Exclusive interview with Ashley Ann, designer of Myne

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

As owner of Lilac And Lilies, buying is an important element of the job. I literally could view over 100 different collections per season. Myne is one of those collections that excites me season after season. Ashley Ann’s pieces are beautifully made using the finest materials. Her style is fun, flirty and feminine. So during my recent trip to Los Angeles, I was determined to secure an exclusive interview with Ashley Ann, designer of Myne.

I met Ashley in downtown LA at her studio to get a sneak peak at her 2010 summer collection. The line consists of bright colors like lemonade, pink nuoveau, strawberry and dodger blue. The silhouettes are perfect for those hot summer nights. I especially loved the maxi dress and romper. Ashley took the line to a new edge by incorporating belts with some of the new styles… I loved the color contrast!

Please click on the link below for chance to preview the collection as well! Myne is available at Lilac And Lilies or LilacAndLilies.com. Feel free to leave comments as I always love to read what you have to say.

L.A. Adventure

LA Day 1:

After arriving yesterday in LA I promptly headed to Robertson Blvd to get some inspiration for Lilac And Lilies. I couldn’t sleep last night because I have so many ideas! Today I have an exclusive interview with Ashley Ann, designer for Myne. This will be filmed then uploaded on our blog and YouTube.

I did some serious buying for Lilac And Lilies today. I promise you are going to LOVE what I bought for the store and website. LA has a unique style that I can’t wait to bring to you.
It is much different then NYC in the sense that all the showrooms were grouped together in three main buildings which was great. I shopped The Cooper Design Space and The New Mart.
The highlights from the day I would have to say were meeting Ashley Ann, designer for Myne and Carsten Schlamovitz, designer and owner of Love Shop. Tomorrow I am headed off to meet and mingle with the celebs at The Golden Globe gift lounge and hand out Gift card to LilacAndLilies.com!

LA Day 2:

Celebrities LOVE Lilac And Lilies!!!!! Today was an amazing day from start to finish. I met with celebrity stylist Kristen Turner for coffee at King’s Road Cafe then headed off to The Gloden Globe gift lounge. Audrina Partridge from The Hills said she is a HUGE fan of designers Black Halo and Yumi Kim. Felicity Huffman mentioned one of her favorites is Rebecca Taylor. Stephanie Pratt is a huge fan of Parker while Amber Herd loved just about all the vendors we carry. I was also excited to met Bridget from The Girls Next Door, she is so nice and so was Ashley Jones from True Blood, love that show. What an Amazing Day!

LA Day 3:

Day 3 has turned out to be another amazing day!!! I got the opportunity to hand out more LilacAndLilies.com gift cards to celebs like Jennie Garth from 90210, Jessica Weixler from Medium, Chelsie Hightower from Dancing With The Stars, and Paris Hilton and they are all looking forward to shopping at LilacAndLilies.com!!! Gilles Marini from Sex in The City and DWTS even came by to say hello too and he made sure to pick up a gift card for his wife.

Tomorrow I am resuming my search for unique LA designers. I have a whole list of showrooms and studios that I have not even seen yet. It will be a fun adventure and I cannot wait to get back to FL to show all of our Lilac And Lilies fans what’s in store for this spring.

Note to self….NEVER wear Louboutins to an 8 hour event again. What we do for shoes……

Please leave your comments as I always love to read your feedback. Stay tuned for more to follow tomorrow. Also check out more photos on our Facebook fan page! ( http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=139701&id=84505693461#/lilacandliliesboutique)

Until Next Time,

Celebs Love Lilac And Lilies

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

I never know what to expect when I walk into Lilac And Lilies every morning. Yesterday, I got a phone call stating that Amber Heard, an up and coming actress from movies like Pineapple Express and Stepfather, was in town. She was attending an event with Virgin America and needed someone to style her for the evening. I of course jumped at the chance. Kelli and I googled some of Amber’s red carpet looks, to get a feel for her style. We found her looks to be young, hip and have a glamorous 50’s type vibe. We started pulling looks from designers like Yoana Baraschi, Black Halo, yumi Kim, Myne and Madison Marcus.

After I was all packed up and ready to go, I headed down to South Beach to meet Amber for a private fitting. Amber immediately fell in love with the Riley Dress by Myne. This is an amazing dress and my favorite part is the back, where there are cutout elements and an exposed zipper, very classy. Next, we accessorized with a clutch by Alexis Hudson. Amber truly looked fabulous!

So now we can say that celebrities love Lilac And Lilies, here’s the proof!!!

until next time,

Michelle
