My tips: DIY collars
November 27, 2012
Step 1: Get your supplies! For this project you will need a graphic tee (we chose Lockerz tee) and spikes/grommets or studs(we chose Boy Meets Girl® studs)
shirt, spikes / grommets/ or studs we used 32 in ours, glue or a hot glue
gun, and color stickers.
Step 2: Mark out a collar shape on one half of the tee shirt. We used sticky
dots to mark ours evenly. For the collar shape we did our row closest to the
collar had 8, the next row had 4, and the following had 3. Depending on the
look your going for add one more row of 1 for a pointy look or to keep it
rounded make the row of 3 your last.
Step 3: Plug in your hot glue gun or get your glue ready for the following
steps
Step 4: Pull off each sticky one at a time and place a spike / grommet / or
stud down to make sure you like the placement of everything before gluing it
down. (see image above)
Step 5: Use your hot glue gun or glue to stick each spike / grommet / stud
in place. (see image above)
Step 6: Repeat steps 2 6 on the other side of your tee shirt!
Voila! You now have a hand crafted collar- a great addition to any basic tee
shirt you already have in your closet!
What DIY projects have you guys been working on?

Midnight Inspirations: Gone till November
November 19, 2012
Happy Monday everyone! As you all know I was honored to work with Wyclef Jean for my NYFW show this past September (if you haven't seen the show check it out here). I recently saw Clef perform live after NYFW here in NYC at the City Winery and I have always been in love with this song "Gone Till November" so thought it would great to start off your day with music Monday with Wyclef :) Hope everyone has a great week!
Here are a few other clips I caught of Wyclef a few weeks ago. Enjoy!
(hope you like my commentary lol!)
What's your favorite Wyclef and/or Fugees song?

1. Name: Amanda Dawn also known as Fearlessbeauty17 on Youtube
2. Favorite charity/cause to support and why?
My
favorite charity would have to be the American Red Cross because of
everything that they do to help others in need. They are always willing
to help as many people as they can. With Hurricane Sandy just being

to those in need. They are a charity inspires me want to help others in
need. Visit their website for more information!
3. Favorite Boy Meets Girl® Item:
I love my Forever Young Crop Top because it can be styled in so many ways! It can be edgy, girly, classic, etc! It is so comfortable and the american flag boy and girl are so adorable! I did a video styling this piece too! Watch it HERE!!

Behind the Seams: Q&A with Boy Meets Girl® model Hali Burns
November 12, 2012
I'm so excited to introduce you guys to one of my absolute favorite models to work with, Hali Burns. I first met Hali two years ago when I cast her to shoot looks for www.boymeetsgirlusa.com. I loved Hali from the minute I met her. She just has that "IT" girl thing. Her aura is infectious and she knows how to work that camera aka why she is an incredible model. I love finding a fresh face and introducing that face to my fans. Over the past two years Hali has been featured in tons of campaigns for magazines like Seventeen Magazine and brands like Steve Madden and many more. I am so proud of Hali and love watching her evolve into a SUPER MODEL. This past NYFW, Hali walked in my show. Check it out here!
Learn more about Hali below and definitely keep your eye out for Hali as this is just the beginning of a HUGE career.
You can keep up with Hali here on Instagram @HaliKai

Behind the Seams: Working with the LESGC
November 6, 2012
 |
| with LESGC Nova who shadowed DJ MM on social media :)) |
 |
| with LESGC Joanne who shadowed me! xo |
A week before the show 13 girls(of the 18) came to visit me and my team at my showroom! At this meeting, I talked to the girls about what their roles would be at NYFW and who they would be "shadowing" and gave them a brief on the brand and the flow of the show. I got a one on one with the girls as I knew at the show this time would not be there due to the madness of show day. This was a very special day for me and I loved every moment getting to know these amazing girls and educating them on the fashion world.
 |
| Shot by Lou Dembrow (LESGC Photography and Media Programs Director) |
Working with the girls assured me that I’m doing exactly what I am meant to do. I love teaching others, whether it be younger students or older students and my own team, and in the process giving them the knowledge to pursue their dreams but to always keep a piece of them that’s FOREVER YOUNG and to continue on their desired career paths in confidence.
Thank you again Rosario for this introduction to an incredible organization.

Additionally, I wanted to thank the Huffpost Voces and Latina.com for featuring this collaboration in these articles!
Can’t wait to work with the girls again soon!!

My Tips: How to wear Boy Meets Girl® Fall pieces Part I
Fall is one of my favorite seasons and I'll take any excuse to layer up (I layer all summer too)! Here are a few of my favorite items from the new Boy Meets Girl® line exclusive online on Lockerz.com. The prices are amazing everything is under $100(and this week you can snag 60% off with 500PTZ on Lockerz only until 11/5)! Definitely check these pieces out and send me pics if you scoop them up. Promise you will fall in love :) I post select photos of your photos on my personal instagram, lockerz collections, FB fan page and Boy Meets Girl®'s facebook, twitter, instagram, tumblr and Lockerz sites as well! So share share share :)
The Ami sweater
is the perfect color for fall! This wine and fuchsia striped
long-sleeved sweater looks great on its own or layered under a classic
white button up like the Sanctuary Top.
 |
| Model: Hali |
 |
| Model: Me Tip: layer with a button down to bring in the Collar effect. I chose to layer with a pale pink color to go with the two tone colors in the sweater. I also added a touch of bling to my lapel collars which is big for this season. Tip you can add sparkle to your collars using Boy Meets Girl® pins or opp for vintage pins! The Jarina Top is cozy and cool. It has a sweatshirt-like feel and has a keyhole on back that adds the perfect touch of edge. Named after NYFW performer Jarina De Marco. |
 |
| Model: Hali |
 |
| Model: Me Tip: Again I like to layer! I think this is key to styling your look this season. I accented my look with a hint of floral. |
See more Fall/Winter Boy Meets Girl® styles at Lockerz.com!
How would you style these two tops? Do you like layering as much as I do?

Stacy
