New York Times-Fashion & Style

I made it to the NY Times Fashion & style section!

It's a piece on social fashion sites, which as you can guess I am a member of a few. I was using one in particular on my wedding dress hunt and it was documented in the NYT. Check it out!

New York Times- "You made me wear This"

Some tid bits from the article:

"Buying jeans is one thing. A wedding dress is another. Ariella Adika, 28, a fashion creative director who lives in Edgewater, N.J., goes on Fashism several times a week, especially on her shopping trips. “If I’m in a store, I will wait to hear what people have to say,” she said.

When it came time to pick a wedding dress, she took no chances. With the help of her mother and sister, Ms. Adika found a $3,000 ivory floor-length gown by Dominique Daniela at a boutique in New Hope, Pa. It had large origami folds and a black sash that tied around her waist.

She loved it, but was understandably nervous, so she snapped a photo at the bridal store and turned to her friends on Fashism. Nearly everyone thought the origami folds seemed too heavy for her small frame. “You’re not wearing the dress, the dress is wearing you,” a poster, tianaco, wrote.

Ms. Adika took their advice and found a second dress at Modern Trousseau, a boutique in Manhattan in the same building where she and her husband run a fashion showroom. The new dress was also ivory, but instead of floor-length with dramatic folds, it had a pleated bodice with a rose-embroidered A-line skirt.

It was perfect, she thought. In fact, she didn’t need a second opinion, and plans to walk the aisle in it."

Motel Rocks... Rocks my World... Scwing!

I came across an awesome brand.. And it's such a treasure it's hard for me to share!

But I must share the good word of Fashion.. soooo here we go. Motel Rocks is an amazing brand based out of the UK. So far I have bought 4 dresses from them, they all fit perfectly, look amazing on, and I have not seem anything like them around here.. & I live in NYC the mecca of fashion.

They were doing the floral print and front zipper dress before those styles made their recent comeback here in the US. I just got a look at their latest collection and it doesn’t disappoint. It’s funky, fun, and definitely colorful. If you love catching people’s eye, check these out:

Model Scout on the Gene Search?

Model Scouts Find More Than Half of Brazil’s Hotties in a Tiny Region Containing Its Whitest Population

Model scouts in Brazil are looking for the next Gisele Bündchen. They have figured out that the genes of girls who look like a model in the way she does — with light skin, light hair, and tall, naturally thin figures — come from German and Italian ancestry and may also have a dash of Slavic blood. While more than half of Brazil's population isn't white, more than half of Brazil's models are scouted in a southern rural region comprising about one-twentieth of the nation's population. Gisele and Alessandra Ambrosio, who were discovered at 13 and 12 respectively, come from these parts.

The region is proud of its reputation for hotness. But Brazil as a whole — more than half of which is black — is also proud of its hotness. Frustrations have emerged over the world not recognizing all of Brazil's skin tones as beautiful. While Brazilians embrace beauties with darker skin, the fashion industry in the rest of the world gravitates toward paler Brazilian models.

“I was always perplexed that Brazil was never able to export a Naomi Campbell, and it is definitely not because of a lack of pretty women,” said Erika Palomino, a fashion consultant in São Paulo. “It is embarrassing.”

Scouts have begun looking in darker-skinned regions, but they have a long way to go. Prosecutors recently forced São Paulo Fashion Week to make sure that at least 10 percent of its models were of African or indigenous decent. In 2008, 28 of the 1,128 models in the event weren't white.

For Men... Fashion on a Budget.. or 'Booojay'

I have been neglecting men lately.. you know on the blog ;)

So here is a a few tips on Dressing for less... (These tips can actually be used for both Men & Women!) Dressing well doesn't have to mean spending a fortune. It's about combining old-school know-how (Yeah, you better have a skilled tailor) with the realization that there are now more affordable style-centric stores than ever. Here's where—and how—to shop, the items you should always buy for less, and the 10 rules that will make you a better-dressed, more cost-conscious man..

1. Taste is more important than money.

2. That's not to say you shouldn't invest in your clothes. But men with real style know when to splurge—and where to save.

3. Start at the best of the low-cost, high-style stores.
Big-name shops like H&M, J.Crew, and Uniqlo have never been so packed with legitimately cool stuff for men. But remember: Wear these labels your way; it's all about how you mix, match, and style the clothes.

4. Beware of overpriced Sample Sales.
These fashion-showroom free-for-alls are a great place to spy pretty women half undressed. wooo-hoo! But if you buy some high-fashion leftover at 70% off and you never end up wearing it, you're not actually saving money. You're wasting it. Unless you get a hell of a deal and you actually love the brand... then your money was put in the right place!

5. Speaking of sales, learn to navigate the outlet mall.
If you follow the money, it's clear that more shoppers than ever have become hip to the factory-outlet mall. At the end of 2009, U.S. outlet sales totaled $20 billion! Learn to Dig my friend!

6. Sometimes improving your look doesn't require buying anything new at all. It's about taking care of what's already in your closet. Clean out, re-organize, and you never know what is hidden in there that you haven't worn in 8 months... a new outfit!

7. Buy vintage without losing your shirt.

1. No matter how cool and cheap that leather jacket might be, if it's too big, don't buy it.

2. Certain brands increase in value as they age: Classic-era Levi's, Vuarnet, old-school Nike, supply-store-era Abercrombie & Fitch, and The North Face.

3. Unless you play in Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (and like wearing your trousers up by your belly button), think twice about those cool sharkskin suits from the '50s and '60s.

4. If it looks too stained to wear off the rack, don't buy it. Rather than making that splotch of Ragú sauce from 1978 disappear, dry cleaning usually destroys the garment at the point of the stain.
5. Leather boots, flannels, and dress shirts with monogrammed initials (that aren't yours) are all excellent candidates for vintage. Western-style shirts, however, should be left behind. They're always cut long, to be tucked in. But these days, the only guys who tuck in western shirts are professional bull riders.

8. Shopping online can be a time- suck. Know where the deals are.

10. There's a whole year of savings out there. Learn when to take advantage.
The difference between paying full price and half-off all depends on when you walk into a store. You could be talking about a nationwide chain like Saks or a cool-kid emporium like Ron Herman in L.A. Hit sales right when they start and you can snag the best gear before it's off the shelves
