This past Monday, June 22nd, 13 fashion writers/bloggers/editors/entrepreneurs/extraordinary women got together for a Style Coalition video campaign that will be released in the next weeks, so stay tuned! I promised to keep my lips sealed on the project’s details, but just know that it is going to be HUGE! I was honored to participate, along with these fabulous other sites:

The Style Observer

The Daily Obsession

Second City Style

StyleBakery

Running with Heels

The Jet Set Girls

A special thanks goes out to DEX New York for hosting the event and providing us with amazing hair and makeup! I’d like to personally thank Naomi Porto for giving my hair the right amount of volume and texture, and Altjana Banja for my lovely face and confirming that I can wear 2 shades of blue eyeshadow and look amazing. Also thanks to Thomas Cantley for the beautiful photos. Below is a sampling of “before” and “after” photos from the shoot — enjoy!

Here’s me (Julia) in my favorite boyfriend jeans and beater, transformed into a lovely mademoiselle in a vintage Sonia Rykiel floral dress.

Norma Kamali: On Ebay and on Blogspot

by fashionpulse

Via our friends at LollieShopping.com:

I am so impressed with how Norma Kamali has developed her brand. From fine retailers to Wal-Mart, we can all find a Norma Kamali piece to suit our taste and budget. And regardless of your taste or budget, you know that whatever Norma Kamali piece you do find is going to be simply flattering.

But did you know that you can find Norma Kamali on ebay? Norma Kamali has set up her own ebay store called Norma Kamali Exclusive, where you can find exclusive styles at discount prices, such as this cute bubble skirt that’s only $50.

Norma Kamali Orange Bubble Skirt

Starting Bid: $50

And when you’re done perusing the Norma Kamali Exclusive ebay store, visit her blog…or rather, her dog’s blog at Zeke’s View from Below. Zeke is Norma Kamali’s miniature dachshund, and the eyes and ears of the Norma Kamali design room. Plus, he’s simply adorable and I’m sure you won’t regret bookmarking this doggie-licious fashion blog and adding it to your favorites.
