Personal Style. My personal style is very
unique. I like to be noticed as the girl who
has her own way of dressing. I really like
starting new trends.

Deciding What to Wear. I just go with how
I feel for the day. If I feel like its hot outside, I like to wear light colors like pink, light blue,
or yellow. If it’s a day that I don’t feel good, I wear sweat suits, but stylish sweat suits.

My Accessories. Bangles, my name earrings, and belts with nice, big buckles. I also like hats;my Kangol hats.

Summer must-haves. I like low-top sneakers, and the sequence shoes.
Who inspires your style? My mom! My mom, because she’s very stylish and she knows
how to put things together. I also like the way Ciara dresses because I like the
sweaters and shirts that she wears, as well as the low-rider jeans.

Favorite designers? My ultimate favorite is
Guess because I like the way they make
their jeans and I like the way the jeans look
on me. I also like how the shirts hang off
your shoulders.
Favorite Stores. Old Navy and the Gap;
Ladies Dr. Jays in down town Brooklyn,
Century 21. Transit Active, Sloppy Joe and
Dirty Jane, and Yellow Rat Bastard.
If we were to take a trip in your closet,
what type of things would we find? You’ll
find a lot of pink clothes, shoes, as well as
shirts. Many hand pocketbooks, a lot of
bright colored shirts. Lots of hip-hugger
jeans, lots of sneakers, mostly Jordans and
unique shoes.

In her words:

“To me, image is very important. The way you dress says a lot about yourself. Your image is everything!”
