Bright Young Things Style Challenge! Featuring moi!

The challengers: Felicia Walker Benson of This That Beauty, Yuka Yoneda of Ecouterre, Pamela Castillo of Market Publique (moi!), Summer Rayne Oaks the Eco-Model, Leah Chernikoff of Fashionista, Emma Grady of Tree Hugger, Roberta Correia of It’s Only Fashion, Johanna Bjork of Good Lifer, and Tiffany of Six Six Sick.

Every gal knows about the versatility of the Little Black Dress. And designer Eliza Starbuck of Bright Young Things is taking it to the next level.

You may remember Eliza's signature black dress from the year-round styling experiment, fundraiser and all-around awesome blog The Uniform Project. The year may be over, but the impact of that little black dress is continuing and spreading to other stylish gals.

Tonight I am heading to Cobblestones Vintage to style the infamous black dress for a Style Challenger.

The competition is fierce– the other stylish NYC ladies competing are Felicia Walker Benson of This That Beauty, Yuka Yoneda of Ecouterre, Summer Rayne Oaks the Eco-Model, Leah Chernikoff of Fashionista, Emma Grady of Tree Hugger, Roberta Correia of It’s Only Fashion, Johanna Bjork of Good Lifer, and Tiffany of Six Six Sick.

We will style the signature black dress with our own items plus vintage from Cobblestones. Then, a panel of glamourous style icons will judge our outfit, including the fashion designers behind Vena Cava, Lisa Mayock & Sophie Buhai, Delanie Koppersmith of Cobblestones, Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann,  fashion designer Chris Benz, and singer, Eleanor Friedberger from the Fiery Furnaces.

Don't worry– you can vote too! Starting Wednesday, you'll be able to see the entries on the Bright Young Things Facebook page, vote for your favorites and even be entered to win your very own Bright Young Things little black dress!

Wish me luck!

- Pamela, Co-Founder, Market Publique
