Song of Style’s Aimee Song on Keeping her Day Job, and Getting ‘Burned’ by Competitive Bloggers

Most people will dedicate their lives to building one career. At just 25, Aimee Song has already reached considerable success in two, as sought-after interior designer and It Blogger behind Song of Style.

Hip Hop Chambray…Ho…11 Chambray Looks for Summer

For some reason whenever we think of chambray that Naughty By Nature song gets stuck in our head.

No matter.

The point is that chambray is big this summer and we’re happy about it. The chambray work shirt is classic 1930s Americana. It’s sexy and rugged and a staple for the season.
