Can I Have Your Closet: Emma Peltzer

Emma Peltzer (rapper name: E$weezii) is a pretty k00l chick. Not gonna lie, I was kind of intimidated by her for quite some time, but once I got to know her in art class I discovered that she's just a hilarious well-dressed munchkin. I feel like a lot of my friends are like that. Despite the fact that Emma was Barbie for Halloween this year, she's nothing like the fake, humanly impossible being that lives in the Dream House with Ken. Nor does she dress as horridly and painfully color coordinated-ly as Barbie does. (So...many...adverbs...) In fact, Emma just kinda does what she wants when it comes to clothing. As you'll see in our interview in just a moment, it's hard to define her style at all. Some days it's a little preppy, some days it's a little punk, other days it's cute and sweet, but it's always original. I always enjoy looking at Emma's clothing and drawing inspiration from her. That's what friends are for, right? (I might be kidding.)

Another thing that really excites me about Emma (besides her incredible artistic skill--art majors represent!) is that she reminds me a lot of Yvonne Strahovski, a.k.a. Sarah from "Chuck," a.k.a. my favorite television show. Not in the super spy way, but more in physical appearance. And Sarah is a total babe, so...connect the dots, guys. Without further ado, I give you--Emma Peltzer!...z interview with me.


Odelia: How would you describe your style?

Emma: I mean honestly, I've never tried to label myself. I know that sounds bad, but...I mean, I've always liked—you know, I've seen people on the street and been like, “Wow, that looks really cool,” or “I really like that.” But I've never been like, “Oh yeah, I wanna look like so-and-so,” or “I really like that designer, or this kind of clothing.” I just kind of—whenever I see something I like, I just kind of put it on.

Odelia: Who are your fashion icons and who do you admire aesthetically?

Emma: Oooh...okay. I mean I'm not very...I don't know how to say it. I'm not—I don't think I can really say that I know a lot of designers. Whenever I—always as this joke I'm like, “If I was a millionaire I'd shop at Prada.” But I've always loved the high fashion aspect of Prada and all of that kind of stuff.

Odelia: Are there certain celebrities or just people you know that you...

Emma: Actually, at the Oscars, I did have a favorite dress, which was the Alexander McQueen dress that—oh, gosh, I forget her name, but she was in “The Help,” she had orange-y hair, Jessica something...

Odelia: Oh yeah! I know who you're talking about! Yeah, whatever. [EDIT: It was Jessica Chastain.]

Emma: Whatever, yeah. But I thought her dress was so cool and she looked great.

Odelia: Where are your favorite places to shop?

Emma: I mean, I love Free People, I love just kind of whatever. I mean, yet again I don't—I'm not very...[Laughs] I don't know, I'm just not—I mean, I have places I like to go, but I don't really think that I have one store specifically that I like to shop at.

Odelia: Do you shop often or whenever you want to get something?

Emma: It's really just if I need something, or like, birthday, Christmas, that kind of thing.

Odelia: If you could own one item right now that you don't have, what would it be?

Emma: Oh! Actually, I've been sort of brainstorming. There's this one pair of pants that I want that I haven't been able to find anywhere and they're just like khaki army green skinny pants that go right above the ankle with pockets on the side of the leg and a small zipper that goes on the ankle.

Odelia: Would you say that fashion is a big focus in your life?

Emma: Definitely. I mean, I'm never the kind of person that would walk out in sweatpants and Uggs. For me, even going to school I need to feel confident and feel like my outfit is sufficient [giggles]. I've always been the one to dress up, not down.  

Photos by me.

J-chillin' in the 8th floor hallway. You know. 

Something about this reminds me of "Alice in Wonderland," and I can't figure out why. I feel like the Cheshire Cat has something to do with that, that rascal. 

You can tell we're art students because we know that yellow and purple are complementary colors. 

INTENSE. That's the vibe I was going for. 

I'm pretty sure Emma has three layers on top. That's something I would do. Great minds think alike, they always say. 

She's gonna be a model for American Apparel someday, I can feel it. 

Walking into the distance--got dem dramatic photos up in here, am I right? 

Hooray! It's Emma! E$weezii! Yeah!

In other news: I got a haircut this weekend (as in Olive cut it in my bathtub) and a cartilage piercing tonight. I totally had a rocker chick revelation and I'm completely digging the vibe. I even wore my sassy t-shirt today, the one that says, "YOU'RE SO VAIN" on it. Badass right here. Don't mess. I've got a metal rod through my ear and minimal amounts of hair (this could also be the start to one of those guess-what-I-am games, where the answer is a rat in prison).

Also, I'm going to a party hosted by Nicole Richie at the H&M 5th avenue flagship store tomorrow night. It should be pretty rad.

That's all for tonight, except...
