 Tell us a little about your career as a designer and what encouraged you to start blogging?


I work for Top Hat Imagewear, which is my family business where I design high end custom uniforms for hotels, casinos, restaurants, spas etc.  My designs are inspired by runway fashion.  The hospitality industry is very conservative and doesn't quite satisfy my love for everything "retail".  I have always loved street style, showing people how to dress for their body types and how to score a great deal.  I have always had this random knowledge since I grew up around fashion that I have always wanted to share.  Encouraged by my friends and family, I started a personal style blog to satisfy this other side of fashion that I love so much.


Who are your favorite designers and clothing lines?

I have so many!  My personal style is inspired by Isabel Marant's bohemian flare and Balmain's edgy rocker look.  On the more affordable end of the spectrum love Haute Hippie, Blu Moon by Planet Blue, Wildfox Couture, Zara and Jeffrey Campbell.

What are you most excited for this spring?

I LOVE flowy maxi dresses and skirts, I cant wait to wear them again!  Also my amazing leather jacket with pyramid studs!

"i'm absolutely obsessed with the one sleeve black silk Haute Hippie dress- it just came in and I immediately had to put it on"-Diary of a Fashion Addict

  Any current fashion obsessions?

Color blocking is my obsession at the moment.  Katie Perry on the cover of Elle Magazine in head to toe Gucci- AMAZING.  I am loving the denim on denim and big chunky platform sandals. 



Hardest Fashion Trend to give up?

Pointy toe pumps and slap bracelets...gotta love them.

How do you feel about bottoms and flares making a coming back?

I am most inspired by 70's style.  Bell bottoms coming back around is making my life long dream of being Penny Lane come true.
