    Photos by Anaya Salcedo These boots were made for strutting across a runway, and that’s just what they did this past year. From Copenhagen Fashion Week on a boardwalk that became Ganni’s makeshift catwalk, to fall fashion month at the Ralph Lauren runway show.

    Low-rise jeans: a personal history with the crop

    I have high standards for my low-rise jeans. And when my mother has already test-driven a pair from back and the day, I know that they are going to be of a clothing caliber worth my wear. I tend to look at different eras of fashion coming back in style…through the Jinous Vartan lens: especially… Read more

    Inside Ralph Lauren’s First Runway Show on the West Coast

    The Ralph Lauren Spring 2023 show was a love letter to California, written in a different font than you may have imagined for the brand’s first West Coast Show “I have always been inspired by the natural beauty, the heritage, and glamour of the West Coast of America.

    Top Trend on the SS23 Runways: The Denim Bustier

    American fashion is having a moment—and it’s living in the form of a denim bustier. Let us be real for a second: jeans are so associated with Americana that I sometimes picture the navy corner of our star-spangled banner, as being made of denim. I can practically hear a young Bruce Springsteen singing “Born in… Read more

It’s all about: back to school. Whether class is about to be in session for you, you’ve already graduated,… Read more

Style Speaks

On this “World Press Freedom Day,” I am honored to have been recognized by the State Senate alongside other talented journalists in the Senate Gallery of the CA State Capitol. Today’s office: The California State Capitol interviewing CA First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom! Shoutout to my lovely photographer @tamara_on_earth who filmed and edited this wonderful piece on Ag Day! And the Academy Award for best picture [taker] goes to…. @howsogia! ✨🎞️ My outfits and my people🙌 Let me tell you a story about the power of mentorship: Seven years ago my @pepperdine journalism professor, @theresamdelos introduced me and other students to @foxla’s @marlatellez. During a mentorship dinner, I asked Marla if I could shadow her while she was anchoring. She said yes, and I got to spend an entire day at FOX LA, hoping one day like her, I could serve my community as a TV News Anchor. Fast forward to today, I get an unexpected call from our @fox40news team that FOX LA wants me to report for them live on TV during a major weather event in NorCal! I got to share the screen with LEGENDS @elexmichaelson (fellow @uscannenberg alum) and @devinenews (fellow fashion aficionado). And little did I know, that Marla was watching! Mentorship is a seed planted in someone that nurtures their growth for years to come. It’s beautiful when others believe in you, you believe in yourself, and you believe in others. ENTERTAINMENT COVERAGE: When #paulthomasanderson is filming a movie in Sacramento starring #leonardodicaprio and #teyanataylor, you better believe I’m covering it 🎥 Candids at Court 🎤 Stopped and [wore] the roses this NYE! 🌹 2023 was filled with
