Fashion, Beauty, Lifestyle, and Food Marketing Proposals for O, The Oprah Magazine.
Feeling like your skin needs a little pick me up after the long winter season spent indoors? It's your lucky day. We have tried and tested all of the products needed to prep for springtime fashion. Here's your ultimate guide to glowy skin.
In this article, I highlight three trendsetters in my life. They all have distinct styles that correlate with their stories.
In my fashion and beauty writing class, we were given the task to create a fashion and beauty spread called the “The Start” for InStyle magazine.
FLIGHT FOR ONE romanticizes and empowers a life in solitude. In the past and continuing present, it has been rare to see a woman take a vacation flight alone, a trip to the city on the train alone, or any other activity that one may believe is a “two or more person trip.
The mission of Aurora is to create minimalistic, fashionable street style designs ethically and sustainably in a wide assortment of sizes to promote body positivity, sustainable fashion, and style. Aurora is all about making conscious changes to becoming perfectly imperfect whether that is in becoming zero waste, sustainable, or in all aspects of life.
This summer I had the pleasure of working as a ShopBAZAAR intern at Harper’s Bazaar US. It was the most incredible experience and I feel now that I definitely know what I am looking for in my future career. HB really has it all.
Being stuck at home has definitely brought out my creative side. I have been seeing this trend all over Tik Tok and Pinterest, where people take thrifted men’s shirts and make them into crop top and skirt sets. This is a super easy project to do.
In the midst of a global pandemic, it seems as if everyone has decided to come face to face with the artist, chef, and creativity within them. This led to A LOT of tie-dye action taking place. I thought to myself, “No way am I hopping on that bandwagon. That’s all anyone is doing right now.”
This past year the ankle tie up trend in sandals and heels has been everywhere. Recently the square toe shape has been added to this design. It gives it a structured and edgy look, while a pointed or rounded toe is a more girly and softer vibe.
While I have been stuck at home during this quarantine, I have been focusing on my skincare. I have always been the type of person that always does my makeup, whether a full face or just a quick tinted moisturizer.
This semester for my final project in my visual merchandising class we were to design a new store location for a brand of our choice. I decided to create a New York location for the brand Cult Gaia. I created a store design, window display, and merchandise displays.
During quarantine, it’s easy to mope around and feel a little blue. I have been really focusing on my skincare during this self-isolation period because I’m not wearing makeup on a day to day basis. But to lift my spirits I decided to do a full face, with a show-stopping blue lid.
For upcoming seasons, a trend that will be seen everywhere is “Waste is the New Black.” This trend is all about sustainability and byproducts living a new life. It’s about being undone, not worrying about perfection and all about searching for connection.
As spring approaches so do all of the fresh spring trends. Here are the trends that I think will be big this spring, and no, it’s not florals.
As spring approaches I have been seeing this beachy, crimped wave look everywhere. Sofia Ritchie does this look all of the time to her hair, and I saw that she was promoting a large barrel crimper, but I wanted this look for myself ASAP and didn’t want to have to buy another hot tool.
As February wraps up I will have been living in Florence, Italy for a month now. Studying abroad was always something that I wanted to do while I was in college. It is definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity, to be able to immerse yourself into a completely different culture for four months.
For TREND magazine Issue Noº 27, Raw Form, I was in the role Story Styling Director alongside three other co-directors. We had the job of creating, directing, and styling photoshoots for all of the stories written for the magazine by the editorial team.
For the Spring 2019 issue of TREND magazine, Rediscovered Youth, I was the Social Media Director. This was such a fun opportunity to take the aesthetic of the theme of the magazine and use that to create content for the TREND social media handles.
If you follow me on Instagram, then it is very clear to you that I made a huge lifestyle change and moved to New York City this summer.
In my global sourcing class we were given the company, Rag & Bone and the country of Pakistan. We then had to decide if Pakistan was a good choice of a country for Rag & Bone to source their men’s poly-blend tees and tanks at. Check it out to find out what we decided.
In my class focussed on stitches and seams, we were given the task to take an outdated skirt design and to refresh it. My group went for a mustard yellow, 70’s inspired look for our selected target customer.
In my retail merchandising class we had to choose a brand that we wanted to create a new line for and come up with different business strategies for the brand. My group and I decided to do our project on Calvin Klein. Here is our finished project!
This Spring Break I had the amazing opportunity of traveling all the way from Ames, Iowa to New York City for a field study trip. During this trip we were able to explore the city, while also learning so much about the fashion industry and getting to see possible future places to be employed like Hearst, Dolce & Gabbana, and Tommy Hilfiger, just to name a few.
For Trend No° 25, Prospective Noise, I was a part of the story styling committee. This meant that we got the stories from the editorial team and then had to conceptualize a photoshoot for each story. We chose models, pulled clothing, decided hair and makeup, found locations, and decided poses, just to name a few of our tasks.
Matching sets have been a trend for a couple of years now. Starting as more of an athleisure and loungewear phenomenon, sets are transitioning into more of a high-end, ready-to-wear staple in people’s wardrobes.
