How are you using your passion for fashion?
“I am starting a Fashion Club through a school called Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. Anyone who has a love for fashion can join. We will meet once a week and either do Do It Yourself (DIY) projects, talk about this month’s fashion trends and hopefully help everyone discover their own unique style.”
What are some of your hobbies?
“I have been a cheerleader for eight years and right now I am on varsity cheer at Southwest. I enjoy cheering at the football games and getting to go to a lot of the soccer and basketball games. I’m also in choir so I love to sing, especially country music. Of course shopping is one of my favorite hobbies and I also like to cook.”
What are your favorite shopping destinations?
I have a million places I love to shop, but I mostly look for very unique pieces. I don’t like Forever 21 or Love Culture because they mainly have basics. But, the boutiques such as Trendz, SouthernBlu Style, 2 Chic Blvd. and Frankie & Jules are my favorite places to find pieces that not everyone will have. I also like J.Crew, Nordstroms, and Von Maur.”
How does your style reflect your personality?
“I have a personality that is very bold. I’m not afraid to wear anything that is in my closet. I think my style reflects that because my clothing is girly, colorful and very sophisticated.”
Who is your style icon?
“Every Tuesday night I watch “Pretty Little Liars” and Ashley Benson, the girl who plays Hannah, is my ultimate fashion icon. All her outfits are put together well, she doesn’t just wear a T-shirt. She wears blazers, wedges, statement necklaces, skirts – multiple things that I have in my wardrobe too.”
How often do you shop?
“Usually once a week, if I get bored then sometimes twice.”
Who is your favorite designer?
“I’m loving the Lauren Conrad line at Kohls. It’s really cute and affordable. I also like Steve Madden for shoes, J. Crew and Tommy Hilfiger for clothing and of course Tory Burch.”
What do you like about this outfit?
“The maxi skirt is my favorite because I love the colors and its also super soft and very comfortable for a day at school.”
Do you have any fashion tips?
“Statement necklaces are my all time favorite pieces to dress up any outfit. All you do it take a basic fitted T-shirt with some mint green jeans and a statement necklace and your outfit is perfect.”
