Boutiques On Wheels: The Future of Fashion

Wed, 15 May 2013 16:16:00 +0000

Imagine a beautiful, clear day, standing in front of a mirror, trying on a chic blouse in the dressing room of your favorite boutique. You hear birds singing a song and feel the sun kissing your skin through the window of that dressing room. Now imagine that your favorite boutique is actually a truck parked on one of the busiest streets in Los Angeles. This has actually become a reality for the fashion-forward shoppers of California, as well as for the owners of LA’s first official mobile boutique, Le Fashion Truck.

This reality was dreamed up by business partners Stacey Steffe and Jeanine Romo and began the association between fashion trucks and their company. They began their business venture after meeting at a LA arts and crafts market in 2010, and started Le Fashion Truck after knowing one another for only six months. Being the first official boutique truck in LA was a mixture of convenience and brilliance, as Steffe and Romo were seeking an easier way to transport their merchandise to different events. Tired of hauling their products in their cars, setting up booths, then taking them down each week at

At MBFW Australia this year, We Are Handsome blew audiences and press alike away once again with their fun and unique swimwear designs. Well-known "down under," for screening detailed images onto high-quality fabrics, with their S/S 2014 collection the Aussie brand has made a splash too big to ignore.

RUNWAY to Real Way - Macramé Inspirations from Versace

Tue, 02 Apr 2013 01:19:00 +0000

Let's face it; not all of us can spend $6,500+ on a single outfit, no matter how much we wish we could! Instead of lusting after almost impossible-to-attain runway items, factoring in your favorite haute couture styles on a budget can be a rewarding undertaking. We've picked out a few looks inspired by our favorites from Versace's S/S 2013 collection, and put together a convenient shopping guide at a quarter of the price or less!

The S/S 2013 collection by Versace screams warrior goddess with a big splash of feminine chic. The Medusa-head motif that accents almost every piece emphasizes the hypnotic power of a woman's look, which is what we feel the whole collection is really about. Donatella has been wowing us more and more every year, but this season her influence can definitely be felt reverberating onto other designers. Although there have been several attempts by major labels to popularize the Gladiator sandal-boot in recent years (Chanel Cruise 2007, S/S 2011), the trend didn't really catch on until it hit the catwalk last

Caroline Brooks is a name you may not be too familiar with now, but with a sound reminiscent of a female One Republic/edgier Sara Bareilles , this singer/songwriter is coming up fast in the music industry. With her new single, “Tomorrow, Tonight” out now on iTunes, along with the accompanying online video release, Brooks is on the rise to being a household name.

Congratulations on the new video & single! How exciting! We love the whole Bonnie & Clyde theme of the video. Why did you release Tomorrow, Tonight as your first single? Thank you! I'm very excited. Out of all my new songs, I think this one will connect to the most people. It's such a fun song to play live and I hope the same energy translates digitally. When I performed it onstage for the first time, my Facebook and Twitter inboxes started blowing up with fans saying that the chorus was still stuck in their head and they wanted to find out where they could buy
