How Music Can Inspire Your Style
One of the reasons I have fallen in love with fashion the way I have music: both are a language of their own. You don’t need to be fluent in a specific tongue to appreciate the story that can be told through style or song. But beyond that, I love how musicians have their own…

Precious Cargo: Utility Style
If Indiana Jones was a woman, who kept her whip on the pulse of the latest fashion trends, she would be thrill-seeking in this rokh two-piece set. Sure, I’m not an archaeology professor on-duty and a world-wandering treasure hunter off-duty, but a broadcast journalist based in California’s capital city has her own set of adventures…

Spring/Summer 2023 Trends Become One With Nature
It seems that the fashion set has taken a page from David William Thoreau and become one with nature. In January, Daniel Rosenberry’s latest couture collection for Schiaparelli took literal inspiration from the animal kingdom with embroidered animal heads, hand sculpted in foam, wool and silk faux fur. They were “hand-painted to look as lifelike…

Making “Indie Sleaze” work for your 2023 wardrobe
If you tend to have a sleeker style, it doesn’t mean you can’t let out your inner “indie sleaze.” This fashion era that followed Y2K, is one that can be borderline cringe for people like me that were in middle school at its peak: heavy smudged under eyeliner, choppy bangs, skinny jeans with combat boots…but…

How Sacramento’s Tower Bridge Inspired My Outfit
Fashion inspiration can stem from anywhere. Upon first glance, you may think Etro’s Fall 2023 Ready-to-Wear show at Milan Fashion Week influenced my decision to sport a plaid skirt suit. Or perhaps Burberry’s Fall 2023 Ready-to-Wear runway at London Fashion week. But this animus came from the California capital city’s architecture. Sacramento is eclectically outfitted…

The Micro-Trends of 2022 that I Loved
I ‘aught’ to tell you: some people wear their hearts on their sleeves. I wear mine all over my body. It’s a canvas of things I love, from people I love, and a time I bittersweetly, have feelings for: the early 2000s. I grew up in the early and late aughts, trying to figure out…

Ganni and Cowboy Boots at Stanford Mansion
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. That’s where cowboy boots were showcased at the home of the…

Inside Ralph Lauren 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. California has always been a land of…

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…
