Who’s your favorite fashion icon? My favorites were all uniquely expressed through their style, which spoke volumes about their personalities. Each had a signature look that was identifiable and effortlessly fabulous. But not everyone can wear something the same way. Allow yourself to be inspired by others, but own what you wear—don’t let it wear you.

It takes some of us longer to find our style, but I’ve noticed that those who do have their own way of stinging like a bee and floating like a butterfly. I love the lines, colors, shapes, and textures of fabrics and designs. I see a dress as a fine piece of art, an extension of myself. I’m drawn to the dynamism of simplicity—especially in a dress. I prefer pieces that can be styled in a thousand different ways just by changing accessories, whether dressing them up or down. One might say I’m a fan of Chanel’s little black dress.

What’s your sweet spot? What moves, touches, and inspires you in fashion?

Ready to GoIf you’re the girl everyone wants at their party, your invitations are piling up. You need that special dress that will glide you effortlessly from one event to the next. Switch things up with a Norma Kamali dress, available in a gorgeous palette of colors, perfect for any occasion. Kamali’s marigold satin gown is flawless for transitioning into summer. Pair it with Manolo Blahnik’s Shutta pumps—a stylish alternative to the classic heeled sandal or office pump, perfect for an evening look.

Signature PiecesYou’re set and ready to go—now it’s time for the finishing touches. Think belts, handbags, jewelry, hats, scarves, shawls, sunglasses, and eyeglasses. Even your lipstick color can be a signature statement. These final details accentuate and transform your look, making or breaking an outfit.

But the ultimate exclamation mark? Your attitude. The swag you bring to the room is what truly completes your look.
