Every year when I was younger I would watch the Oscars with my mom. To us, it was the most important event on television and we scrutinized every red carpet gown. All the elegance and fantasy of the Oscars has instilled in me a love for fashion. Seeking out style ideas, looking at the latest fashion spreads, following trends and designers and examining runway shows has become an integral part of my life. For me, fashion is not just something I care about, it gets me through my day. It is a way to be whoever you want to be. Some people may think it's "just clothes", but fashion is a way to say something without words, have fun and feel good about yourself.
