What's the go?
Designers are going online so that they don't have to pay for rent space in a shopping centre, or for staff to process sales at a register. Other designers are only just getting their name out there, and may not have the finances or the time to open their own store. This is where Samuel Smith and Scott Gowdie come into play, bringing us Fashion Democracy, an online boutique which is aimed at helping young designers sell their product, without much hassle at all. FD is currently scouting new designers to sell their collections on the website, which will be up and running next month.
The new business is taking online fashion to a new level, providing designers with so much more than a simple customer/retailer transaction. Brisbane should be prepared to see Fashion Democracy pouring into their search engines over the next few months, because these young men are fighting for these emerging designers right to bring their product to you as my favourite little Brisbane Sweetharts.

When Lord&Taylor asked if I'd be interested in styling their items in a series of posts, I checked out their plus selection and was really impressed. They carry a bunch of the best plus designers, like DKNYC, Vince Camuto, and my personal fave, Calvin Klein. CK makes quality, on trend pieces in classic cuts, and I chose an awesome cranberry tweed jacket with leather sleeves. I'm still big into this color for fall, and anything with leather accents is an immediate draw for me. I decided to pair it with my H&M+ button down and F21 skater skirt to give it a more casual feel, but it could work for the office too. As the temperature drops, I love having light jackets to throw on, and this one will definitely be a Fall favorite.need for tweed
