How would you describe your style?
My style is everywhere I must say. One
day I could be completely Urban and Boho, the next day I could be classy and
elegant. It definitely depends on how I’m feeling that day!
If you could shop anywhere, where would it be?
I would love to do major shopping in Paris for a week! I’d do so much damage there. It’s definitely every fashionista’s dream.
Who do you look up to in the fashion
industry?
Anna Wintour is definitely my idol.

Confidence means the world when you
don’t over do it. Staying humble is key. I’m confident in what I do and it
shows without me having to flaunt.
What do you want people to gain from
your work?
I want people to gain a sense of
originality. I want them to look at Her$tyle and be able to think and see
things different. I just don’t want us to be another blog. I want us to inspire
others to believe and achieve!
What career advice do you have for TheeFashionStories readers?
Make sure you sure you experience all
of you interest! Having knowledge in a little bit of everything will get you a
long way. Just make sure you’re building on that knowledge as time goes by.
What makes your work or brand different
from your peers?
I reach out to EVERYONE. Whether they are
the CEO of their own company to being a fashion designer, everyone has a chance
to inspire someone! I don’t want just the latest scoop, or the hottest fashion.
I want interviews with people who have worked hard to be where they are and
succeeded. I want relatable pieces. That’s how my work is different from
others.
What is your biggest dream or
aspiration?
To own my own media company in Chicago,
LA, and New York and to also own my own clothing store/boutique.
What mark do you want to leave on this world?
I want to leave my mark as the biggest woman media mogul and business-woman. I have high expectations for myself, and I can be a perfectionist at times as well.
Do you have any upcoming events or projects that TheeFashionStories readers should be on the lookout for?
We’re currently revamping our whole website, which has been such an exciting process! Be on the look out for our Fall Fashion Frenzy addition. It’s only the beginning!
