Konichiwa AXN Japan!

Konichiwa Japan!

This photo(35)month I started my new job as the LA Correspondent for Japan’s popular entertainment show AXN Avenue. Think of it as a Japanese version of E! or LXTV, where we spotlight the coolest celebrity hotspots in Los Angeles.

My first shoot was at Erewhon Natural Foods Market (pronounced like Air-juan). This place is a natural food gem, with a tea bar and specialty juice selection that puts all the trendy juice cleanse places in LA to shame! For those looking to toxify themselves, they also are the only place in LA that carries the amazing Chateau Miraval rose that is made on Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s property in France. Erewhon is also home to Rita Flora, who puts together the most amazing bouquets. I am lucky enough to be on the receiving end of one of those bouquets. I’m looking forward to when I get another… hopefully in the near future… hint hint

 

It was a great shoot. And I got to polish up on the few words I know in Japanese, which include Konichiwa, Sayanora, Ouishii, and Kawaii.

I’ll be shooting a few segments each month. Follow me on twitter @AndreaFeczko to get more updates!

 

Andrea Brings Dance Music Style to Markkit

EDM Markkit pm

 

Fashion and Music go hand in hand, and the awesome people at Markkit agree, which is why we are bringing you a new collection for all fans of dance music: The EDM Collection by Andrea Feczko.

As the host of Ultra Music Festivals around the world, I have sometimes an impossible task of finding clothes that represent the high energy of these Electronic Dance Music (EDM) festivals that also look great on camera. Meaning, they should be form fitting, brightly colored, sexy, and classy all at the same time. Oh, and they should try to represent the exotic locations we are in- whether it’s boho-chic Ibiza, super sexy Miami, or Far East Seoul, Korea.

When people think of EDM festivals, they think of tutus, pacifiers, and panda hats. I wanted to show that dance music culture and its fashion has come along way from the raves of the 90’s.

When Markkit approached me to do this collection, I was immediately on board… with A LOT of ideas. In hindsight- probably too many for an initial meeting.

The Markkit team and I went to downtown Los Angeles to hand pick the items I’d wear for Ultra 16 in Miami, Florida. It was kind of like living in fantasy girl world down there. The Fashion District is this little section behind the storefront shops where only retailers are allowed to purchase items. Translation: It’s not open to the public, making the experience that much cooler. There are at least 50 shops to choose from with every style, cut, and color pattern you could possibly want. I fell in love with these dresses; the color scheme reminded me of the beautiful Miami beaches and the dresses were high-end to represent the special Ultra brand: it’s the premiere dance music festival, and Miami is the biggest festival of them all.

Of course, these are great for a girl’s night out to dance to your favorite DJ – local or Top 100!

Needless to say- I’m so excited about this new venture!!

This week I put my sports, music, and fashion hats on for Shandy Media’s news properties, which are broadcast on AOL On, Huffington Post, and other outlets. Below is a collection of my favorite stories of the week. I wrote, produced, and hosted them.

… Just a warning, some of the stories are not for the faint of heart. 😉

MOX Minute Takeover

This February I moved into a new position at MOX, bringing you the latest news in the dance music world every Wednesday. Yes, Hump Day is my day… how fitting!

I’ve really enjoyed filling in at MOX over the past few months, so it’s great to be in the studio on a more regular basis. Plus, with festival season about to begin next month, there should be a lot of juicy scoops to report on.

With that said, here are a couple of my favorite episodes from this month.

And big thanks to Markkit for outfitting me in all the looks featured in this post!

 

How Two Travelers on Vagabondish

Fotor1205145712

 

This year I went for my passion: travel.

I partnered up with seasoned travel expert Rachel Rudwall and re-branded my YouTube channel from my namesake to How Two Travelers (H2T). It’s been really fun working with a fellow female traveler who is as passionate as I am about seeing new places- and most importantly, making it fun for everyone!

 

So here’s what you can expect to see on H2T:

A Travel Tip is uploaded on the first Monday of the month.

A Food and Drink is on the second Monday of the month.

A Bucket List Adventure is shown on the third Monday of the month.

And a Go or No Travel Review is uploaded on the fourth Monday of the month. It’s basically a movie review, but for travel destinations. I especially like these videos!

 

We launched in October, and thankfully have had a great response. Fodor’s and the New York Observer are following us on twitter, and Vagabondish, one of the most popular travel websites, is now featuring our travel tip videos!
