HOP SING VIBES... with Breanna!

Silk embroidered tunic - Odd Molly, cutoff shorts - Free People • hand-rubbed vintage distressed boots - BedStÜ
I haven't known this stunning and ethereal beauty for long, but her "beyond-her-age fashion savvy" is what drew her into my world. At only 18 years old she exudes an honest, fluid and natural self-expression that many woman twice her age lack. In this day and age, so many young women are buying into cheap and disposable trendy fashions; Breanna has an appreciation for high quality and design that belies her age.  She chooses wisely and invests in truly special pieces when she can afford the opportunity.  

She is remarkable!

Name: Breanna Burkizer
Place of birth: Glendale, Arizona
Age: 18


Describe your "signature look"...
My signature look would have to be messy hair, winged eyeliner, and red lipstick.


Who or what inspires you?
Surrealism, music, photography, and nature inspires me most to be who I am.


What makes you feel beautiful?
I feel most beautiful when I have my makeup the way I love it, and when I'm wearing things that make me feel confident and cute.


Name an item of clothing you can't live without...
I cannot live without cute summer dresses and denim shorts.

"...anything from Wildfox- so worth it because nothing makes you feel as cute and comfortable!" - Breanna


The biggest splurge in your closet
The biggest splurge in my closet would have to be anything from Wildfox- but they are so worth it because nothing makes you feel as cute and comfortable!

The biggest waste of money in your closet...
The biggest waste would have to be these very unflattering sparkly jeans I bought in Chicago. I didn't really want them, but the sales associate pushed me into getting them.


What's the most memorable piece of clothing you've worn, and what made it special?The most memorable piece of clothing I've worn is the dress I wore to my graduation.  It was so beautiful and vintage, I felt like a 40's pin up girl in it- which is one of my favorite looks.

What's your guilty pleasure/something you can't resist?

My guilty pleasure would have to be the amount of candy I have.  I actually bought a 4 pound tub of redvines for myself yesterday. Oops!

What is your beauty/skincare routine?
The most important part of my skin care routine would be making sure all my makeup is off at night. I use the clarisonic brush to get everything off, and then follow it up with toner and moisturizer.


What has been the biggest surprise about the age you are now?
The biggest surprise about being 18 is realizing that being 18 does not make you a grown up, unlike I always thought when I was younger.

"Everything you have ever done has brought you to the moment you are in right now." - Breanna


Please share the best advice you've ever received?
The best advice I've received is being told to truly live in the moment. To clear the noise in my head, look at everything that is around me, and take it all in and be completely aware, because you only get one life and if you aren't enjoying every second you'll end up regretting it.


Do you believe in destiny?
I do believe in destiny, I believe everything happens for a reason, and that everything you have ever done has brought you to the moment you are in right now. That is truly something to appreciate and recognize.

What's next for you?
What's next for me is to continue doing the things that I love and to immerse myself in everything that inspires me.  I know that will take me somewhere great.













Thank you Breanna, you inspire us!

Oh what fun!

                                       
A week ago DeLovely Cosmetic Apothecary hosted a fantastic event at their chic Granite St. location. 


Guests were invited to enjoy an evening centered around bareMinerals cosmetics makeovers, and Hop Sing Fashions. We were so excited and a tiny bit nervous to bring the fashions to a venue that would be very intimate without overwhelming the space with our presence. So, I set my mind to the task of "how to do it small scale, but with a dynamic twist" and came up with a unique approach to a "fashion show" concept.  We arrived with one full rack of clothing and three lovely models, all three required different styling tweaks due to age and/or height. Lets just say it was a mini style challenge! One rack of clothing to be used on all three models, but styled to best suit each one individually. 




Normally in a fashion presentation the audience sees one look, once. In this case we were showing the same pieces but in different ways and on different body types. It could have been a disaster, but thankfully it was a success! The feedback from the models surpassed my expectations. Look after look was received with women recognizing the items from earlier looks and gasping their approval! Many of the ladies were pleasantly surprised by how the same item could be styled so differently and look so right on each of the different models. For me deciding what items to bring to the event felt a bit like figuring out a Rubik's cube but in the end it all came together quite effortlessly.




We used many different pieces from our favorite contemporary brands, Free People, Odd Molly, Desigual, Hard Tail, Chaser and more, and of course our amazing footwear and accessories to complete the looks and all played so well together! 

I'm going to look forward to the next time we have the opportunity to do it again, hope you'll come too!

Halloween Costume Inspiration

Hop Sing! It's almost Halloween! And you better have a killer costume. I've gathered some inspiration for you below. 







All these costumes are amazing...but another thing all of these woman have in common is their confidence! Most of all, whatever your costume, put a smile on your face (well maybe a "Halloween" look in this case ;)) and stand up straight. Own that costume because you look great! 

The next images I pulled from this great blog called, The Lovely Undergrad. For more inspiration, click on the link. Her blog is great!  









That's it for today folks! Have a wonderful spooky-ookie, candy- filled Halloween!
