Around the World in Fashion: Russia

I've noticed that a lot of my readers live in Russia and being fashionably curious I went online to see what the fashion scene is like there.


After a quick search, different Russian Fashion Week coverage surfaced:

Here are a few of the Street shots I could find:

If you live in Russia or have any fashionable Russian style photos please submit them and I will feature them in an upcoming post!

Solange Knowles Fashion Week Gold

Solange has been featured on my blog several times and I'm not ashamed. I love her style and how she breaks the rules only the way she can. I'm also happy she is still rocking the natural hair! 


Her style during Fashion week was insane, to bad she will never do a clothing line unless it's a collaboration. 


She has great style and I'm excited for her new album (that should be coming out soon). Until then we will have to deal with her impeccable sense of style.

What was your favorite Solange moment?

Back to School: Books

You can't have school without having books. So why not make some of those books fashion books. These four books are full of fashion information and pictures and are worth adding to your fashion library. 

The first book off the list I have not read, but I recently read so many great reviews that I've added it to my Wish List. This book is written by a fashion stylist for all inspiring fashion stylist (like me!).  

• Secrets of Stylist by: Sasha Charnin Morrison

I devoured this book when I read it and took pages worth of notes. For anyone wanting a career in fashion please read this book. It gives not only great advice, but tools and real stories from the experts and interns alike. 

• The Teen Vogue Handbook

The next book is an amazing blog and an amazing book full of street pictures. I was so obsessed with the fashion inside this book I photographed the pages with a camera and have them archived.

• The Sartorialist by Scott Schuman

If you are a fan of Nylon Magazine, you will love this book. It's a collection of street fashion from around the world. You will fall in love by some and be shocked by other countries fashion styles. 

• Street: The Nylon Book of Global Style

Enjoy a good fashion read to relax your mind during such a busy school year. You won't even realize you are learning about the fashion industry.

Fun Photo Shoot

I mentioned yesterday that I went out and had a mini photo shoot at a few locations around the city. It was in the evening so the sun was beginning to set and that made the bonus photo look even better.


In the past I wore button up shirts and accessorized with hats, watches and earrings. So today I decided to keep it very minimal and focus on pairing three different colors. Plus, I wanted to create a few looks that had the potential to be male model photos.


Wardrobe: Black Henley(Gap), Red Shorts(Thrift Store) and Classic White Shoes(Aldo).
