Fashion Features: Fedora Flair

Tuesday, May 31, 2011

I have so many wonderful friends who are into fashion, so I thought, "Why not feature them!" I am excited to introduce some of the fabulous fashionistas I call friends.

Meet Erica. 

This outgoing shoe lover has a unique style that revolves around her enormous, not to mention fabulous,  shoe collection. With more than sixty pairs of shoes, she usually puts an outfit together by choosing from her wide assortment of styles and colors.

However, this time, it wasn't all about the shoes for this fashionista.  Erica was inspired by another stylish accessory, the fedora. 


❝I was really inspired when I saw the fedora. To me, it has a vintage mood about it. I knew I wanted a menswear influenced look so I paired it with a black vest and my beloved BCBG pinstripped pumps. I cuffed my jeans to flow with the vintage ambience of the fedora. Plus I just love the look of cuffed jeans. I threw on a delightful new modcloth.com purchase called The Tools of the Trade necklace, which I feel adds to the tomboy vibe. I love this look because of the eclectic nature of it, I feel uniquely me in it. I've never really loved patterns so I stuck with solid colors to stay true to my style. That's also why I went with a dark wash skinny jeans. 9 out of 10 times thats what I'm wearing! Additionally I love the versitality of this outfit. You could pair it with a million different shoes and color combos to create a completely transformed look!❞ - Erica C.


Love your look Erica, from head to toe! Thanks for sharing and hope you all enjoy xx

Remember, fashion is fun. It is uniquely you ♥

Walking down the graduation runway

Monday, December 6, 2010

By Jody Marich 

Today I was talking to one of my dear friends, Jill,  about having blogger's block. I told her I just couldn't get out of the funk I have been in. Maybe it's because I am graduating from college and have SO many other things on my mind. Whatever it is/ was she helped me come up with a brilliant idea for anyone who is graduating this December or anytime for that matter.

What to wear to graduation?

First and foremost, I think it depends on what type of school it is. If it is a public, state school or college, the dress code can be a little more lenient. 

Attending Flagler College, a private school, my dress code mandatory. If we don't follow the rules, we don't get to walk:
"DRESS FOR COMMENCEMENT: Men are to wear a dress shirt (preferable white) and tie, dark slacks, and dress shoes. Women are to wear a dress or dark dress slacks/skirt and blouse, and dress shoes. Students not adhering to this dress code, will not be allowed to participate in the Commencement Ceremony. Caps and Gowns must be ordered by the graduate with Jostens, Inc. at www.jostens.com or with a Jostens rep on campus on various advertised days . They will be delivered to the college for pickup during Graduation Clearance Week."- Flagler College website.

Remember, always to factor in:
❤weather- check the 10 day forecast to see if it's going to be cold, hot, or rainy, in case you have to make changes.
❤where the ceremony takes place- is it inside or outside? That should always be in the back of your mind when choosing what to wear.
❤what color your gown is - you don't want clothing to show through.


You want to look professional and polished, since you are officially moving into the "real world." Just remember the acronym: KISS - Keep it simple, sexy - I replaced stupid with sexy because this is your day to shine!

With all of this said, here are a few different choices on how to look perfect for you "graduation runway" debut. 

Miso One Shoulder Dress
30 GBP - republic.co.uk
One shoulder dress »



Faux Patent Wallet
$9.80 - canada.forever21.com
Wallets »

$2.99 - scrapbook.com


With this outfit, you could put the shirt and sweater together or just pick one piece to wear.

For each outfit, I chose a pair of flats and heels. If you wear heels be careful. You want to have something comfortable, so you can walk in them, maybe even do a little practice walk before hand.

These are just some outfits that could work for the big walk but a few things to remember when shopping is:
❤Find something that is versatile- something you can be comfortable in for the ceremony and then take pictures in afterwards, even go out for a celebratory meal in. 
❤Choose a piece or outfit that won't look weird under your gown- you don't want a dress giving you a strange figure (even though the gown usually makes us look like we are wearing a potato sack!)
❤Keep jewelry to a minimum- one or two little pieces works but like I said, keep it simple, there's nothing like getting an earring caught in your tassel or bangles jingling. 
❤Keep your ceremony venue in mind-  you don't want crazy shoes that sink into the grass or uncomfortable fabrics bringing you down. 
❤Remember, this is your big day. It's a day to celebrate with family and friends. Don't wear something that will make you feel uncomfortable around these people. 

With graduation comes a whole new chapter in life. It's a time to celebrate your achievements with the ones you love. The biggest thing to remember is HAVE FUN! This is your day to shine. Walk with pride and be the little superstar that you are. 

Congrats to all that are graduating! I know I'm excited about it!

Photos and Writing by Jody Marich
It's my last semester at Flagler college. I am a communication major and I am taking photojournalism. Our most recent assignment was fashion photography. My vision was created by a skirt that I purchased from Urban Outfitters. The skirt gave me my inspiration for a vintage inspired photoshoot with model, Miranda Hall.

Living in St. Augustine, the oldest city in the country, allowed me to choose from a variety of great scenic spots. The train tracks were the perfect choice. 
Enjoy! X

Be the Buyer

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

ModCloth, a vintage e-retailer, has come up with a brilliant idea.

The online vintage clothing store has let the customers be the voice of new clothing. With samples displayed on the website, customers can comment on how they like a piece.

Started back in October of last year, the new approach is getting a lot of attention. While most online stores don't interact with customers, ModCloth welcomes opinions.

HOW IT WORKS:
1. An item is shown. Then customers are asked if ModCloth should carry the piece. The customers vote.

2. If you like an item, Promote it.... share it on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.

3. Leave comments and advice.

If a piece gets enough votes, it will become a ModCloth product.
This super cute dress was just picked: so adorable and one of my personal favorites!
(ModCloth new addition)

ModCloth uses visitors fashion advice to improve buying decisions. It has created a community for people who have a common interest.

With user experience improving, this new crowdsourcing technique is creating a whole new way to shop the web.

Check out ModCloth and help them better serve the fashionistas out there.

Remember fashion is fun, it is uniquely you!
