Best of Fashion in 2015 Awards

  I feel as about obligated as every other blogger around this time to create a "2015 favorites" of some sort and obviously as you can tell by this wonderful banner I created for myself, (I hate this phase where I have to make everything ironic or sarcastic I'm sorry) I have created the ultimate How Fitting awards ceremony for my personal favorite fashion icons/inspirations of 2015:

OK this is not yet another excuse for me to discuss my love, Harry Styles, but he honestly was one of my biggest style inspirations this year- he took a very vintage and 70s angle this year and oh my don't even get me started on his hair. Overall, I'm head over heels for the loose patterned button downs and (usually ripped) jeans he's been sporting over 2015. 

Also, if we're going to be on the topic of One Direction (or former) members, I'd like to give a shoutout to Zayn Malik for looking extremely high fashion this year- his red carpet looks have been killing it. 

Though her gorgeous outfits and looks are definitely not what Amandla Stenberg should be most recognized for this year, (look up any of the social justice arguments she's made), she was killing it in the red carpet and casual look game, her prom photo being one of my favorite instagram posts of 2015. She's got this awesome unique and elegant aura to her and just looked exquisite, probably one of my favorite people overall 2015. 

Speaking of Jaden Smith, I've been in love with his recent androgynous looks and immediately thought of him when writing this up. He's completely got the tee shirt dress down and how to style it along with how to accessorize all black outfits; his looks have been so interesting and my recent favorite person to look out for on the red carpet. 

I think we all saw this one coming. How could I not write up a fashion favorites and not include my biggest inspiration possible, Tavi Gevinson? Though she's been killing the game since 2009, her style has really developed over the years and her 2015 looks were much more mature and still interesting as always. She's been wearing a lot of mock and high turtlenecks recently which are a perfect compliment for her body type and looks just gorgeous oh my. 

Happy new years!

Tavi Gevinson Over The Years

Tavi went from a cute eleven year old to a grown teenager. Over the years, her fashion and appearance have obviously changed.
2008

Can we talk about that grey hair? Tavi is absolutely adorable and during this time, just looked like a little girl playing dress up (which she basically was) during this time, Tavi was in sixth grade and when I saw her, she talked about how her classmates would make fun of her and how she dressed so crazily. She explained how she'd try and come back with something even weirder just to annoy them. I am still in awe how a girl that age could style something like this.

2009

This is probably the first picture of Tavi I ever saw. This period was when The Style Rookie was getting more and more popular and Tavi was gaining views. In an interview with the BBC, Tavi explained that she really dressed like a grandma and I can still see the "grandma chic" style she was going for. Tavi is about thirteen in this photo and is still as she described, "playing dress up". Also, can we talk about that time Bryan Boy dressed up as Tavi for halloween? For that was pretty magical.

2010
Tavi became much more edgy at this point and though she was only around thirteen/fourteen, you could tell she was growing up and growing out of the "cute little girl" image most people had for her. I really liked this point in Tavi's career for she was really learning how to experiment and gave her readers something they weren't expecting. 2010 was the beginning of Tavi breaking out of the awkward little kid look she had going and became much more confident in her style and just herself generally.

2011
Rookie had been started and Tavi a lot had not only changed in Tavi's style but also personality wise. She stopped being looked at as a little girl and really had grown up a lot. Tavi Gevinson had always been pretty but this was the year when everyone really realized how gorgeous she is. One of my favorite posts of Tavi's was when she wrote about how she wanted to be pretty. She didn't want to be attractive for boys but just for herself and that really got me to think that the want to be attractive is a "un feminist" thing to do.

2012
Tavi was gradually toning down her style. Her clothing was still interesting and fashionable but she explained that though playing dress up was a huge part of her childhood and middle school life, it was time to grow up and she didn't really see fashion as one of her main interests anymore.

By the time 2013 came around, Tavi's main focuses were mostly on Rookie and the exciting Year Book she was creating. Her style was still very unique but as she said in 2012, she wasn't as interested in it anymore though she still did love clothing. I really loved this point for though Tavi was still a fashion icon, she had also grown to be such an inspiring feminist icon too. At this point, she was also focusing on her acting career with the release of her first Hollywood movie, "Enough Said"

Tavi has grown up so much since she started her blogging career and I couldn't be prouder. Rookie has become her main focus though from time to time, she will update The Style Rookie. Her style is very sophisticated though she will add a modern touch to it.
