Must have beauty items: I'm not really the make-up type. I've never had problems with my skin, so I just stick to unique eyeshadow colors, black eyeliner, and my MAC Plush Lash mascara. Throw in my Agatha Ruiz de la Prada Kiwi lip balm & some eye-popping nail polish, and I'm good to go!
Must have fashion items: As far as fashion goes, EVERYTHING in my ridiculously cramped closet is considered a "must have." Right now, I'm more into vintage pieces than every before, perhaps due to the fact that thrift shopping leaves my wallet happy & still half full. So in that case, I would have to say old school tops, skirts, dresses, and men's shirts are my essentials because they're such one-of-a-kind items that you don't have to worry about the next chick {or these days, even guys} rocking your outfit. Swag stealing is an ultimate pet peeve of mine, yet with decade-aged items, I won't have to worry about that.
Celeb inspiration: I'm not THAT into celebs. If I had to pick a handful of closets to raid, I'd have to snag a few... no a lot of things from the likes of Kelis {prior to the maternity wear}, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, the Olsens, and Beyonce.
Favorite designer: I have far too many designers that I drool over when their collections hit runways every season, yet my list will never grow tired of Vivienne Westwood, Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang. I'd also have to add Phillip Lim & Rachel Roy to my list because I was blessed with the opportunity to meet them at Teen Vogue magazine's "Fashion University" event last October and they were very inspiring.
Personal style: I'm like a chameleon when it comes to my personal style. Ultimately, when I'm searching for something to wear {which takes an unbelievably long time}, I base it off of what kind of statement I feel like making that day. Do I want to wear something that screams grunge/emo girl, or do I go for an ultra-fem look with a eclectic dress and sky-high heels? It all depends.
