shred white and blue

I know, amazing pun. We all know I'm not a patriot so I supplanted the red for shred. Enter my spankin' new boyfriend jeans and oversize blue flannel from Break Ice Trends. I originally intended to couple these pants with suede heels and a leather clutch purse, but on the way to the shooting location with my photographer I donned a pair of beat up white Keds for comfort. Then I saw my reflection in a mirror passing by and realized this, this walking from one place to the next, is the real subject of my vision as a blogger. The candid moments, not the staged glamour. So here's a real outfit for a real mission.

STUDDED ROSE

Remember that awesome rose t-shirt my artist friend Alex Krasky designed? I styled it a few months ago with slit leggings and a leather jacket. Tough look for a delicate top, so I added a little edge to give it that classic rock and roll vibe it was missing! Now it sports some quintessentially Bebe Zeva details -- a studded collar and cropped hem. Not only is the tee badass cute, it's for SALE! In three styles! The Classic, a regular tee with studs, the Crop, a regular tee with a short, midriff-baring hem, and the Crop Tank, a tee with a short hem and cut-off sleeves. You can place an order through my eBay store here. Supply is limited, so it's best to order one sooner than later. :-) Happy shoppin'!

Gray beanie - Dollar store
Wing-tip sunglasses - 80s Purple
Tattoo choker - THE COBRASHOP
Studded Rose Tee - For sale on my eBay store!
Overalls - Buffalo Exchange
Sneakers - Keds

I picked up these incredible velvet overalls from Buffalo Exchange over the summer. I've only owned one other pair of cropped overalls - a vintage denim set by Vigoss that I also found at Buffalo Exchange waaay back in 2009. And my opinion hasn't changed since the day I set my sights on 'em. In velvet or denim, they're SUPER practical (top + shorts and no belt needed) AND still a novelty. Hoping they won't become an oversaturated trend any time soon! ;)

Don't forget to place an order for a STUDDED ROSE tee by Alex Krasky!

MAGIC ROUND UP!

This August, I had the pleasure of attending my third WWD MAGIC summer tradeshow with Two Point Oh! LA. Without a doubt, this convention experience trumped all others. Discovering new brands, communicating with retailers, and sharing your industry perspective with an interactive audience is always a thrill – but when those moments are enjoyed in the presence of friends, new and old, they sublimate into memories so powerful that it’d defy reason to forget why the fashion community is such an incredible, creative force. It was a genuine privilege to have been invited to MAGIC as a digital influencer, representing the American fashion blogging community and bestowed the impressive responsibility of generating coverage throughout a medium bloggers know best: the internet. Between meeting an inspirational lot of women as empowered as they are stylish and introducing myself in the flesh to retailers like Pink and Pepper or Lucca Couture(with whom I’d only previously connected online!), I learned. Some girls expressed their concerns with blogger-brand relationships and others offered solutions. Some girls campaigned for their favorite fashion-forward social networking sites like Pinterest and Tumblr. Some girls, like me, encouraged others to get involved in the community by starting somewhere obvious, like Lookbook.nu. No matter what the topic of discussion was, knowledge ricocheted off the walls of the Convention Center and landed deep within the crevices of our inventive brains. Anyone who argues that the fashion industry is superficial and dry has clearly never attended MAGIC. Never in my life have I been surrounded by more brilliant businessmen and women in my life than in those three days. I extend my deepest and sincerest acclaims to the Two Point Oh! LA team and WWD MAGIC staff for making this adventure possible. And I’d like to especially offer everlasting gratitude to my –and the girls’ – “blogger Mama,” Kelsi Smith, who coordinated this ENTIRE collaboration. You are all so indescribably fated to be appreciated!

In the spirit of fond memories, here’s a collage of my MAGIC experience, as documented through Instagram.
