Urban Alley - Fashion With a Meaning
Don't you love fashion that has a meaning behind it? Well, the new line of urban street-wear from Urban Alley is definitely one of those brands that has a MEANING behind it. Each of the t-shirt represents a civil rights movement of history. It's a piece of art, a piece of knowledge and a piece of history which allowed us to be where we are today.
The idea for the line is brilliant. When shopping through all the different designs, you get the story behind the movement. When wearing one of these pieces you are supporting that piece of history and that important movement. And you know how I barely ever talk about men's clothing here at Aspiring Couture (which should be changing soon!) Well, there is plenty of a men's line here for sure!
"Dwain Young and Brian Thomas created the Resistance line to memorialize important events in history, spark dialogue and spread cultural consciousness. “Our clothes are walking history lessons, paying tribute to events that changed the future and make us who we are today. The Resistance line is all about the shared history that
many of us have forgotten or never knew. Urban Knowledge Street Wear is not just a clothing line, it is a movement.”
There you have it! A walking history lesson. I love all the different ways fashion can be used as a means to communicate to the world.Check out Urban Alley to be part of the movement!

Classy Cocktails
This week, grab all your girlfriends to get glammed up for a night of classy cocktails. For a chic look, we really love this one shoulder, silk runway look from JLINSNIDER (which is available on her etsy!), paired with the glamourous teal beads of Elva Fields. Add some more sass with these to-die-for gold Moschino pumps, a crystal cuff from Kenneth Jay Lane and a smudge of red/coral lipstick from Sephora.

Happy First Birthday Aspiring Couture!
1 year ago today, I was sitting in virtually the same spot working my little butt off during the launch of Aspiring Couture. I was thrilled with the amazing feedback, and so excited about all that was to come. Here was my little idea rolling around in my head, and all of the sudden (well, after much hard work of myself and Ian) here it was being shown to the world. It was quite the day for me.
Before then, I spent lots of late nights on my computer making the boutique just perfect for the launch. I was blogging every day and just getting into this new world that I had never been exposed to until then. It really was just the beginning!
In the past year I have seen the steady growth of Aspiring Couture, including two very successful runway shows! I have met tons of great people, and been able to connect up with a large part of the fashion world.
Aspiring Couture has also helped as a launching pad for my various other endeavors including Engaged and Inspired, a wedding blog turned event design company, writing for 5 various blogs/online magazines on a weekly basis, creating and working on the launch of a new product, etc. Aspiring Couture really is where it all began.
I want to thank everyone who for all of the amazing support. What keeps me going is that I know I am talking to YOU. Your love, kind words, and everything else you bring is why I am here right now. Thank you for being here, whether you were here 1 year ago watching the launch, or you are a new-comer to Aspiring Couture.
Happy first birthday Aspiring Couture. I hope to see many more very successful birthdays to come from you!

Color Me Couture
What color dress do you want? Well, apparently you can pick whatever colors you want, and make your own dress design! Is this a concept you could really get behind or is this something that you would probably not want to have anything to do with??
I don't know that I want to be responsible for the color coordination of my garments...but then again, maybe I could switch it up to match whatever awesome shoes I wanted to wear. That would be an extremely useful idea for sure!
What way are you going? Of course you would buy, or no way jose!
