So Revolve is on the "hunt for Chictopia's fresh faces and talent" to star in their upcoming Summer Style Guide and I decided to submit an entry. I know I'm no Naomi Campbell but I am a normal girl, just like you, and would very much like to represent us in their campaign. The winners will be selected by Chictopia members so I encourage those of you who are members to go and vote not for the prettiest girl or who has on the nicest designer clothes, but the girl(s) who best represent you. 

REVOLVE Spring Style Must Have Item 

What is your must-have REVOLVE item for spring, and how would you style it? I've certainly been eying the N.Y.L.A. Pura Buckle Sandals in black for spring. The utilitarian look is most certainly in for spring/summer 2010 though I'd probably carry the sandals well into the indian summer. Insofar as styling, being the easy going basicbasic girl that I am, I'd probably just throw them on with a deconstructed, loose-fitting t-shirt, denim cut-offs and loads of bracelets and rings, all of which, in the gold persuasion.

Before Brunch @ Alice + Olivia

I didn't have time to be bummed out about missing Rebecca Minkoff, Geren Ford and the Fashionista 2.0 Awards -- I had to hit the ground running. And on no sleep after securing the first red-eye into New York, I wanted to make the most of my time. since my schedule was in near complete disarray. We got a little turned around and missed the Vena Cava show [major bummer] but managed to get snagged for fashion interviews by AOL's Stylelist. You can check out the interviews of both myself and Lauren here. Since we had some time to kill before our next presentation, we decided to pop in our favorite midtown east shop, Alice + Olivia.

Spring Summer Feeling: Introducing Tolani Collection

I'm a little bummed out because all flights to New York have been canceled due to the snowstorm currently pounding the northeast. So, while Lauren is busy enjoying Rebecca Minkoff, Geren Ford, and others, I am stuck here, soaking up the sunshine and praying for a red-eye to hell. To pass the time, I've been admiring the new clothing line from one of my favorite scarf makers Tolani.

I'm sure you all recall the scarf craze that started around the summer of '07, thanks to the Olsens. It began first with the "middle eastern patterned" black and whites and exploded in '08 with prints from countless cultures. Tolani, however, tends to blend both the traditional and the modern, creating some of the most elegant scarves I've ever seen. Leave the pashminas for your mother and grandmother ladies; here's a brand that you can really enjoy by adapting it to your personal style.

While browsing around Blue Heaven Boutique, one of my favorite shopping sites online, I came across not only a selection of Tolani's famed scarves but a clothing line as well! I can't tell you how happy I am to see that the same quality and beautiful prints are now in blouse and dress form! Check out a few of my favorite pieces:

Although I don't love celebrities, I do love their clothes. Lucky girls, they always get the best merchandise before it even hits the block.
