How would you describe your personal style?
My personal style is honestly is everchanging. When i think of fashion, i picture a story. One that is quite expressive, that is detailed enough to convey an emotion. With that said, somedays I can dress completely raw with steel plated boots and dark palettes; while other days i can dressed completely soft with light palettes, and intricate delicates. Fashion is an emotion for me, and my inspirations for day to day life.
What is your go to outfit if you have 15 minutes to get ready for the day?
My go to outfit would probably be a flowy silk blouse that is eccentric in color (thinking magenta, coral, or powder pinks) , with fitted distressed light blue jeans , paired booties with a platform similar to my favorite steve madden Chelseey Ankle Boots, in the grey of black color. It is imperative to have a unique pointer finger ring, and a chain purse that compliment the shoes. Yes, Yes details matter.
What have your favorite items been this winter?
My favorite items this winter have been the huge cable knit sweaters and the chic "Rachel Zoe" fur vests. They have grown quite popular especially amongst my college campus. While very simple, they add touches sophistication; making a simple ensemble to fie for. I enjoy them but they make packing hell ! I went to Dubai to celebrate New Years, and it was actually 80 degrees there !! There my favorite items were actually the hijabs! With the warm weather, women there were wearing hijabs in such vibrant colors. There weren't quite new to me since I am muslim, BUT i really was intrigued by the variationsWhat is your favorite season to dress for?
If you could raid any celebrity's closet, who would it be and why?
Don't hate me my dears but it is so very close between Victoria Beckham and the "new" Rihanna. Both celebrities pay particular attention to details, silhouettes and remain conscience of their bodies, not to mention their bold and relentlessness attitudes to fashion unique skews. Victoria Beckham is famous for her cutting edge, yet sophisticated style; This i adore dearly, and her accessories are always up to par. My "new" Rihanna (post 2004) is a bold and daring young one, who isn't afraid to try colors, eccentric patterns/ textiles, and admire her body! I am inspired by both of these phenomenal artists
What is the biggest fashion mistake you see girls make?
I believe the biggest fashion mishaps amongst women always has been and will continue to be adapting a style of another for in-genuine reasons. When a trend, a phase , or anything of that nature becomes IN fashion it becomes second nature for a lot of females (and equally men) to "jump on the bandwagon" and assume the "role". I could go on forever with examples, but i am sure we all know of similar situations. When you are able to pass by someone and sense she or he is uncomfortable or unsure of what message they are trying to portray it becomes very uncomfortable and unbecoming of their character and fashion conscience
