Born in the USA: Madison Maxey's Kickstarter Campaign

The ball has dropped and the halls were decked, but the season of giving is not over yet. Starting today, you can open your hearts (as well your Yves Saint Laurent wallets) to help out a very stylish cause. If you are completely in love with Madison Maxey's custom-made blazers, you'd be a fool to not to help out her KickStarter campaign.

This campaign is about more than daring blazers. It shines light on an American dream: producing items in the land of the free. The goal is to manufacture Madison Maxey blazers in the United States. And though having pieces that were made in some foreign land sounds glamorous,  patriotism never goes out of style.

But it doesn't stop there, style savants: answer a trivia question on Maxey's Kickstarter page and you're eligible to win a free blazer. The season of giving goes both ways!

Shopping Alert: Madison Maxey's Trunk Show

I don't just like blazers, I adore them. In my opinion, the sacred piece can do wonders for your ensemble. While most style mavens think of a blazer as a finishing touch to an already polished outfit, I can assure you that the treasured item has a lot more mileage. My tweed boyfriend blazer, which I will thank my mother for coercing me into buying it, always supplies an urban twist. But the versatility doesn't stop there: blazers can also exude fearless glamour.

This week, I had the pleasure of meeting Madison Maxey, a designer who is on her way to becoming "The Blazer Queen." Perhaps I should copyright that before more people catch on, yes? With bold collars and a bevy of different fabrics to choose from, Maxey gives you the power to design your dream blazer. 

I know, how could it get any better? 

This Sunday, Madison Maxey is hosting a trunk show that's sure to make you drool. Whether you're starting your holiday shopping early or planning to snag seven blazers for yourself, you must go.

Champagne, exclusive collar fabrics and possibly a free blazer -- how can you resist?

Since I'm still in Boston, I expect all my stylish New Yorkers to attend, shop until they drop and report back!
