Fashion and technology are continually becoming more and more mutually exclusive. Ringly, Fitbit, the iWatch, anyone? This hasn’t always been the case. Apple’s chief design officer Jonathan Ive said during the Manus x Machina preview, “Far from being mutually exclusive luxuries, technology and craft are of course not at odds, and much like beauty and utility, go hand in hand — all the more powerful combination.”

I was so excited to see how fashion and hi-tech came together at the Met Gala’s Manus x Machina (“hand x machine”) as the immersion of fashion and hi-tech continues to become more and more mainstream. 

My best dressed picks were chosen based on the above criteria. I love the 3D printed flowers on Allison Williams’ Peter Pilotto gown, and the metallic robotic looking gown by Balmain on Kim Kardashian. Kate Hudson’s dress is totally the bridal gown of the future – can’t you see brides wearing something similar 10 years from now?

Now onto my absolute FAVORITE of the night…

 Claire Danes in Zac Posen.
Claire Danes in Zac Posen.

YES, YES, SO MUCH YES! Claire Danes’ Zac Posen gown was perfection and embodied the theme absolutely perfectly. She was literally Cinderella.

The gown was hand-sewn, crafted from custom-made Gossamer fabric, LED lights, and 30 battery packs. Six people made the gown (unfortunately not Gus, Jaq, Major, Bruno, or a fairy Godmother), and it took 600 HOURS to make. Zac Posen said, “I’m interested in that place, where the past and future meet, because that’s universal and that hits a chord around the world…just recognizing beauty and a magic moment between fantasy and technology.”

And some more photos because the dress is so freaking beautiful…

Un.Freaking.Believable. I have to say that this is the most incredible dress I have ever seen.

From robotic metallics to 3D printing to enchanting dresses using LED lights, the 2016 Met Gala’s red carpet proves just how seamlessly fashion and tech can come together to create a masterpiece. 

What was your favorite look of the night?

a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritu a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritual:

1. experimenting with what you wear can help you see yourself in a different way & provokes inspiration.
2. Getting dressed in the morning is a way to have fun by expressing your beautiful soul for everyone to see. 
3. when you feel confident in what you’re wearing, you FEEL good.

my style evolution: I used to wear a lot of black & shunned expressing my femininity with the clothes that I wore because I was following trends. NO MORE. now: give me all the feminine LEWKS and colors 🌈

During the first few months of my Z’s life, my body & soul felt burnt out. looking back, it was hard (and still is!) to prioritize just taking a few deep breaths each day. totally not trying to sound dramatic like so many Oprah IG captions 🤣 but it’s the truth.

during a meditation session recently, my intuition called out and invited me to reconnect with my feminine side. I realized I had abandoned much of this ‘side’. this is where the journey of activating my divine feminine energy began for me.  I’ll be sharing bits of my re-discovery here in hopes it will help you overcome the same and step in to your wholeness. 🤍

by wholeness, I mean not DOING IT ALL. being intentional & redefining the feminine experience. 

some of the words I have reclaimed include…

emotional, ease, wild, & healing 

do you have words to describe your feminine energy?

one year ago ✨8 months pregnant & we’d just mo one year ago ✨8 months pregnant & we’d just moved from CA to AZ 🌵…& it was one of the best things we’ve ever done. 

reflecting back on the past year has put into perspective how critical taking the leap and moving to a new place has been for my personal growth and development, and if you’re thinking about moving, this is your sign to do it!

the change of environment has been SO beyond magical for many reasons…it’s taken me out of my comfort zone, given so many new and exciting experiences, and expanded social connections. 

🤍10/10 recommend, even when you’re super pregnant 😜

Even with other clean products, my scalp was not happy and it’s such a relief to find a product that WORKS that isn’t medicated or full of crap ingredients. so excited to share with y’all as I have always shared my scalp/hair journey and finally feel like my scalp is THRIVING 💖

this look is one of my faves as it doesn’t take much time and it shows off my natural hair texture.
