Style: Such a Tees

On my way to Fountain Square to take a break from working (and working and working) on the upcoming issue of Style Sample Magazine. I decided to wear my new Nati Evolvement tee (thanks guys!) with a stretchy cotton pencil skirt and the high-heeled ugly-but-cool booties to sex it up a bit. After adding a print scarf and a casually tipped beret, I was ready for some Graeter's ice cream*! It's a really easy look to...

Inspiration: Vuitton Blushes in the Nude

Though it's almost the complete opposite of the fierce Xena Takes Manhattan looks we saw on the Fall runways, I was drawn to this softly feminine ensemble at Louis Vuitton. By using draping and ruching instead of ruffles and frills, toning down candy-sweet shades of pink with neutral beige, and adding glossy black accents via accessories, it's a modern take on femme fatale that's easy to duplicate: 1.

Style: Trailer Chic

After wasting spending time watching reruns of My Name is Earl on Hulu, I was inspired to dress like Jamie Pressly's character who, let's be honest, is a l'il trashy. Trashy can be fun when it's done right, though! Let's take a look at some of the key elements: 1 & 2 "A-line" Tank top Shown: American Apparel 2. Hanes To keep it simple, go for the ol' standby classic: a ribbed cotton wifebeater. If you...

Interview with: Nati Evolvement (Part 2)

We talked about the design process and product line from Nati Evolvement in Part 1 of the interview. Now it's time to find out who's buying their stuff and what else the guys are up to. Who's a Nati? So who's buying Nati Evolvement gear (and getting the possibly naughty notes)? People all across the country and around the world who wear Nati on their sleeve as an outward display of their pride for their hometown. "It's amazing...
