FASHION | DKNY Spring 2014

Photo via Facebook

I am in love with DKNY's spring 2014 campaign. Not only does it feature a few of my faves (hello A$AP and Cara Delevigne), but it's just so badass. DKNY knows how to get people talking and take social media by storm. 

The campaign features rapper A$AP Rocky, skateboarder Dylan Rieder, and models Cara Delevigne, Jourdan Dunn and Eliza Cummings. Talk about an all star line-up.

My MTV VMA Red Carpet Experience

Thanks to 1iota (an awesome company that gets fans up close at some of the biggest events), I got the chance to be a part of this year's MTV Video Music Awards action in Brooklyn. I got to be a part of the audience to stand along the red carpet as the stars arrived for the big event. I was super excited. It was a long day, but well worth the waiting in the intense heat amongst tons of other people. I ended up in a pretty good spot and saw some of my faves up close and personal.

It was honestly such an inspiration being there on the carpet across from the journalists who I hope to be someday. My dream would be to be on that side of the carpet, interviewing the stars, rather than just as a fan — but I'm definitely not complaining, I still had an amazing time!

Highlights from the carpet:
- Got a high-five from Robin Thicke
- Saw the legendary Daft Punk
- Breathed the same air as Pharrell
- Witnessed a moment between 2 Chainz and Richard Simmons

 In my element...seriously, I was so happy.

Ariana Grande is so adorable. She did a pre-show performance on the carpet. Have you heard her new album 'Yours Truly'?! She's actually so talented.

 2 Chainz & Richard Simmons - adorbs

 Rita Ora, stunning as always

 A$AP Rocky

 The one and only Lady Gaga. She had a huge entourage of paparazzi and it literally looked like the seas had parted as soon as she stepped on the carpet. It was madness, and everyone else sort've just moved to the side

 Robin Thicke

 Left: Modern Family's Sarah Hyland | Right: Glee's Darren Criss

 Left: Legendary T-Boz of TLC | Right: Macklemore

 Left: Daft Punk | Right: Jordin Sparks

 Drake reppin Canada

 Left: Jimmy Fallon | Right: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, sighhhhh

 Left: Selena Gomez | Right: Pharrell (sort've hidden, but he's there!)

Wow, what a night. Although I didn't get to be inside Barclays for the actual show, the red carpet experience was quite satisfying.

EVENT | A$AP Rocky hosts FA$HION KILLAH in Toronto

I swear, everything happens at the exact same time and is always conflicting with each other.

This week is both Canadian Music Week and Toronto Fashion Week - which is very inconvenient for someone like myself who would love to attend both. But this year, I'm focusing more on the music side. So when I came across this event that brought the two together, I jumped on the chance to attend.

As a part of CMW, Rihanna came to town and played two sold out shows this past Monday and Tuesday at the ACC. And she brought along A$AP Rocky - my fave.

On Monday night, following his performance opening up for RiRi, A$AP hosted a Toronto Fashion Week launch party at Maison Mercer, presented by The Coveteur, Thomas Neary and Belvedere Vodka.

I've been fortunate enough to see A$AP perform live twice (last year at Osheaga and this past February in NYC), so I was okay with going to an event where he was just going to be partying the night away.

Here's his song "Fashion Killa" for your enjoyment:

Check out my photos from the event:

He's just so cool.
