Due to the huge popularity of animal print this fall we are doing a double feature on this trend!
Here are some fabulous and unique animal print accessories that we couldn’t help but get excited over! Every woman must have one of these in her wardrobe.
Last year we hit on how hot skinny belts were going to be a staple in the fall lineup, and this year these Leighelena belts are definitely on our must have list. Classic yet individualistic, we are ready to pair with a long cardigan or over a simple sheath dress.
“Fall is all about strong accessories and this brand hits it out of the park. These bracelets feature bold color pallets and interesting execution – I love the metal detailing on the buckle…and cannot wait to add these bold pieces to my fall staples!” -Erin Creaney, owner Studio-808

Recessionista Style – Cafe Magazine March 2009
Happy Friday!
We are excited to share a recent article by Marla Seidell in this month’s issue of Cafe Magazine highlighting Studio-808 and our view of Recessionisa Fashion and a fav designer, Orlando Espinoza!
Cafe Magazone - March 2009 by Marla Seidell
“Recessionista Style, Quality over quantity is key to looking chic in this economic crunch…How to save money but look fabulous is solved in a pinch: become a recessionista. The first step is learning how to shop smart.”
“Think Classic and Multifunctional: But remember this need so to be time honered, not trendy and made of long-lasting material. These elements make a piece a wardrobe builder that ultimately saves you money down the road.”
“Becoming a recessionista means building your wardrobe from the ground up and buying key pieces that can work together to create great looks. You need at least three beautiful dresses in your wardrobe, and work from there, advises Espinoza.”
“A bit of personality: A finshing touch or subtle embelishment or details that make it yours – and don’t be afraid to mix and match designers!”

Studio-808, Inc. is the brainchild of Erin Creaney, a PR executive with a near-athletic enthusiasm for emerging designers. Finding herself searching the city for great designers with new and different looks, she knew a larger operation was in order. What's more, she felt the world needed to know about the fashion percolating in the Windy City. Thus was born Studio-808.com.
