Who I Am: I am in my 20's. I love to shop, travel, listen to music(it's my therapy, alongside shopping..lol) and spend time with those dear and near to me. Starting January 2011, I challenged myself to wear every item I own within the year 2011, this includes; accessories, clothes, and shoes. Whatever items I do not manage to wear I plan to donate or sell. Yes, I know I have my work cut out for me but I am working really hard to save my fav's!
My Style: I'd say my style is a combination of classy, chic, edgy, romantic, feminine, sometimes trendy, with a little bit of vintage meets modern. I definitely believe "less is more". My fashion sense embodies a plethora of styles. I wear whatever attracts me at the moment; whether it be a gorgeous bohemian floral dress, spiked heels, or a romantic lace dress. I utilize fashion as an expression of my current mood. I always try to keep it simple with my accessories. I think over accessorizing in some cases can over shadow your outfit or come off as tacky and gaudy. However, I've seen some fashionista's pull it off and look AMAZING doing so. I can not seem to find that perfect blend...so I prefer to keep it minimal with the accessories for the most part.
Fashion/Style Inspirations: I love Kerry Washington (I don't think she receives enough recognition for her fabulous style), Kim Kardashian, June Ambrose, Kourtney Kardashian, Gwynneth Paltrow, Rachel Roy and as of recent Angela Simmons and sometimes Rihanna's style. They are people that I frequently look to for fashion inspiration. Typically, if it's hot I like it, regardless, of who is wearing it.
