DO THE LOCO-MOTION WITH ME

{Loco-motion by Kylie Minogue}

This past week has been the busiest I have ever been and if you follow me on Twitter than you know what I mean. I've barely had a second to breathe much less blog, sadly. But I'm back and better than ever! Last night I made my way to the city to check out Alexa Chung's new line with Madewell. Okay, I basically went to check out Alexa Chung herself. I wasn't disappointed with either.

Alexa Chung, with her original 5'8" height was towering over me in her amazing, and already sold out everywhere, calf hair cheetah Zowie boots. I literally drooled a little. Never have I seen a lady this pretty in real life, she looks even better than she does in photographs, I swear! Her presence is dangerously silly as we grooved, jived and danced to Loco-Motion. Always a dainty smile on her face, Alexa is truly someone who just oozes cool (her British accent doesn't hurt, not one bit!) I think I fell even more in love with her if that's possible.

What I loved most about her collaboration with Madewell is the fact that each and every piece looks like something out of her own closet. This is the perfect way to recreate her vintage chill; with her silk button ups, rugged coats, soft mohair knits, and even silk palm tree pajamas, Alexa makes it easy to mix and match feminine and masculine pieces in order to create a chic tomboyish vibe, like the one she is so famously known for. While she doesn't believe that she is a style icon, I sure think so! Who else could pull off rocking what she does on the daily? 

Another reason I feel like Alexa and I are soul sisters (as if I needed more!) is that we used the same font, her for the collection and me for my blog. Coincidence? I think not!

Like always, I am running from one thing to another, this time from an interview to the event, thus my outfit is quite tame. Trying to avoid swimming in my own sweat and trying to look somewhat professional, this H&M shirtdress is what I settled on. I mean, better than cutoffs right? I am absolutely smitten with the word smitten at the moment and my Dolce Vita Jamison ankle boots. While they were a bit of a splurge for me, I regret it not one bit. With their resemblance to the coveted Isabel Marant Dicker boots, I have finally quenched my thirst.

P.S. I recently rubbed elbows with, ah!, Seth Rogen and Will Reiser to talk about their new movie 50/50. Incredibly lucky I am as I was able to sit among other journalists and just chit chat with them after viewing an early screening of the film. It was lovely. I nearly died. Actually, I did. Check out the blog post I wrote for Caliber about it!

P.P.S. How are you lovelies liking the new photo edit? I've been playing around with Photoshop, do you like it better than the old photo edit or no? Feedback please!
