Style Memo - Switch Up-Change Up

Independent Designers. Emerging Trends. Essentially we're the pencil toting, note-takers of fashion; memo pads in hand, we follow the independent runways and young designers as they show their collections. We scour fashion trends, find the best and brightest and doll 'em out to ya. Our interviews get you inside the heads of fashion-mavens, trend-setters and designers; plus we go behind the scenes at the shows offering first dibs on who to watch and what you'll want to get your hands on. With our monthly video installments, we'll take you around to visit boutiques and help you put together outfits that you can run out and own tonight before dinner. We'll show case some of the sleekest designs from a bevy of talented up and coming designers. Whether you're a total fashion-head and love to be in the know about the latest trends and newest designer darlings, or you're a classical-beauty kind of gal who just wants a few ideas for putting together something fun for a Saturday night out, we've got you covered. -Kari Check out our video installments:

Switch Up-Change Up

Hey, I wanted to make it official on the tumblr blog that Style Memo is morphing into a website and monthly on-line magazine. The website format allows for more photos (we have a whole section devoted to photo galleries), TV, and more ways to contact us and participate in the on-going fashion conversation that we love doing. The independent vibe of Style Memo will be continue at Above The Fray Mag which is the new home of this blog: www.abovethefraymag.com

Also on the AtFM- is a link to our very first issue of the AtFM on-line magazine. It’s a more in-depth look at new designers and trends, has video and a photo-spread; all designed to satiate the more hard-core fashion fanatics.

From now on, please look at www.abovethefraymag.com for blog updates, the new monthly magazine and more photos.

Take a look and please, don’t hesitate to contact us with your feedback.
