Look of the Day: Checkered Mod

Posted on by

k150_23SZDheel iconI love the ‘60s and mod/ska fashions, which consists of a lot of black and white in bold prints of stripes and checks. This playful, rockin’ look has become quite a trend in women’s fashion at the moment. This checkered shift dress is comfy and makes a big statement partnered with a pop of orange with a vintage chiffon scarf and a fun purse made from old 45 records.

I got my purse from a market in Buenos Aires from a lady who makes them herself, but you can find similar handbags on Ebay. I finished the look with a rhinestone cat collar bracelet and pair of side zip ankle boots.  See the links below or click the pix to shop* the look:

Get the Look: Spikes

Posted on by

k150_23SZDheel iconSpikes were all the rage at LA Fashion Week recently so there’s no doubt this accessory, once reserved for shockingly dressed punk rockers,  is becoming a staple in women’s fashion. Spikes can be seen on jackets, dresses, handbags, jewelry, even shoes. So be careful next time you hug someone – they might be rockin’ this dangerous look!

Check out some of the spiky options below. Click the image to purchase.* They make a great holiday gift for that fashionista on your list!

Disco K’s ’70s Fashion Ebay Haul!

Posted on by stilettocity

k150_23SZDheel iconShe’s BAAAAACK! We met my disco doppelganger, Kassandra, aka Disco K. at a Halloween party (wink, wink) and she’s become a regular guest in Stiletto City (and apparently on my couch!) While I’ve been out, she’s clearly been spending much of her time shopping on Ebay for ’70s fashion treasures that take her back to her Studio 54 heyday. Check her out as she spoofs the popular “HOLLLLL” videos:

You can shop* like Disco K. by searching Ebay for vintage ’70s treasures:

It’s Movember: Do You Have Your Mustache On?

Posted on by

k150_23SZDheel iconHappy Movember! That’s mustache-November in case you were wondering, a movement for men start growing some serious facial hair to raise awareness of men’s health issues including prostate and testicular cancer and mental health challenges.

I became all too aware of prostate cancer while my father battled it – twice! Fortunately, through catching it early and the advances in medical treatment, he survived and is doing well.

So while us ladies can’t exactly grow a mustache for the movement, we can join in the Movember spirit with mustache accessories like the ones below.

Click the photos to purchase.* Proceeds go to the Movember Foundation. Also check out the Movember shop.

Oh and be supportive of your man as he grows out his ‘stache. Yes, it prickles when you kiss him and it may look a little funny, but it’s all for a good cause!

To read more about the Movember movement, visit the website.

And now I must-tache!

LA Fashion Week 2013: My Three Top Picks

Posted on by

k150_23SZDheel iconLA Fashion Week has been happening all over Tinsel Town this week with fashion shows from Downtown to Hollywood. My dance card has been rather full trying to hit as many events as possible to check some well-known and emerging designers. Lots of women’s fashion ideas for Spring/Summer 2014. Each event has been its own creative feast for the eyes and I must say the people watching in the audience has been almost as entertaining. The fashion crowd knows how to pull out some style! I saw a lot of bling, stilettos and general “bring it” attitude. A nice change from going out and seeing people in flip-flops and track suits (which pains my eyes!)

Most of the shows have featured several designer showcases back to back and few music acts and performance artists to mix things up. While some fashion collections I was admittedly underwhelmed by, three stood out to me for ultra unique silhouettes, interesting cuts, use of textures and patterns. And of course, my picks all seem to have a little retro influence (what can I say, I love that!) but use it in very modern, wearable ways.

My favorites included:

Stay stylish,

Get the Look: Modcloth’s Myrtlewood!

Posted on by

k150_23SZDModcloth, the brand known for their vintage inspired fashion, just launched two NEW private labels of women’s clothing! Today, I styled a look around Myrtlewood, which offers feminine, classic pieces that will always be in style as other trends come and go. Great for date nights or an elegant work day look.

Here’s how to style a look around a Myrtlewood dress from Modcloth:

The lovely floral print “Flaunt Every Facet” dress* will give you a ladylike flair paired with vintage-style emerald jewel earrings*. A ring of laurel leaves* picks up on the floral theme, as the mock book clutch purse* shows off your love of romantic literature. Black, suede, t-strap, 3 1/2 height heels* complete the look.

The Social Scene and Street Fashion of Social Media Week LA 2013

Posted on by Cider House Media

k150_23SZDheel iconIf you love social media like I do, a whole week of discussions, Tweeting, Facebooking and Instagraming with like-minds is like being dropped in a little connected oasis. And that’s just what happened when a major digital marketing conference descended on the westside of Los Angeles. See what happened when I checked out the social scene and street fashion of Social Media Week LA 2013

 

The Social Scene of Social Media Week

Most of the events took place at ROC’s collaborative workspace headquarters in Santa Monica as hundreds of mobile-device-carrying social enthusiasts went from panel discussions to masterclasses to parties. I attended every day and got a headful of ideas to take back to my social media efforts for world domination!

Celebrity Faces of Social Media Week

Of course, some of my favorite events included those focused on the ever-exploding online opportunities in fashion and beauty online including:

  • Rodger Berman CEO (and husband) of Rachel Zoe on the transformation and disruption of the fashion biz with the mega success of Rachel Zoe, Inc.
  • A panel featuring blogger Aimee Song, websites WhoWhatWear, StyleHaul and brands BeachMint, ShoeDazzle  and Junk Food Clothing on who’s winning when it comes to brand marketing promotion – celebrities or bloggers. Answer: the bloggers!
  • A chat with Michelle Phan, one of the best known beauty bloggers out there, discussing her career and the launch of her new cosmetics line “Em.” Plus, even more projects she has in the works!

As a journalist turned blogger, I was also excited to see one of my favorite interviewers, Larry King, interviewing Star Trek star turned social media icon George Takei.

The Street Fashion of Social Media Week

I also hit a fashion and beauty soiree where a roomful of fashionistas flaunted their best outfits and learned how to grow their presence online. See my previous blog post. I had good time style spotting all week. Here are some of the fashionable folks caught on the Stiletto-cam!

I loved having the opportunity to meet all the people at all the parties. And of course, I had lots of fun planning my daily outfits!

1. Dress by Clever Vintage, 2. Pants by PinupGirlClothing 3. Dress by Forever 21. All clothing purchased by the author.

Plus, I was excited to discover so many amazing companies who are doing so much with content creation on the web. You were nothing short of inspiring – and I’ll be contacting you! I see some partnerships in my future!

As I gear up to build up this blog and relaunch my YouTube channel (stay tuned for details!) I’m thrilled at the possibilities that await. Stay tuned. I have lots in store for you.

Thanks Social Media Week for the fun and inspiration!
