Trend Board 9 - Lights! Makeup! Action!

Trend Board 9 - Lights! Makeup! Action!
For this board, we were assigned to create a hair & makeup look that may be seen on the runways or high-fashion photo shoot. I like the crazy, big hair look with either full girls or a frizzy puff. Light makeup, soft pink lips with a neutral-pink shadow and a hint of gold. I'd imagine the clothes were pretty, feminine, and classic with muted colors. A range of the color palette on the nails

Trend Board 8 - Sunny Days Ahead

Trend Board -

For this board we were instructed to create something summer/beachwear inspired. I chose to create a look for a beautiful woman spending the day on her wealthy family’s yacht, or perhaps sailing with the love of her life! The white lace romper keeps the look feminine and flirty, but prevents any wind mishaps (i.e. a skirt/dress flying up).  I wanted to keep the feeling nautical with the wooden earrings, yellow rope necklace, and red patent cork platform shoes. Oversized sunglasses are a must!

Trend Board 7 - Style Kaitlyn for NFW

Trend Board: Style Kaitlyn for NFW
This looks was created for my beautiful friend Kaitlyn, while attending some of the Nashville Fashion Week events. I kept her comfy with some dark, distressed skinny jeans. Since Kaitlyn usually steers away from colors, I decided to push her a little with this flowy, coral-colored top (which looks great with her brown hair, btw!). I gave the look some interest with the gold necklace, and nude peep-toe pumps with some intricate gold accents.

Trend Board 6 - Green Shoes from the Start

Trend Board 6 - Green Shoes from the Start
I chose this outfit for Zooey for an afternoon of meetings with some of the industry’s biggest directors. The bold print of the Giambattista Valli dress will make her the center of attention, while the colorful tights and complementing shoes are sure to make her the most memorable meeting of the day for those Hollywood hot shots. She’s got a gray snakeskin tote to carry any necessary notes, and some funky diamond cluster earrings to play off the shiny-ness of the shoes.

Trend Board 5 - Wedding Bells are Ringing

Trend Board 5: Wedding Bells are Ringing

For this assignment, our subject was a wedding. I decided to style myself for a friend’s wedding this spring. Since the wedding colors are pink and beige, I chose a dress that was the opposite color - blue. The lace adds softness, while the sort cut and boat neckline keep it young and flirty (perfect for snagging the best man!) Jewelry is minimal with a glass pear Miu Miu necklace with diamond encrusted bow, and some pearl stud earrings. Since it is an outdoor wedding, I decided to play it safe with some wedges in a nude color to help lengthen my legs.

Trend Board 4 - Photo Taker

Trend Board 3: Photo Taker

For this board, we were assigned to dress a male of our choice for an event of my choice. I chose to keep my board generic and create an outfit for a fun, young photographer heading out on a crisp fall day to shoot some new pics for his portfolio.

I kept this guy, we'll call him Ted, quite casual in some distressed D&G jeans and white Marni button down with black tie. Burberry sneakers and shades add a little class, while the red watch gives a little color. Ted keeps it cozy with a toggle clasp sweater jacket, and of course he can’t forget his CAMERA!

In-Class Activity: Dressing Down?

In-Class Activity: Dressing Down?


For this in-class activity, we were assigned to pick a celebrity and dress them down for a night out. I chose Amanda Seyfried and put her in some dark skinny jeans with comfy wedges. A sequin tank with some blue makes it a bit dressy, but still keeping it casual. Topped off with some cool bird earrings and layered gold bracelets, Amanda is ready to hit the town!
