#FF friends of StyleDefinedNYC 002: Effie Liu
We admit it. We’ve been fans of Effie Liu for awhile now. Yes, she has the best pink hair anyone could ask for, but she also has infectious energy and crazy talent. So obvi this made her at the top of our list for our Instagram project. In her own words, this is what she’s been up to recently:
Basically, I do the sweet lady vox and hype girling in a very funky electro / new jack swing band called French Horn Rebellion. Bebe Panthere is my funky-punky solo project that is currently in the works, but you should be on the look out for it by the end of the year! :)
Be sure to follow her on instagram @bebepanthere

98C South 4th St Brooklyn,
Oh Olivia!
A fur vest over a short sleeved top is one fashion forward way to deal with this unusually cool spring. Love the MiuMiu heels and the Jill Stuart bag. But love even more that the amazing metallic green color of the bag is actually fabric paint that Olivia used to turn a blah beige bag into an accessory that really pops!
NYC Creature of the Night
Opening Ceremony + Amex = One Great Event
Last Thursday Opening Ceremony and American Express had a special event with the opportunity to pre-order the OC fall collection as well as get 20% off everything else with an Amex card. It was invite only, but StyleDefined NYC did a giveaway and two winners were selected to attend and get a $50 Amex Giftcard to use towards their purchases.
Abigail & Emily aka The Wanderlust Girls were one of the winners. (well technically Emily was the winner but since they share everything I think it was a “win win”!)
B Hawk (center) was the other winner!
Carol Lim, co-founder and CEO of Opening Ceremony who has such a-ma-zing style herself!
A selection of accessories from their Las Vegas inspired collection….as for what I got you’ll have to wait until next fall to see!

Pencil Skirt & Sneakers
I love this skirt. The sneakers? Well I think they’re the kind with hidden wedge heels which is a trend I just can’t get behind. But to be fair, they have a certain logic if you’re going to be running around the city all day.
Badass Overalls. REALLY
I have a confession to make: I have a love/hate relationship with a particular clothing item. The Overall. When I was 6 years old my grandmother got me and my favorite cousin who was a year younger matching railroad striped overalls. Riding around the neighborhood on our Big Wheels in our overalls we were seriously bad ass… as I got older girls over the age of 12 wearing overalls looked like they were trying too hard to look innocent/sexy –especially when they wore them with little bikini tops which is a look that induces major rolling of eyes by yours truly!
So when I see someone who is wearing them in a seriously bad ass way, my 6 year old self not only approves but secretly wonders if I could do it too…I don’t know. Either way: leather overalls with a fur? Brilliant. Really.
