Boy Meets bloglovin' Girl

 

Living in NYC has probably made me love fashion more than anything else.

Walking the streets of NYC, you will find every kind of style. This might shock some new comers from other states or even countries. While every other NYC native passes by because this is the norm. But, then again I have to admit there are things that even I see and I must pause before I continue on my way But, this is something I admire. Being free to express yourself while having others not judge you.

I've seen clothing from across the world which inspire me along with other people I see on the streets, other bloggers, musicians and people like Betsey Johnson, Selena Gomez and Cher Lloyd.

I love Betsey Johnson's quirky, fun and young style. Selena Gomez is a classic, but she doesn't mind trying new things and mixing it up. Cher Lloyd is exactly like me though. She's girly, but always has that added edge to her outfit. People consider me a tomboy at times because I'm not afraid to wear my sneakers, but if you think about it I'm not afraid to admit that I like to wear dresses, too. I love that edgy yet classical and girly style.

Fashion is also my escape, something that I control because every other part of my life is dictated by adults like my parents. They don't believe in my dream, but I do. And I express it through the creativity and edge I add to my daily wardrobe.

Having fun with life and not letting the status quo stop you from it is what I find in fashion and what probably draws me to it. Whether it's adding menswear to your wardrobe or being quirky and spontaneous or showing your parents that your dreams matter (Don't get too crazy on this on though. You want a roof over your head for a few years don't you lol).

Fashion makes me believe the impossible is truly possible: taking risks, having fun and trying new things.

Betsey Johnson Birthday Spectacular

They say age is nothing but a number. True. What? You don't believe me. Take Betsey Johnson for example. With her quirky style and her inner child screaming to come out, would you be able to tell that she just turned 70? Yes, I would have never guessed.  Though I do wish I was there for the celebration during fashion week. But, I guess these amazing photos will do for now:

AnnaSophia Rob, Adrienne Bailon and Kelly Osbourne were there among others to help Betsey celebrate. Cyndi Lauper sang "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" as Betsey sang along while rocking out.

  

The show reflected Betsey's crazy, quirky style over the years and celebrated her career. The models walked the runway with attitude, having fun as they danced and threw glitter. 

                    

I'm a big fan of Bestey and I loved her big signature tulle dresses that the models presented as they walked down the runway. 

The show closed with Betsey's daughter Lulu surprising her mother by jumping out of a huge cake while Cyndi Lauper sang her Happy Birthday. Coming out to a shower of confetti, balloons and glitter, Betsey made her grande finale with her known cartwheel and split on the runway.

              

 What a better way to celebrate? Happy Birthday, Betsey!   

Have any questions that you would like to ask me about fashion, beauty or life in general. You can even ask me questions that people would look at you weird if you asked. After all isn't that what diaries are for. Just leave a comment and I'll answer all the questions on my new Tips/Secrets feature.

FashCakes

Hmm what are fashcakes you may be wondering. Yea, it's another one of the things Amira Says. Fashcakes in my world are fashion cupcakes. Yes! I didn't think there was a such thing, but there is and they're fabulous! And remember how I was so uninspired, now I am. Yay! Well it would be pretty rude to not share anything of these fashcakes with you so here they are plus some things that may have inspired them:

This is a Louis Vuitton inspired cupcake. Pretty flowers on the side.

Michelle Williams is wearing a Louis Vuitton dress and I feel that this goes perfectly with the cupcake. I love the color on her.

This is a Christian Louboutin inspired cupcake. It looks so dark and mysterious, but it looks like there's something good hidden inside. And I bet there is.

Yes, maybe this may not exactly match the cupcake, but it does include some gold and red. I just had to add these because I love them. They're really high so I probably wouldn't wear them to a party without bringing flats or having somewhere to sit.


This is a Chanel inspired cupcake. I love the presentation especially the pearls.


And this is of course Coco Chanel. Isn't the cupcake perfect for her?


And last but not least, a Betsey Johnson inspired cupcake. This is probably my favorite because of the bright colors. I think that this cupcake really represents her and her collection.

This was a runway show for Betsey's collection and a model rocking a bright pink dress with Betsey's name all over it.

Thanks to Therese Aldgard photography for the fashion cupcakes photos. They look yummy! I would try to make them, but it probably wouldn't look as good.

Fashionably Yours (and once again inspired)
