Originality. He said, “I put in the extra effort in order for my wardrobe to speak for myself. Every day and every outfit is a new opportunity to be a different “me” and I love it!”

The Breakdown:
Carrera real prescription glasses (people always ask me if they are real- I find it kind of  funny). Got them in my last trip home. San Luis Potosi, Mexico. A “ganga” like we say in Spanish. (they were really affordable)
Zara Blazer. This Spanish brand is in the top 10 of my shopping list. I wish we had a bigger store here in Dallas. I purchased this one in Aguascalientes, Mexico, during my visit there last year and I love it. Fabric is great, and the color just gives me the opportunity to wear it almost with anything.
Original Penguin Polo Shirt. Online. I’ve become an online shopping addict because of them. I buy their stuff  at least once every two weeks. I can’t resist the vintage feeling of it. I love how I can match their items with other brands to create my own vintage/preppy/dapper style.
American Apparel bow tie. Found it at Northpark. I usually go to the one on Mockingbird St. The store is bigger and the window display looks so much better.
H&M Conscious collection shorts. Thank God I asked my parents to send me abroad to study English, otherwise I wouldn’t have come across with H&M. I discover a massive H&M store in downtown Toronto, Canada in summer 2006, and I’ve been a faithful shopper since then. So you could imagine my excitement when I heard we were going to have not only one but several stores here in Dallas. Bought this one at the Galleria location last Saturday. (I knew I will need them soon)
H&M boat shoes. I got invited to the H&M VIP Opening party at the Galleria a couple weeks ago. So of course, I had take advantage of their 25% of the entire store. This Spring/Summer is all about color, so this are perfect to stay in trend.

“Dress to impress.” Whether I’m going to hit the gym, grocery shopping, dinner with friends or a fashion event: I must always look stylish before I leave home. “You never know who you might run into,” so I only have one chance to make a GREAT first impression.

No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you – this is the Brad Goreski in the flesh! We had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Mr. Pop of Color himself yesterday at the Brooks Brothers book signing event in Dallas.

Of course, we had to get some Mosey! shots of his outfit and the details first. His hot pink blazer was a show stopper, and he didn’t disappoint, donning his signature bow tie and glasses. Speaking of bow ties, we gave Brad the ultimate “Texas” bow tie – a bolo (see below) to remember us Mosey! girls by. We had a giggle over that.

After the gushing and gift giving, the interview began. I had about 8 minutes left to gab with the style icon that I’ve loved for years. We chatted about what it’s like being an entrepreneur (best advice: delegate, he says), Kate Spade (there’s lots of cute stuff coming out, he promises) and how to get men to be more into fashion. One of my favorite things he said while we talked was that people don’t dress up anymore – that as children we have this fantasy to want to dress up and have fun with clothing. He encourages everyone – men and women – to have fun with clothes and enjoy dressing up. It’s what’s fun about fashion.

I’m so happy to say that as we talked, I found him to be exactly as I hoped – genuine, down to earth, charming, and appreciative of his family and friends. Of course, the interview wouldn’t have been complete without mention of Gary, whom Anna and I both adore, as well. Oh, and that show-stopping performance of Les Mis in their backyard.

Brad signed all of our books (that’s our stack below) with a different personal sentiment, which I found to be very endearing, proving further that he has sincere appreciation for his fans and how far he has come. All in all, it was the perfect evening. One us Mosey! gals will surely never forget.

Chadwick Bell. If you don’t know his name yet, you certainly soon will. His clothes have been spotted on Elizabeth Banks, Lucy Liu, and Vera Farmiga. He’s currently taking his collection around the US and showcasing his pieces in trunk shows at stores like Neiman Marcus and Stanley Korshak in Dallas. We met up with him at Stanley Korshak on his stop in the Big D to talk about his beginnings, inspiration, his take on street style, Dallas women, and – of course – where the best BBQ and Mexican Food is in the D/FW.

When asked what kind of woman he designs for, he simply replied, “the kept woman with a life on the side.” Brilliant. Keeping that kept woman in mind, Bell designs his clothes with immaculate detail to tailoring and structure. His pieces, he believes, will last a lifetime in your closet. He loved the idea of a mother passing his work down through generations – giving each piece new life as its owner makes it their own. Bell relishes in the idea of women making clothing work for them – tailoring the clothes to fit their personalities, bodies, and needs.

Growing up in California, Bell comes from a family of carpenters. At a young age he met his business partner, Vanessa Webster, and they have been quite the duo ever since. Together in 2007, they started the design house that we see today. It was humble beginnings – living together in Queens, working tirelessly for their dream. It was on those rides on the subway from Manhattan to Queens that Bell began noticing street style culture, or “thug culture” as he refers. It was the over-sized hoodies and attitude of those he observed that inspired him to mix cultures in his designs. “Fashion is where you can create a fantasy that you live in,” said Bell, as he described his passion for the craft and what he does. “You can change culture with fashion.” So true, as he named pieces and designers, like Alexander Wang, that changed the course of culture and what we wear throughout the years.

Bell walked us through his collection, pointing out stories that inspired the clothing, and details that were so meticulous, one could easily see why these pieces would last a generation. His passion for what he does was so clear, I am certain Chadwick Bell will continue to have a career for decades to come. He’s certainly off to an incredible start.

The dress Elizabeth Banks wore to the 2012 Vanity Fair Oscars Party (hands down, my favorite piece – those feathers are all sewn on by hand – a feat he said took days to complete).

Business partner, Vanessa Webster

All in all, Anna and I left so invigorated – both by Vanessa and Chadwick’s warm personas, and also the fact that they’re so young and passionate and going places. Keep watching Chadwick Bell. He’s a designer to note.
