New Sponsorship!

Who doesn’t love uncovering information on something you thought you knew? We certainly do! That is why we are super thrilled to be a sponsor for the upcoming play featuring the untold story of Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra.

Opening night is April 30th in Beverly Hills with later dates following in New York, London, and Scotland! More information and tickets can be found here: Marilyn & Sinatra

We were so fortunate to hang out with the two stars of the play, Erin Gavin and Jeff Bratz, while also shooting an impromptu photoshoot on Hollywood Blvd. Check out some of the shots below!

2016: Power In Individuality

Another year has passed. I am all kinds of dizzy from the speed that time has. Let us revel in it.

Several new items have been added to the official VULGAR CITIZEN website. More pop up boutiques are on the horizon since quite frankly, they are such a joy to be a part of and I love meeting all of you face to face. We are slowly shifting to more in-person events since our positive feedback has been particularly strong in that area.

VULGAR CITIZEN will always have a home online especially because that is where this company built its foundation. However, I want to see where else this boutique can go. We are not one of the many and will continue to do all that we can to set VULGAR CITIZEN apart. Our brand culture is strong, diverse, honest, audacious, human, and exclusive. If you are a VULGAR CITIZEN, I welcome you to join us for the growth of something truly special.

I am overwhelmed by the flood of boutiques out there. So many refer to the same quotes, post the same photos, and even sell the same clothes. I refuse for this brand to follow suit. I refuse for this company to do what so many others are doing. Our path has been and will continue to be unique. This may mean our dominance will take longer but the journey to that destination has already been so much sweeter.

VULGAR CITIZEN Launch Event!

It has been a week since the official launch event for VULGAR CITIZEN and I am still on cloud nine. To all who came and celebrated with us, thank you, thank you, thank you! The turnout was amazing and I am thrilled that this vision of mine has finally been realized. I could explain everything but would much rather show you with some of the amazing video and photos that came from this celebration.

An extra special thank you to LTMFTv for covering the launch and helping us share what VULGAR CITIZEN is all about!

Huge thanks to Diabolo Beverages for providing the delicious mixers. And much love to photographer Tim Clark and fashion blogger, Miss Blizzers for capturing these moments. Miss Blizzers also did a wonderful write up about our launch here: http://missblizzers.com/store-launch-vulgar-citizen/

New Interview + New Photoshoots + New Collections

I was fortunate enough to be interviewed about my inspiration for starting VULGAR CITIZEN. Anytime I have the opportunity to share how this business came about I jump on it because I hope it will inspire others to do the same. I also discussed my past as a fashion model and gave advice for those who are pursuing that same path.

2015

Can you believe it? The new year is here and has already begun to bloom. I have been working hard to ensure that the brand new VULGAR CITIZEN website will showcase all that this brand has to offer. In the meantime, the original website is still active and the official VULGAR CITIZEN Etsy page also has select items available. Check back often for the latest updates, products, and news as there are many changes on the way. The start of 2015 will bring brand new never-before-seen tops, bottoms, dresses, and accessories! I am thrilled to say that we are down to the last bit of stock for current VULGAR CITIZEN clothing and jewelry. Be sure to grab a piece of this inventory while you can because no items will be restocked. Some of the latest products that are almost sold out are below and are available on both the original VULGAR CITIZEN website and Etsy page! Click directly on the photos for more information or to purchase.

The Times They Are A Changin’

As I look back on 2014, I think about just how much has happened with this brand, boutique, and business. The VULGAR CITIZEN website officially launched on February 27 of this year. Since that time we have sold out of 26 super unique items, worked with 14 amazing models, shot with 4 incredible photographers, planned and executed 7 dynamic pop-up boutiques, and launched partnerships with 3 major online platforms. To say that I am thrilled with this progress is a total understatement. The road to this point has been unbelievably challenging but even more rewarding as a result.

Almost 10 months have passed since VULGAR CITIZEN made its official introduction to the world and I am excited to know that this journey has just begun. 2015 will bring an ample amount of new items, ideas, and innovation. First on the list: a brand new VULGAR CITIZEN website! I am currently rebuilding the website to incorporate many of the things that will make shopping with us an even more pleasurable experience. I am also expanding the staff to guarantee that as VULGAR CITIZEN grows the right people are right there with me infusing this company with cutting edge creativity. More pop up boutiques are on the horizon to allow customers the opportunity to touch, feel, and see up-close the great quality of VULGAR CITIZEN items.

These last 10 months, and more specifically, these last 2 years since I decided to build this business have already built a roadmap for where I want this company to go. There’s much more happening that I can’t announce quite yet but please believe it will be worth the wait. I want to thank absolutely everyone that has had a hand in just how far VULGAR CITIZEN has come in such a short period of time. From friends and family who have provided nonstop support, to customers from all over the world, and those who have just taken the time to give advice and suggestions – I am beyond grateful.

2014 was incredible. 2015 will be remarkable. Mark my words.

Etsy Love

Great news: VULGAR CITIZEN is now on Etsy and will be able to reach an entirely new market of customers with this platform. Select products will be added to the Etsy Shop while the original VULGAR CITIZEN website will still carry everything. Super excited for this expansion and the new demographic that this will bring to the brand and boutique in general.

The majority of items added to the Etsy Shop are the last of their kind and will not be restocked so grab while you can!
