Bijou's Style: June 2011

Hey lovelies....here is the official interview I promised you guys with the talented stylista Annie Ladino. I really love her work and I hope you guys will enjoy this reading....oh! and she is now the Chief Stylist at Shop It To Me so make sure you guys check it out =)

Currently Residing In:

East Village, Manhattan

My Styling Career Started When:

Becki Newton of formerly of Ugly Betty asked me to be her stylist after I helped her get dressed for the Marc Jacobs show she attended one year.

Favorite Styling Gig:

hhhhmmmm hard to say...

They're all different and what I like about each is different. I loved working on the Eat, Pray, Love tour with Julia Roberts. This was a long project and my first press tour. We traveled to some of the most beautiful places in the world with her amazing team and crew from the movie.

I love working with my friends Becki and Brooklyn. I've really enjoyed being part of a design team at Joy Cioci. Consulting at Loft has taught me so much and I've also been mentored by the Fashion Director, Alia Ahmed-Yahia. And how can I forget all the support from everyone at Elle.

Wait I got side tracked. There are no favorites but I've loved them all whether they've been difficult or glamorous, it's been an incredible experience and a wonderful journey.

On My Lust List:

Actually, it's on sale and I found it on ShopItToMe - http://tinyurl.com/5uzw6w3 I kind of love her but do I really need another Proenza Bag? YES!

Don't Leave the House Without My:

My blackberry! What? It's designer.

I would never wear....

Never say Never....Although I haven't worn culottes yet. Not flattering on my frame.

Style Muses:

Briggitte Bardot for her french je ne sais quoi. Cher Horowitz from Clueless for her ability to combine Alaia with Contempo Casuals. And Malibu Barbie - I imagine she surfs.

A wardrobe is never complete without?

Fierce shoes
