I've 'modeled' very informally and my dream is to be a fashion stylist! I like to consider myself a stylist in training since I do it all the time working at Betsey Johnson as well as on my own time (with my blog, friends, getting dressed myself, etc.)

Thank you! You should definitely do it as well then - I feel it helps expand your own personal style and outlook on fashion. What are my type-os? Lol I have spellcheck, nothing is misspelled or grammatically incorrect on my end; but of course, let me know if there is something you see!

Ahh I think it's going to be an amazing season, there are so many talented people this year! My favs (based on the castings) are Anya, David, Fallene, Laura, Viktor and Rafael. Becky, Bryce and Gunnar could be interesting. We'll see!! I can't wait!

Thank you! (:

Oh this is a great question! Flannel plaid has A LOT more to offer for you than just being comfortable and cozy. I'll give you a few general tips on wearing plaid, and a few different outfits you can try yourself, depending on your personal taste, mood, and/or occasion.

First, consider the color you choose. Plaid has become so popular, that stores offer a wide variety of colors. If you want to opt for something super trendy and not traditional, try neons and black, and fun bold colors like pink and blue. If you want to stick with the classic look, go for muted colors like reds, greys, and navy, with white.

Look for different materials. While plaid flannels are a great cool-weather item, the print comes in many other fabrics! From light-weight, sheer cotton to thick flannel, there are many options that you can try in every season.

Find tailored fits. This is probably the one factor that people forget about - when choosing a plaid shirt, it’s important to pick a top that’s not too baggy so you’ll keep your girly silhouette and won't take the flannel too literally to a lumberjack feel! You don’t have to go too small though (especially since you said you're not too fond of tighter fitting clothes)–longer and slightly oversized plaid tops are adorable, too.

Wear it with neutrals. Since plaid is a bold pattern, it’s best to pair it with neutral solids. Plaid tops look great with jeans and leggings! As far as shoes, feel free to go for wedges, flats, sneakers, just about anything except wearing cowboy boots because again, you want to make this trend fashionable not too literal!

Other than tops, you can even opt for cute plaid dresses, long button-down dresses to be worn alone for a sexy feel, and even peacoats or bomber jackets for cold weather - all great alternatives to the classic button down top. If you aren't the dress-type of girl, to accentuate your figure and still give you a cute girly feel, try belting the top! This will not only accentuate your waist, but will make you look super stylish as well.

Think about pattern and print size. Since plaid is so common now, there are tons of patterns and varied print sizes on the market. “Woven” styles that interlock a mix of colors tend to have a larger print while “western” styles generally feature smaller squares of a single color against a black background. Wovens are great if you’re feeling traditional, while westerns look hot in bright colors. Try both, and don't be afraid to experiment and stepping outside of your comfort zone of traditional flannel shirts (ie aiming for ones with hardware, belts, different colors, pairing it with funky shoes, etc.)

Hopefully I've helped! Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns regarding this (or anything else of course!)

If you mean you have sensitive skin, I can definitely relate, and honestly, the most important factor when choosing make-up (specifically one for your skin like moisturizer/foundation/powder/blush), is to ask yourself what exactly are you putting on your face? I never use to look at ingredients - I just made sure they were oil-free and non-comedogenic (fancy way of saying it won't clog your pores). Lately however, we see so many different types - gels/creams/powders, organic/ natural, mineral, free of fragrance/dyes/parabens/etc.

For me, I LOVE mineral and organic makeup. I'll go more in depth with a post (because I actually really wanted to talk about it, so I'm glad you asked!); but briefly (well not really this is kind of long hehe), it's so great because it's makeup that comes directly from the minerals of earth. The process of making it is so great, because it turns out so light, giving you an 'airy feel', while still providing the coverage you might need. Genuine mineral products are free from preservatives, artificial colors and ingredients, talc, oils, fragrances, and other harsh skin irritants.

When discovering which one works best for you (again I'll include my favorites in a post!), you then need to choose a moisturizer and primer - both are key for making your skin look natural, and choosing the accurate one for your specific skin type, will help maintain youthful and healthy skin. I'll definitely go more into detail though, to help you better understand and choose products that won't harm your skin - I know how important that is, I've gone through almost every type out there!

I hope I helped a little bit for now, though!

I've honestly never been one to stick to "rights or wrongs" when it comes to fashion, I tend to break most of the rules instead, since I feel it better fits my personality haha. But if you like brights, you can still incorporate the same colors you wear in the summer, just in deeper tones. For example, instead of wearing a piece that's bright yellow, try mustard; or instead of bright florals, try to find something with a black or other neutral base, and deep red or other colored prints instead of the light pinks and oranges you would see in the summer. You can even tone them down by wearing the colors in pastels (pastels aren't only for spring!) If you take a look at runways for the fall and winter season for example, (you can find my favorite collections on my blog), you'll notice pastels, colors, and wild prints just about everywhere. Don't limit yourself and don't be afraid to mix in your summer wardrobe in the winter - fashion is all about experimenting until you find something that works best for you and your liking! Hope that helped (=

Okay! Just check back every Sunday, as I'll be doing a "Secret Sunday" post, and either answering a question I receive (like yours!), or doing one of my own. Thanks for the suggestion :D <3

Like with any trend (and everything else, really) - experiment! This is honestly the best and only way I've discovered how to put together my outfits and learned how to coordinate items together well, by experimenting. You'll need to start with a pair of basic tights in neutral colors - think black, grey, brown, and nude (or white - or both!). Once you're comfortable with those and you've found various ways to pair them (underneath dresses, skirts, or even shorts), go ahead and find those colors but with patterns or texture - polkadots, stripes, shimmer - the possibilities are endless! Once you've mastered that, you can finally try some bold and wild colors and patterns - reds, blues, yellows, florals, graphic prints - don't be afraid, just work your way up, baby steps (: I can do a post on how to wear tights this winter, if that helps more, and include my own outfits and outfits I'll put together online (: I hope I helped for now!

This is so hard. Every winter though, I buy new sweater tights and boots. My boots get so worn out each winter, and new styles come out that I pretty much have to include in my closet, haha! And I love tights - I can wear them with absolutely anything, and the patterns and colors this season are so diverse, I love it (:
