Please contact kristin@allalongapparel.com or visit my shop at Crafted at the Port of Los Angeles My first weekend selling my creations at CRAFTED at the Port of L.A. in my best friend's shop, Make Shop Live. It was such an amazing weekend! We had a really great turnout and it was so exciting to see people interested in the things I've created - like a dream come true!                  My big sister, Lana made this little number for me when I was about 10 years old! Although it's a little short for me now, it will always be my fave :)
She has always been such an inspiration and sparked my love for fashion design at a very young age <3  I went to see SHPONGLE at the Wiltern this past Saturday - not only was it an amazing show, but I also got to scope out some really great fashion while I was there! This girl had it all from head to toe! So boho-chic with the perfect mix of funky accessories. Love it!
And speaking of boho-chic, embrace your inner Earth Goddess in some of the styles below: Looks like we all have something to SmiLe about. I made my smile shirt on a day when I had not been feeling well for an entire week and needed something to cheer myself up. I thought I was being kinda cheesy, but it looks like we can all say "cheese!" and SMILE in STYLE!
 It feels like everyone's been asking me, "why don't you start a blog?" So here it is :)
My fashion obsessions began very early on. Playing "dress-up" was my favorite pastime as a kid. Before I could even talk, my mom knew I disapproved of an outfit because I cried until she picked the right dress. I suppose it was then and there that I decided to become a fashion designer. 100% obsessed with fashion, I am on a constant quest for the perfect ensemble. What I wear will first portray my mood, whether I'm feeling funky, sophisticated, quirky, or refined. Comfort is also of utmost importance - if it's not comfortable, I probably won't wear it (or I might change later, LoL) - unless of course, I am dressing for an event so grand that it would be a shame to be comfortable. I mean, take a look at Victoria Beckham - willing to "suffer for fashion", she once wore a breathtaking Cavalli dress that was so body-hugging that she couldn't sit down during the entire duration of Elton John's Tiara Ball in London [InStyle, June 2010, page 106]. Sometimes comfort must be sacrificed when it's worth it and I'd say Cavalli is well worth it. Fashion is each individual's outer shell and a way of self-expression - the right clothes can portray your feelings and perspective no matter who you are or what you want to say to the world. I'm saying, "Hello world! Let's talk fashion!" |
