Tell us a little about your role at Shop.com.
My role asSHOP .COM’s
Fashion Trend Editor is to
write about the trends and hot topics, as well as find the best deals on
our site. I also wor k a lot
with the replication of celebrity styles at a fraction of the cost.
How did you get started in the industry?
I actually started as a freelance writer – first for local newspapers, then writing band reviews and bios for local
Los Angeles or
for
a magazine that chronicled Magic (fashion tradeshow in
Las Vegas ).
Tell us a little about your personal style.
There’s no particular label. I would classify my style as bohemian. I enjoy mixing color s,
patterns, and textures to create my outfits. Usually I supplement my
thrift stor e finds with some key pieces that I buy online or from boutiques.
Do you have a go-to piece in your closet?
Probably my shoes…heels in particular! I’m only 5’2” and there’s something about heels that make a woman feel fabulous, and they transfor m even the most
mundane outfit. I love the pair I’m wearing now: Naughty Monkey
Headliner Pumps from their fall line.
What are you anxious to get or wear for spring?
I’m of Indian descent so I’m interested to see the emerging Bollywood trend and color s-yellows,
cor als, saffrons-that go
along with it. To be honest, our economy isn’t the strongest right now,
so I’m into jewelry mor e than
I am clothing because it’s an affor dable
way to dress up an outfit. Oversized necklaces are a huge trend right
now and I’m really enjoying some of the mor e
affor dable jewelry
collections that I’ve been seeing, like the new Erickson Beamon for
Target – the same jewelers that have designed Michelle Obama’s jewelry.
Even Juicy Couture has some cute new Wish necklaces right now.
Do you have a favorite designer or designers?
I like Betsey Johnson and Custo Barcelona. I was also pleasantly surprised by the Converse One Star line from Target; it’s spor ty,
sexy, and classic all at once.
