Daydreaming About Guatemala
We're daydreaming about the lush lakes, colorful architecture, and beautiful people of Guatemala. We'll be revisiting the magical city of Antigua for an upcoming shoot and we couldn't be more thrilled. In the meantime, take a peek at our SS12 look book shot in Guatemala.

Homage to the Queens
We watched all of their videos and knew all of their songs. We pined to win contests to meet them on cruise ships. We learned everything we needed to know about being cute, sneaky, stylish and getting boys to talk to us. We grew up with them. From Full House, to their Adventure series, to such hits as Winning London, Billboard Dad, and A New York Minute, they are the queens and now full-fledged fashion icons in the front row of every runway show, with booming labels like The Row and Elizabeth & James. They are Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and today is their 27th birthday. Makes you feel old huh? Somehow it feels like just yesterday we were sitting in front of the TV obsessing over one of their films and trying to copy that feathered hair, bandana look they had down so well. Now Mary-Kate is the boho grunge girl of our dreams and Ashley has her look together like no one else. We google pictures of them when we don't know what to wear. We follow their labels religiously. They are Karl Lagerfelds sweethearts, they are America's sweethearts and they are all grown up. This is our homage to the twin queens of the fashion world: Mary-Kate and Ashley.

Summer Fashion Inspiration
Now that the unofficial first day of summer, Memorial Day, has passed we can get the ball rolling on perfecting our summer style. Summer is about freedom in fashion aka a look that is seemingly thrown together at the last minute. The Stela 9 girl wears her hair naturally, hanging in a loose braid or beach waves around her face. She is the embodiment of an Indian Summer, with a look that is perfectly carefree. Summer 2013 is all about leather, mismatched prints, overalls, stripes, midi and maxi skirts, pastels, neon, lace and crop tops. Here is a collection of looks and images that Stela 9 finds particularly inspiring to our personal summer style and our interpretation of the trends of the season.

Street Style Shots With Our Social Media Interns
Shots taken of our social media interns Sarah and Kelly this week. We're loving the way Sarah styled her Pacaya Crossbody with a chiffon kimino and rad pendant necklace while shopping on Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice Beach.
Kelly here takes the Krisha hobo on a record shopping spree at Hollywood landmark, Amoeba. We love the way she grunged up her bohemian look with cut offs and an army parka.
Keep checking back on our instagram (Stela_9) for more updates, street style shots, and travels.

Wear This DIY Fringe Sweater At Your Next Festival Appearance!
May is a confusing month weather-wise in most of America, even in our home base of Los Angeles. While yes, the weather is almost always perfect here, it can get confusing when it goes from a 75 degree day to dropping to the 60's by evening, making us wish we had brought a sweater. A fringed knit is ideal for in-between weather, capturing both our shivers and a vibrant summer spirit. Here at Stela 9 we are all about our fringe so this DIY fringed knit idea from a pair and a spare blog is too hard to resist. We're pretty sure we'll be rocking this fringe at our next festival appearance.
What You Need:
What You Need:
- A loose weave knit
- Scissors
- Leather/rope (we think leather works best)
1. Begin by cutting the leather into pieces around 1 yard long. Go for around 50 pieces.
2. To start fringing, fold a piece of your fringe material in half.
3. Loop it through the wool at the top middle near the neckline. Pull tight.
4. Continue with this down the side of the sweater in a triangle shape. You can mark the shape using chalk. Have a good playlist or a TV show on, because this part can take a while but the results are oh so worth it!
5. Finish by doing the other side, mirroring the pattern and angle.
And voila! The look is complete!
Pair this with some One Teaspoon cut off shorts, ankle boots, a Panama hat, and of course, your favorite Stela 9 bag!

Good luck and happy fringing!
