What once used to be one of the most anticipated events (especially my late teens early twenties self) on national television has become lackluster fodder. Victoriaâs Secret Fashion Show happened last Sunday, and from seeing the huge drop in viewership ratings many didnât seem to care. And could you really lame them? I stoped watching the show eons ago. The only reason I knew it was happeningâŠ

FBNYC News: Is In-Store Black Friday Shopping Dead?
Iâm going to go with an unequivocal maybe. Hello all, we have survived, yet again another Black Friday. Let us all cheer and be merry with all of the deals we got on said day! Now that I got that out of the way,  I will have to admit, I personally was not excited for Black Friday. I started my gift shopping early this year, and Black Friday sales were not a huge priority this year. I was however,âŠ

Fresh off the news of the eCommerce giant making itâs way to New York, Queens to be specific, have many New Yorkers intrigued and annoyed. If you donât know, New York is an expensive ass city. With crowded boroughs and almost every area gentrifying, it is hard as is for many New Yorkers already .
So what does it mean for Amazonâs residency for the city? New jobs of course, but at what cost? TheâŠ

The Spring Summer 2019 shows for London Fashion week are coming to a close. As I stated in my previous somewhat annoyed write-up on New York Fashion Week, I was hoping to feel differently for Londonsâ shows this season. Anticipating Burberry with newly appointed head womenswear designer Riccardo Tisci. Â Before I get into Burberryâs collection I want to acknowledge the brands that stayed true to their ethos this past week.
Ports 1961 has temporarily bandaged my broken heart caused by the departure Pheobe Philo at Celine. The collection surprised the hell out of me and my peers once we saw the photos. Regaining my hope that all was not lost, and creativity still existed in this industry. (designer name) did an amazing job at cultivating femininity in a rather effortless or dare I say cool way. All the boxes were checked for this collection seamlessly without feeling forced. Heavy hand-knitted dresses with handkerchief hems, beautiful tailoring, and noteworthy accessories. I called out several trends that would trickle down into the bridge tier and high street brands with ease. The scrkeen-printinted blazers and shirts hello?! The tight collection of 34 looks served as a testament that older luxury brands can still compete in a market of digital and fast-fashion competition.
JW Anderson this season decided to ditch his intricate structured silhouettes for a more oversized one. I for one am fine with the new direction the designer decided tackle this season, but felt like it has all been done before from the likes of Celine and Jil Sander. The mixing of fabrics  and prints were easily the focal point of this collection, but again lost momentum midway through the 54 look presentation. On a positive note this collection offers some cool accessories, something the brand is strong for. The pointy-toed cowboy boots offered in knee and ankle lengths in patent leather will have every fashion girl excited to don next spring.
 So, apparently, socialite? Iâm too sure what Alexa Chung is doing these days, but she has cultivated enough of a following to debut her inaugural collection this season. The collection was nothing too forced and consisted of trends we have seen this past season. Satin and silk dresses that Iâm sure can transition from day to night, printed dresses with lace inlets, and a white double-breasted suit. Nothing stood out, take that as you will. I particularly did like her version of the âlittle black dressâ and baby blue slicker, but all been done before and better.
 Jil Sander continues to to do what it does best, especially with their Spring offerings. Oversized, yet effortlessly classic looks in the color palette of pastels and neutrals staying true to Sandersâs aesthetic. Chic monochrome pantsuits and a jumpsuit (hello), hung beautifully on the models. Floaty tiered and tailored draped looks anchored with either platform sandals, square toe lace up boots, or tight knit thigh high boots. The standout look to me was the mixed print intarsia sweater dress. Everything was palpable and executed flawlessly.
Burberry, Burberry, Burberry. Not sure what happened here, but it was not good. Many like myself were anticipating the debut of Riccardo Tisci as head womenswear designer. He was able to turn Givenchyâs business around and is expected to do the same for the renowned London house. It was clear Tisci was hired for younger demographic, but the collection ended up feeling like Givenchy knockoffs. Tisci predictably gave us Burberryâs tartan plaid print that was housed in silk blouses and a tweed jacket. Trench coats were thrown in there too for safe measure. Nothing different from past seasons, but one had silk fabric jutting out from under the arms and oddly attached to the hem. Um ok. Things got really strange with the screen printed tops of what looked like demonic babies. The images haphazardly screen printed to blouses and skirts. Oh and lets not forget the cow print skits and shorts with unattached hems that fell awkwardly on the thighs. There was also a top that had the word âCOWâ printed on the wearerâs left chest. âBitch, Iâm a cow.â Reminiscent of Virgilâs logoâed out Off-White. Again weird for Burberry, but by this point I donât know what to think.
 The menâs offerings werenât bad. the color palette stayed dark with blues and blacks of tailored looks. Their was one weird quirky oversized breast pocket thrown in there for good measure to keep up with the confusing on the womenâs clothes I assumed. Again out of place.
 Overall I expected more from a seasoned designer. Tisci is not quite sure how to attack as creative director of Burberry in 2018. He wants to appeal to everyone and their momma, literally. He is going to have to find a happy medium, because a collection of 135 looks was overkill.

New York Fashion Week came and went similar to this yearâs summer. No, really, where the hell did those three months go? Those balmy New York nights quickly transitioned to mild weather and an even milder fashion week. Yes, I said it. Well, besides that shoe-throwing incident that took place at the Harperâs Bazaar fete between two hip-hop artists. Nevertheless, New York fashion week showcasedâŠ
