Jenny of Good Bad N Fab for Ellie Lavelle

Aaaaaannnd introducing our 4th talented team for the fashion photoshoot on September 24th…. Please meet the absolute fox of Good Bad N Fab, Jenny!  I have paired her up with Ellie Lavelle!

Name:  Jenny Wu

Age:  29

City:  Los Angeles, CA

What inspired you to start your blog?:  My day job as a fashion lawyer is quite stressful so blogging was an outlet for me to express and comment on the lighter sides of life.

Sites you must visit daily:  PerezHilton, lookbook.nu, www.accidentalchinesehipster.tumblr.com, FashionGoneRogue

Favorite Designer:  Phillip Lim

Trend/item you’re loving right now:  Colorblocking.

Who is your style icon and why?  Marilyn Monroe. She embodied old Hollywood glamour and exuded a sense of soft sensuality.

What is your dream fashion purchase?  The entire Fall 2011 Tom Ford collection.

What is the most beloved item in your wardrobe? A pair of red Gucci pumps. They were my very first high-end shoe purchase!

You’re spending an afternoon shopping in the city of your choice. What’s the city and itinerary?  LA, my hometown and my one true love. I would maximize my shopping afternoon by heading over to Melrose Avenue. I’d start out hunting for vintage treasures at the Fairfax High Flea Market. Then I’d head west and do some boutique shopping at Fred Segal, Madison, Marc Jacobs, and Chloe. I would end my afternoon with cocktails and oysters at Comme Ca.

If you could own the wardrobe of any film or TV character whose would it be?  Serena Van Der Woodsen from Gossip Girl. Who wouldn’t want a closet that reaches every spectrum of the fashion rainbow-from billowy bohemian blouses to couture gowns…she has it all and I want all of it!

The ultimate accessory is… a red Chanel 2.55 purse. Timeless, chic, and classic.

What advice can you give to anyone who is thinking of starting their own blog?:  Once you find your own voice, readers will find you!

Meow.

Name:  Ami Gan

Age:  26

City:  West Hollywood, CA

What inspired you to start your blog?: I wanted free stuff. j/k (sort of)…I really wanted a place I could document what was not only going on in my life, but also the world. I like to write about newsy topics mixed together with personal style.

Sites you must visit daily:  The MyFDBlog, WWD, Racked, Fashionista, WWD

Favorite Designer:  Prabal Gurung

Trend/item you’re loving right now:  Wearing lots of different textured pieces, oh and color-blocking because it never goes out of style.

Who is your style icon and why?  Tom Ford because he has a touch of effortless class to him and I also love well tailored men’s looks, which he’s always in.

What is your dream fashion purchase?  Chanel & Missoni

What is the most beloved item in your wardrobe?  My REAL jewelry…actual gemstones, gold & silver. Costume jewelry and clothes are fun, but these pieces never go out of style.

You’re spending an afternoon shopping in the city of your choice. What’s the city and itinerary?  Somewhere I’ve never been: Sao Paulo, Brasil. The city is full of vivid colors and amazing clothes. Plus, after shopping I could hit up one of the exotic beaches.

If you could own the wardrobe of any film or TV character whose would it be?
Cher’s closet in Clueless, her clothes are very 90’s, but her closet was incredible… It was computerized, rotated, color coordinated—it’s 2011, why isn’t this available yet?

The ultimate accessory is…  Confidence.

What advice can you give to anyone who is thinking of starting their own blog?:  Don’t think, just do it. Start writing, posting pictures, etc… You can always change things later. The important thing is to start documenting yourself and your interests. I like to think of blogs as online scrapbooks, something you’ll look back at in the future to see what was cool.

Sasha of LA Inspiration for Jen Awad

For our next dynamic duo for the fashion photoshoot on September 24th…. Please meet the alluring Sasha of LA Inspiration!  I have paired her up with JEN AWAD!

Name:  Sasha Jones

Age:  24

City:  Hollywood, CA

What inspired you to start your blog?:  I’d recently fallen in love with a few street style blogs, and after going to some fashion shows and seeing a lot of street style in LA – I decided to start my own!

Sites you must visit daily:  Refinery29, MyFDB, a bunch of different street style blogs.

Favorite Designer:  I don’t really have one.

Trend/item you’re loving right now:  Sheer. Maxi. Reallllly high wedges.

Who is your style icon and why?:  It’s hard to choose just one.. but I think at this very moment I’d say the Olsen twins. It’s been amazing seeing them grow up and come into their own. They take chances. I love their whole vibe, and the way they think outside of the box. You can tell they just wear whatever they want, and I appreciate that.

What is your dream fashion purchase?  About 50 pair of Jeffrey Campbells and a lot of jewelry. Everything from the Odylyne Fall 2011 collection. Everything.

What is the most beloved item in your wardrobe?  Hmm.. I’d say it’s a tie between my F21 sheer leopard print maxi skirt, my Sam Edelman Zoe wedges, or my black Odylyne maxi skirt.

You’re spending an afternoon shopping in the city of your choice. What’s the city and itinerary? Honestly – I’d love to spend a Sunday afternoon on Melrose & visit the flea market. With a lot of cash to blow.

If you could own the wardrobe of any film or TV character whose would it be?Cher from Clueless. Hands down.

The ultimate accessory is… RINGS! On every single finger.

What advice can you give to anyone who is thinking of starting their own blog?:Just go for it! But give it your all. There are a lot of blogs out
there, and you have to try to make yours memorable. Don’t half-ass it. Do
it and do it 100%. It’s an amazing creative outlet and it’s something to
be proud of.

Neekoh of Live Love LA for Geren Ford

Hi everyone! As you know, I am producing a fashion photoshoot on September 24th. Over the next week, I will be introducing the bloggers and the designers!

Please meet the beautiful Neekoh of Live Love LA:) I have paired her up with GEREN FORD.

Name: Nikoleta Panteva (Neekoh)

Age: 26

City: West Hollywood,CA

What inspired you to start your blog?: I started my blog in 2007 after seeing girls (particularly Rumi) post their outfits on FabSugar’s Look of the Day. I thought, “Hey, I can do that too!” So I did.

Sites you must visit daily: Refinery29, coco+kelley, The Man Repeller

Favorite Designer: Marc Jacobs and a lot of Diane von Furstenberg’s stuff

Trend/item you’re loving right now: Currently, I’m into the really relaxed-put-together look. Something along the lines of luxurious pajamas. And mixing textures, always.

Who is your style icon and why?: I’m not sure I have a style icon. Victoria Beckham is always impeccable, but her looks aren’t everyday wearable, just something to strive for.

What is your dream fashion purchase?: A pair of YSL Tribute sandals.

What is the most beloved item in your wardrobe?: Right now, I’m in love with my new Theyskens’ Theory top. Its color and texture make it feel absolutely regal. I also have this go-to black strapless body-con dress that’s perfect for anything from themed parties to fancy weddings.

You’re spending an afternoon shopping in the city of your choice. What’s the city and itinerary?: The city is New York. The itinerary starts in SoHo and ends on the Upper West Side. We hit everything from grungy boutiques to 5th Avenue to flea markets.

If you could own the wardrobe of any film or TV character whose would it be? Tough question! Casino comes to mind, where Sharon Stone wears the most ridiculously intricate gowns and Vegas attire.

The ultimate accessory is… a killer pair of heels. Hands down.

What advice can you give to anyone who is thinking of starting their own blog?: Stick it out, be yourself and don’t get discouraged by lulls in the process. If you’re truly passionate, you’re not in it for the fame anyway.
