The cherry on top of this event, is that she will be doing questions and answers at the end of her lecture. If you are in the area and would like to attend, e-mail events@pratt.edu for a reservation.

An Airy & Lite Breakfast: Liya Kebede for April 2010 Vogue

For breakfast this morning I wanted something lite, and not too heavy. I found a very satisfying meal in this sweet romantic flavored fashion spread. Liya Kebede is featured in Vogue's April 2010 issue, in an editorial called, Float On. This editorial was shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Pigott, and styled by Edward Enninful. The pictures in this spread feature dresses and jackets paired together. This spread is a mixture of pastels, ruffles, and layers. My favorite detail in this editorial is actually not the clothing, but Liya's full long, luscious locks.

An Afternoon Snack: Andre Leon Talley on ANTM

I don't know if you caught America's Next Top Model last night. It was the debut episode of Andre Leon Talley, as a judge. Andre definitely has given me a reason to watch this season. He is a leader in the fashion industry, and gives both entertaining and real advice to the models. If Andre was not on this season, I probably would've skipped watching this season.


A Pink Treat: Lady Gaga's New Hair Color

Lady Gaga was spotted out and about in Sydney Australia, with a new color in her hair. The fashionable star has added pastel pink color streaks to her hair. Pastels are a big trend this spring season in clothing items, and I guess also in hair. Would you put a pastel color in your hair?
