Hello! This is Katie, stylist of FLP Getups, finally putting pen to paper (so to speak) to introduce myself here. My goal is to bring you the eco-friendly fashion you’ve been searching for. Not only will the outfits I style show you some of the best in socially responsible brands and vintage sources, they’ll give you inspiration for styling your own closets in new ways. I love uniqueness, so I’ll help you stand out from the crowd… let’s all express our individuality and support sustainability!

I recently graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles with a degree in Fashion Merchandising and a professional degree in Merchandise Marketing. I have styled for independent fashion shows and rejuvenated some of the most “stressed out” wardrobes for clients of all ages, both men and women. I focus on the essentials and can help in the most budget friendly of ways.

I believe that everyone already owns an independent style — that fashion trends are just tempting us to change who we are. Uncover your flair once and for all, and rediscover your true identity! When you look good, your self-confidence will reflect it.

I do my wardrobe styling and have a stationery line through Chanari Designs (pronounced “canary”), a company I started earlier this year. Chanari is all about connections — connecting through clothes, through ink and through expression.

Connecting through clothes

Staying stylish while advocating sustainability has always been a passion of mine. I am always on the lookout for unique pieces that will complement the clothes you already own and love.

Creativity is what drives me. I believe fashion should be fun, not a fear. My passion in the well-being of our environment has made my love for eco-fashionable style really come alive. It is possible to bring fabulous style into your everyday wardrobe without breaking the bank! I want to bring the simplicity of shopping to your life. It’s about creating long-lasting fabulous style, not disposable outfits that will end up in the landfill the next season.

Connecting though ink

The hand-written note is a simple yet glamorous way of expressing your identity and emotions. Your clothes let you show many moods; paper lets you do the same thing. Chanari Designs brings your style to paper. By using environmentally friendly and recycled materials, you will send your love with confidence. To order these designs or see more, email me at chanaristyle(at)gmail(dot)com.

I cannot wait to get to know you better! Stay stylish!

If you haven’t already seen this movie, you should go. There’s a “playing house” scene at Ikea, a choreographed musical scene with strangers in a park, a disgustingly realistic relationship and, clearly, Zooey Deschanel’s gorgeous retro style.

Hollywood Crush talked with costume designer Hope Hanafin about it… she said that Zooey wore the color blue in every scene to bring out her eyes and to set her apart from everyone else in the film — no one else wears it. It attracts our eyes as viewers and symbolically reflects Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s love for her. Pretty cool.

Much of her wardrobe is vintage, with a mix of new — and affordable! — stuff. Hope said, “Though I have great respect for these romantic comedies where secretaries are wearing Prada, I wanted ['500 Days'] to be kind of the anti-’Sex and the City.’ So, Zooey’s wearing clothes that her character really could afford, things are also repeated. Her clothes are a mix of things from [places like] Old Navy, GAP, BCBG and then there’s a lot of vintage.” Gotta seriously appreciate that. (Sorry about throwing a few pricey items into the outfit… we typically can’t afford them either, but they’re fun to look at.)

Also — check out this amazing music video Zooey and Joe made on the side! For “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?” by She & Him.

(I’d embed it, but that version plays an un-pause-able ad every time you load the page. Ugh.)
