A typical Hollywood evening – picturesque views of an eclectic hillside, twilight sun warming a poolside deck, and beautifully eccentric people mingling about. This is a usual Thursday night at The Standard Hotel, a night hosted by our very own CC Sheffield and the Le Rev Revue.
CC bounces about with her little dog KiKi in tow. She starts the evening spinning some tunes and working the crowd into the ever so cool Cactus Lounge. Filling the room is one style cat after another, and you can’t help but notice every last detail of what the girl next to you is wearing. This is Hollywood, and in this room CC is queen!
A parade of musicians take the stage, each one endearingly introduced by their friend CC. After hearing a mix of croons – she finally takes the stage. Her voice fills the room and you know you are in for a ride – she is uninhibited and irresistible – just as she should be, she is after all The Lady of the Night.
Nicole Simone, Style Cat and Performer for the evening!

She is the Fashion Features Associate at the fabulous Lucky Magazine, a magazine that takes pride in the staff’s sense of style (check out their daily outfit posts!).
She has a cool-relaxed look that still says chic. She plays with masculine pieces such as boyfriend jeans and an over-sized plaid shirt, but keeps it girly with dainty florals and soft delicate dresses. Her preference for boots twist any look into a “country-girl” takes on the big city!
She is Kathryn Irby, our QUIKSILVER WOMAN OF THE WEEK. To pull off her effortless style try the QSW Durban Shirt and the Mozambique shorts.

Taking pictures of you makes me want to eat tabbouleh.
We invited six of the top fashion bloggers to preview the Quiksilver Women’s spring line and style their own photo shoot. The photographer, Matt Wignall, was the one who captivated my attention. He works with Cold War Kids and other notable bands and his work is brilliant. This is what Wignall, a self-proclaimed “social lemon,” had to say about working with models. (He’s actually a good guy.)

The calendar is flying by and though spring is the first thing on the mind, don’t forget that summer is around the corner. Summer brings long lazy days, travels abroad and adventures around each corner.
To introduce this time of year and the fashion that comes with it, we went once again to the LA “It Girls” for inspiration.
Krystal
Krystal channels a hippie happy girl from the 70’s with her floral crown singing the tunes of the summer to come. She layered the Quiksilver Monaco Jacket over the La Luz cami, all tucked into her high-waisted bell bottom jeans.
Hannah
Hannah creates a vintage-inspired look all her own in the Quiksilver Masai sleeveless dress. The details of her “bee-hive” hat and kitten heels make this all so fun and flirty.
Karla
Karla designs a timelessly-chic look mixing the Quiksilver Queenstown babydoll tank with contrasting skinny trousers. She adds her own dramatic flare with a floppy hat and statement shoes.
Beth
Beth dreams up a chic city vibe layering the Quiksilver Monaco jacket over the Loveland Army tee. She kept it sassy with a high-waisted sequin bandage skirt and piles of jewelry.
Rachel
Rachel paints the romantic essence of summer in the Quiksilver Lake Victoria dress. She gave it a contemporary twist with her bandage-like heels.
Taghrid
Taghrid pops in the Quiksilver Brits Fleece tunic. She gives the look a high fashion punch with her towering heels.

The month of April is all about new life – green covers the once bare trees of winter, pops of color sprout from the ground and our closets get turned around. Soft pastels and sherbet tones mix in with florals and stripes – it is all so fresh and exciting!
This month’s styling tips are all about bringing zest to your daily look using the colors of spring!
Tip #1 – It is spring, embrace color and try the bold and bright Minnie Skinny Jeans.
Tip #2 – For a beautiful spring day spent in the sun, layer the Salinas Cardigan over your boho look.
Tip #3 – Choose the girly and feminine Palma Tunic for your pretty tough look.

She is currently the Senior Style Editor at Elle magazine. She has a wicked sense of style that consists of grey, black, grey, white and grey. She does menswear-chic better than the men of GQ. Her signature platinum locks and razor sharp cut keep things modern. She is the definition of effortless – a few layered classic pieces, skinnies or harem pants, and killer shoes.
She is Kate Lanphear, our QUIKSILVER WOMAN OF THE WEEK. Channel the menswear-chic look in QSW’s Western Cape Boyfriend Jeans.

The Big Apple got a big dose of Quiksilver Women’s last week at the QSW Mercer Trunk Show. If you didn’t know QSW Mercer is the new hotspot in the heart of Soho where you can find loads of beautiful dresses, slouchy tomboy tees and tanks, and skinny jeans ready to be made yours.
The QSW Mercer Trunk Show not only showcased the new Spring line but also added in everything else a girl could want. Lori Epner, designer of the vintage-inspired jewelry line CLEEO had everyone craving to be iced. MD Skincare handed out products.. and mini-facials! To top it all off TY KU mixed together a fabulous vodka sake drink no one could resist.
It was a usual fabulous New York City night – fashion, facials and fun. What more could a girl ask for?
