Hurley’s Walk the Walk Dress

wtwdress

Whoa, back it up! From Hurley’s second edition of Walk the Walk, Hurley’s high school fashion design walk-off, comes this saucy design that urges others to back down. Designed by Virginia Beach’s Lilly West, this is one maxi that does more than just talk the talk. Hurley’s Walk the Walk (WTW) Dress highlights a unique, show-stopping exposed back, costarring this season’s runway Southwestern print and classic girly pointelle cotton. The first to debut in the Hurley collection, this ultra limited edition dress is long on style, but short on supply, so don’t miss out!

Spring Trend: Ruffles!

There’s something about ruffles on dresses that provokes shining up your dancing shoes and sipping champagne in the sun. It’s the cross between Brady Bunch Hawaii nostalgia and swinging starlets at Studio 54 that makes this retro style exude fun vibes. Complete the look with some slim wedges, oversized shades and a sleek clutch for distinctive and chic throwback style.

Browsing through the Selby today, I came across RVCA’s face and designer Erin Wasson’s Manhattan apartment. The Selby is a website featuring photographs, paintings and videos of interesting people and their creative spaces. Erin Wasson’s creative place highlights her signature leather-studded and lace street style in a downtown open loft. Her favorite part? The amber lights. Mine? Hands down the vintage-looking city bike propped up against the wall of sketches. Interested scoping out the RVCA designer’s eclectic pad? Get a glimpse here.
