aware fast grew joined life moved people sort ways
I moved to a city and joined a sort of fast crowd. A lot of people who grew up in the city sort of aren't aware of manners and other ways of life and 'common decency.'
armies dresses duty full icon looks makeup small truly
For me, in a world full of armies of stylists and makeup artists, what I think truly makes a fashion icon is how a girl dresses when she's off duty and she has to put her own looks together - no small challenge!

One of the perks of my job as a fashion journalist is the travel opportunity.
carpet easy heat lady looking red stepped turning
Turning the heat up on the red carpet while still looking like a lady isn't as easy as it sounds. Too much va-va-voom, and a girl can look like she just stepped out of 'Jersey Shore.' Too little, and she'll look like a sister wife.

Jess is not only a successful actress but also has a line of eco-friendly products called Honest that's become a million-dollar business. Jessica Alba an undercover businesswoman? That's my favorite kind of style - the kind with substance.
picks portrayed
I feel like I have been portrayed as if I was standing outside Cipriani hoping someone picks me as their plus-one.
I am aware that most 27-year-old writers do not co-host galas in their hometowns.
best change close hard people time york
Some of my best friends here in New York have pasts I have a hard time reconciling with the people I'm close to now. But I wouldn't change them - or their pasts - for anything in the world. Their experiences are what made them the people they are today.
