You may or may not remember hearing about 13-year-old blogger, Tavi Gevinson, attending New York Fashion Week back in September. Yes it's true. This young blogger was lucky enough to not only attend fashion week but also sit front row with some of the most fashionable/stylish individuals of the industry! Now, come today, she is a muse for Kate and Laura Mulleavy, the sisters behind Rodarte and even wrote a few articles for POP magazine and Haper's Bazaar!
Unfortunately, not everyone became of fan of this little blogger. In fact, some fashion editors are upset that bloggers are becoming so popular among runway shows. But why must there be drama between the new and old media? Bloggers are just as important and influential to fashion-- just as much as an overpaid editor or journalist. Fashion is for everyone and therefore everyone should be aloud to have their input, especially if we are the ones buying it! Designers seem to agree however. They know that bloggers have the advantage of direct and immediate reporting, unlike magazines who don't always have the opportunity to go into print right after a show. So really, are bloggers considered a threat or neccesity for the fashion world?
On the New York Times website they address a similar question, you can read more on it in their article: Bloggers Crash Fashion's Front Row

Designers Derek Lam and Phillip Lim showed off a few sequin pieces in their individual lines this year at Fashion Week. Now sequin fashions are popping up everywhere; from clothes to shoes to accessories, sequins are it! For New Years Eve this year I plan on wearing a black sequin dress. I found the perfect one at agacistores.com. I wish that I could afford the dresses straight off the runway, but for now I will be okay shopping within my means. If you are looking for an outfit for the holidays check out a few of my favorite choices.

Love it or not shoulder pads are back from the past. Lately they have been everywhere and worn by everyone. From Kate Moss to Beyonce, from jackets and blazers to evening gowns and casual tops, bold shoulders are now in. Once again designer Phillip Lim debuted his look on the runway, but my guess is everyone will love the look but not everyone will love the price tag. So here are a few of my favorite choices that I found.

This year's Fashion Week debuted some new trends for the fall/winter season. One of the key styles being one-shoulder dresses. By far my favorite trend of the year, whether it is short or long sleeve. Such dresses have been made popular and can be seen worn by my very own fashion icon, Kim Kardashian, and many other celebrity women. I love to follow some of the trends set by fashion week and celebs, but I also like to shop for the best deals. Check out a few dresses that I found, that I love and won’t break your bank account!
