Aviators

I'm not even going to to begin to rant about who should and shouldn't wear these, but this summer aviators are probably the hottest sun glasses to wear. The only problem are those who choose wear them anyhow? Anyhow you ask? As in it doesn't suit the shape of your face, frames are wrong, colours of frames etc. They're like jeans they have to fit right and look right if not you look silly.

I decided to become a fan of them on Facebook and look at photos people posted and pin point what I didn't like.


These are really nice but the lenses are too big for her face and although the whole point of aviators are to hide a fraction of your cheek bones, these cover way too much, She looks like a fly. Smaller lenses please !

Now these are an example of how to look great in them the colour of her lenses match her outfit. I love the silver frames too. it doesn't hide too much of her face, but just enough.


These aviators look great but for a female, they re too small for his face, so it looks slightly weird.

These are probably the ugliest aviators Ive ever seen. I don't like the fact that both the lenses and frames are black and have a weird shape. NEXT.

Hi there....

My name's Joanne Flovella & this is my first time posting on the R.I.S.E. =) I'm currently a film student in Miami with dreams of becoming a celebrated director/actress/writer. I adore everything about film & what goes into making one; I'm also super passionate about the art of music & music videos. Anyhoo on to my first post ---> these are films that I feel everyone should see at least once:

1994: stars Natalie Portman (my favorite actress) in her first movie and Jean Reno in this dark but gorgeous film by Luc Besson. One of my favorite movie, it will leave you breathless & wanting more.

2004: Stars Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman. It's a sexy, intriguing, grown-up drama. You don't get a lot of that nowadays.

1982: Features Richard Gere in his younger days. I saw this in a class last year. Many of my classmates did not like it but I quite enjoyed it. I highly recommend it if you like coming-of-age stories.

1974: This is one of the reasons I will always love Mel Brooks! It's a horror/comedy spoof done right.

2009: A phenomenal science fiction film for all those sci-fi buffs out there like myself. Very poignant.

2002: DO NOT let the cheesy poster fool you: this movie is a thrilling & scary ride from start to finish, one of those keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat films.

2005: From Neil Marshall, the same director that did Dog Soldiers. Another one of my favorite films. A top-notch psychological horror film; this is where women are the ones doing the butt-kicking =)

And last but certainly not least:

2002: Hands down my favorite movie of all time. Nominated for 4 Oscars but didn't even win one, which I find stunning. This is THE film that pushed my dream of being an actress & director over the top. I remember thinking about this movie 3 or 4 days after I watch it. It's rare that a movie does that to me. It's got elements of dark comedy, tragedy, hope....... I tell everyone I know to watch this film. Watch this movie!!!

There are many more movies I want to post about but I'd go on forever so I think for now this is enough lol.

20 Years Strong:Today is my birthday thank God for these past Twenty years!!

Beyonce Inspired Dress Made by Me

So I already had the material and saw this dress beyonce had not many people liked it so i switched it up. What do you think?

Denim MUST haves this spring/summer

It could be a denim biker jacket, to a blouse or a skirt or even a shirt. Either way one of these need to be in your wardrobe. It doesn't even have to be new. When i felt the return of "All denim everything" this season I rushed to my mothers room to see if she had any throwback denim clothes and she did. Vintage? I suppose, as long as it looks good.

This was similar to what I found in my mums wardrobe but a bit darker, like Alexa Chung's above.
Dorothy Perkins £28

This was purchased by myself a month ago. I bought it for
£25 from New Look a little less on my student discount card, Looks great with pretty much anything, especially a long baggy plaid shirt.

These are both from TopShop and are for those who are petite. Keyword there PETITE. So please, if you have hips like mine keep out!

Denim jeans you can make yourself! The pair of jeans can easily be made using a blade this is to make the torn holes. Other pieces of old denim material should also be used to make a more of "DIY" look. Stitch them on different parts of the legs using either using a machine if you have one or neatly sew it on using dark brown or black thread. These consists of different shades of blue embedded on to these pair of jeans, so go crazy!


Denim cut offs are also something which you can do yourself, so go dig out old pair of jeans you don't wear anymore and create something new. Simply get a pair of scissors and a marker to measure how short you want it. After you've cut it to suit you fold the bottom by 2cm. Turn it inside out and iron it so the crease stays. If you don't want to have it folded up, grab a blade and and carefully as you can cut around so it has more of a stringy denim look.

Rethink Type

While reviewing my work, my teacher told me that I need to rethink my type. Aparrently, my type(fonts) choices were not thought out all the way. My line breaks and type treatment also needed some work as well. I'm going to try to to take a indepth look into my type design. I'm looking at Veer.com, Typography.com, and youworkforthem.com. As designers, sometimes we under estimate the power of type. But essentially its the part of your work that communicates directly to your viewer most.So ladies and gentleman whatever you do dont be like me, RETHINK TYPE!
