Well ladies and
gentlemen, I’m moving to LA. The one-way communication from me to all of the
world’s fashion brands, during my job search, has gotten to me; I am going back
to school. I have learned one major thing about finding a job in fashion and it
is that connections are essential. And as a person who grew up in the smallest
town possible in rural Southern Ontario…I have none. So it is time to gain a
focused education in fashion and meet people in the industry. So once again, i'm still fighting for fashion because I'm not quite there yet.
While I would have
preferred to have dough in my pocket, a secure job, and a new apartment…it does
sound rather boring, doesn’t it?… and I’m only 23. We all work for our entire
lives so why not prolong the madness of our youth.
With my new adventure
on the horizon, my summer style has been deeply inspired by California. Wind
swept beach hair, relaxed fit, and all shades of ocean blue have been occupying
my looks for the summer. And nothing reflects the west coast’s laid back vibes
better than an ocean of bruised and battered denim.
This shoot compiles these California inspirations into a fun, colorful, and
laid-back look for the warm summer months.
From cyan and cobalt to navy, sapphire
and periwinkle, countless shades of blue are being seen on dresses, tops,
skirts and more during the summer months and will continue to be seen this
fall.
Kenzo’s Spring/Summer Ready to Wear
2014 line was one of my favourites of the shows displaying the ocean’s
hues. The models were adorned with crop
tops with laser cut hemlines in the shapes of waves, water prints that looked
like they had been drawn with pencil crayons, and stiff scuba fabrics. Zara has taken note of this look and has
created a few crop tops that take inspiration from this line (note my
inexpensive Zara version above). By styling this top with a plain low-slung
pant or skirt (while showing some belly) or a simple high-waisted paint or top,
you provide focus to the uniqueness of the watery hemline.
