Local Style Spotlight: Lavenda from Lavendas Closet

This is such an exciting month for everyone... Well surely ALMOST everyone, haha. I guess I'm getting ahead of myself. But January DOES represent new beginnings for so many people! It's an inspiring month for creatives like myself because client work often slows leaving me to my own devices. Winter is like a giant empty canvas for me!

My new Blog and Youtube Channel (eeeek!) are all I can think about these days. It's exciting to see the response from NW designers and my immediate Portland community. I've been able to collaborate with so many people in the creation of my new branding, the site and the launch party that will celebrate the whole she-bang! Soft Launch is schedule for January 15th so please follow me on facebook and tumblr for updates!

I'm itching to get everything launched so that you can share in the excitement with me!
About this OUTFIT though, haha.

I wore this outfit to a wedding last week. It was an intimate event so I felt like a cotton blend dress would fit the occasion. I dressed it up with my heavy gold chain necklace and some simple wrist accessories. You know how much I LOVE these quilted booties by now... My Zara coat hits just above the dress so that the floral design peeks out perfectly below.

Style Spotlight: Nancy Callen

Meet ShopAddikt's amazing web desginer! As a part of the ShopAddikt team, Nancy brings both creativity to branding SA along with her own passion for wearing everyday fashion! Check our our exclusive interview with one of Portland's hottest web designers!


SA: Why do you love ShopAddikt?
"I love to shop. Period. I'm a HUGE stalker. Exclamation. ShopAddikt was like a match made in heaven. When I say I stalk, that doesn't even begin to describe the extent of how much I love clothes. I'm on every discount, non-discount site constantly searching for say a perfect mint dress and won't stop until it's found. ShopAddikt is the perfect marriage of tons of items to search for at great prices. How could you go wrong?"
SA: How would you describe your style living in such an Urban community?
"I would say high end with a twist. I love to mix and match designers (both high and low end) constantly. I don't like to be a walking label. Just a well put together outfit showing off great clothes and designers. Picture a great chunky vintage necklace with some great loose fitting Helmet Lang top mixed with some Paige waxy skinny jeans completed with some Jimmy Choos. Perfection"
.
SA: What are 3 items you can’t live without?
  1. Vintage Chanel Bag
  2. This great long vintage necklace of my mom's. No idea of the designer.
  3. My Robert Cavalli brown leather jacket. It has all this great hardware that makes it go with just about anything.
