What makes your style unique?
I like to choose clothes that look good on my body type. Also, my mood changes every day so my outfit changes to reflect that.

What is your personal style philosophy?
I feel like trends change constantly! I like to buy what's cheap so I can afford more of a variety.

Any suggestions for those of us on a budget?
If you have parents who are stylish, go through their old stuff! Right now, the trend is more towards '60's and '70's style so make sure to mix and match and find what works for you!

What article of clothing would you invest in?
The LBD! It is a timeless piece in my mind. Classic clothing never changes.

What's your beauty must-have?
Diorshow Blackout Mascara. Your eyes are the focus of your face!
