I love hump days! It's the middle of the week and a great benchmark to see what has been worked on and what can still be done with a few days ahead! As Editor in Chief of Kitten Lounge, I get an amazing opportunity to see a lot of great products and to interact with so many great showrooms, brands, designers and so much more. While in Vegas in August, I was so happy to meet Casey of Hudson Jeans (she does their Social Media and various elements of marketing) and to walk with her at ENK Shows Vegas. With so many days hitting all the shows, I started to embrace my love for the maxi dress, Ted Rossi cuffs (I never travel without a number of them), large cocktail ring and of course a cute necklace. It's the act of styling a simple look to show my personality and to present an effortless look whether I'm walking the red carpet, tradeshows, showrooms or wherever I happen to be! I'm obsessed with accessories and I love large pieces. I brought a little of a boho-chic Grecian vibe to everyday that I was at the shows (you would too if it was 100 degrees). As I walked around people asked if I styled (especially when I told them I had just completed an episode of the reality show, To Be a Star, where I was the Style Mentor/Judge for aspiring models who were learning about the importance of having a look. Although I have worked with a select group of people, work with a few showrooms in the city and have been called in on a photoshoot - it wasn't something that I really thought I was doing. But the fact of the matter is that there is no better reward than showing someone how they can take elements of their style and add to it to create an enhanced look! If you're a busy individual who loves the idea of working with someone with great relationships of designers that you may not be familiar with, want to embrace accessories (I feel that they are the outfit) and love seeing your style progression, then feel free to contact me as I would love to work with you! So the answer is yes, I'm an Editor and Stylist!
Today's spread has a lot going on in but it's serving as my personal check list and as always, you can click the links to see more about the pieces that I have selected. On Sat, I celebrated my 30th birthday and I'm actually in the Parker Ruffle Racer Top (you'll also see it in my reality episode as well which comes out later this fall) which is definitely a great staple year around but I love the idea that as the weather gets cooler, I can throw a blazer on! The cord blazer is a must in my wardrobe I love the texture and I love the details of it as well! I have a black blazer that has been so handy when I needed to round out my look. When it comes to boots, I tend to go for the over knee but every now and then I like a bootie and these are perfect. I have a few pairs of Colin Stuarts within my closet and I definitely want to check these off my list! I just got a new bag for the season and it is in fact the Prudence from Cole Haan! I love that it has a slender look but still holds my Jimmy Choo wallet, Flip, Blackberry, etc and the leather details - AMAZING! Finally, we have the Hudson Legging Jean, I don't have these yet but when I hung out with Casey, Hudson Jeans New Media & PR Coordinator at Hudson, (you can see a pic of her and I on the press page) in Vegas at the ENK Show, she was wearing them and looked stunning - so I need to get them! Of course I'm wearing a fab pair of Hudsons now that I have not been able to stop wearing for awhile now! Together this look can be worn to be very chic whether I'm at the runways, in the showrooms or just running around. Apart, they become great staples that will help in building your fall wardrobe! What are your key pieces for fall and how are you going to make it all come together?
Before I even got here, I had a few people on my list that I wanted to see and one of them was Hudson Jeans which is showing at ENK Shows at the Wynn. Now the first thing is that I didn't know a lot about them until a friend of mine (who worked with them at one time) introduced me to some people at a party they threw in Vegas in Feb 2008. Everytime I complained about not getting the perfect jean and the fact that I had a small waist but a bigger bootie that made it difficult, he kept saying you have to get Hudsons. Then, I got my first pair last spring and wore them so much that it was a tearful departure when we had to part ways. Lets speed it up to the present when I needed the perfect jean to wear for my reality show taping, only one jean represented cool, chic and casual and I was so pleased to receive an awesome pair that worked well with heels. So I knew when I came to Vegas, I had to check out the booth and Casey, their Social Media PR person (let me say that they get the world of social and that I can't wait to continue to expand my denim knowledge and working them into the spreads that you guys love so much) walked me through the line and we even hit the ENK Show floor to look at fab pairings! She happened to have on the the Legging Jean. Now I know there has been much debate about this pair of jeans but let me say that after seeing them in person I thought it was denim but the fact that you have the great denim look, their signature 2 buttons, the classic flap that gives all booties that perfect look and the perfect fit, this is something that we should all have in our closets. Expect to hear a lot more from Hudson as they have definitely stepped up their presence with the addition of making Georgia Jagger the face of the brand. Casey and I hit the floor and saw a great shirt company that many of the celebs have been seen in - LnA Clothing. I love that these are simple tees that really provide a dynamic look. The Side Tail Tee is something that I am loving. It comes in a tank or a tee and what better shirt to pair with your jeans? Of course when it comes to an awesome shoe, I have to say that Jimmy Choo is my go to pair. Now they were not at the show but if you were wearing this to go out for a night with the girls or a very cool event, the Kurt would be your shoe. I love that it's suede and embossed leather and lets the rocker chick in you come out. As always the links above can be clicked on so that you can grab fab pieces to create your look! Just another day at the shows in Vegas!
