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!

Top Off Your Game

Hi Fashionistas! Happy Thursday! Today's look was inspired by my sadness of not being able to attend Paris Fashion Week  this week and the trend of fall hats. Here I wanted to show you how you can incorporate those cute trendy floppy hats into your fall wardrobe. Designers like Stella McCartney and Saint Lauren's fall hat attire are trickling down to our favorite stores such as Urban Outfitters and Nasty Gal. The scenery behind my pictures were the most parisian look I could find in Richmond (laughs to self). The house behind me actually had a French flag waving in the front. I titled today's outfit; Top Off Your Game because of the mixture of a play on words and a reminder of encouragement that some day I'll be sitting front row for Paris Fashion Week. It's great to stay on top of your goals and keep striving for the best you that you can be. Enjoy!

Think Pink

Hey Fashionistas! Happy Fashion Week and welcome to my new and improved blog. The look is different but the fashion certainly is not! This What to Wear Wednesday I am wearing a thrifted floral top, a pastel pink skirt from Forever 21 and the perfect gladiator sandals from Urban Outfitters. This monochromatic look is great for the fall season! It's fun and fresh and will for sure set you apart from all of the other fashionistas. Also experiment with pastels. An all pastel colored palette is trending for the fall believe it or not. I may not be able to be in New York for fashion week but I'm sure going to dress as if I was sitting in the front row. Hope this inspires your next look!

"Jumper" into Spring!

Spring into Style!
Here is a list of what you should keep from your winter wardrobe to transition smoothly into your spring wardrobe...


1.KEEP: Your Sweaters: It's okay to continue wearing sweaters during the spring season. Just go for more light weight and light colored material.
2.KEEP: Your Booties: With the weather getting nicer, everyone wants to start bringing out every wedge sandal known to man. Try save money trying integrating those closed up shoes with your less closed clothes. By the time summer hits you'll have enough to get those pair of strappy sandals you've been drooling over.
3.KEEP: Ankle Socks: If you do decide to go ahead and get those strappy heels. Don't be afraid to pair them with some cool ankle socks with prints or ruffles at the top. Don't be afraid to try something new.
4.KEEP: Winter Whites: meaning... smile! Don't be afraid to show off those pearly whites, it's freaking SPRING! Warmer weather on the rise!
