E! News Internship Style File Day 3







Today I am wearing a preppy look with a 90s twist. I love the idea of wearing a fun and flirty tank top over a white tee a la Cher from one of my favorite 90s movies-Clueless! This is the perfect day-to-night look as you can just take off the t-shirt after work and have on your favorite sparkly tank for going out! I added an extra element of prep to complete the look with this pin striped Alice and Olivia asymmetrical mini skirt and knee high socks with ankle boots!

E! News Internship Style File Day 1




Today I'm wearing a classic professional look with this cute Express blouse and black skirt pulled up for a high waisted look. I added matching burgundy stockings for winter and added in my personal style with these matching burgundy boots from Express. I spiced up the classic look with this studded rhinestone belt to make it casual and cool. I love the interesting detail on the sleeves that heightens the look giving it a sprinkle of Parisian charm. This style is fun, classy, professional, and not to stuffy--perfect for first impressions!

Trends from the Golden Globes red carpet 2017




The film industry kicked off the new year in style at the Golden Globes on January 8 and awards season is now in full swing here in Los Angeles. Hollywood has spoken on which trends will be sticking around in the new year and which ones we will be leaving in 2016 and I
have the list of all the hottest red carpet styles right here.



90s
The 90s made a serious comeback in 2016 and celebrities in particular loved this trend. Many continued to rock the vintage look on the red carpet with popular 90s accessories and silhouettes.







Cut out shoulders
A surprising trend I noticed on the red carpet was gowns with cut out shoulders. This cut out look got a glamorous update in the new year as it was mostly popular with causal streetwear looks in 2016.






Pastel colors
Several stars favored a pastel color palette at the show wearing colors such as light pink, yellow, and lavender.












Accents
Another fun trend from the 90s that showed up at this show was sequin and embroidered accents in shapes such as flowers, stars, and butterflies.







Bright whites
A newer trend emerging on the red carpet is bright whites. Seeing stars wearing white in the winter reminds us that the old rules of fashion no longer apply in the new fast fashion retail calendar with additional seasons.

CdM Holiday wish list Adore Me.com!

The Holidays are just around the corner and if you're like me you're still looking for some last minute gifts to check off those last few people on your list! No need to worry I've got you covered here at Cerisesdumatin I've created a wish list for each friend and family type that always leaves you guessing at this time of year! Adoreme.com is the perfect place for all your hard to shop for friends and they are even offering holiday deals on shipping this week so you can make sure your gifts arrive on time. They have every style and shape covered and are always on trend! Check out my Adoreme.com wishlist below to find inspiration for everyone in your squad!

1. The friend who hates shopping 
You all know this friend, maybe she has an aversion to our modern day materialistic attitude or maybe she just can't stand the crowds in the mall but, either way getting her into a store is less likely than your holiday dinner table not being filled with political debate this season! Normally you're happy to leave her in the Starbucks across the street while you do your shopping but now that you need to know what type of gift to get her not having her in the store with you is becoming problematic. 
Show this friend that her speech about the dangers of consumerism wasn't lost on you with this cute and comfy Weylyn loungewear set from Adore Me and a coupon for a movie night in free of crowds and overspending! 


2. The picky friend 
This friend has a preference for everything from her Starbucks order that the barista can't even understand because it's so complicated to her personalized eyeshadow color that's only sold in that one store whose name you can't pronounce. When it comes to shopping for this friend you are never sure if your present will become a new favorite of hers or if she's quietly regifting it to her great aunt and her opinion of your taste will be forever tarnished. You won't have to worry about that with this trendy and unique jewelry gift set. Complete with 6 chokers and 5 earrings to make any look fashion forward and totally original the Dixie set will give your picky friend a new found respect for your gift giving abilities! 


3. The friend with expensive tastes and an empty wallet 
We've all been this friend at one point or another splurging on something that is totally over our budget. Even though we sympathize with this friend we are always a little bit worried about her budgeting skills. We are never worried about her fashion sense though since her designer outfits are always on point which makes finding the perfect gift even more challenging. This friend will love the Hallcycone sleepwear set from adore me! The luxurious material and embellished detail is right up her alley and the best part is that she'll never be able to tell it was only 25.95! 


4. The friend who is allergic to everything 

This friend might ring a bell if you've ever been friends with a germaphobe. You are always trying to get her to come out of her comfort zone and try something new but, for all her complaining she has probably saved you from a serious case of food poisoning a few times when she's stopped you from eating that questioable slice of left over pizza. Since you already got her her favorite scent of hand sanitizer for her birhtday you aren't sure what to give her this year. Give this friend this cute and snuggly Logan fleece robe from AdoreMe and a new set of shower shoes so that she doesn't have to keep rewashing her shower set! Their sleepwear section features really great items.


5. The friend who can't make up her mind 
This friend is the reason why your brunches always run late because she always takes FOREVER to decide on her order. Even though her indeciveness drives you crazy she is always onto a new hobby and you can't forget the time she introduced you to your favorite barre class that she was obsessed with for a week. However her changing interests are hard to keep up with and you aren't sure if she is still into yoga anymore so finding a gift that she can actually use is a challenge. This stylish and comfortable activewear set from AdoreMe is the perfect gift for this friend since it is versatile enough for almost any activity and comes in simple colors for your friend to mix and match if she needs to! I love the sleek and hip activewear section on Adoreme.com which you can visit here ttp://www.adoreme.com/workout-clothes.html for more ideas!

Metropolitan Fashion Week LA: Closing Gala and Awards at Warner Bros studios


On Saturday night I prepared to cover the closing gala of Metropolitan fashion week in Los Angeles. I loved getting to dress up in my floor length dress for the event and decided to do an Old Hollywood look.


I arrived at the Warner brothers lot and was picked up by a studio cart and driven to their brownstone set where the gala was being held. We definitely got the star treatment! The set was adorned with whimsical decorations and lit up to make it feel like a real live New York street. The party decorations were in the same taste as the cirque du soleil fashion show. The blue carpet was set up against the beautiful backdrop making for great photos of all the guests. One of the first to arrive was Tommy Lei who was nominated for their fashion influencer of the year award. I interviewed Tommy about his Los Angeles based unisex fashion blog.  He talked about how excited he was to be nominated for the award saying he felt he was "Really representing LA for the first time going to all the events of Los Angeles fashion week! It's always been more international for me so it's great to represent the home turf!" Tommy was also a featured influencer at LAFW this season. It is great to see such a successful blogger from Los Angeles bringing awareness to the industry in California. Other red carpet guests included the director of Geneva fashion week who was also walking in the fashion show as a model as well as the Executive producer of Metropolitan Fashion Week. You can read about my exclusive interview with him here. The crowd went crazy when former Miss Universe Alicia Machado arrived looking amazing in a figure hugging gold gown.

 She was one of the hosts for the awards ceremony and has received a lot of media attention lately due to the controversial comments Presidential Candidate Donald Trump made about her body. She was rushed through the event to get ready to help host the awards backstage while crowds rushed to get a picture of her.
The event continued while more guests arrived and enjoyed the delicious desserts and drinks provided. There was even popcorn available to go along with the movie studio theme of the event. Young designers got the chance to showcase their designs from a contest where the challenge was to design an entire look out of candy. Models walked around in the fanciful and tasty looking designs and the crowd loved it.

Eventually everyone took their seats and the runway show began. The collections featured creative costumes and evening wear all in the Cirque du Soleil theme that the event advertised for the fashion show. At the end of the night the awards were presented and the event closed with a final fashion show filled with outlandish creations. It was an exciting night and I loved the chance to get dressed up for this event!

LA: The window to fashion CdM Exclusive Interview with Executive producer for Metropolitan Fashion Week





Tonight I attended the closing night gala of Metropolitan Fashion week Los Angeles held at Warner Brother studios. I got an exclusive interview on the red carpet with the Executive Producer of Metropolitan fashion week on the future of the event and his take on the Los Angeles fashion industry. First we talked about Metropolitan fashion week and the future of the event.

According to the Executive Producer, he wants to make Metropolitan fashion week a global brand and to help promote the fashion industry. Metropolitan fashion week started in Seattle back in 2009 and has now expanded to Los Angeles and Las Vegas. hopes to expand the event to more cities in the US including New York and eventually he sees Metropolitan Fashion Week as a global brand. According to him they are already in talks with China and Mexico to see how they can bring the event to even more places. He also said they have some exciting changes coming up that he will be revealing later. I can't wait to hear what announcements he will be making.
Next I asked him what he thought about the Los Angeles fashion industry since the closing gala also included an awards ceremony for costume designers in Film and Television. He responded saying, "Los Angeles is certainly the window to the fashion industry." According to LA is an important city in the industry because Hollywood allows the fashion to reach people all around the world. He brought up the unique aspect of the costume design industry in Los Angeles, which the event highlighted with the Cirque de Soleil themed fashion show. Costume designers in Los Angeles are known all over the world as some of the best in the industry and their work can influence trends across the country. Some of the most innovative and creative designs have started with costume designers in LA and we even saw some tonight as designers showcased dresses and costumes they had made using candy. He also pointed out that LA's ready to wear industry sets trends and predictions for RTW across the country. He told me "Fashion is an important industry to LA and Metropolitan fashion week wants to promote fashion around the world and especially on the West Coast." I am definitely excited to see what else Metropolitan Fashion Week will do in the future and enjoyed hearing about their goals to celebrate the LA fashion industry. They did an amazing job showcasing the unique and creative talent that LA brings to fashion at this event. To read more about the awards and the Cirque de Soleil fashion show click here.

Art Hearts fashion week closes in color: Luxury by Xandra






Tonight was the closing night of Art Hearts fashion week in their brand new venue at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The night opened with a cocktail reception for guests in the Wiltshire ballroom where everyone enjoyed watching the red carpet guests arrive and commented on the interesting and stylish outfits of the night. Afterwards everyone headed to the runway where a large group of press had already gathered at the end of the runway. The announcer welcomed guests and thanked everyone for another great season and then turned the runway over to the models. The first designer to present was luxury by Xandra. This collection featured brightly colored outfits ranging form monochromatic suits in electric blue to this rainbow dress. The designer herself has said that she loves to focus on color in her designs because while she has poor eyesight she has always loved the way colors mix. I love the idea of creating a collection from a different perspective like this! The show was a great end to the fashionable week in Beverly Hills.
