I had such a great time at the Essence Street Style Block Party in Brooklyn. It is always one of my favorite New York Fashion Week events. I was super inspired by everyone’s incredible sense of style and all the new, up and coming trends that were showcased at this festival. I cannot wait to see what next year brings.

Lately, I have been trying to come up with different ways to repurpose my favorite denim pieces. One idea I had was to layer a rhinestone necklace over my denim choker to add dimension. I also have been wearing my denim jackets off the shoulder to give my jackets a more casual and less structured feel.

I love a good little black dress. To keep this particular dress from looking too feminine, I added a chunky necklace, snapback and edgy boots.

This fall, there will be a huge emphasis on statement shirts. More specifically, unconventional tops with dramatic, theatrical sleeves are going to be very trendy. Designers are reinventing ways to construct (and deconstruct) traditional silhouettes and shapes.
