Last night I attended Gizmodo's Home of the Future, highlighting "forward-looking products from design, technology, and beyond". 

A panel of designers and others in the industry discussed topics regarding the future of fashion, including what our clothes will look like, and how they will change (if we are still wearing them- seriously!); their adaptability to our future bodies and how we will be living our lives.  This developed further into thoughts about wearable technology, the involvement of science, and the integration of computers that has already begun to evolve.  Yay or nay for 3-D printing? Can fashion be transcribed into our DNA? We got a good glimpse of where things might be going and the insiders' thoughts about the direction of the industry. 

We got to hear from the minds of Asher Levine (Designer), Natalia Allen (Designer), Ricky Hendry (Isaora), Matthew Waldman (Nooka), Tim Richardson (Photographer & Director), and moderated by Jordan Kushins of Gizmodo.


If you're in the neighborhood, get over to 268 Mulberry St. and see it all for yourself.  If you can't make it, still check out all the products available that are already leading us into the future.

Fashion Fights Cancer x IFB

Last week I attended an event hosted by Fashion Fights Cancer and IFB.  Fashion bloggers from around the city gathered and designed DIY turbans for cancer awareness. With tons of supplies and endless possibilities, the sky was the limit! It was so much fun designing my first DIY turban and hanging out with the gals, all while supporting a great cause.

White on White + Blue

The white-on-white trend is all over the streets now that spring is in full effect.  In fact, in my personal opinion, it's nearly getting overdone.  In order to keep it interesting, incorporating a pop of color is always fun, like these powder-blue babies on my feet.  By adding a contrasting accessory, you can still play up the trend, but separate yourself and avoid blending into the sea of whites that everyone else is wearing.

I was down to see the cherry blossoms in DC, and it was so beautiful.  2,000+ fully bloomed trees surrounding the Tidal Basin.  The weather was also gorgeous, warm and sunny like it should be this time of year.  I was so excited that I was finally able to break out my SW gladiators again.  These shoes are show-stealers, so it's always best to keep the rest of the outfit simple when wearing them.  There are many things that I've been itching to take out of my closet again, while waiting for the (seeming eternally) imminent warm weather, and these were first in line.  What are you waiting to break out of your closet for the summer?
