My Collaboration with “11ElevenClothingCo”!

by alyssahotrum1 Comment on My Collaboration with “11ElevenClothingCo”!

Good morning my beauts, I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend so far and are enjoying it! I have been still trying to get over my sickness and just take it easy this weekend aside from a few drinks and a party on Friday.… Hey…. I mean, it is the weekend right?! What kind of things have you beauts gotten yourself up to? I have been just blogging away and what not, doing my thing and getting in my zone! I have missed blogging a crap ton and forgot what it felt like to be just chilling infront of my computer and just typing away, letting my thoughts run freely and just letting them fly on the page. I love expressing myself on here and this is like my own personal diary, I love how open I can be with you beauts, and just say whatever is on my mind, it is refreshing and I absolutely love it. I have recently worked with a beautiful company that I came across on Instagram called, “11ElevenClothing Co”.  I absolutely loved their page, it was very neutral but completely caught my attention right away. I fell in love with the clothing line and the pieces that were involved in it.  Also what caught my attention from their page was the bio description of the clothing brand. The bio states, “You are the creator of your own story. Live life with positive vibes, intention & purpose“. I absolutely love this, I think that is a beautiful saying and admire it a lot. I really do think others besides myself, would be extremely attracted to this description. I was super excited when Amanda reached back out to me and was down to do a collaboration with me on a blog post to review some of her products and model them.  Amanda was such a sweetheart and was such a beautiful person to speak to. When I launch my clothing line one day, I want to be as friendly and down to earth when speaking to customers, I admire her personality a lot! I received my package in the mail and was so thrilled to see what she had sent me. Again, you guys know me with my personalized cards, sometimes I even get more excited reading it than the products! I just love how personal they are and they truly make you feel good when reading them! I absolutely loved the card it was so beautiful! I will insert a picture of it for you beauts to see for yourself!

While reading the card, it was so thoughtful and cute, thanks Amanda! It was a very positive card and you can tell Amanda is all about spreading those positive vibes as well! Which is what I adore. I was then greeted by two beautiful shirts which I adore a ton. The material on the shirts is amazing, they are both super comfy and I would wear them anywhere whether it be my outfit of the day or even to the gym!  The first shirt that I am going to show for you beauts is called the “Wonder & Wander Women’s Scoop Muscle Tank” which retails for $24.95. I absolutely love this shirt, and it is super comfy!

I really do love this shirt, I think it is absolutely adorable. I also really love the second shirt that I received in the mail which is called the “Nomad Women’s Flowy Racerback Tank“, which retails for $24.95 as well. I really love the material of this shirt as well, it’s super cute and fashionable.

I want to take the time to personally thank Amanda for allowing me to collaborate with her and her company on this blog post. I had an absolute blast typing this post up and modelling the shirts. I absolutely love my two shirts and wear them all the time everywhere I go. Be sure to come spread some love on her Instagram page over at “@11elevenclothingco“. Also be sure to use my discount code for 10% off your entire purchase, simply use “good vibes” over at the checkout! Make sure you are following my other social media accounts for upcoming blogs in the near future! Take care and much love xo.

My Collaboration with Conscious Community Wear!

by alyssahotrum7 Comments on My Collaboration with Conscious Community Wear!

Hey, beauts, how are you guys, and how have you been?! I know I know, I have been mia and literally dropped off the face of the earth. I have been sick for the past month with the lovely flu, which has been crappy, so I have been trying to recover to say the last. I even stopped going to the gym because I had zero energy which feels so terrible. But, thank goodness I am finally starting to feel better and I am getting back on track with my blogging and so forth. I am still doing collaborations with different companies and have some exciting ones in store for you guys which is super exciting and I can not wait to share these companies with you beauts, such wonderful people. One company that I have been in touch with and speaking to is called, “Conscious Community Wear”, and they have been absolutely wonderful to work with. I spoke to Kevin about his company and I absolutely loved his clothing line. What really caught my attention about this Instagram page was the meaning of the clothing line, which was promoting love and positivity in a new way of thinking, meaning thinking and being free. I absolutely love this. You beauts know that I am all about spreading positive vibes and good vibes all around on my page. I think that there needs to be more positivity spread throughout the world which is exactly why I created my blogging channel in the first place. Speaking to Kevin, he was very sweet and a very down to earth person. Right away he complimented me on my blogging channel and fashion sense which was extremely sweet of him. He stayed in contact with me, letting me know when I would receive my package in the mail and so forth. I absolutely love companies who keep you updated and stay in touch with you, it’s extremely helpful and I admire that.

There were a couple of shirts that I absolutely adored within his clothing line of “Conscious Community Wear”, and that’s why I knew I had to reach out to him. I was s happy when Kevin agreed to collaborate with me on a blog post and was super excited when I received my package in the mail. Kevin was super generous and sent me 3 shirts which I absolutely adore. I know you beauts are dying to know a little bit about the company and what not so I’ll share some background information with you guys. The company was established in 2016, and consist of a group of young entrepreneurs whose duty is to help shed some light in a world that seems full of darkness. I love this. Personally, I could not think of a better company I would like to represent and show off to you beauts. The company has dedicated their lives to help the positivity of humanity combat the negativity.   So now that you beauts have a little more insight into the company I have been working with, let’s show off some of their beautiful t-shirts and designs for you guys!

The first shirt that I received I immediately fell in love with right away. I absolutely love cropped shirts and sweaters, I think they are extremely fashionable and they are super cute to wear. I received my “Free State Cropped” sweater which retails for $27.00. I got mine in the colour black, and always wear mine with a pair of leggings, which is super comfortable.  I think this top is super flattering and I love the message it is spreading as well. This sweater is super soft… you beauts need to get your hands on it for sure!

(How adorable is this though!?)

The next shirt that I received in my package I am a huge fan of! I love the message it is spreading across the word, pretty much-promoting love and not hate in the world, which is beautiful. This “No Hate Tee”, retails for $20.00 which is a great deal, and I just simply paired it with some ripped jeans and tied a knot in the shirt with my hat. I think there are so many different ways to style this shirt and I absolutely love it. For sure going to be wearing this a ton!

Lastly, I had one more top in my package and it is called the “Kaep Tee” which retails for $19.00 which was great. Not going to lie I had no idea who this person was, until my friend informed me about him! Hey, learn something new every day! I love this Tee, I think the design is neat and I really do love it a bunch!

Again, just simply paired it with my ripped faded jeans, a dad hat, and tied a knot in the shirt to style it.

I want to personally thank Kevin and his company “Conscious Community Wear” for allowing me to collaborate with them on this blog post. You guys are such amazing and sweet people, I really do believe there need to be more upbeat and positive people in this world like yourselves! Keep up the great work with your company, you guys are doing fantastic and I absolutely love your clothing line. Be sure to come spread some love on their Instagram page over at “@consciouscommunitywear”, and give them a follow! Also be sure to follow my other social media accounts located on my homepage for more blogs in the near future! Take care and much love xo.

My Collaboration with “Jealous Youth”

by alyssahotrum1 Comment on My Collaboration with “Jealous Youth”

Hello my beauts, and welcome back to my blogging channel! I am so glad you are here and decided to pop by and say hello! I have been busy with my new puppy Winnie, and have been visiting my parents home for a bit now off and on. I absolutely love visiting my parents and sisters in the country, gives me some space away from the city that’s for sure! I recently have been collaborating with a clothing company that I found on Instagram called, “Jealous Youth”, and I instantly fell in love with their unique clothing line!  I came into contact with designer Elijah Mckenna, who has been obsessed with music and art for as long as he can remember.

Elijah states, “my obsession with music resulted in attending many concerts throughout my life and even performing in multiple Punk and Metal bands throughout my short time I have spent on this Earth. It is safe to assume that the hundreds of concerts I have attended led to the purchasing of many t-shirts from my favourite bands. Those many t-shirts inspired me to eventually pursue a graphic design career of my own in hopes of showcasing my art to the world through one of the best mediums available. Jealous Youth is an independent graphic design and apparel company based out of North San Diego County, California. It was founded in 2014 and focuses on providing limited, small-batch apparel and other various forms of printed merchandise. And by “limited,” I mean that once a certain design sells out, it’s gone for good. I have no intention of printing any of my designs a second time.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always held an affinity towards hand-made products. It makes the item I just purchased much more special knowing that the artist them self-has touched it and channelled every ounce of love and passion they possess into the art they created. It makes it even more valuable to me when the item was created in limited quantities because that way I know that I have one of very few of its kind in the entire world. Since day one, I’ve wanted to convey this love I have for limited-run art pieces through these unique Jealous Youth designs that I enjoy making more than anything.

As of July 27, 2017, every Jealous Youth product will have a handwritten, hand-numbered, and signed tag attached to it. This will pass on my own personal value I hold for each piece to you, my valued customer. Each item has its own “Collector Number,” which is the specific number given to that item out of however many of them were made in that variation. You may choose to hold on to your tag as a “proof of purchase” or for sentimental value if you wish. It will not offend me if you throw it away like you would any other shirt tag. I will NEVER reprint any of my designs a second time. This way, it is confirmed that you own a unique piece of art that not many other human beings will possess and that will never be recreated. With that in mind, you are buying something so much more than just a t-shirt or a coozie. You are buying a limited edition, handmade work of art that holds personal value to me, and hopefully, in turn, to you as well.

I hope this has helped explain what “Jealous Youth” truly is and what it means to me. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you may have regarding your product, your order, or anything else that may come to mind. I am a human being, like yourself, and love conversations about art and creativity of all kinds. Thank you to everyone who has purchased a Jealous Youth shirt in the last three years that this company has existed. And an even BIGGER thank you to those who have purchased anything of mine within the year of 2017, which is technically my first year of legitimate business. You have helped me grow as a person and expand this company more than you could ever comprehend”.

When I received my package, I was more than excited to open it and see what was inside! I received my ” Always Cool women’s Tank Top” which retails for “$15.00-$17.00”. I honestly do not think I own anything that is yellow, and I was really intrigued by it! I absolutely love the design and how bright it is, it’s fun and playful!

I also received another t-shirt which was the “Outer World (Women’s T-shirt) which retails in store for $10.00. I love the design on this shirt as well, it’s very simple but can be paired with a ton of different outfits. I love it! I also received a coozie which is the ” Always Cool Drink Coozie” which retails for $3.00 online as well as a couple of cute stickers which are the “Lonely Grave Sticker Set” (Limited Halloween Edition), and that retails for $5.00.

Elijah was super nice and extremely down to earth when communicating with him and reaching out to him in regards to collaborating with his company.  I absolutely love his Instagram page and clothing line, it is extremely unique and caught my attention that’s for sure! Be sure to spread some love over on his Instagram page at “Jealousyouth”. Thank you so much for allowing me to collaborate with you and your company! I absolutely love the products.

My Collaboration with “Hybrid Nation”

(Shoutout to @nearnorthphotos for the amazing photography session! You are amazing, go check out her page and her work)

Hello my beauts, I hope you all are having a fabulous week so far as I am super glad it’s the end of the week thank goodness. I have been super busy lately with collaborations with companies and staying on top of my blog for you guys. I can not believe at one point I was so behind on my blogs it was unreal, and I felt so bad for you guys that I completely let you guys down, so I apologize but now I simply can not stop blogging, it’s like an addiction! I am so fortunate to have such a strong support system of beauts such as you guys, friends and family, so thank you! For this blog post, I am so fortunate and honoured to be collaborating with “HYBRID NATION CLOTHING” who I reached out to and they happily accepted!

Hybrid Nation is a socially conscious streetwear and lifestyle brand based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is their mission to positively promote diversity and to their platform as a clothing brand along with community-based social advocacy to initiate conversations about equality in order to work towards the creation of a more loving and accepting world. GUYS, how amazing is this! There is nothing more rewarding then collaborating and promoting a company who means so well and wants to make a positive change in the world. I find this absolutely amazing and if that doesn’t say it all for you guys, I highly recommend checking out their  “motto”.


Their motto reads, “STAY HYBRID”  which is not only their motto but also the general philosophy behind all of the work they do. At the most basic level, “Stay Hybrid” represents a person’s commitment to stand up and be a champion for diversity and the values of love and acceptance of all people. So when you say, “Stay Hybrid” or use the hashtag #StayHybrid on social media, you are not only showing where you stand, but you are also encouraging others to stand up and be champions of diversity.



I absolutely love their motto and what they stand for/represent I truly believe more companies need to be like this and completely promote the message 100%. You can purchase both of these tops which are located on their website in the link in their bio. The Black Mockneck Tank Top retails for $30.00 in store. I absolutely love the style of this shirt, and the look is incredible. I was not too sure if this top would look flattering on me but I have been getting nonstop compliments how much it does flatter me and how many people love the high neckline! I would highly recommend purchasing this for your wardrobe! The other white top is not yet up on their website but I highly recommend keeping an eye out for it! There are so many other gorgeous outfits on their site, I just want to purchase everything!

I want to thank Hybrid Clothing for allowing me to collaborate with their clothing company, you guys are awesome. I was so fortunate that I got to show off the women’s clothing for the fall, so if you guys want to look at their store and browse around be sure to check their Instagram page at “hybridnation”, and click their store link located in their bio. Come show them some love and support! Be sure to follow my other social media sites located on my homepage for upcoming blog posts in the near future!

“Dope clothes. Dope mission. Be dope with us”.
