What I Want: Givenchy Nordstrom Exclusive Bracelet with Beyoncé LikeCrystals

Photo Credit: Nordstrom.com

In my search for a new bracelet, I started on Nordstrom.com because I get a discount. At first I was tempted to buy my ex-boyfriend a Gucci ring for his birthday and possibly get one for myself but I came across this Givenchy, Nordstrom exclusive, Crystal bracelet in rose gold with pastel crystals. I fell in love with it as soon as I laid eyes on it. I procrastinated on it for a bit because I couldn't decide between a ring or a bracelet and thought "why not just get both," but I wanted a set that would match.

After seeing various social media news outlets cover the 2015 Met Gala and having every fan go crazy over Beyoncé's revealing dress, I knew I had to get that bracelet because I knew Beyoncé's Met Gala dress was Givenchy and contained the same crystals as the bracelet that I fell in love with days before. I couldn't believe that myself and Beyoncé had the same taste and that we practically fell in love with the same thing. 

Check out images below. 

My tweet of my excitement when my bracelet finally arrived.

I was going to post the direct link to the bracelet, but it is sold out. It is a very popular piece.

Thanks for reading.

I Study Fashion: Asha Monet Scott for Fashion Merchandising Management and Advertising and Marketing Communications!



"The thing I love most about fashion is the fact that no one can tell you what is wrong or right. Fashion is completely up to you. It is basically art in motion."


"Hello, my name is Asha Scott and I Study Fashion Merchandising Management and Advertising and Marketing Communications."

 After reading the answers to my interview questions by my next spotlighted "I Study Fashion" student Asha Scott, I had fallen in love with her even more because in some way we're like the same person from our zodiac signs to our majors and possibly even our thought process (laugh out loud).

Asha Monet Scott is a 21 year old Advertising and Marketing Communications major at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan , New York who knows what she wants, is easy-going, silly, a food enthusiast, creative, and loving.


Take the time to explore these amazing characteristics of hers as she is spotlighted as Ridiculously Favored's next "I Study Fashion" student.

Asha has her life's mantra tattooed on her foot
which is very unique.
Ridiculously FavoredHow were you introduced to fashion?
Asha: I do not remember when I was first introduced to fashion; it’s always been in my life. If I had to pinpoint a time when I began to really notice fashion, it would have to be as a child playing with Barbies. I wasn't necessarily interested in the doll so much as I was in her clothes. I wanted more and more Barbies just so I could create new outfit combinations.

Ridiculously Favored: What is a quote you live by and why?
Asha: My life’s mantra is “Hakuna Matata." I've been obsessed with the Lion King ever since I can remember and the message of not worrying really struck a cord with me. I’m not saying that I don’t worry about anything, but I try not to stress over small things. I like to take things as they come, and having a positive outlook on situations can turn what would be a stressful time into a learning experience.


Asha giving us a cute pose.
Ridiculously Favored: What school or schools are you attending or have you attended?
Asha: Currently I am taking a summer class at Montclair State University, which is a school in Jersey. However my home school is The Fashion Institute of Technology better known as FIT.

Ridiculously Favored: What do you like about your school?
Asha: The thing I like most about FIT are the many opportunities the school offers. From volunteering at Fashion Week, to amazing internships with top name brands, and traveling abroad, I don’t think there’s a school that can compete with FIT. In addition to the many opportunities, FIT is filled with great talent and experienced professors with connections galore. Beyond that, you can’t beat FIT’s location…the fashion district, right in the heart of midtown Manhattan.

Ridiculously Favored: What is/was your major and why did you pick it?
Asha: When I first arrived at FIT, my major was Fashion Merchandising Management. However, over my first two semesters, I realized I did not completely love my major as I once thought I would. I loved fashion, but I felt like I needed to go in a different direction. My major only gave me a few career choices and after my first internship I knew for sure that I did not want to be a buyer. At the end of my second semester, I applied for the Advertising and Marketing Communications (AMC) Bachelor’s program and was accepted. I thought a degree in two different majors would be beneficial. So I am a proud recipient of an Associate’s degree in Merchandising and I will receive my Bachelor’s in AMC in May 2015.




Ridiculously Favored: As an AMC major, what was the best ad you think you've made? 
Asha: I have only been an AMC major for two semesters, so I really haven’t created ads. However, I have come up with some interesting public relation campaigns. For instance, I had an internet marketing class in the fall, and I was instructed to pick a company and reach out to a new demographic. My group and I chose the surf/skate brand Stussy. Typically, Stussy has a demographic of skaters, surfers, and hip-hop heads, but we decided to create an integrated marketing strategy to draw in EDM (electronic dance music) customers. My group and I came up with a budget, social media campaign and contest, the hashtag “Stay Stussy”, and a concert featuring the top EDM DJ’s for contest winners to attend. My professor made the project a contest and only one group could receive an A…of course my group got the A.

Ridiculously Favored: Do you ideally want to do advertising for a fashion company or venture elsewhere?
Asha: Right now I’m at a crossroads. I do want to do advertising or public relations, but I have a lot of interest so I’m all over the place. One day I want to stick in the AMC business, and other days I want to go into the food industry. I love food!

Ridiculously Favored: What career path are you most likely going to take?
Asha: I’m undecided in which career path I’m going to take. I think I might actually want to go into hospitality or culinary school. But then I think to myself, “do I really want to be in school for another four years”. Maybe I should stick to advertising, but we shall see.

Ridiculously Favored: What degrees do you hold?
Asha: I have an associate’s degree in fashion merchandising management and I will receive my bachelor’s in advertising and marketing next May.

Ridiculously Favored: Who was your favorite professor at school and why? (include school)
Asha: My favorite professor at FIT is Professor Shawn Carter. I had her my third semester for direct marketing. She is extremely intelligent, but also relate-able. She’s fashionable, has great connections in the fashion industry, and is willing to help students beyond the classroom. Professor Carter even wrote a recommendation letter for a scholarship I applied for and later received. I really look up to her.

Ridiculously Favored: What was your most favorite class?
Asha: I’ve had a few favorite classes at FIT. My favorite classes from my fashion merchandising days were Intro to Fashion and Direct Marketing. My favorite class from my current major is Internet Marketing. The subject matter of all three of the classes was interesting, but I think it was the hands on and creative approach my professors took.

Ridiculously Favored: What do you love about fashion?
Asha: The thing I love most about fashion is the fact that no one can tell you what’s wrong or right. Fashion is completely up to you. It’s basically art in motion.

Ridiculously Favored: Describe your fashion style.
Asha: I honestly have no idea what my fashion style is. I tend to wear whatever feels right at the moment. However, I do love hoodies, crop tops, graphic tees and sneakers. I’m not super trendy; I just like to be comfortable and cute.

Ridiculously Favored: Do you have a favorite fashion icon?
Asha: Yes! Rihanna has been my number one fashion icon since 2007. I absolutely love her style. Some other people I find fashion icons to be are Lupita Nyongo, Nicole Ritchie, Solange Knowles, Iggy Azelea, and Lil Debbie. I think Willow Smith and Kylie Jenner are up and coming fashion Icons.

Ridiculously Favored: Where do you get most of your inspirations from for your designs?
Asha: I don’t design anything anymore, but when I did, I got most of my inspiration from reading fashion magazines and watching old movies.

Ridiculously Favored: Who is your favorite fashion designer?
Asha: I don’t have a favorite designer. I pay more attention to street wear brands like Dimepiece, Married to the Mob, and Supreme.

Ridiculously Favored: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Asha: In five years hopefully I’m working at a great company either in fashion or food, traveling the world, and financially independent of my family.

Ridiculously Favored: Would you consider yourself living out your dreams?
Asha: I would say I’m in the process of living my dreams; I’m not totally there yet. Getting into FIT was the first step.


Ridiculously Favored: What are you working on currently?
Asha: Currently I’m working on enjoying the rest of my summer.

Ridiculously Favored: On the fashion calendar, what event do you look forward to every year?
Asha: I love the fall fashion week. I don’t pay much attention to the others.

Ridiculously Favored: Who are your fashion influences?
Asha: My fashion influences are pretty much the same as the fashion icons I mentioned earlier, but I do find that the everyday people in New York have an influence on me; they’re all so unique and stylish.

Ridiculously Favored: What is/was your favorite thing to learn about in school and why?
Asha: My favorite thing to learn in school is anything that has to deal with how people think, and with advertising and marketing there’s a lot of that.

Ridiculously Favored: How far in school do you plan to go?
Asha: Sometimes I think I want to get a Master’s degree or even go into a new industry, but for right now I’m just going to try and graduate with my bachelor’s on time.

Ridiculously Favored: Do you think this image is true? Why or why not?



Asha: I definitely agree with this image. I feel like no one really knows what fashion students go through unless they have been a fashion student themselves. There’s a lot of reading and math involved.

Ridiculously Favored: Describe yourself in five words.
Asha: Easy going, silly, food enthusiast, creative, and loving.

Ridiculously Favored: Describe your first day in fashion school.
Asha: My first day at FIT was not how I imaged it would be. In high school I was stylish, but at FIT I was totally caught off guard and intimidated. Everyone was more stylish and had more expensive clothing then I did. I felt like I had to ‘keep up with the Jones’ in a sense. My self-esteem was low for a few days, but after awhile I came to the realization that I could dress. Just because my clothes were not designer or as expensive, did not mean I was lesser than. Besides the whole clothing situation, I was super excited to be around new and creative people and immerse myself into New York’s fashion scene.

Ridiculously Favored: Did you stay on campus or commute?
Asha: I’ve stayed on campus all three of my years at FIT and will continue to dorm in my last year. I don’t have a car, and it would just be too difficult to commute from New Jersey.

Ridiculously Favored: If you stayed on campus, what were your roommates like? How was your dorming experience?
Asha: Dorming my first year at FIT was fun because most of my friends dormed in the same building as me, but the downside to that first dorming experience was the communal bathrooms. 
The girls on my floor were messy and often left the bathroom in shambles. Also, we were not allowed to have mini fridges or microwaves in our rooms. Although, I illegally had both in mine.
My first roommate was okay but we mostly just kept to ourselves. She stayed on her side of the room and I stayed on mine. The only thing that bothered me about her is that her boyfriend was always there. He always stayed the night, which was weird because he went to our school and I think he dormed as well.
Now, my second roommate was the best, literally we’re best friends. Celasia and I joked around all day and night, stayed up late, partied together, cooked for each other, shared clothes, and just about everything. It sucked when she moved to California and we would not be able to room for my third year, but at the same time I was able to start a new friendship with my third roommate Devan. Devan and I had a few classes and mutual friends, but we never really hung out. We both knew we were going to need new roommates for the Fall 2013 school year so we thought it would be better to dorm together than with strangers. It took some time before we began to bond, but after awhile Devan and I became really good friends. She is so fun to be around and I enjoyed our little adventures. Sadly, Devan graduated and I’m on the hunt for a new roommate.


Asha with her bestfriend Celasia. Check out Celasia's I Study Fashion post here.


Ridiculously Favored: What motivated you to attend school and pursue a career in fashion?
Asha: First off, I had to go to school or my family would disown me…just kidding, but I really enjoy fashion and advertising and FIT was the perfect school to do that at.

Ridiculously Favored: What areas of fashion are you interested in? Do you feel that you can do anything that is related to fashion?
Asha: I’m interested more in street fashion than high-end couture. I do think I can have a career in fashion. Brands always need a PR person or someone to come up with ads and campaigns, and that’s where I come in.

So what do you think about the lovely Asha and her fashion school experience?! She's perfect right?! If you want more of her, follow her on her social media pages at AshaFcKnAwesome on Twitter, @ashkosh_bgosh on Instagram, and on Facebook at Asha Monet!

I Influenced Fashion: The Sales Associate x Forever 21 Times Square New York City



Now I know when most of you think of a sales associate, you think of a person there to pick up the clothes you accidentally drop on the floor as you shop, a person who desperately needs a job so they take the easy route and apply to a retail store, a person whose title is just a fancy name for cashier, and a person who is there to be a customers servant.

If you think this, you are EXTREMELY wrong especially for a fashion retail sales associate.




In all actuality, an sales associate is a lover of fashion, a person who cares about their appearances, loves being surrounded by clothing and fashion accessories, and loves helping fashionistas with their everyday purchases.

 
In this photo, Forever 21 Sales Associate Vanessa P. looks dazzling in her blue comfy sweater, scarf, jeans, and boots.

During my weekend trip to NYC, I stopped in, well shopped in, plenty of stores in the heart of Times Square NYC. As I visited Forever 21, I met a lively sales associate by the name of Vanessa P. who attends Hunter College in Manhattan as a Sociology major.

In this photo, TeArra of Ridiculously Favored is with fashion sales associate Vanessa P. of Forever 21 in Times Square.
Vanessa started working at Forever 21 in January which was definitely a great way to start her year!

Ridiculously Favored: How do you like working at Forever 21?

Vanessa P.: I'm honestly doing it because I needed some cash. It's not because this is what I wanted to do in the future career wise. I like working here so far, it's challenging working with people, I like people but they can be quite messy and you have to pick up after them. It's my job but it gets challenging after awhile.

Ridiculously Favored: How do you think the customers view a sales associate and their tasks? Do you think they view a sales associate job as something easy?

Vanessa P.: Oh yeah, I definitely think they view our job as something easy. Many times if the customer doesn't want something they just leave it there or put it wherever they want. Me personally, when I shop I'm pretty neat. If I don't like something and lets say I'm nowhere near the item, I take it with me when I'm ready to pay and say to the cashier "here, I don't want this anymore." You know that's what I do, so for them to not do that, it gets me a little aggravated. But yeah, I definitely think that they see an sales associate job as something easy.

Ridiculously Favored: That is definitely understandable. Despite all of the challenges with customers, do you think a fashion sales associate influences fashion?

Vanessa P.: Yes. For starters we influence fashion with how we present ourselves, how we rock the clothes that are being sold at the store we work in. Number 2- the many times the customers come up to us asking for our opinion on outfit choices and pieces. Aside from us putting away clothes and what not, we also give customers advice, like "Oh maybe this will go with that outfit or maybe this jewelry will work." I feel in a way we help customers with there fashion sense.

And that's the beauty of it. Being a fashion sales associate is more than just tolerating the picking up of clothes behind customers. It's helping the customer put together outfits, pick the right accessories, and just simply influencing fashion one customer at a time!

Below are some photos  snapped of Forever 21's Times Square Visual Merchandising. It's amazing.

Hermès Spring 2014 Resort Collection

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, Hermès models strut to Spring 2014!

Photo Credit: Style.com

In the Hermes Spring 2014 Resort Collection, Christophe Lemaire was influenced by Henri Rousseau, a Frenchman that painted jungles even though he never saw them. Many of his works were transformed into prints that covered the garments formulated by Christophe.
The total collection features jumpsuits, blouses, harem pants, trench coats, regular dresses, skirts, trousers, blazers, and bags with many shades of green, cream, purple, and blue colors that give you  jungle fever.

To me, the collection gives hints of a modern day Jane, from Tarzan, in human form. If the cartoon would ever come to life, these pieces would be worn by her character!

Check out all 38 runway looks from Hermes Spring 2014 collection, during Paris Fashion Week, below.

ASAP ROCKY "FASHION KILLA" VIDEO


Photo Credit: hipstrumentals.com

"I said her pistol go, bang bang, boom boom, pop pop," and ASAP Rocky proves this by using no other than the flyest female in the music industry, miss Rihanna, as the main and only girl in the visual.

The visual shows the two as a couple who have a passion for clothes, shopping, styling, and art as ASAP graffiti's it at the end of the video.

I'm in love with the both of them and as a fashion major it's only right!
The selections Rihanna decides to wear in the video shows how she can transform from tomboy to glam in a matter of minutes and still look AMAZING!

Check out the video below and see for yourself!

Miley Cyrus Denied Vogue Cover & Debuts New Video

After snagging a Vogue cover, Anna Wintour takes it back!



Miley has been showing out unbearably lately and she is FINALLY being punished for her actions. As a fashion major that looks up to Anna Wintour I can proudly say thank you Anna for being one of the first to NOT reward Miley for her disgusting behavior!

In her newest video posted above, Miley says no to twerking and gets down to the dirty business of soft porn while riding a wrecking ball totally naked, giving strip teases, and, ummm, crying while doing it because she has been Wrecked by Love.

The song is about a heartbroken woman who thought she found true love but didn't. The song is nice but maybe Miley could've interpreted it in a different way. Maybe.

Even if Miley is hurt, acting out the way she has been is not the answer. Plenty of women have been hurt before.

"If they ask why, why. Tell them that it's human nature."

I Influenced Fashion: Iris Apfel


Photo Credit: intothegloss.com

“For me, the key to personal style lies in accessories. My friends tell me that my over-sized glasses and my pairs of bracelets have become my unwritten signature. I have amassed an enormous collection of bags, belts, bangles, and beads without which I would be lost. One can change the entire look of an outfit by substituting one accessory for another. I love objects from different worlds, different eras, combined my way. Never uptight –achieving hopefully- a kind of throwaway chic.” 

Stated by the iconic Iris Apfel, we have her outlook on accessory emphasis. Iris is a 91 year old fashion icon, interior designer, and businesswoman, who is now having a documentary made about her legendary standing in the fashion and design industries. She has been known for her extravagant accessories and eye-popping eyewear, in addition to her amazing work with interior design and textiles alongside her husband Carl Apfel.  She also has a jewelry line that is featured on HSN and a MAC Cosmetic line as well. In 2005, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City honored Apfel with an exhibition that described her as a rare bird. The title was Rara Avis (Rare Bird): The Irreverent Iris Apfel. Other museums duplicated and honored her with this exhibition as well.
