Gone Camping

August 20, 2008

Off Camping for an extended weekend.. definitely no wireless.. so catch up with you all on Monday!

She is incredibly unique. She says she “found her love for reconstruction design at a early age, as her mother was a seamstress” and to this day she says her “mother and she still reconstruct the pieces she finds and they look forward to opening a boutique together”. (That is a shop I would like to visit!)

Her fabulous hair seems to be a signature as well as bright colors and bold print choices. She is one to watch.. our Society Girl of the Week..

Wear Them Over and Over

August 20, 2008

After talking about them, seeing them, and searching for them.. I finally found MY very own pair of BOYFRIEND JEANS! I didn’t want to dish out loads of cash for girl designed boyfriend jeans and I didn’t want to dish a bit less cash for real boy jeans from a real boy store.. so I did what I do - I went thrift store hopping.

Finally after a few attempts I found the perfect pair, and they cost me a whopping $10! Now they are ready to be worn over and over and over…

Instant Outfit: Lace Tights

August 19, 2008

Lace is everywhere - on dresses, skirts and TIGHTS! Lace tights are perfect for any Society Girl, the girl in the office, the girl downtown at the art show, the girl jet-setting here and there, and the girl at the flea markets. Lace tights are an alternate to the Fall season favorite - opaque tights.

Mad About Plaid

August 18, 2008

My memories of plaid go back to the old days. Standing in my childhood home decked out in Osh Kosh overalls with a red and black plaid shirt underneath, slightly farmer and ready to romp about in the backyard.

The middle school years, when grunge was at its best - boy t-shirts, baggy high waisted jeans and of course the oversized plaid shirt left unbuttoned and loose.

In more recent years, it seems every fall turns out plaid - always with a different twist. This coming season plaid is everywhere in all shapes and sizes - go bold with crazy mix of colors or traditional in a county-girl manner.

Fashion is Everywhere

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”

Emmy & Ivy

August 18, 2008

Every Society Girl could use more frosting.. and by frosting I mean stand-out accessories! Dressing up may be considered a childhood pastime, but Society Girls around the globe know otherwise.. there will always be time to dress up. Sometimes dressing up is throwing on one fabulous layer after another, twirling around in a drop-dead dress.. or in this case - showering yourself in bows, barretts and gobs of jewelry.

A little shop, known as Emmy & Ivy appreciate the art of dressing up and they are supplying Society Girls with all the frosting they need. With loads of vintage inspired cocktail rings, barretts and hair jewels, a girl could frost herself over and over… I know I did!

So why not get caught up in the creations of Jackie Ostrowicki and Sarah McCurley  and their little shop Emmy & Ivy!

She comes from two amazing musical artists and has a rockin’ step-mom (Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani). With all this bohemian blood, she was destined to create something beautiful. She has a style that has no boundaries. There are no rules, no tradition - just pure and simple raw style.
