A TASTE OF MABELLA CHIC!

We get so excited when we walk away from an event where we know we just made a really great connection. This happened to Liz earlier this year when she met the lovely Mabel, the creative behind Mabella Chic, a line of unique pieces designed for the modern woman. Mabel is an emerging designer with such passion for creating fun and trendy pieces. Just this past summer she introduced her summer collection and we were excited when she approached us about collaborating. It is great to see that all we needed was the right timing to get to be creative together!The idea to feature her was a given but we wanted to do it in a way that would offer something to our readers so we decided what better way than to style one of her pieces the sol sisters way. We took the Ninette, a great body-con dress in white and blue stripe with a beautiful lace detail on the back and styled it in a way where you could easily take those summer items you didn't get enough of and wear them well into the fall season. Who else loves getting versatility in a piece?!

The first look was styled around a more casual/work appropriate look. During those fall days we get to experience bipolar temperatures and its nice to layer our clothing and easily adjust throughout the day. We paired the Ninette dress with this great bold crochet jacket and added neutral accessories to keep the look classic. The heels could easily be switched out for flats at the end of a work day to finish off the evening more comfortably.

Our second look is more fun and trendy. It is more appropriate for a night out or date night. We paired the Ninette dress with a faux leather moto jacket and studded ankle boots for a more edgy feel. The accessories including this oversized leather clutch compliment this versatile dress very well and carry it so easily into the night! 

Next time your getting ready to put away all that summer clothes think twice about seeing how you can carry it into the next season by just adjusting some of the pairings. Perhaps some items are coming to you now....don't hesitate to reach back in and get them out again!!

We encourage you to head on over to Mabella Chic and check out what this fabulous lady is up to! Her Fall 2014 collection is just around the corner and we are so excited for it just from the teaser we got!

PHOENIX FASHION WEEK 2013- VIDEO RECAP

What a fun journey it has been to experience Phoenix Fashion Week as a blogger for a second year in a row. Our journey to the big show started earlier this summer from meeting the emerging designers that would be introducing their collections, to the models that would showcase the pieces on the runway to getting to see first hand some of the amazing pieces at the Shop Garment District event! Liz just about died with a winter coat from one of the designers and just had to have it! We can't wait to share it with you once the weather is a little more cooperative. Overall seeing dreams being made is a great adventure to be a part of and we couldn't be happier with the memories we get to take with us and the new friendships we make along the way!

We leave you with a photo recap in video format of our weekend at Phoenix Fashion Week 2013.  

Thank you to all who made us feel so special throughout the 2013 fashion season, we are so excited for what next year will hold!

Special Event- Brave Wings Fashion Show

Sol Sisters were invited to the inaugural Brave Wings Fashion Show to benefit the Sojourner Center. The Sojourner Center is actually on of the nation’s oldest shelters helping women in need from domestic violence. We were glad to learn that the Sojourner Center helps every year over 3000 women. Some of the services provided to these women and children encompass shelter, on-site care, legal advocacy, basic health care, and education for women and children where they learn how to be empowered and break away from a life of violence. 

We were thankful to Mabel Cortez from Mabella Chic for personally inviting The Sol Sisters to cover this event. With a vision in mind and the desire to contribute back to their community Mabel of Mabella Chick and Jenesis Laforcade of Woman's Touch Apparel got to work on bringing to life last nights event and with a great response from like minded individuals it's obvious these two fabulous women will do great things! The designers (Woman’s Touch Apparel, Cher Thomas, Mabella Chic, Dawn Sunflower, Trifilio, and Orlando Dugi), the vendors (Friday I am Sassy, Stella and Dot, Lana May,  DAMAS, Madelyn Nault Accessories, MUZ Be Inspired and THREADS), the venue where the event was held (The Venue Scottsdale), and the music (by DJ Digital Phunk) were on point. The combination of all of these players made the event a success and we cannot wait to see what they will bring us next year.

Mabel and Jenesis, Sol Sisters want to thank you for bringing fashion to help a great cause, make an event such a success, and introduce designers that we feel are leaving a footprint in the fashion world starting here within our community. Some of our favorite designers were Woman's Touch Apparel, Mabella Chic, Trifilio, and Orlando Dugi. Orlando Dugi brings sophistication, edge, and colorful designs to the runway. Woman's Touch Apparel definitely creates a piece of clothing that empowers women and makes them feel sexy and in control with a very street style vibe, Trifilio brings a very feminine contemporary style to the runway, and Mabella Chic brings comfort, color and trend in such a effortless way.
