{ le launch }

November 17, 2010
thank you thank you THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the coach holiday launch party and said hello! i feel so fortunate to have been able to collaborate with them twice this year ~ everyone in the company is amazing and it’s always enormously fun!

i’m been consistently impressed by their genuine embrace of the blogging community ~ but still my jaw dropped when i learned that this campaign was being shot by no less than their creative director reed krakoff himself! getting to work with him was truly an honor (even more so because he was completely cool and dispelled my intimidation/terror the moment i walked on set ~ he said he loved seeing the bag i designed appear in this closet post!!).

sadly, nothing can annihilate my nervousness when a video camera is put in front of my face. watch the following awkwardness at your own risk…

…and make sure to stop by your local coach store this season (or click HERE!) to see the finished initiative in action!!

    I really enjoy seeing you in video. I've been reading your blog for SO long, it's nice to hear what you sound like and see your mannerisms. Just as elegant in video as you are in phots *L* The girls over at kingdomofstyle did some videos last year, and it was the same thing. so cool to see your favorite blogger in live action. good job!

    I've been reading your blog for a while now, so it's so fun to see you on camera and hear your voice! You have the cutest personality. loved it.

    I wish I could have gone, but I'm in LA. Tell them they should have an LA event and bring you along. Haha that would be fun.

    I've never been able to find the bag you designed for Coach online. I assume it sold out instantly, but do you know if it still available. The color, size, and shape are perfect!

    you are so adorable!
    did they let you style yourself for the shoot?

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
    LOVE!
    Amazing to see you in a short clip there! I've enjoyed watching it so much, dear Kelly!
    And congrats to the great work with Coach! This is very well deserved as your taste and sense for fashion and style is one of a kind and always of such a great inspiration.
    Plus – it always seems totally effortless :) Stunning!

    Again – congrats!!!

    Warm regards from Germany

    @ Coco Birdie: it sold out in a matter of days, sadly. i wish there were more!!!

    @ The Village Idiot: no, they had an in-house stylist. i had very little to do with it, which was fun for a change!

    you are as adorable being awkward as you are being stylish and beautiful. Coach, a brand I already admire makes major fashion points by working with and supporting glamourous, glamourai YOU.

    You don't seem the least bit awkward in this video! You look as gorgeous as always and seem genuine, warm and relaxed. Congrats! BTW, you TOTALLY remind me of Amy Adams in this…your voice and mannerisms are uncannily similar.

    A little awkward in the video? Maybe it seemed so to you but it appeared to me to show that you are a real person and a very friendly one at that.
