"Oscars Red Carpet Review: Princesses and Sirens, on Parade" -Matthew Schneier

Starting from the get-go Matthew Schneier lays down the plan by describing the silhouettes as "their massive ball skirts"  hence princesses to "strut in dresses sleek, slinky often high-lit" regarding mermaids.

Some of the details he mentions are the "classic bow tie and studs" uncomfortable shoes which are a classic. He also mentions clutched evening bags, feathered dresses and white sequined dresses.

Gotta say my favorite part was reading about the colors, well the play on words. "An optimistic Oscar gold" as well as Black on Black, which is personally feel might be the wave. Also peachy  and flash of color seemed to pop out throughout the article.

 When it came to menswear he pointed out how "most men wisely embrace a policy of decorous restraint. A foray into navy from basic black was as far as many men dared" which I don't necessarily agree with. Mostly because I usually see the same boring Navy Blue or Black suit matched with white button down. Although it wasn't many some actors tried to switch it up this time, as did Mahershala Ali in black on black

#3 Shades of Blue

My favorite garment is the Jean Jacket.

I love the simplicity of it,

the dress-up or the dress-down, the clean fit or the

rugged/patched/destroyed, but most of all my favorite is the Denim on Denim. 

Through out last week I found myself being attentive whenever I saw a denim jacket, taking notes in 

my head about how it was styled.

 It was interesting to see how many individuals would take the Jean Jacket and incorporate their own style into it and how many others wore it just because it happened to be in their closet. 

Another interesting factor was how after all these decades of denim, blue is still the most popular color, although there were hints of red and pink denim in the streets of New York.

Yes, the Jean Jacket has become a fashion piece in our closets to many of us, but to the majority of us it's still a staple piece we wear over a hoodie in a soft winter day.

#1 Three Fave Fashion Blogs

    As I started this journal with little to no experience in the blog world, I have come to be more aware of the creative minds around me and actually found some very interesting bloggers that won't end up being another "following" on Instagram.

While researching for bloggers worthy enough to be part of my beginners blog I decided to start from someone whom I had some knowledge of, Christina Lau. She's an FIT graduate who is a "part-time blogger and full-time victim of wonderlust"

What captivates me mostly by Camille Charriere is the the color story of her photographs, how they make my eyes travel.

Third, but definitely not last is Yoyo Kulala

The Singaporean social media star climbed the walls of the industry only to end up with her own clothing brand and blog within a short amount of time. Her blog YOYOKULALA serves as a guide that gives her take about whats going in the fashion world.
