Why 2019 Is the Best Year for Fashion
If you would've asked me what was the best era for fashion a year ago I would've said the 90s with the scrunchies and Rachel Green plaid skirts, but after some examination, my conclusion has changed. Maybe it's because of my dad telling me to live in the present, but I believe we are in the best era for fashion. Sure there is a manifold of overpriced t-shirt brands, stores that profit off of fast fashion, celebrity brands, and Friends merchandise taking over the stores, but other than that the state of fashion is doing pretty good for a generation of people stuck on their cell phones. For some who are decades older than me the clothes we see today may be outrageous and they may be fulminating at the sight of what these Instagram models are wearing, but with the help of the equality movement, fashion has changed for the better.

Are Influencers Effective Enough to Provide Value to Businesses and the Social Community?
The ways businesses reach to customers have changed with the fast-growing Internet tools over the years. Now, large businesses and new startups adopt another way to grow and expand through influencers, the modern channel of digital advertising. Society is more engaged than ever before on the Internet, and spends most of the time connected to their social media with apps like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Snapchat; just to name the top ones, where it’s possible to stay updated with the latest trends, unlimited information and events of the world. And here business owners use influencers who can provide high engagement rates to their websites and increase sales. It’s obvious that social media has been displacing the traditional advertising tools. Even at its early stages, the influencers industry reports yearly earnings of nearly two billion dollars in 2018, and it’s expected to double in the oncoming years.

Best Looks from the Teen Choice Awards
The Teen Choice Awards premiered last week on August 11, and since I didn't know I didn't watch or vote, but I sure did look at the red carpet. Since the award show took place on the beach the style of the show wasn't your typical red carpet style and the celebrities instead looked pretty casual. This year I didn't expect there to be so many faces and big celebrities at the award show, but it seems like the award show is being taken more seriously than prior shows. These are my best looks from the red carpet, and they are in no particular order.

Sweater Style for Every Occasion
Sweaters give you comfort in a different way than other clothes you find in your closet. They can be worn alone, with shorts, jeans, or even workout and yoga pants. You can find some beautifully crocheted ones, ugly Christmas ones that light up, or ones that can fit you and fido comfortably on a cold, stormy night. One of the best parts about them is you can style them for almost every occasion.

Screw You
As someone who floats between a size 12, 14, or 16, I constantly find it so difficult to shop for clothing. I look at clothes at popular stores and only see it going up to size 10 or having a bunch of XS and no XL. I'm going to go ahead and just call these stores out... Francescas, Forever 21, H&M, Urban Outfitters... just to name a few. I went shopping because, well, I need cute clothes... who doesn't!? But this last shopping experience got me really thinking... why isn't there more of a conversation about these stores not supporting women larger than a size 10?!
