Happy fashion week LaPazions, I’m really excited sitting here at the Betsey Johnson runway show because, this is a major day. It’s not only the anniversary of 9/11; it’s also Betsey’s anniversary of 50 years in the industry.  50 years, I mean seriously this woman has become a staple to so many and her creativity just keeps bubbling forth.

When I attend a Betsey Johnson runway show; there is so much positive energy and great flowing movement, laughter and a spirit of lightheartedness to the room. I see many of the cast members of Orange is the New Black front and center and; I also heard that this show is dedicated to Betsey’s dance teacher/Choreographer who brought her to New York-you just have to love Ms. Johnson!!

Here is a look into the creative mind of Betsey Johnson and what she presented:BJ 8BJ1BJ2BJ4BJ10BJ18BJ20BJ24

LaPazions, as I sat looking at the collection coming down the runway, there is a piece of me that wants to look and wear this… I mean my personal style is more like Designer Carolina Herrera but, deep inside there is definitely a very fun, free spirited and out right rebel that sometimes comes out and shows her face; and this is EVERYTHING that Betsey Johnson stands for.

She gave us a decade of fashion to celebrate her 50 years in the industry. This runway show was very well thought out and planned because, we started with the present which was kind of an ode to Nicki Minaj, when she was on the outrageous side of fashion, then the 90’s grunge era, 80’s all about hard rock and jumpsuits, the 60’s which gave very wearable content then to the 50’s. I love the whimsy and out right abandonment that Betsey brings to the close of every show-Her signature cartwheel and split get’s better with time:Betsey is the BESTBetsey JohnsonLaPazions, I cannot wait to hear your feedback and tell us your thoughts on this seasons looks from fashion week.

Pause LaPazions, take a very deep breath because not only has New York fashionistas been treated to breathtaking extravagance but, now you will be as well!

I speaking none other than the Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Givenchy collections.. I know you just yelled for joy as much as I did once I got there to witness the first time that Givenchy has shown in NYC!! When it was announced during the finale showing in Paris that, the iconic brand would be coming state side-Let’s just say bells went off in our offices.

I mean the star power was in high demand and in full-support for tonight’s gala or all galas.  The front row read like the whose-who of entertainers, A-listers, top  Designers, Editors-in-Chiefs to socialites- I didn’t know who to look at or take a picture of or just to say well at least I’ve seen them. Carrie Underwood, Kanye and Kim Kardashian-West, Jennifer Hudson, Steven Tyler and his daughter Liv Tyler, Uma Thurman, Debby Harry, Jennifer Hudson, Designer Tory Burch plus many more (Later on I’ll give a pictures of the front row)…

This collection was like the good and bad side of Riccardo Tisci’s mind. I loved how feminine the collection felt yet, it gave you that air of luxury, sex appeal, mystique and allure. The eyelet and lace was gorgeous, sheer romantic fantasy and then the fellas gave the collection another edge and life (can you tell how excited I am over this collection)! I must give you your first look at Givenchy Spring 2016:G1G2G4G5G6G7I know beautiful airy and just breathtaking right!?

LaPazions, Kendall Jenner slayed the runway-Honey she it truly a model and looked stunning even though they bleached all the models eyebrows to look like they had none.  I did find this look a little harsh and odd but, it’s art and taking you to another level mentally to deliver his vision (not sure why they couldn’t have eyebrows but, hey):G3

That walk was giving life to this runway and her look was intense-I really loved seeing Kendall in her real element. Like I told you this event was about the whose-who but, just seated behind everyone was fortunate fashion lovers that was selected to attend the event and they got more than they truly bargained for.

Here are a few celebs that attend this Ahmazing event:CiaraCourtney LoveDesigner Michael Kors

Other Celebs Kanye and Kim, Nicki Minaj, Debby Harry, Uma Thurman, Jennifer Hudson:Jennifer HudsonKanye West and Kim Kardashian-WestNicki Minaj and Debby HarryUma ThurmanLaPazions, we cannot wait to hear your feedback on this stunning collection! Stay close to us there is so much more to come.

Weekend Edition:Tips on Attending Fashion Week on a Budget

Happy weekend LaPazions, we’re literally just a matter of days out from NY Fashion Week and Couture Fashion Week. I have to be honest with you all; if you haven’t had the chance or the opportunity as of yet to attend fashion week I think this is something you need to put on your list of must do’s.

With this being stated I thought I would give you a few tips on how to attend fashion week on a budget (side note: You may want to start a bit earlier with the savings for fashion week). I have five (5) top tips to give you that just may help you just a bit.

Sleeping accomendations

1. Sleeping Accommodations:  The best advice I can give you here if to book early 2-3 months ahead this way you will be assured to get a room. You may want to look at splitting the cost with another Fashion Blogger/Photographer or a great friend that is going to fashion week or just going to be in NYC during the time of fashion week. You can also see if family or friends mind you staying with them for the week or weekend whichever you are doing. The other great tip I can give you is you can also reach out to the Hotels and their PR firms for discounted press rates (no harm no foul).

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

2. Getting from Point A-to-Point B:  Now this is the challenge of challenges because, all your shows may not be in the same place so, grabbing a cab can be rather costly. Here is my tip for you SKIP the cabs and do public transportation. Yes you definitely read that correctly It's so much easier to go on public transportation and you can use Google Maps which will become such a beneficial aid. If you must take a cab try to see if you can split the cost with someone else that maybe going to the same venue or you can try using Uber and Lyft which offer great rates.Enter the text that you want to check for grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes; then click the grey button below.

Chargers 3. Purchase Extra Chargers & Batteries:  You will not know how much this will save you in the long run. I cannot stress how important this is because you don’t want your phone or your camera to die in the middle of the best shot you’ve seen all week. You should invest in a few portable chargers this way you can keep your phone laptop or tablet charged. Batteries will be such and important part of your fashion week as well.

Snackage

4. The Need to Eat:  Eating is such and important part of fashion week because, if you’re anything like me if you have no food in you all day your blood sugar ends up in your feet and you start to feel light-headed and just may pass out (That just isn’t very fashionable nor very cute). I have found it so essential to pack snacks in my tote bag-I have gone to local stores close to my hotel and they sell travel packs of peanut butter and I love caramel rice cakes and you combine the two OH MY WORD!! I like to put protein bars/granola bars in my bag, trail mix and by far do not skip out on your dosages of caffeine. I also grab a few bottles of water from my hotel, Tylenol you never know when you’ll get a headache.

Lastly, just enjoy yourself and take in all the festivities. Remember you are there to cover the shows network and develop new relationships. Try to get your content out as soon as possible and remember when fashion week ends you should be thinking of the following season and what you will do better and differently.

We cannot wait to hear your feedback and even some of your great tips that you have for attending and planning for fashion week.

Red Carpet Review Live VMA’s 2015

VMAs

Editor-in-Chief: Sonya LaRae

Senior Editor: Nile Harper

Article by: Erin Gomez-Certified Image Consultant, Fashion/Style Journalist

Photographs provided by: Nicolas Coleman II-Freelance for Lapazimageing Fashion Forward

Hello LaPazions, so last night was the VMA’s and I can honestly say the red carpet was just as uneventful as the real show.  I guess I don’t need to delay on getting this review underway because; if you watched the live show last night you know we all have lost valuable brain cells from this train wreck. 

We’re going to start with the host of the night Ms. Miley Cyrus. I definitely wasn't shocked by any of Miley's antics and really thought MTV is so desperate for shock and awe ratings, that they’d give this girl a platform of vulgarity and promoting smoking pot:Miley Cyrus VersaceMiley selected to wear basically nothing with a little tape covering her nipples and pieces of crystals covering her front and knee-high metallic silver platform boots to compliment her butt-less outfit Designed by Atelier Versace… How to dumb down your brand need I really say more?

Next was golden statements worn by Nicki Minaj and Britney Spears:

I didn’t think either of these gowns complimented either of these stars figure.  Britney looked as if the top half of the dress was extremely too small and too tight for her particular body-shape, where Nicki however, look a little overwhelmed by the gown and couldn’t move freely in it.  The gown seemed heavy and just a bit too much for her to handle and she needed someone to aid her just to walk and make the steps to receive her moon-man award.

Pause, I guess this is the new “it” girl couple that we are seeing at all the award shows now? None other than Amber Rose and Blac Chyna:Blac Chyna and Amber RoseSeriously, I’m really not sure why either of these women are at most of these events; other than to promote and get under the skin of their ex-baby daddy’s who by far have moved on past both of them.. Even though this look was bad they had the nerve to bring a little entourage that just equaled a hotmess.com:Blac Chyna and Amber Rose crewAlright let me get right to the elephant that is standing in the middle of the room-Kanye West.. Lord who said that this man needed to be a recipient of the Michael Jackson award? Then to top everything off they let this nut ramble for a full-eight (8) minuets about who knows what!!  I hated what he decided to wear and to top things off Kim Kardashian-West just looked underwhelmed by her choice yet again:Kanye and Kim Kardashian-West I’m going to have to insist that Kim Kardashian-West contact our very own Sonya LaRae, to help her through this second pregnancy. Kim is too beautiful to look this doughty and unpolished and she needs to wear things that will flatter and grow as she moves along in her pregnancy.. This particular gown may have been cute for her when she wasn’t pregnant but, now it just does nothing for her growing silhouette and doesn’t compliment her new baby figure, we’re going to have to stage and intervention sooner than later.

LOL!! Pharrell Williams and his wife Helen Lasichanh was on there way to pick apples and decided to stop by the VMA’s:Helen Lasichanh and Pharrell Williams Taylor Swift decided she was going to role deep with her girls and just take the red carpet (side note: technically there wasn’t a red carpet it was more multi-colored pieced carpet) but, Taylor select to wear a sequenced pant set by Ashish-I thought Taylor pulled off edgy and sultry without being to overt and still maintaining her style for her fans:Taylor Swift

The Jenner-Kardashian family came to also show their support to son-in-law/bro-in-law Kanye, the ladies looked stunning and that Kylie is like a little chameleon and isn’t afraid to flip her style (wouldn’t you all love to really know what they think about Mr. West antics?):Jenner-Kardashian Family Now this is what MTV/VMA’s red carpet is all about the insanely different artistic yet, out of the box craziness that you’d expect from artist and their pseudo personalities:Z-LaLaWait I thought this was Lady Gaga but, found out this is singer Z-LaLa.. I had to Google her to hear who she was cause I no clue about her. Z-LaLa sings a song “Fly Away.” Google her or go to YouTube to hear her music but, Honey Gaga is calling and she wants her dress back.. LOL!!

We have two starlets that we think just owned this red carpet last night:Demi LovatoRita Ora Demi Lovato went with this peachy Nicolas Jebran dress that just hugged her curves and fit her body with pure perfection! Demi’s hair and makeup was on fleek (meaning flawless) gave that glow and flush kissed skin look was saying EVERYTHING!! Then you switch to Rita Ora who went with the Vera Wang feather bodice gown that showed just the right amount of skin and gave her a rock/couture edgy look that she owned (side note: hair wasn’t saying much at all and didn’t give that wow moment) her makeup was dramatic and sultry and I like the nude lip.

I know that Gigi Hadid is one of Taylor Swift’s girls and she is a rising supermodel but, what was up with that bad lace front wig?:Gigi Hadid in Emilia WicksteadGigi wore a Emilia Wickstead gown but, I thought this gown did nothing for her. I personally felt it needed to be a little bit longer and maybe the leotard cut a little differently for her figure would have given this a little more definition.

Another one from Taylor’s girltourage is Hailee Steinfeld- Hailee opted for a white Stella McCartney caped pant suit:Hailee Steinfeld in Stella McCartneyHailee missed the mark with this look for us- We felt that the gold cuff necklace made her look like she had a neck brace on and that the cape was almost like a bandage.. She would have looked stunning without the cape and the necklace and maybe if it was cut off the shoulder to give it more of a trendy younger feel.

Let’s go to our couples for the night: Bella Thorne and Gregg Sulkin. They looked too cute and Bella was channeling her inner Tinker-bell and we loved all the romantic nuances:Bella Thorne and Gregg Sulkin 

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend looked cute together as always.. Chrissy left nothing to the imagination with this very sheer gown, her hair and makeup  complimented the look, maybe just a bit more drama on the eyes but all and all she looked very nice- John, I’m not so sure what look he was going for but, I can say the leather pants and the kind of snug jacket was a no:Chrissy Teigen and John LegendMiguel and Nazanin Mandi was serving up sexy- This couple just seems to exude sex appeal and know what compliments their style/life. They effortlessly compliment each other when they step out on the red carpet, what great edge Miguel and Nazanin have to their own personal styles; that when the two combine you get a perfect component:Nazanin Mandi and Miguel

If you saw Justin Beiber’s performances (you read that correctly) when he debut his new song and then cried at the end of his performance- Might have been because, he didn’t get to see Selena Gomez after his performance because, the girltourage left just prior to him taking the stage and she looked beautiful in a sheer Calvin Kline gown:Selena Gomez Calvin Klein

Wait let me go back to Justin for a hot second—After being gone for 5 years this is the look you decide to hit the red carpet with? Justin, Kate Gosling gave this look up for a reason take notes please:Justin BeiberLaPazions, we told you this red carpet wasn’t that eventful at all.. We need the mega stars like Rihanna, BeyoncĂ©, Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez and several others to please start making some music so we can get a good red carpet again..
