Fashion Sketches

As you know I ADORE fashion, and I want to be a fashion designer when I grow up.  Starting this fashion blog was so much fun for me because it is doing all of my favorite things, fashion, talking, and writing.  I also love to sketch and design clothing.  This post is going to be about my sketching and what my designs are about.

This outfit is a jumper with sparkle and a big belt.  You might say that it was finished and the jumper was gray and white, or you could say I have not got to color the jumper yet.  I don't know which one is true i might finish the design later or I might keep it that way.

This design is a dress but i designed it to look like it was a a shirt with a wrap sweater for a bottom. The sweater part of the dress is tied with a orange thin belt.  The shoes are wedges, they have a peep toe.  The wedge part is orange, to match the belt.

This outfit is a low key more comfy outfit.  As you can see the model is wearing converse sneakers, instead of high heels.  The jeans are bell bottom, and the shirt is a fun long sleeve for a cold windy day. This outfit could be worn to a fair or just on a fall day.

                                                                                                  Stay Designing,

Match times two

It feels good to be back and writing blogs!  Earlier this morning i was looking in vouge, and I came across the most wanted coats and bags.  The coats and bags matched, but the coolest thing about them was that the bags and coats wear not designed by the same designers!  I thought to my self "Maybe I should write a blog about it."  My blog today is going to be about matching bags and coats.

The coat is a Rag and Bone Wooster coat, and the clutch is a Tommy Hilfiger Houndstooth clutch.  Even though the have some different colors in them, like the clutch has a blue pattern.  This works because the blue is the same pattern as the check in the coat.

This coat is a Elizabeth and James Colton coat, and the bag is a Fendi Adele bag.  This is a great winter  coat because it will keep you nice and warm but it also has a bright color so it will pop in the dull colors of winter.  The bag match's right along plus you can also wear it as a fun summer bag.

Last but not least this coat is a Brandon Sun geometric dyed mink coat. The bag is a Versace white and black mink fur bag.  Well this coat is going to keep you warm in the winter, and the bag is a perfect match.  Let me tell you one thing you will not get cold wearing this coat and bag!

High Line Fashion

              Summer.  The clothing, the shoes, the bags, the fashion.  I think summer is all about the sun, swimming, summer camp, no school.  Every kid thinks that of summer, but thats not only what I think about summer.  I think about the clothing, the shoes, the bags, and the people of summer.

              As you know I live in New York City.  I live near the High Line, which is an elevated old railroad with plants growing on the train tracks.  Many people go and see the High Line and walk down it.  Along the way you can get ice cream, buy cool clothing, and you can see amazing buildings.  You can also see the fashion people wear.  I took all of the pictures in this post.

             

This shirt is so cute.  The yellow is like sunshine.  The black in the shirt does not look like a dark color, because it is mixed with white and it has some gray in it so it lightens up the darkness of the black.

This lady has decided to wear pattern on pattern, with a patterned top and a matching bottom.  Most people would think two patterns in one outfit would be to much, but in this outfit the coloring is the same and the pattern on the pants is so small the outfit looks good.

This baby blue halter dress is just amazing.  I love everything about the dress.  The style of the dress is so unique.  The color is perfect for a hot summer day and the hair up just completes the outfit.

                                            Stay cool,

Trend Report: Isaac Mizrahi

   Once again I haven't been writing many blogs lately.  There has been so much going on in fifth grade and I don't have a lot of free time.  With after school activities and homework, time is everything.  This designer I am going to focus on today is known to have bright, colorful, formal and clever clothing designs.  His name is Isaac Mizrahi.  Isaac designs clothing, bedding and even dog collars!

    

 This first piece that Isaac designed is a colorful bright spring time dress.  The cheerful color makes the dress bright and young. Great for the warm weather ahead!

  The accessories that are on the model make the style of the dress a little more funky then if it were pearls and more classic jewelry.   

Although this dress is similar to the other with the bow on the waist, the neckline has a different cut.  The cut of the neckline makes the dress look like a halter top dress in a way.  The sunglasses make the dress look a little less formal and more funky like the jewelry did on the first dress.

 This dress has a unique touch because of the length and the cut of the neck.  This dress is a little more classy then all the others because of the length.  What I noticed about all the dresses is that they all have the bow tied on the waist.

In conclusion, I think that Isaac Mizrahi is an amazing designer and that his dress designs have a classic, fancy, fun, and unique look and feel.  They can be worn for many different events and and depending on how you wear them and what you wear with them you have a different style.

                                                                                              

Stay fashionable,

Trend Report: Lindsey Thornburg

Once again i have been on vacation, and i didn't really have time to write a blog.  I may not be writing many blogs in the next few weeks, because of school and big tests are coming up and i don't have a lot of free time.  This has been my first blog in a while, so i am just warning you that it might not be as good as my blogs in the past.  Today i am interested in Lindsey Thornburg.  Her style is a cool, comfy look.  Lindsey uses her colors in a good way because she really makes the colors blend into each other.  he way Lindsey blends darker colors and the lighter colors together is a look most people would think twice about wearing but i personally think that it looks good and looks unique.

     This first item of clothing is like a poncho.  To me it looks a lot like a blanket my parents have in their bedroom.  The hood  and sleeves of the poncho are wide and almost look like they are going to slip/fall off.

This next one is the dress that i mentioned in the beginning, the one with lighter and darker colors.  It kind of looks like tye-dye.  And the dress looks like a robe.  This dress also has sleeves that look like they are going to fall/slip off.

This dress is more of a summer dress.  I like it because the knot on the bottom with the extra fabric hanging catches my eye.

This last outfit is a spring one.  It has a mix of different colors.  The bright blue shirt with the black skirt and hat.  

Once again i am might not be writing a lot of blogs in the next few weeks, because of tests and school.  I will try my best to write a couple of blog posts.

                                                                                                Stay Fashionable,

Nanette Lepore Clothing

      After seeing the Nanette Lepore clothing line at JCPenny I thought I have to do a blog on the clothing.  These shirts, dresses, and pants are very spring time and summer clothing.  The bright colors really make the clothing pop.

      This sheer orange stylish top looks great with all the pockets and how the shirt buttons up the middle, it's fabulous.  The collar of the shirt makes the shirt look better.

These fabulous striped pants are amazing and are so fun and cool.  The thing that makes the pants look even better is that there are little stars on the fabric, not only stripes.  

Next, this dress is a peachy color with white strips.  The red belt with the dress adds color, in a good way.  The nice thing is that the dress is not too long or too short, it is a nice length.

           
                                                                                                                  So head to JCPenny,

Exercise Clothing

   After a day of sight seeing in your own city you are full of ideas.  One of the things I noticed was the fashion up town, it was funny to see how different the style was.  One of the most popular things I saw people wearing was exercise clothing.  When most people think about exercise clothing they think sporty, and they think not very fashionable.  The truth is that some exercise clothing can be sporty, and others can be stylish. 

   CW- X is a great brand to buy running pants from because they have a good verity of colors and different style pants.  The pants below are CW-X pants.  The color is a raspberry shade, and then from the bottom of the pants the pattern grows out to black.

   Another great brand is Brooks.  They make such cute sweaters.  The sweater's color really pops out, like these.  The colors are great for winter because every thing is gray, and then these are so bright it almost hurts your eyes to look at them!

   One last clothing brand that sells great clothing is New Balance.  Their tank tops are so alive, full of patterns.  This tank top is a maroon color and then there are red highlights.  The other tank top is going crazy with patterns.  There is blue and it almost looks tye-dyed with other blues.

Stay comfy and stylish
