the go-to guy!

hi all. i haven't done this in a long while!


hope everything is going great for you! both in the blogging world and in reality! i know i haven't been holding onto my end of the of bargain (writing 2 blogs/wk) but i'm doing 3 internships this summer. i'm excited to tell you that i am interning for Brian Reyes, LLC. Brian is a young but very talented designer (check out his latest Resort collection-- http://www.brianreyes.com/)!! a lot of young starlets are falling in love with his designs! i predict he will be the go-to designer for celebrities looking to find red carpet looks.



unfortunately, red carpet looks means needing a red carpet budget. BUT-- next week, JULY 20th, gilt.com (the website that brings sample sales to you) will give you a chance to buy his garments for a fraction of the retail price!! as a fan of both gilt.coma and Brian Reyes i begged our sales team to give me a sneak peak at what i should expect to see...here they are! enjoy!

Michael Jackson: Fashion Icon

Life has been crazy, but I have finally found sometime to write a blog about the King of Pop's passing, Michael Jackson. Everyone knows the impact he has made in the music industry, but his memory does not only exist in music. Michael Jackson has made a strong impact in the world of fashion, from the sequin glove to the military uniforms.

Michael Jackson never feared to take risks, but his style showed that any outfit can be fashionable...if you work it right. My favorite MJ fashion moment (this might be bias because of the song) is the looks in the "Beat It" music video.

Who could seriously resist that bad boy leather jacket? The main reason I love it... its different. Unlike other bad boy looks, its a red leather jacket and has the MJ touch of the military inspired looks. To top it off, that belt is nuts! The double belt with chains completely sharpens the look. The "Beat It" video also, contains the fashionable fedora hat with the fashionable large black sunglasses. MJ did not just assist in making these items fashionable, but making them "cool" during a time when bad was popular. I decided, in his memory, to use this video's theme as my inspiration for the photo shoot I am doing for Paws Model and Talent next week.

That's my favorite MJ fashion moment... share yours.
