IRL: Style, issue 11
Crosby Noricks - Height: 5'6"What do you do IRL?
I am the founder of PR Couture (www.prcouture.com), a successful blog about all things Fashion PR, Social Media Strategist for Red Door Interactive in San Diego, CA, intermittent kitten foster mama with the Rosebud Society, semi-motivated hula hooping trickster learner, hearts and unicorns and feathers and photo booth photo collector. The kind of lady that takes a trip to NYC with her BFF to celebrate my my recent birthday and putting things on the agendy like jet-lagged soggy
adventures to Greenpoint to visit HH in person, throwing an impromptu PR Couture party with Smashing Darling and Nolcha, and dressing up like a silver mermaid in the pouring rain at the Coney Island Mermaid Parade.

Why did you choose this look?
Perhaps it was arriving at HH in the pouring rain rather soaked through, but I loved the decadent feeling of this silk dress, as well as its twirl potential and unique style. There was no way I was not going to wear a gold feather crown, so it was an added bonus that the two went well together. Having a bit of an obsession with the color gray, and loving flat boots, I paired the ensemble with the riding boots and added some extra accessories, well, just because I could! It's the kind of outfit I dream about the whole world wearing just for kicks, on the way to the grocery store or at the park.

Marie Rounsavell - Height: 6'
What do you do IRL?
By day, I'm a technical writer for a great big staffing company. I write business proposals and responses for requests from public and government entities. Despite sounding like a total snoozer, this job that allows me to travel all over the country hunting down new opportunities to put people to work and it can be really rewarding. By night (and by weekend and pretty much all the time in the back of my mind) I am thinking about indie arts and crafts and the handmade movement. I used to do a lot more writing on the subject and am working on a relaunch of that effort later this summer.

Why did you choose this look?
I know everyone wears it here on IRL, but I just love this dress! I have to throw on some leggings because it's short on me, but I could see wearing this sans leggings with something a teeny bit longer, fluffier, and brighter underneath. My work adventures sometimes put a damper on my bright and fluffy looks, but I can't help standing out in a room of government contractors, so why bother! In a heartbeat, I'd keep the bobbles and bright bag, and wear this dress like long top with some wide leg pants. Speaking of shoes these are fab! Super comfy and just the right height.
What she’s wearing:
- HELENA Wrap Dress, Black $324
- HAVANA Large Hobo, Lagoon $498
- JOEY Wide Cuff, Black Crinkle Patent $80
- ATHENA Cuff, black $66
- GREENPOINT Cork Wedge, Black/grey $228
- brandish "krash" pick ring*, $80
- dot iris headband $17
