Ever since I was a little girl, I've known that fashion design was my calling. My mother would give me magazines of my own and I would explore for hoursthe beautiful imagery and stunning designs - while always paying attention to what was in and what was out.

DENIM DREAMER

Let's be real, we all have at least one favorite pair of denim jeans that we wear out to death While denim is never going out of style, you don't have to wear the same boring jeans all the time!

Over the past few seasons, we have seen denim reimagined With so many types such as acid wash, distressed, flared, and bootcut you can definitely find out which one suits your style We have seen denim maxi skirts and dresses make a resurgence due to the fashion industry taking inspiration from all the decades

SILVER RAGE BLAZIN' BLAZERS

Move over gold, It's silvers time to shine! With the popularity of the y2k aesthetic, silver has been seen more frequently.

Let's be honest, everyone needs a blazer in their life! With so many different styles of blazers there are many ways you can style it. Oversized blazers have been really trendy these past few seasons and it looks like this trend will continue in 2023. 2 0 2 3

Another reason that we're in love with blazers is color While having neutral blazers such as white and black are nice, we suggest using a pop of color: preferably the Color of the Year, Magenta!

THE 'CLEAN' LOOK

This year we have been loving the "clean girl" hairstyle. Supermodels such as Bella Hadid have helped to popularize the look. While you can keep it just as a bun, we suggest using a fun claw clip to add a creative personal style!

CLASSIC TWIST

We are in love with these anklet heels! With a classic twist on a basic heel, these shoes will elevate any look. They add a touch of charm and vintage class.

BUCKLE UP

We are currently obsessed with buckled shoulder bags! They add a level of edginess to any outfit. You will be sure to see this bag everywhere in 2023.

In a collection inspired by heartbreak, Layla Laboy’s collection explores the complexities of relationships In her experience, Layla finds that opposites attract and when brought together create a beautiful mix of strong and soft personalities and emotions. Layla’s collection reflects these complexities by utilizing soft feminine materials like lace in combination with rugged and tough materials like leather. Together these elements create something powerful.
