25 Peeks Into The StyleX Shop Hop At SXSW

Edited by Nicole Vardo

Almost a week into SXSW here in Austin, Texas  and it’s time for the weekend and round two of StyleX! Today a group of stylists, editors, designers, and bloggers from all over got together and visited over 12 boutiques all over Austin in honor of the StyleX shop hop preview.  A few of the places we visited were Kendra Scott’s corporate office down in SoCo, Stag, Moss, Hem, Bows + Arrows, and many, many more. All local businesses owned by very innovative and inspirational people. Tomorrow StyleX officially starts at the Austin Convention Center. The event will be filled with fashion shows and talks about bloggers, tech, and of course music! After the jump are 25 sweet things I spotted at all these great boutiques today.

Dive Into a World of Fantasy & Beauty With Lolli Popitt

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Designer Amanda Elle wasn’t originally the type of girl who dreamt of becoming a fashion designer. But in 2009, Amanda launched a couture-inspired clothing label and then jewelry brand in New York City. Born, a natural artist, attending a specialized high school for the arts as well as NYU Steinhardt’s studio arts program, studying drawing, photography & sculpture, she brought her creative flare to the fashion world. From experimenting with her artistic talents, she created Lolli Popitt – a tastefully provocative and fantastically girlie line which brings you the joy of childhood dress-up in the realm of high fashion — and jewelry line Crystal Knuckles which already has loyal fans like Uma Thurman and Ke$ha. I was able to stop by Lolli Land, her Chelsea design studio, and talk to Amanda about the labels & her transcendence from sculptor to designer, what inspires her and what she has in store for Lolli Poppitt and Crystal Knuckles.
