What is your favorite way to wear your eyeliner?
It depends if I want to have a dramatic or simple look. Sometimes I use cream eyeliner on just my lid or a I line the top and bottom of my eye with a pencil.

Teen Vogue Event
Back on October, I had the chance to attend a very special Teen Vogue event at Bergdorf's. The magazine had teamed up with Marc Jacobs in their 5F Contemporary Department to promote Teen Vogue's new book handbook. While I was there, I had my future read by a handbag reader, talk to one of the execs from the brand Milly on how to get an internship, and look at some very hot male models hired to be servers for the day. But the best part of the event was when Teen Vogue editor-in-chief, Amy Astley arrived and I had the chance to personally meet her. I didn't know she was going to be there and it was an honor getting to talk to her about my fashion experience and how much I love the industry. She was very personal and took the time to speak with all of the readers. She has such an amazing presence (and a great Prada clutch. To add more excitement to the event, I entered a contest to win the new Teen Vogue Handbook and two weeks later, it arrived at my house! The book is an excellent source for fashion anything! Some designers wrote themselves how they got into the industry while there are interviews with designers, stylists, photographers, writers, and even make-up and hair stylists. The book also features a rundown on colleges and universities that offer studies in fashion. I highly suggest you buy this book! I will post photos soon, on a account they are my personal property and I do not want anyone stealing them.
Oy Vey Miley!
Miley Cyrus was seen this week out and about with her Australian boy toy Liam. Now, we understand that she's growing up and that Hannah Montana is no more but, no girl should be wearing a tank top that completely exposes her bra. It doesn't matter if she's seventeen or not. It's a fashion mistake for anyone...

Joe Jonas All Grown Up!
Tonight, Nick Jonas and The Administration performed at the Critics' Choice Awards. While Nick didn't look too hot in his all black, velvet suit (you should NEVER wear all velvet), I couldn't help but notice how mature Joe looked as he arrived on the red carpet! Take a look at the new and improved Joe Jonas!

The Thespian meets Miss Teenage Socialite
My good friend, Miss Teenage Socialite a.k.a. Kyla Emman, was nice enough to interview me as I was to interview her! Check out her blog to see what she asked me. In this interview, this NYC Socialite talks about fashion and the place she calls home.
How did you first get into fashion?
I first got into fashion when I was a little girl and my mother bought me these cute little fur coats with the matching hat and glove set. That’s when I started putting outfits together. They looked more like clown costumes then anything else, but I really learned what personal style was. As for being in the fashion industry, I started when I was 16 as I began my blog, Miss Teenage Socialite NYC, while I was traveling to Japan and China. I started to meet people and get invited to parties and places I had only seen in movies. I'd receive random invites to fashion shows. It was weird but awesome.
What are your plans for college?
My plans for college are to study in state at a University with a great broadcasting/communications program. I really want to become a fashion correspondent or a host of a show. But by no means am I the kind of girl who’d go to an Ivy League or as Blair calls it “the holy trinity”. I just want to go to the school that can push me, let me work and make me happy. I think that internships are really important to have in a media field and the schools that I’m applying to are very internship oriented.
What is the most fashionable city you've ever been to?
I'd have to say Tokyo, Japan. They have so many crazy, amazing stores there and the street fashion there is so bold. I love the sense of self confidence you feel when you're there. The teens there exude pride in even there most ridiculous outfits, which rubs off on you. Tokyo is all about dressing yourself as you want to be seen and not caring what people think of it. Everyone there looks like they are straight out of a comic book or “Manga”. Also, the stores are great because you can pick up anything there! In America, there is always one sort of dominant trend/look. In Japan, anything goes so their shopping is a plethora of different trends.
Since meeting you at FIT, have you taken any other fashion courses?
No I haven’t. I’ve been really busy working on original content for my blog, balancing school, starting a new business and launching my headband collection. Right after we met at FIT, I was asked to become an intern for Alloy Media and Marketing, the company that deals with shows like "Gossip Girl", books like "The Clique" novels and movies like "Sister Hood of the Traveling Pants". So between then and now, I really don’t have time to do anything else!
What part of NYC is your favorite to shop in?
I love shopping anywhere really, but I think that Chelsea is home of the best thrift shops ever and small trinket stores in NYC. I’m all about being original and thrifty so that’s my go to place for vintage designer stuff. I also like Hell's Kitchen because it’s so close to my house. They have flea markets every weekend. Dominick’s Thrift Shop on W. 47th is my new fave in HK, they have some great stuff.
Who is the most influential fashion icon or designer you have ever met?
The most influential fashion icons I have ever met were Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. I met them when I was really small, I must have been around five years old. They weren’t big fashionistas then, but then again fashion in the 90’s was just tacky. Now they are just amazing trend setters, their style is really eclectic. The most iconic designer I have ever seen was DVF. She was the key note speaker at Teen Vogue’s Fashion University. I didn’t get to chat with her on a personal level that day but it was mind blowing to hear her story from her own lips.
Thank you so much Kyla!

Topshop, Madewell, and Abercrombie = SALES!
If you noticed, I had left my Brand of the Month up when I went on hiatus from this blog. For the month of November, I had chosen Madewell, a new contemporary clothing line from J. Crew. On my trip to SoHo, my mom and I stopped by our favorite store to check out their casual yet business-like fashions. The store had some great sales and new fashions as well. And with no tax on clothing under $110, I found some great bargains at the store. I ended up buying a great, tie dye shirt for only $10 along with a skirt and sweatshirt, each $20. To find a store near you check out their website: www.madewell1937.com. If you want to see some more, shopbop.com sells Madewell merchandise.
For those of you who keep up with fashion, you probably know that the European store, Topshop, opened its first US store here in New York in July. I went there for the first time today and saw just exactly why it's so popular. They have EVERYTHING! I scored a great dress on sale for only $10 as well as some leggings ($24 not on sale) and cute flats on sale for only $40. The store has everything! Accessories, shoes, menswear, maternity, petite and lingerie. And the great thing, is that everyone can find something within their price range. The store has an incredible four floors and you can even have a personal shopper help you.
Lastly, Abercrombie and Fitch has constantly been sending me e-mails about their stores having all of its merchandise on sale. So I decided to check this out for myself, and the emails were true! The store by me didn't sell a lot of it's winter merchandise and had some great markdowns. I was able to purchase a graphic sweatshirt for $20 and a cardigan for $30. The best deals I saw were the ones they had on their winter coats and denim jackets. The coats went from $200 to $100 and the denim jackets were marked down from $100 to $20! Check out your local A&F for awesome deals and Hollister for 50% off of their merchandise as well. Here are the two Abercrombie pieces I purchased:

HELLO 2010! It's all about the music.
Hey everyone! I'm back! I decided to wait till 2010 to update and December wasn't such a great month for me. Any who, I have lots to tell you! Two words: Jonas and Hanson.
As many of you probably know, Kevin Jonas got married to his girlfriend of about two years, Danielle Deleasa, on Dec. 19th at Oheka Castle right here on Long Island! I SO wanted to crash the wedding! Oheka Castle, the second largest private estate on the East Coast, is a place where people from all over the world come to have that fairy tale wedding. The night before, chef Paula Deen came and surprised the Jonas' and their guests at the rehearsal dinner. Apparently, their menu included some of her recipes as well as some roller skating. The wedding was luckily not harmed but actually benefited from the terrible blizzard we had! The theme was a winter wonderland so the snow just added to it. Kevin wore a custom-tailored Brooks Brothers tuxedo while Danielle looked gorgeous in her Vera Wang gown. The couple had their honeymoon in Mexico, where Kevin was spotted in some short shorts. Over 400 people were in attendance at the wedding including friends Demi Lovato, Jordin Sparks, the brothers' JONAS co-stars Nicole Anderson and Chelsea Staub, along with former NSYNC member Joey Fatone, who also got married at Oheka Castle some years ago. I wish the best for the happy couple! To see pictures of the wedding, pick up the latest issue of People magazine.
In more Jonas news, Nick Jonas did a little side project (hmm... so did Taylor Hanson with a little band called "Tinted Windows"...) and created his own band called Nick Jonas and the Administration. The band just started their tour on Jan. 2 in Dallas, TX and will be at The Beacon Theatre (hey, Hanson was there!) in NYC on Jan. 7th and 8th. Tickets are all sold out though you can purchase them on StubHub and other websites. Nick's video for his single "Who I Am" premiered on Jan. 1st on Disney Channel and can be found on YouTube. The band's CD comes out Feb. 2.
Going on to Hanson, they just released a new EP called "Stand Up, Stand Up". It features 5 songs, 4 acoustic and one actual recording and is available on iTunes. All five of the songs prove just how great Isaac, Taylor and Zac are. After almost 13 years of performing, they still know how to make great music. My favorite is "World's On Fire" from which the EP's title comes from. The song is political as the brothers sing about speaking up for yourself. My other two favorites are "Carry You There" and "Use Me Up". Hanson will be at the Gramercy Theatre in NYC for five nights starting April 26 and going thru April 30th. Each night, Hanson will be playing one of their albums starting with "Middle of Nowhere" on the first night and going in chronological order all the way to the last night being their new album whose title is yet to be released. On May 1st, the three brothers will playing at Bamboozle in New Jersey, the same day that Paramore is too! Tickets for the New York City shows aren't available though if you go to Bamboozle's website, you can purchase tickets for May 1st.
It seems that 2010 will be all about the music so stay tuned for what will happen this decade...
