Western Edge Journey

Kathleen Bergan Photography

Today’s blog post is called Western Edge Journey. It was inspired by one of my favorite designers Ralph Lauren and his infamous western looks. Although I’m nowhere out in the west there is a journey I have taken and that is to the Big Apple, New York City. This past week I have been interning with Factory PR in their NYC location and doing one of the things I’ve always wanted to do, work Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. From actually getting to sit and watch the Concept Korea show at Lincoln Center to dressing the male models for Pyer Moss this past week has definitely been a journey. Being in New York City has been expensive, busy, tiresome and nerve wrecking but I wouldn’t trade the experience for the world. Within in a short period of time, I’ve received tons of free products, won a hula hoop contest, met America’s Next Top Model Miss J and even made new friends who I can relate with in this crazy fashion industry. Thanks to everyone who helped me get to this journey (Lorraine, Janelle, Akira, Kathleen, Maya, Candy, my parents and more). I don’t have everything quite figured out yet but I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for me! I hope you guys will continue to follow me on this life journey that is less western and more living on the edge. Please enjoy some more of Kathleen Bergan's beautiful photography!

Hollywood Glamour

Kathleen Bergan Photography

Today's post was inspired by old Hollywood Glamour, an era most highlighted between the 20-40's. I've always wondered why people always assume that because they aren't a famous actress or singer that you have to limit your wardrobe. I often hear women say" I could never pull that off! But you certainly could." But what makes me different from anyone else? I'm not a famous celebrity or any who even has half the means to have half the things they do. Of course they can afford the highest of quality of clothes but what makes celebrities the only people that are accessible to beautiful things? Nothing. 

Like my mother always said, "You can't buy style." From that advice is exactly why I choose to dress the way I do. I'm no Sarah Jessica Parker or Marilyn Monroe but I know I love fashion and I'm not exempt to looking glamorous no matter what class bracket I'm in! Every girl deserves to look their absolute best. So the next time your thinking you can't pull something off and wanting to hit the envy button; know that you rock girl! Confidence is so beautiful.

 In addition, don't forget 360 Vintage Designs located in Virginia Beach Virginia let's you accomplish just this exact look for less! The expert owner Ms. Tracey really knows her eras and makes vintage shopping affordable and fun. Hope you enjoy a couple of pieces from her store that completed my ultimate Hollywood Glam look, enjoy!
