Style 2012, v.3

DID SOMEONE SAY BOOTY?

NAILS & LOAFERS, ALL DAY ERRY DAY

PUNK ROCK, BRO.

My mother strongly dislikes all the faces I make in photos (oh mom!) so how I could I resist blasting that gem up above – I’m talking about the one with the smile. I think I am starting to ease up with posting photos of myself. Figured if whatever I’m doing interests or intrigues you, then might as well share another piece. My friend Jayne said I’m much more of a personality than blogger and I’m not going to disagree.

My hair is looking pretty magical if you don’t mind me saying.

Catching Up

First things first, the winners of the jewelry giveaway are Jenna Fain and Rachel Chung. Congrats ladies!  A big thanks to random.org for making it easy. For those of you interested in the pieces created by Stefani Greenwood, Gilda Davidian and myself, you can buy them online at the Edition Of 24 online shop.  Thank you to everyone who entered, I truly appreciate your support and enthusiasm.

Secondly, as you may have noticed, Fashion Intel was quiet last week but I can guarantee you exciting things to come.  Something I have wanted to share is that I am now contributing food writer for Refinery 29 Los Angeles.  You can read my most recent article, L.A.’s Most Mouth-Watering Cheap Eats, to find out about my favorite spots in L.A. that I promise will satisfy your taste buds and not break the bank.

Lastly, I just want to say last week was a whirlwind of fun.  From Tina Fey’s book signing at Club Nokia to getting down with Prince at The Forum, I am a bit pooped now but it was all worth it.  In between that I managed to chop off most of my hair (a total of now 14 inches gone) and secure a new client.  Now I’m packing for Atlanta and looking forward to sharing with you that adventure.

Welcome Back

Welcome to the new Fashion Intel! Please make sure to change your links and bookmarks to www.fashionintel.com. I felt that a re-design was absolutely imperative in the continual growth of this blog. Thank you to everyone who took part in my recent survey. Your answers were not only helpful but many down right hilarious! One of the things you mentioned was how you’d prefer a blog that was free of clutter and easy to navigate. This Virgo couldn’t agree more. Here are some of the changes I’d like you to make note of :

+ You will now find links, contact info, and other goodies at the top of the page
+ My twitter feed also scrolls at the top of the page so you can read my up-to-the minute updates… you’ll get a lot of restaurant recommendations, movie reviews and I’d like to think I show a bit of wit sometimes / FOLLOW ME HERE.
+ “Share This” is available for every post so if you’d like to share an article on your facebook, twitter, et al. please be my guest
+ The search bar can now be found at the end of the page
+ My contact info is now Natalie@fashionintel.com

I know you’ve been wondering what my personal style is like because you expressed it in the survey. I anticipate more personal style posts in addition to the material I already cover. You can look forward to lots of black, hats, masks, gold jewelry, platforms, vintage, and interesting locations. Having a full-time job in addition to being a former full-time student (yes, both at once) did not allot for much time in the way of style posts. Now that I’ve graduated I foresee an easier integration of more personal things. We’ll see.

P.S. I look forward to launching the shop soon, where you’ll be able to buy some amazing jewelry, vintage, and designer wares.
P.S.S. I love puckering my lips because it is obviously the most ridiculous thing one can do. Lets take it over the top!
