Best Fashion Looks from the 2017 MTV VMA Awards

I admit, I'm not the biggest fan of award shows, but I always look forward to seeing the red carpet looks. Tonight's MTV Video Music Awards brought a lot of shimmer, satin, and meh looks. It seems like a lot of attendants dress "down" for the VMAs, but one can still do the damn thing with a casual meets glam look, am I right or am I right? Aside from the tacky fishnet dresses and birds nest couture dresses (Ke$ha), here are some of the best looks of the night:

5 Fab Fall 2017 Fashion Trends

Photo: Indigital.tv / Japan Fashion Week Organization

Summer, you we're a cool season, but the best season of all times goes to autumn. I'm super stoked about sweaters, hot cocoa, animal print two piece suits, crisp weather, and fall leaves. I'm dedicated to totally embracing not relying solely on summer to have fun, vacation, and enjoy life. Especially because autumn is such a dope season and there's still so many activities to get into.

I'm not super big on seasonal fashion trends or fashion trends in general, but checking out some of the looks from 2017 New York Fashion Week and other collections for the autumn season is giving me so much inspiration to create some bomb ass looks. Let's get into some of the top trends for the upcoming season:

1. Plaid Prints

Plaid is a classic autumn staple for many fashionistas. There's been a trend of grey plaid going down runways from New York to Paris. My favorite plaid pieces are plaid skirts and pants. I think it's pretty safe to say plaid will never go out of style

2. Futuristic Silver & Gold Metallics

Usually silver and gold pieces are big during the holiday season in specific, however they're making a flashy statement this autumn.

3. Flower Power

Pringle of Scotland

Just because it's autumn it doesn't mean you have to trade in flowers for leaves. While typical fall colors of red, burnt orange, and brown are popular for seasonal wear, don't be afraid to go bold and play with typical spring and summer colors and florals.

4. Funky Furs

Miu Miu

Mind you, I don't mean funky as in smelling funk, I mean funky as in groovy, dope, cool. Ya know? Yeah *twiddles thumbs* Anywho. These furs aren't your grandma's vintage beaver coat, these are fun, colorful, hip, and are sure to bring color to any autumn day. Collars, jackets, coats, muffs, and so forth, it's all about colorful furs this year.

5. Pink & Red for the Win

Max Mara

Think pink and see red with a monochromatic look this season with head to toe red or pink. I usually add other colors to bold skirts and dresses like the ones shown above, however it would be fun to wear an entire color from top to bottom. Surprisingly I've never tried that before.

BONUS:

Shearling

Coach 1941

I remember back in the 2000's shearling coats were all the rage, and it looks like they just made a major comeback. Now you can match your classic Ugg boots perfectly.

Feathers

Calvin Klein

Go hard or go home. Feathers are really pushing it to the edge and I'm loving every bit of it. I honestly would have never expected for feathers to be trendy in a season like autumn, but it is so unorthodox and vibrant and I can definitely see myself feathered up this fall.

What I'm loving about the trends for Fall 2017 Fashion is the retro themes and unique pieces. I usually play it on the safe side with browns and oranges, but I can't wait to experiment with bold colors and even feathers this season.

Fashion Icon Files: Lisa Turtle from "Saved By the Bell"

One of the highlights of growing up was catching reruns of the 1990's hit teen show Saved by the Bell. While I was still in diapers in the early 1990's when the show was at its peak, seeing the show in the early 2000's on Saturday mornings and afternoons was great. Hands down, I think this is one of the best teen shows ever made. One of the most memorable characters from the show was Lisa Turtle played by actress Lark Voorhies. Like her stylish late 1980's/early 1990's television counterparts Regine Hunter and Sandra Clark, Lisa Turtle is a member of the original "Bad & Boujee Crew".

Lisa Turtle was the fashionista of fictional Bayside High. Her parents were both surgeons so she had the money to effortlessly stay fly and stand out in the crowd. A gossip queen and lover of fashion, her journey with her friends included helping the main character Zack getting out of sticky situations, playing match maker, and dodging Screech's attempts to flirt and woo her (I've come to realize he was a major creep in a major way).

Lisa Turtle often gets compared to her fashionista counterpart, Hilary Banks from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (played by Karyn Parsons) when it comes to fashion. Although Ms. Turtle and Ms. Banks both had a similar early 90's valley girl steelo, I feel that Lisa's fashion was a lot more edgier than Hilary's. Hilary often played it safe with a uniformed hat and solid color blazer look, Lisa played around with colorblocking, fringes, patterns and plenty other fun looks.

Let's take a peep at all the iconic looks Lisa has blessed us with:

If you can't already tell by my fashion, Lisa Turtle is certainly one of my personal fashion icons. Whether casual or formal, Lisa was never afraid to play with color, accessorize with chunky earrings, and switch up themes from cowgirl looks to sailor vibes.
