The September Issue

Yes, it's FINALLY here! Well, it's already here, it came yesterday... so what if i'm a day late? Vogue's September issue. I literally wait every year for this, and this year's cover is featuring the every so lovely, Kate Moss. This issue takes an inside look at her wedding, since she tied the knot with Jamie Hince in a Gatsby style fashion. Kate Moss's wedding is said to be the "most romantic wedding of the year" according to Vogue.  Not only are there exclusive photos from her wedding, there are also photos of Moss in gowns exclusively made for her by designers such as Oscar De La Renta, Vera Wang and Valentino.  Here are a few photos you'll find in the latest edition...

And I hope to look like that in my late 30's..

If you'd like to see more of Kate Moss and exclusive photos, go ahead and purchase the issue itself, it's well worth it!

Not only does this issue focus on Kate Moss it also focuses on the top trends in faux fur, and of course who could forget the $100 and under section in which they focus on key pieces that are inexpensive and beneficial to every little ladies' closet. The September Issue is by FAR the best issue of any magazine. This is your "how to guide" for the WHOLE year, it's fashion heaven.

Gearing up for Fall!

Summer is coming to an end, and my favorite season of ALL is approaching. FALL! Who could resist leggings, boots, oversized shirts, and scarves? I sure can't. This season we are seeing a lot of trends evolving and with this little post I will discuss what what items you all should start adding to your wardrobe before the Fall season comes!

According to Style.com one of the newest looks they are saying to be trendy is collaging. This look incorporates color, pattern, and texture all at the same time.

The next trend is "Color Forms" bright hues have been a big hit for the last few seasons and they will still be hitting strong for Fall. Designers will be pairing bright colors as well as color blocking for a unique look.

Furs, are always a trend during the colder seasons. Real to faux, designers are making these furry pieces i in bright colors that we wouldn't typically see. The Olsen's will probably be the first to sport this out of the box look.

Who could forget the SIXTIES!? The look of the time is making a comeback and honestly, there isn't much to say about it. Just feast your eyes on this...

POLKA DOTS!!! This will be one of my FAVORITE trends for Fall. Designers are showing their spots all over the runway, and being the girly girl that I am, i'm obsessed.

And last but not least, MENSWEAR. Looks like women will be shopping in their man's closet this Fall. Anything from tuxedo jackets, to tuxedo pants.

Better late then NEVER: Cotton Couture

So last quarter, (Spring) Ai hosted a fashion show at Anqi restaurant which is located near Bloomingdales at South Coast Plaza. This show was held for all the graduate fashion design students to showcase their collections. I was lucky enough to be presented the opportunity to be Co-Director backstage along with a fellow classmate (Rocky) we got the chance to be behind the scenes of the show, pick the models, style the looks, etc. It was such an amazing experience and I was able to see what it was really like to be backstage of a fashion show... one word, CHAOS! But, I LOVED and enjoyed every second of it. We were also recognized for our efforts which made the event that much more special, and I really felt like I was part of such an amazing event. On top of all the amazing looks that were at the show, I was able to meet Miss Gretchen from Real Housewives of Orange County, I am not a CRAZY fan like most, but she was a sweetheart! Here are some pictures from the night...

I feel like i've know this girl my whole life ♥

The group who came to support me, love you guys!

Ah, it's been a while...

Hey everyone, I know it's been quiet sometime since i've posted on here... actually let me correct myself it's been FOREVER. I'm sorry that I have neglected to post anything but SO much has been going on wether it's school, or work. It pretty much consumes me. I just wanted to pop in and post some of the latest assignments that I have been working on at school. I would appreciate some feedback if you have any :) Just thought it'd be fun to share some of the stuff i'm doing since i've been neglecting my poor blog.
