Style Challenge

 This week the team at ABC Family, and Jane By Design, asked me to participate in a style challenge (the 1st of a few  in the next few weeks). Here are the before and after photos. You can view the video evidence below too.

The ABC team would also like to see what you'd spend on. Upload your videos or mood boards here and mention this blog to be considered to be featured on the ABC Family website.

Giveaway- from Nicole Fendel and Dallas Shaw

For at least a year now I have been in touch with Nicole Fendel. She is a talented jewelry designer, and emailed a few weeks back with news on the growth of her line. I secretly refer to her pieces as "delicates". White some designs large and always attention getting, many of the pieces have script on them and each piece seems so precious when worn.

Today, Nicole has so graciously let me choose a pair of my favorites to give away to one blog reader!

I chose these from her new website b/c I think they would be equally stunning with a black suit jacket at a fashion show as they would if worn with a long multicolored maxi dress in the summertime.

To enter, subscribe to the Nicole Fendel site here, and leave a comment below to let me know you've entered.

As always, an extra entry to tweeting anything about my blog. I would love the help i spreading the word. :)

Jane by Design Style Challenge

Yesterday, as I was in my office working on a project for dkny, fielding calls from my newest client in London, and struggling with my twitter account (#twissues)...when a very large package arrived at the door. I finally managed to get the heavy package into my office and I opened it to find a large white trunk. The trunk was filled with a dress form, pretzels (?), a tacky holiday vest, crafting supplies... and a note that says more instructions will follow.

Just last week I was invited by the team at ABC family to participate in a design challenge for their upcoming show "Jane By Design". To sum up the agreement, I will complete a number of design challenges (with the help of blog readers) and depending how well it goes, I even have the opportunity to get one of my readers' style featured on the ABC Family website. 

(Not going to lie, I did confidently tell the ABC team that that my blog readers were the most stylish...)

I have no idea what my first assignment will be for this project, but I will keep you all posted when I have word. 

Hey wait, those aren't my fashion illustrations... I'll need to speak with someone about that. ;)
