Trend Settaaa: About me: and the 7 things that are false about fashion

My name is Michel Kerkes and I live in El Segundo, California. I was born and raised in the city of Manhattan Beach for thirteen years of my young life. From the age that I was four, I had been intrigued with the idea of fashion. Whether is was dressing up in my mothers clothing or steeling my big sisters' shirts, even at a

young age I always wanted to be up with the latest trends. Not only do I love the style and creativity of a fashion designer but the thrill of clothes is what attracts me to blogging. I enjoy attending fashion in L.A. shows at different places and colleges, such as FIDM. I channel my fashion icons, such as Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, Mary-Kate Olsen, and Nicole Richie, just to name a few. Below you will learn the seven mistakes people think about fashion that everyone should know: Using seven celebrities or style.

Step 1: Kate Moss

Most people today believe that the only way to be "in fashion" is to buy expensive clothing and spend thousands of dollars on designer hand bags. This statement is untrue. Take Kate Moss for example , everything that this famous supermodel puts on ends up on the runways of fashion's top designers, on the cover of the hottest magazines, and in the closets of millions. And what does Kate Moss wear? Vintage clothing, baggy trousers, and urban styled clothing which can call be found in little vintage shops all over L.A. Buffalo Exchange offers designer items for cheap and even offer a promotion on how you can sell them your own clothes for money or in exchange for something you like there.

2. Sienna Miller: False Fact Number Two: If people are wearing it, it's in style.

Sienna Miller exemplifies originality and uniqueness to the fashion world. If everyone is wearing the same thing, someone had to have started the trend. Sienna Miller is your key icon in strange styles such as gladiators (pictured below), that make headlines immediately.

Critics used to frown upon gladiator sandals because well, they were worn by gladiators. Once seen on Sienna Miller, every girl on earth fought for a pair.

Who knew that old shoes, your boyfriend's top, and a vintage hat could be so cute!

3. Mary-Kate Olsen: False Fact Number Three: Layering is never in style.

Mary-Kate Olsen has spent years layering baggy clothes on her little body, making the "bum" look quit fashionable. There are some exceptions, but if you keep the idea of Mary-Kate, you will be on your way to greatness.

4. Nicole Richie: False Fact Number Four: Big sunglasses make you look like a bug.

Nicole Richie definitely has had her fair share of "bug-eyed" glasses but if you look at the teens all over LA, they all mask their faces with huge shades to hide from the sun. On the contrary, Nicole Richie brings the "chic" look of the sunglasses, as she models them all over Los Angeles. Even Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and many more advertise these stylish shades.

5. Lindsay Lohan: False Fact Number five: Always match.

Mixing up different styles, colors, and patters can really spice up your wardrobe. Matching is so blah these days, just look at Lindsay Lohan. You normally wouldn't look twice at a pair of blue shoes when your wearing a red dress, but look how fierce Lindsay looks in her mismatch attire.

6. Paris Hilton. False Fact Number Two: Sweats are not in style.

Yeah, sweats are made for laying around and working out, but why not make the comfy clothes fashionable? Paris Hitlon is definitely the heiress of making a pair of sweat pants a fashion statement.

Sweats are hot!

But please refrain from dressing like this...

The only fashion statement Brittney Spears is making is a cry for help. Please burn after wearing...Make sure your clothing fits people!

7. False Fact Number Seven: UGGS are UGly

When it's cold out, UGGS are one of the most comfortable shoes to wear. Not only can you wear them when it rains, but they also look very chic with a cute pea coat. All celebrities wear UGGS, and yes, they look good! Snow boots aren't only for the snow, they are a fashion statement.
