Street Steeze

Quote of the Day

 "Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live."                                                                                            — Gianni Versace

Song of the Day: Magic-Coldplay

Inspiration. One of the most important concepts in fashion. We design to inspire and we style to inspire. Without inspiration we wouldn't have the creativity to power the universe. Okay cut this is getting way too Ghandi for me. But my message is still the same fashion originated from the streets. Designers like Karl Legerfield and Betsy Johnson would not be where they are today without being inspired by the people around them. This is the beginning of my Street Steeze segment.

Oscars 2014 Worst to Best Dressed

Quote of the Day: “So soon as a fashion is Universal, it is out of date.”  

                                                                                            -Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach

Song of the Day: Calvin Harris - Summer

Here's to my fifth favorite day of the year-right after Toonie Tuesday at KFC and before National Skip Day- Le Oscars.

I really don't know what to say to this. It's offensive really. Wrapping your daughter's basement curtains on top of your button down shirt is not appropriate no matter how late you are to this event. It's the Oscar's my friend. Julia Roberts tried it last time, it didn't really work please don't try it again. And that long pearl necklace-that resembles one of a kitchen tassel-needs to be burned immediately. No wonder we only see your upper half on The View.

 Quote of the Day: "I like being a woman, even in a man’s world. After all, men can’t wear dresses, but we can wear the pants."

                                                                      — Whitney Houston

Ciao, Gütentag, Bonjour, Hello…that's about all I know. This is me trying to look extremely cultured and failing. It's not like I totally just copy pasted this from Google Translations.

I would like to introduce a new segment on my blog called Steeze Steelz. It will be every month and will show you the best fashion finds I managed to snag at that time. Also, It‘ll tell you how you can pair them to make yourself look fashionable or at least not fashion challenged.

Anywho, this weekend I finally got to go shopping. My parents feel its unnecessary to "spend" money on clothes every month resulting in my virtually nonexistent fashion friendly closet. Thanks to having a big sister-that can make even the most hideous of corduroy pants look like something off the shelves of Saks Fifth- I don't look like a social leper when walking outside to face the day. 

My mom thought it was finally time to treat me after all these years of wardrobe abuse. So she gave me the Holy Grail of all shopping, the root of life or the politically correct term le credit card. I know, I know your probably thinking Who is this bad-ass and how can I be just like her? And it's fine really I'm totally flattered. 

New York Fashion Week

Qoute of the Day: "I think there is beauty in everything. What ‘normal’ people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it."

                                                                                  — Alexander McQueen

Song of the Day: RadioHead- Lotus Flower (Jaques Greene Remix)

There comes a time in one's life where everything social media needs to be shut off. A time where celebrities get front row seats to the hottest of shows. A time where over-credited socialites like Kendall Jenner are rubbing shoulders with fashion royalty like Anne Wintour. This time is Fashion Week.

Sorry that I haven't updated in a while but I couldn't bare to see all the Instagram photos or stupid tweets of how awesome people with equally as awesome lives were living it up this past week while I stayed at home with a smashed iPhone screen and an abundant amount of English homework. I'll tell you this before I start, every time fashion weeks comes around I tend to coincidentally disappear off the face off the earth and drown my sorrows in cheap Chapman's ice cream. So next time I go Caspar you'll know why.

There are four major fashion weeks and for some reason Toronto thinks their part of that fantastic four which is laughable to say the least. NYC, Milan, London and Paris come together twice a year to tell us what's in and what's out. They show us the newest trends of the season so we don't commit fashion suicide when frolicking the streets of our hometown, and for that we are extremely grateful. With 256 shows in about the time span of a month it's no wonder Fashion Week is one of the most popular events in the world. But sadly it is near impossible to see all these shows at once with all the intertwining schedules. It's a dog eat dog world, what can I say? 

Now, I'm sure there were many awesome and wonderful collections strutting down the Mercedes Benz catwalk but naming all of them would be a bore. So I'm going to stick with all the highlights of last week.

GRAMMY'S Best and Worst Dressed 2014

                                                                

Quote of the Day: "Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak," 

                                                                                        -Rachel Zoe

Song of the Day: When A Fire Starts To Burn-Disclosure

Grammy's are the mother of all events and their sole purpose is to provide us irrelevant norms an inside look on how awesome it is to be a celebrity. With all the gorgeous dresses adorning their million dollar torsos, no wonder we all crave the lifestyle. 

But wherever there's a will, there's a way to get back at the celebs. And that's way is the Red Carpet. We've seen some Do's and Don'ts over the years. But this year has to take the cake. I know they say New Year, New Me but sometimes changing your stylist is not the best idea. 

Pharrell Williams

Wearing a Vivian Westwood hat and a red leather Adidas sweater he totally owns it. Pharrell basically produced half of the songs at the Grammy's so he has earned the right to dress outrageously. Only him. It takes someone with great confidence to pull off this Lone Ranger hat and he was just the guy.
