Christina Ricci and Pan Am, Plus Upcoming Events

First and foremost... Things have been crazy busy lately so please excuse my recent absence!! I'm finally back in the swing of things and am so excited about some of the latest fashion news and upcoming events that I will be attending!

PAN AM

Top: Moschino 

Shorts: ASOS

Christina Ricci looks gorgeous on the cover of NYLON for their September 2011. This shoot served to promote her new show, "Pan Am" which premiered on ABC on Sunday. As an early 20th century history buff and lover of vintage fashion, I definitely tuned in to the premiere... if not for the plot, for the clothes and hairstyles. Christina plays Maggie, a Pan Am stewardess. I was presently surprised to find out that the show was actually intriguing! I'm looking forward to next week's episode!

UPCOMING EVENTS

The LSS Awards on Saturday, October 1 from 7:00 PM- 10:00 PM (LOCATION: 116 N. Kent St. Arlington, VA 22209)

"The 1st Annual LSS Awards will be held October 1, 2011 and will honor upcoming and established artists, new business ventures, production companies and community activists. Combining workforces with Jaicee Events, a signature event planning firm, this red carpet awards show will be held at Spectrum Theatre in Arlington/Rosslyn, VA (right outside of Georgetown). Further, the event will be followed by an invite only reception for exhibitors, nominees and select and advance ticketed guests."

DC HEARTS THE ARTS! NOW ON OCTOBER 5TH AT FORUM THEATRE

There will be live music, theatre monologues, art, and a fashion show! I'm super excited to see some of the designers pictured above including Saint Chic, Elley Gene, Ipanema, Walish Gooshe, REtroCYCLED, and Scarves by JEM. 

Wishful thinking...

The Start of NYFW

It's everyone's favorite time of the year! Well, everyone in the fashion industry at least (oh, and those of us who love football!!). Yesterday kicked off the start of NYFW (and the start of the NFL season) and I am very excited to see what trends will surface this time around. Here's a portion of BCBG's (Max Azria) Spring 2012 shoe collection all lined up before their show! Aren't they pretty?

The line is flowly, feminine and  geometrically daring all at the same time. The pieces from this collection are not my favorite (and I probably wouldn't be able to confidently wear any of them seeing as though I'm super short), but nonetheless, the colors and shapes of the dresses/pants are beautiful. 

What do you think?

FASHION INSPIRATION

I recently photographed a dear friend of mine who happens to be an actor and model in the Charlotte area. He is currently a Communications and Performance major at The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and is a Public Relations intern at a non-profit organization called Bella Love. While this is by no means a professional photography session, Antony Bernard looks great in an outfit by GAP and shoes by Kenneth Cole. Antony will be participating in a number of upcoming fashion shows, plays, and films in the near future. Follow him on his journey here: @AntonyBernard1

Sunglasses: Boris & Natasha 

Shirt and Pants: Gap

Shoes: Kenneth Cole
