from the editor As we began stitching this issue together, we came across an overarching theme that seems to be the buzz phrase of the moment: buy local. From our vendors to our student writers and designers to our models, everything has roots in Lexington.

This issue is jam-packed with incredible photography, stories and tips all revolving around the amazing city in which we live. We had the opportunity to partner with four locations unique to Lexington for our shoots – a bistro, a bookstore, a fitness studio and a grocery store (yes, you read that right). And we teamed up with Alex McLean, Lexington native, NYC dweller and editor of fashion blog LexWhatWear, to bring you inspiration for styling our top spring trends.

We also got to work with some of the driving forces behind Kentucky’s locavore movement – Shop Local Kentucky, who’s Instagram following jumped almost overnight to 20,000, and My Kentucky Tee, a tee shirt subscription service (think Birchbox for Kentucky merch) intent on spreading Commonwealth pride.

As we step into spring, the season of all things fresh and new, it’s important to remember the people and places around you. The boutiques and vintage shops are trés chic, as are the local eateries, coffee shops and green spaces.

Get out and explore your city, Wildcats.

Think what you will, local is here to stay.

monochromatic Monochrome is and will continue to be a personal favorite fashion trend of mine. Black and white is clear cut, easy style. From tops to bottoms and everything in between, monochrome is more versatile than ever and looking quite bright for spring ’15.

In the season ahead, this sleek style will embrace many other it-list trends. On the runways, we saw monochrome take on gingham prints, statement shirt collars, bold stripes, masculine influences and transparency designs. To me this is a huge step for the fashion industry. Anyone and everyone, from your all-American girls to your fashion moguls, can play with trends right from the runway and weave them into the real world.

My top tips for trying the monochrome trend is to wear pieces that fit your body. Black and white can be forgiving, but you don’t want it to send the wrong message. Wear pieces that flow and flatter your shape and style. I often need to find balance between structured bottoms and oversized tops. I tend to rely

ALEX MCLEAN lex what wear

How did you get the idea to do a fashion blog?

I had followed blogs long before the blogger-surge, and I would refer to them often. Although there were only a few fashion blogs out at that time, I had a daily routine in place that allowed me to follow their outfits, inspiration and style tips. Then a coworker mentioned the idea of starting her own blog. I often sat with her as we would talk through her ideas, and I remember feeling excited and almost envious of her new adventure. As her blog went live, I knew I could absolutely do it, too. She was an inspiration for me and set the bar very high. When she later approached me about starting a sister-blog to her year-old website, I was all in immediately. At that point I had studied and researched every outlet I could. I knew what I had to do to make it successful and FUN for myself. When I launched in August of 2011, I had no idea it would become what it has.

How has living in New York City changed your perceptions of

Fashion in New York is very much like an individual sport.

It takes practice and it takes a lot of who you are to make a “winning” look. Style here is not gimmicky. To be honest, I feel like good NYC style is more scrappy. You gotta pick up those pieces in your wardrobe and create the look you want. It’s never overdone here; no caked on makeup and sky-high hair. It’s more about finding the right elements of your style and building a foundation to build on.

What tips can people living outside New York City pick up from the NYC fashion scene? (In other words, how can NYC fashion be practical fashion for the average person?)

Most of the looks and styles you see in magazines and on television cost a fortune. Fashion advertising can often make

navy Navy is unmistakably the NEW black for the spring/summer season. After a stunning appearance on fashion’s biggest runways, this powerful color is having a major moment at the top of the trend list. Added bonus: Styling navy with your current wardrobe is incredibly easy!

I prefer a more tailored navy look (i.e., suit separates, structured blouses, pleated skirts, etc.). I see it as a classic color that pairs perfectly with bright shades like orange and pink. When paired with a pop of color, a navy blazer suits my style best.

I took many notes from the spring runways for unique wasy to style navy in the season ahead. For starters, a navy maxi dress will never fail you. Secondly, an all-navy look is not too much; it’s head-to-toe perfection. Lastly, when all else fails, navy is the most reliable preppy color. Whether you tend to lean more nautical or more Southern belle, you can’t go wrong with the must-have color.

polka dot Considered one of the strongest trends for the coming season, polka dots are already making a notable appearance at celebrity red carpet events, on the covers of top fashion magazines and in spring/summer 2015 collections for namesake brands such as Dolce & Gabbana. Polka dots have survived multiple decades in fashion, yet they remain relevant and cool.

For the warmer days ahead, I see polka dots playing a huge part in both corporate and casual dressing. When paired with converse sneakers, a boyfriend jean and a light jacket, they can be cute and simple. If you pair your polka dots with a fitted pant, culottes or a pencil skirt, they become sleek and sophisticated. I’d suggest a solid cardigan or blazer to top off your professional polka dot look.

The final key note to making this trend part of your wardrobe is to find the right piece - something that adheres to your style sense and personality. A print should not wear you, you should wear the print - and wear it well. Don’t be afraid to have a little fun and seek some inspiration from Pinterest, style magazines and, of course, your favorite bloggers.

Each brand locally sources its wares, has a pretty hefty social media following (what’s up millenials!) and finds a way to give back to the Lexington community.

Here’s the even better part – they’re affordable! What better way to show your Kentucky pride than by wearing locally made apparel? Here, we give you a peek inside what it takes to make Kentucky Proud happen.
