Style Inspiration-Willow Smith

One fierce chick we could all take a cue from is Willow Smith. Even though she’s barely thirteen, this teen rapper has her head in the game with her heavy gold chains and obsession with neon. Even Lady Gaga is a fan! And her hair is always set for whipping with bright streaks and a new crazy style every day. We love Willow Smith!

Don’t Ditch Them Yet! Styles That Will Stick Around

Many people think that you need a whole new wardrobe for spring. But some styles, like leather skirts, should stay. Black or bright, leather skirts will follow us into spring. So will trench coats. Neon will also burn brighter than ever, and sheer will get cooler and sexier.

Fabulous Fashion Books

Some fashion and style books that have helped me find, define, and learn more about the fashion I love:

  • The Seventeen Ultimate Guide to Style. Great for finding your personal fashion vibe.
  • Fashion 101. I loved learning about where the clothes I wear come from.
  • The Teen Vogue Handbook.  Fab for learning about careers in fashion

Top Tips for Chapped Lips

Winter is just about the worst time for dry lips. Some combination of wind and cold just seem to suck all the moisture out of our lips. How to get it back? It sounds obvious, but always use balm. And for SUPER dry lips, the best thing to use is Aquaphor by Eucerin. This stuff is amazing. And the best part is, it comes in a pocket size, like a lip gloss. You can apply it and it just looks like a clear gloss.

The New Black

Hey, fashionistas! Pantone just came up with their latest color of the year,and it’s emerald green. The luxurious green color goes with a lot more than you think, and looks fab with every skin tone. Use it as a neutral and pair it with other brights and patterns, or make it the focal point of your outfit. Color-shy? Try it as an accessory.

What to Wear to a Party

Hey, fashionistas! Let’s talk about parties. What to wear totally depends on how formal the occasion is and what you will be doing. It’s very important not to be underdressed or overdressed. And make sure you can do whatever you are expected to do in your clothes. For example, if you are going bowling, don’t wear a constricting dress!

Dressing Up

Don’t you just love getting ready for a special occasion? That is, if you know what to wear. It can be hard to find formal outfits that fit your personal style. The rule of thumb is to look for something that a celeb who’s style is like yours would wear. But don’t think you have to wear a dress. I have seen some very cool pants.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!

Hey, fashionistas! I just got the coolest news. I have been invited to Timothy Westbrook’s final gallery night! (For more about Timothy and the Artist in Residence program, check out the Pfister site.) He has invited me as official press and I’m so excited!  This means that I will have access to every photo taken there and get kind of like a backstage pass to the whole thing. I will also be having high tea at the cafe, AND spending the night at this fabulous four- star hotel. Stay tuned!

Cool Boots for Winter!

I love boots. They are my fave kind of shoe, but wear the wrong kind and it looks so bad. One hot style this season is ankle boots. I think they look best cool and slouchy tucked into skinnies. Uggs are casual and comfy, but I like them to be more chic, like chocolate brown or higher on your leg. The more luxe the better! The last of my fave trends is chic rain boots. Yes, you read that right. I’ve really seen it ALL when it comes to those things. Pink, polka dot, you name it!

What to Wear on Your First Date

So he asked you to go to the movies with him and his family. Or to go bowling with him. Or whatever! The point is, you’re going on a real date with a real boy.And you have (or so you think) nothing to wear. Well, the first rule to first date dressing is to not follow any rules. No facades! Express who you are. Are you a leather jacket and combat boots girl? Or a flowy skirt and floral top girl? Whatever your fashion persona, own your look on your first date with your special guy!
