Carrie’s Chakra Meditation: Balancing Fame & Fashion & The High School Dance

surprise

A STAR IS BORN

Look at the incredible detail built into this ballet dress by Georges Chakra! The decollete is sheer nude encrusted with green crystals and rhinestones! And it frames her Alex Woo “C” necklace amazingly. Carrie Bradshaw enjoys her first 15 minutes of fame in Interview Magazine, seeing her hand painted Mark Cross bag; it’s her first feature in Interview, her favorite magazine of all time. The jade earrings are also a jaw dropper, with their crystal teardrops dangling in the center!

Watch Carrie and her friends dance the night away in The Carrie Diaries “Caught” episode on The CW.

XOXOE!

Maggie “Caught” Dancing on Thin Ice (In Silver, Sequins, and Icy Ombre!)

While Carrie and the Kydd kid pretended not to be staring at each other, looking through the eyes of love, from across the gym, Maggie was a dancing queen in her own private ice castle in an iridescent sheer blue sequined sleeveless ice skater dress from Asos.

CAUGHT: CAUSIN’ A COMMOTION

While Carrie and the Kydd kid pretended not to be staring at each other, looking through the eyes of love, from across the gym, Maggie (Katie Findlay @katedangerfield) was a dancing queen in her own private ice castle in her iridescent sheer blue sequined sleeveless ice skater dress from Asos. I put a mini purple crinoline by Legs Avenue for extra flair! The belt is a TopShop iridescent seafoam cracked pattern (think thin ice!) The earrings are a dangling clear lucite hoop with gold dusting. Her silver glitter kitten heels with center silver bow are by Nina. #PRIVATEDANCER!

Watch Carrie and her friends dance the night away in The Carrie Diaries “Caught” episode on The CW.

XOXOE!

’80s FASHION FLASHBACK @ERICDAMAN_STYLE REFLECTS ON A TEEN #STYLEICON

eric_daman_seniorpic88

Upon graduating from the tiny Mooresville Highschool, deep in the midlands of the midwest, never did I think I would end up in Paris or NYC. Much less have an exciting career in film, tv, and fashion as a costume designer. Back then there were no “celebrity” stylists, fashion blogs, or even the internet for that matter. I started college the next year as a political science major with an international business minor at Wabash, but graduated four years later from the Sorbonne with a French literature degree.

In the midwestern ’80s a teen boy would find few aspirations to take on the haute couture world of the Upper East Side. But I had a passion for fashion that kept driving me forward to the next level. I would drive an hour to the nearest mall to get Interview Magazine. Now I have the privilege and honor to be a part of it all, right outside my East village doorstep.

Recently, I found my senior portrait, above. It’s a far cry from my modelling days with Steven Meisel, but still relevant, and quite revealing. As you can see, my love of accessories goes back a long way! I would wear proudly wear my entire Swatch collection, all at the same time, naturally. I know I raised a few eyebrows but I didn’t care. It must be then in the back of mind I was unconsciously formulating a mantra of my own: Don’t apologize, accessorize.

After almost 25 years of taking chances and leaps of faith, here I am. Looking back on my own ’80s coming-of-age era, I aim to inspire a new vision with a familiar name: #CARRIEBRADSHAW.

XOXOE

@ROBBANNASOPHIA THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE NEW PHOTOS OF TEEN #CARRIEBRADSHAW! XOXOE!

AnnaSophia Robb’s Natural Tonality Is Really Spring—
As Carrie Bradshaw She’s A Girl Styled For All Seasons!

ASR’s cool blue eyes, fair hair, and rose gold skin tone means she’s a shoe-in for the colors normally known for their popularity in Spring: lilac, tangerine, butter, soft gold, turquoise— the range of colors budding in a blooming spring bouquet.

#Fashion411: I’m using my styling technique known as “face-framing”. I use colors and tones that complement her natural coloring, so I can add other colors to harmoniously expand my range of styling possibilities. AnnaSophia’s frosty, metallic-purple, oversized neck chain creates a visual segue to her fuschia belt, a more saturated variation on the pink in her top.

A graceful transition from light to dark allows the styling to move from Spring colors, into deeper-toned Summer colors, and further into the rich deep floral pattern of her skirt and underlying purple crinoline, normally considered a Winter color. Finally I can transition into the full deep rich midnight-indigo tone of her shoes.

Framing your face means understanding your native palette.
It’s your greatest asset no matter what “season” you are.
From there you can wear any other color you like…
As long as you’re careful to frame your face!

XOXOE!
