Avery

        Avery is one of my most glamorous designs ever. I see her on a red carpet or parading around at a prom. I named this dress Avery because it seems to me like a name for an insanely beautiful girl. I picture her as the heada turner. The dress is so stunning, I feel like it has the power to make people look twice at her remarkable beauty. I am so proud of this dress as well as my Selena dress because I love how detailed she is and she really captured my vision and what I was going for. Avery is truely special to me I love everything about her.

     Avery is inspired by old Hollywood, and by the old Hollywood actors who took glamour to the next level and are still the fashion icons for sexiness and glamour. I give Avery a mermaid style dress because I wanted a simple elegence to her. I was inspired once again by Marilyn Monroe, because he style is striking without being over the top, she could take simplicity to a whole other level. Marilyn also loved to expose her curves so I knew a tight fitted dress would be best for that old Hollywood style. I added sequins throughout the entire dress with pearl over the shoulder sleeves because I was inspired by Elizabeth Taylor's dramatic style, nothing was ever to bold for Elizabeth Taylor. I was inspired by Audrey Hepburn's sweet and soft style and what's sweeter than roses added lightly around the dress. I added a sweetheart neckline because it is timeless and never goes out style much like Grace Kelly's style.I was inspired by the old Hollywood style because it was so sophisticated and feminine. I always liked that style because it's so  classsic and I always try to incorperate that trend into my own style and my designs because it never goes out of style. I also adore the old Hollywood style because it highlights every woman's style and it's so relatable to the average woman. Old Hollywood was all about enhancing each womans' best features and individal style. I think it is so important to have a style that is so uniquely yours and shows off your best self. Style is all about being yourself and choosing clothing that is going to make you feel good. For instance I love wearing a dark lip you will never find me wearing some danity nude lip because I love my lips so I want to enhance them and show them off so I tend to go for bolder colors. Lately I've been wearing the vampy lip and I think it makes me look sultry and for the first time in my life, sexy. However, I have been told that it looks ugly because it's so dark and gothic. I won't stop wearing it though just because of someone else's opinion because it's my best self. My dark lips are my trade mark I love to wear it because it makes me feel beautiful and I don't want to hide myself because I am not confident on how I look. Bottom line, opinions shouldn't matter because everyone has a different one and at the end of the day the only one that matters is your own. Do what makes you happy. If Marilyn Monroe listened to what people thought of her do you think she'd be a big star? No she wouldn't she always did what she wanted which makes her classic and unique. This dress is all about best features. Don't feel like you have to be insecure and can't pull certian things off, I say pick your favorite feature and show it off!

   Marilyn Monroe once said "We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets." So I tell you readers, live for today, love like there is no tomorrow, be bold, and don't ever be afraid of anyones opinion of you. You live for yourself and nobody else. Don't ever second guess your life, goals, or dreams. You will regret it if you don't take opportunities that are given to you, or if you let anyone stop you from achieving your life long goals. Be yourself and live a little take chances. It's all about the big gamble my friends.
