May 14, 201312 yr onlineathens.com May 13, 2013 Fashion envoy: Camila Alves McConaughey a ‘brand ambassador’ for Macy’sLOS ANGELES — Camila Alves McConaughey sits cross-legged in a studio in West Hollywood awaiting her next interview, an empty baby carrier next to her sandaled feet. The late afternoon sun shines softly through the window, signaling the near end of a full day spent talking to the press, promoting the latest Macy’s INC collection.Waves of her long, dark hair glide over her shoulders as she peeks around the corner to check on her nearby baby, who is being walked around the room while Mom works.Alves McConaughey has been a brand ambassador for the exclusive Macy’s brand for two years. The 31-year-old, who is married to Matthew McConaughey and mother to their three children (ages 4, 3 and 4 months), also designs her own line of handbags and tunics called Muxo. She sat down with us to chat about her partnership with Macy’s and more.Q: Tell us about your involvement with Macy’s and about being an ambassador for the INC collection.A: First, before we started this I said, “Wait, let me understand the brand, let me understand what the brand is about” and I got to learn that they cover all bases. They go from plus size to petite. They have pieces that are bold and colorful, and they have the classic looks, and they have everything. The quality is great, it’s really affordable. Every woman can find something in this collection.Q: What are your favorite pieces in the collection?A: White denim that I truly love. Stretchy, it hugs your body all in the right places. It makes your backside look good too. That’s very important. I’m loving the eyelet stuff that they have now. I love this dress (she points to an INC International Concepts three-quarter-sleeve, lace sheath). It’s all handmade, and when I found out that it was handmade and it was $99, to be truly honest, I got one for my mother, one for my aunt one for myself. The jackets are great too. I got this really cool motorcycle jacket in this cool blue color that is very hip and cool. They have these other ones made out of lace and linen together (INC International Concepts lace linen moto jacket). It’s on trend; that’s another thing. Their shoes are all under $110. I’ve been using one nude pair a lot (the Mariela pump).Q: How would you describe your personal style?A: My personal style keeps changing. I was very bohemian, then I went to being a little sophisticated, and now I’m going back to bohemian. I think all women do that too. I think that our style kind of changes with our life and what we’re doing. That’s another reason why I love this brand, because you have the freedom to do that with this brand. It’s not just like one direction. You have that room to play. For me right now, I’m going back to the bohemian chic. I’m with three kids now, and I’m done. I’m not pregnant anymore. I’m wanting to really get back into my sense of style. I’m just now getting back into my love of fashion.Q: What are your favorite places to shop in L.A.?A: In L.A., I do like Planet Blue in Malibu. Intermix is good. I always go to Sephora for makeup. I can get everything at once there. For jewelry, I like the vintage stuff. I go to a flea market in the South Bay area. I also like to go to the Salvation Army stores and stuff like that. There are two good ones down in Redondo Beach.Q: What are your beauty bag must-haves?A: I’m horrible with brands, but I do have these two lotions that I use before doing my makeup that I think are a must-have. The brand is Nude. It’s from Bono’s wife, Ali, and she gave it to me when we were all on vacation. I tried it, and I haven’t stopped ever since. It’s a serum and I put it on, and it kind of tightens up your skin and lifts everything up. Then I put on omega oil, and it kind of soaks into your skin, and it just makes it all glowing and healthy.Q: Do you have any style tips you’d like to share?A: One silhouette that is really big right now, the peplum. I think every woman should own something with a peplum. If you’re petite, it makes you curvy and gives you some movement, or if you’re trying to hide something, it covers it.Tailoring is another one. So many times people try things on and say, “Oh, this doesn’t fit, this doesn’t work,” and you have to understand that there are tailors, and that’s what they do. You can go for like $20 to get tailored. You can get something that’s really worth it, and it can be a piece that is with you for a very long time, and it’s worth doing that.Q: Are you coveting anything for fall?A: I have a few designs that I did that I can’t get from my handbag line. Me and my mom made it. Me and my mom designed it, but everywhere I go to get it, it’s gone.Q: Who are your favorite designers?A: Man, there are so many great designers out there. My only problem with (naming) a few is that I’m going to forget some that I love, so I prefer not to say names. There are just so many great designers out there.
