As a self proclaimed ‘Carrie’ I was over the moon to learn that one of my long time favorite designers Elisa Lopez would be designing a recycled line for the Charlotte Seen runway with a Sex and the City theme!

The show started with a couple of Very Carries.

A stunning Samantha came out next in sexy sequins.

This Old Hollywood look is definitely Charlotte.

Ending with a serious yet flirty Miranda.

This was so exciting for me because of my love for the show and my love for the upcycled creations from Elisa Lopez

Dreams came true on the Charlotte Seen runway as Rita Miles presented Wonka, a fun filled, fashionable Candy Land delight.

The show took place at the incredible Creative Network Studios.

The multi talented Priyasha Dutta kicked things off as Wonka, selling Wonka Bars to the audience.

Inside five of the bars were Golden Tickets, which the winners cashed in for prizes.

Aurorah Mendez led us into the Chocolate Factory with a song.

We followed her lead through a magical land of colorful fashions.

Colorful explosions, tulle and top hats dominated the runway.

Even the tiny tots got into the spirit.

Come with me and you’ll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you’ll see
Into your imagination…

The singer turned designer has a new collab.

This time it’s with the jewelry house Tiffany’s.

The collection incorporates sharp, spear-like spikes and is offered in 18k yellow gold and titanium.

With an unexpected twist on traditional diamond settings, the pavé pieces feature reverse-set diamonds that expose the diamond’s pavilion, maximizing brilliance and creating an edgy vibe.

The use of titanium serves as a contrast between the subdued reflective quality of the gold and diamonds.

“I’m very inspired by the water, and the name of this collection “Titan” draws inspiration from Poseidon, ruler of the sea, King of Atlantis – “Atlantis” which is also the name of the community I grew up in Virginia Beach” says Pharrell.

This is just the latest in a long line of collabs with the talented Williams. I’m looking forward to seeing more from the great mind of this designer .

Fashion and Pride month go hand in hand.

I’m found pieces from 5 of my favorite designers that celebrate Pride Month.

I love the Y2K vibe from this Cora Medium Rainbow Logo Shoulder Bag.

2. Kendra Scott:

Kendra’s most well known and well loved Elisa Pendant Necklace takes on rainbow hues for this special piece.

Gucci:

UGG:

Ugg partnered with comedian and author Alok Vaid-Menon to co-create the new URSeen collection for Pride 2024, celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community. Check out the fun, neon footwear!

Apple:

Apple continuously support a number of LGBTQ+ charities and communities, and release an Apple Watch band every year to celebrate Pride Month.

Love this braided band. To me it represents unity.

As a staunch Ally to the LGBTQ+ community I enjoy seeing designer support various causes through fashion. Whats your favorite Pride month look??
