| Emma Roberts as KKT sorority president and HBIC Chanel Oberlin in Fox's Scream Queens |
The characters are silly and over-the-top, and I love the distinct style of Ryan Murphy shows (voiceovers, cool camera shots, and quick-witted quips, check!), but what gets me really going is the fabulous style of the Chanels (Chanel Oberlin refers to all of her minions as "Chanel" because memorizing their names is sooo below her). Dressed in 90s-tinged pastel tweed skirtsuits and an absurd amount of fur—not that I'm complaining, but seriously, I've never seen so much pink fur in my life—the Chanels are the Plastics meets Clueless meets a ladies-who-lunch wardrobe. The forced cutesy style of the Chanels, of course, undercuts their ruthlessness. These girls are downright horrible, and one of them *SPOILER* straight-up murders a woman in the pilot (possibly two? She claims both were accidents, we'll see).
Evil or not, the girls dress to kill (pastel has never seemed so devious!) and boy is it great. Chanel #3 wears earmuffs for some unexplained reason, Ariana Grande's character Chanel #2 dresses like a preppy space alien, and OG Chanel Oberlin rocks pastel gloves and oversized sunglasses like no other.
I'd place bets that dressing as the Chanels will be a big group costume trend this Halloween. Evil sorority girl murdering aside, we should aspire to dress like the Chanels; just maybe don't, you know, aspire to be like them.

| Viola Davis wins the Emmy for Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series |
The fashion was incredible, too! Sequins and embellishments ruled the red carpet, along with blush pink (a trend that's been big on the Spring 2016 runways as well) and saturated colors. Let's also give major props to these ladies for rocking evening wear in 100 degree heat; I was wearing shorts and a tank top all day and I was sweating.
Anyways, here are some of my favorite looks from the evening!

Let's talk about New York Fashion Week!
3.1 Phillip Lim
Phillip Lim, how does your garden grow? To celebrate 10 years of his namesake line, Lim presented a collection that was inspired by the earth, by dirt, by how things grow. Models maneuvered around giant mounds of compost dirt in earth-toned ensembles like high-fashion gardeners. Paper bag waists, forest greens, and floral motifs dominated the show. It was the perfect celebration of the Phillip Lim style, both modern and romantic, pretty and tough. I love the idea of growth and nature as a starting point for an anniversary show; if not a bit literal of an analogy of the brand's growth over the past decade, it is clever.
Coach
Coach has been in the process of revitalizing their brand image, and the next logical step after relaunching their ready-to-wear section was holding its first-ever fashion show. Based on the number of Instagrams from influential bloggers and fashion people at the show, it was a success! For Spring 2016, head designer Stuart Vevers conjured up clothes for a modern-day Laura Ingalls Wilder with a dream to start an 80s-style all-girl rock band. Leather jackets met calico print, Western suedes were paired with neon and leopard, and so on. It's very much on-trend with the Wild West trend of NYFW thus far, and I know the fashion crowd is going to eat these clothes up.
Prabal Gurung
When your fashion show begins with thirty monks from Nepal chanting, it is expected that the ensuing collection will be peaceful and serene. Prabal Gurung displayed a stunning tribute to his Nepal roots. When a huge earthquake struck Nepal back in the spring, Gurung launched a social media campaign to raise money for relief efforts, using his influence to do some good in the world. Since then he's gotten a lot of inspiration from the country of Nepal, and this was such a stunning collection that combined the influences of nature, monks, culture, and history with Gurung's unique approach to fashion. I've never thought that orange could be so calming, but you could tell that there was a sense of synergy and connectivity between the clothes and Gurung's points of inspiration. This was by far one of the most refreshing shows so far, and I hope these clothes get the recognition they deserve.Which show was your favorite?

| POSING AGAINST AN AWESOME GRAFFITI WALL WEARING Silence + Noise tank top | Anthropologie skirt | Juicy Couture wedges | Rebecca Minkoff purse | Madewell sunglasses |
One of my friends has an unfortunate summer birthday, meaning none of us were around to celebrate the big 21 with her, so we did a belated birthday party at The Must, a trendy DTLA spot with a delicious brunch menu and a great twist on the usual bottomless mimosa (instead of OJ, they mix their champagne with raspberry or mango sorbet). After toasting to senior year and eating our weight in eggs benedict, we ventured outside for an impromptu photo shoot against a gorgeous graffiti wall of rainbow hearts and a portrait of Audrey Hepburn by Free Humanity, a local graffiti artist. Naturally, I had to snap an #OotD post!
Turns out we hit up the area at the perfect time. Only yesterday, the mural was still being repainted due to another rude graffiti artist tagging the wall right over poor Audrey's face. Rude. So we literally were taking pics with a freshly repainted wall. The artist was so stoked to see us admiring his work that we even ended up on the Free Humanity Instagram!
It's really cool to be able to explore the city, find great food and great art in places you wouldn't expect, all the while rocking a fabulous outfit.
