Fashionable Times w/ Kensie Clothing at WWDMAGIC

 

While scouring the WWDMAGIC floor this past week I came across a unique brand with exactly my kind of taste, Kensie. They consider their brand as a modern girl trying to make her way through life (totally sounds like me must I say). Their fall 2011 collection featured various neutral and earthly tones, plenty of sheer, and of course this years highlight, ruffles (above). Their look definitely gives you a San Francisco vibe even though they are based in Canada and New York.

“The pieces in each collection play with the idea of change, contrast, of mixing pretty with edgy. There’s a sense of structure and fluidity, femininity and masculinity, pieces with an elegant yet whimsical kind of pretty, pieces on the edge of pretty”-Kensie.com

I had the pleasure to meet with Hayley from Kensie Clothing at their WWDMAGIC booth last week. On Valentine’s Day she invited me and various other bloggers from the Teen Vogue Blogger Lounge to join in on the festivities of pink champagne and Lindor Truffles. Mmmm! Must I say yum!

Afterwards each of us were given a piece of Kensie clothing.  I received the gorgeous mauve colored linen and silk shirt featured above. Cuteee! Absolutely love the the gathered flowers in the front and the buttoned up back. Thank you Hayley and Kensie for a wonderful experience at Magic! Kensie was definitely in the top 5 of my favorite brands at WWDMAGIC.

I absolutely adore these scarves. They are versatile and can be worn in many different ways. Each scarf is unique and gives off that urban feel. Their booth is also decorated with pictures of several celebrities who wear Tolani. Love!

I’m completely obsessed with fedora hats so of course I chose to bring two. I am also bringing my leopard printed necklace that my Mom (Love You!) bought me for Christmas from a private seller on Ebay. In love with my 1928 Jewelry floral bracelet which will be layered with other bracelets to create a fun and flirty effect.

I’m making sure to wear my Michael Kors glasses at least one of the days and my favorite Pelle Studios leather jacket will be my ultimate layer for the cocktail parties at night.  Everything else I am bringing is a surprise so make sure to bump into me at the Teen Vogue Blogger Lounge at WWDMAGIC!!

WWDMAGIC Interview with Fashionably Ashley

1.  How did you start your blog? What was the creative inspiration behind putting yourself out to the world?

After graduating college I was left in an economy that was hurt with high unemployment. I graduated feeling like no one would hire me because I didn’t have enough experience or I was too young. After deciding it was time for a change I moved up to San Francisco in hopes of finding an opportunity. In my first months of moving was when I decided to design my own blog called www.FashionablyAshley.com.  I used it as motivation and designed it around my explorations, style, and personality. It’s a part of me that everyone can enjoy.

2.  From where you began to where you are now as an independent writer, what are three valuable things you’ve learned about your craft?

1. Never give up.

2. Always have fun. Be yourself.

3. Never feel like you don’t have enough to write.

(Micro-blogging is becoming more and more popular. I’d say about 60% of my posts are done through my mobile phone in the form of photos, videos, quotes, ect. I love visuals and feel that most of the time you can get more from one picture than you would from an entire article.)

3.  Aside from writing your blog, what do you do for a living? How has your blog contributed to your career?

I’m a web producer/social media manager for a wireless firm in the financial district of San Francisco. I work with all the major cellular carriers including Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile. Among my specialties includes promotions, user interface enhancements, and brand development. My blog has definitely been a big part of the reason I got my job in the first place. It represented my personality, charisma, and dedication to something I love within my blog and that’s something that sparked their interest. I am currently redesigning our company blog in hopes of making it a #1 wireless information center. If I could make one recommendation for anyone just getting out of college it would be to create a blog and market yourself.
