For No One Tagged Me...

1. What is your go-to item?

I guess for a while it´s been skirts and dresses, but now I am just realizing my style is changing and I am all about pants right now. Mostly skinny ones, even though I am trying to find the best pair: super low, dark denim and without spandex!!!

2. What is your secret weapon? (Moroccan Oil? Great shoe insoles? Spanx? Give it up!)

Secret weapon: huge hair. I believe hair is what really defines how you look. I really like when my hair is so big and curly and it looks like its all messy but at the same time you feel like everything is in the right place. The problem with my hair is that its naturally straight so I spend a lot of time and products trying to make it curly and huge. I also love earrings, I cannot live without them! I always have the very-small-huggies kind, I think every girl should wear earrings all the time, they make you look so feminine!

3. What is on your (realistic) wish list right now?

Right now I would love to have some really-really low skinny jeans, but since my legs are so full its hard to find ones that really fit without being so tight. They would have to be denim but really dark blue - denim. I would also like to have lots of long-sleves shirts for work because I am always cold with the ones I have.

4. How do you keep things fresh everyday?

I check out the colors I wear during the week and I try to stick to a wide palette and not wear only black, white and grey even though I work in a serious office. I love accesories and I try to mix patterns.

5. If you could go shopping with anybody, who would it be and why?

I’d say Tim Gunn. He would really tell me what looks good on my body and what doesnt. Lately I´ve been feeling like I have a lot of clothes that are childish and I really want to change that (not that I feel old or anything). He would really tell me what I should splurge on and where to look.

6. Who is your Fashion Icon?

 I love Audrey Hepburn and Olivia Palermo’s style. I also love just about all the lookbooks J Crew, Anthropologie and Gap.

7. What’s the most important thing you’ve learned about fashion?

I think you should always be yourself and not stick with what the stores are telling you. There are so many styles I´ve tried just because I think they are so stylish but then find out they don´t work out on me. Try things that you like without thinking if the people around you are going to stare in disappointment.

8. What do you do to keep yourself fresh & looking great during travel/vacation?

When I travel I always carry my flat iron to style my hair, I also take a nice dress just in case I need it and some great accesories. I tend to get cold so easily so I always bring a nice jacket/coat that would match any outfit. Comfortable shoes are also a must.

9. What is the best cheap/drugstore item that is totally underrated?

Mascara! I´ve tried so many expensive ones but always ended up with tears in my eyes and my lashes all down. Until I tried the cheapest Apple-Mascara with avocado-oil. It is so cheap and natural because it stays on all day and you can easily remove it at night with baby-oil. My lashes look so long sometimes I´ve been asked if they are fake.

10. What is the one item you should splurge on?

Shoes! If you really like a pair that you think its cute and comfortable you should get it. Every outfit is made 1000-times better by adding the right pair of shoes. Shoes can also totally ruin an outfit!
