celebrity brands, and Friends merchandise taking over the stores, but other than that the state of fashion is doing pretty good for a generation of people stuck on their cell phones. For some who are decades older than me the clothes we see today may be outrageous and they may be fulminating at the sight of what these Instagram models are wearing, but with the help of the equality movement, fashion has changed for the better.

The ways businesses reach to customers have changed with the fast-growing Internet tools over the years. Now, large businesses and new startups adopt another way to grow and expand through influencers, the modern channel of digital advertising. Society is more engaged than ever before on the Internet, and spends most of the time connected to their social media with apps like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Snapchat; just to name the top ones, where it’s possible to stay updated with the latest trends, unlimited information and events of the world. And here business owners use influencers who can provide high engagement rates to their websites and increase sales. It’s obvious that social media has been displacing the traditional advertising tools. Even at its early stages, the influencers industry reports yearly earnings of nearly two billion dollars in 2018, and it’s expected to double in the oncoming years.

It looks like Kim Kardashian-West is having a change of heart. The media mogul's launch of her shapewear line, formerly called Kimono, will be getting a new name shortly.

Whether it’s back-to-school season or simply the kickoff to fall, your kids are going to need new clothes. Winter is just around the corner. Being a parent of two small boys, I am always looking for sales or bargains... basically low prices. I have to be a lot smarter when I shop these days.

As sad as it might be, summer is going to be over in just a few short weeks. You’ll soon have to prepare for fall and everything that comes along with it—from the transition from iced coffee to pumpkin spice lattes, to adding some warm clothes to your closet. Now is the time to take advantage of those back to school sales, and start stocking up on heavier fabrics and layers.

This was not a new problem in my household. Closets upon closets of clothes. Living in Canada, the problem is exacerbated by the accoutrement that accompany our four season lifestyle. Now multiply that by a work wardrobe, that does not coincide with #momlife or #afterworklife, and one can very quickly accumulate more items than, let's be clear, are humanly necessary for day to day life.

Ok, hear me out. I know there’s still some sun and the occasional hot spells, but the days are getting shorter, the breeze is getting chillier, and you find yourself using your sunglasses less and less. If you want to hit the ground running in Autumn fashion-wise, you have to be prepared, which will help you to be more efficient when shopping, and ultimately, you’ll save money. So how can you get Autumn-ready?

Does deciding your outfit for formal events stress you out? All we care about while walking into an event is about fitting in with the dress code there. The key is to develop a style which can blend into any type of event and also stand out. Many innovative and signature style creators are emerging. Here are a few tips to help you dress up for a formal event.

Sweaters give you comfort in a different way than other clothes you find in your closet. They can be worn alone, with shorts, jeans, or even workout and yoga pants. You can find some beautifully crocheted ones, ugly Christmas ones that light up, or ones that can fit you and fido comfortably on a cold, stormy night. One of the best parts about them is you can style them for almost every occasion.

Fall is basically here. In LA, the weather is supposed to be a high of 72 today. There’s a faint yellow-orange glow filter on everything outside. It’s just not summer anymore, you know? Which is fine by me. Fall is when my best clothes come out.

Numerous professional women are guilty of fashion faux pas without realizing it, and their lack of judgment can lead to being passed over for a job or even a promotion.

When we were young, trips to the beach used to be fun—they were a way to escape stress and boredom. Things change, and as we get older, we begin to see beach trips as chores: making sure that everything is packed, that everyone is wearing sunscreen, and that your clothes fit. If you’re on the lookout for beach outfits that are both comfortable and classy, you’ve come to the right place.

Summer is in full swing, and that means your social calendar is filling up fast. As you organize your family and send out RSVPs, it’s time to think about a key element of each engagement: your wardrobe.
