BIO:

I’m a 23-year-old self-proclaimed fashion addict, and I’m particularly wild about denim. I dream about jeans, have a collection of more than 100 pairs… and am still nowhere near stopping. My favorite pair is anything J Brand, and one of the criteria of getting a new job was finding a place that would let me flaunt my denim wonders. All of this is just another way to express myself, and I can never, ever get enough. I run DenimDebutante.com, a site that lets me live and breathe denim while still keeping the steadily rising prices down to earth. From the hottest sales (hey, a girl’s gotta eat too!) to the best denim couture and reviews, photos, outfits, giveaways and more, there’s a little bit of everything… so long as it’s blue and beautiful.

ON HER FASHION PROWESS:

All fashion, however, fascinates me. I’ve got a taste for vintage and high end items that my budget can’t afford, but my heart doesn’t care. Lately, I’ve been swooning over nail polish and painting my nails white, black or jade.

WHAT SHE’S WEARING:

Market Ts Boyfriend Shirt
J Brand Crops
Dominique Cohen for Target Necklace
Apt. 9 Heels
Essie Polish in Greenport

FASHION TIP:

Dress for yourself. You have to wear what makes you comfortable and sexy, trends be damned.

FAVORITE DESIGNER:

Denim – J Brand, Fashion – Balmain

BIO:

Who am I? I am…a daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece who is extremely loyal to my family but intent on charting my own course. I’m a writer, indie filmmaker, entertainment juggernaut whose favorite pastime is blogging – I feel like that is where I shine. On my blog, I get to be totally me – who can stop me, that’s my world. I’m a lover…of food, men, books, films, art and shoes. I love hard and am infatuated by the idea of being in love so I allow myself to fall in love as often as possible-right now I’m head over heels in love with thigh high boots! I’m a hard-working hustler chick fueled by great, innovative ideas that come from within. I am a super hero with the power of reflection-what you see in me is what you really possess yourself: don’t try to change me-what you are resisting is you. Above all else, I understand that there are no definitions that can hold me, but if you must pick one, know that I am a manifestor; I am that which I say I am.

ON HER FASHION PROWESS:

I like fashion, but I’m a true fan of style. I appreciate when style is approached from an individual standpoint. One’s style should reflect one’s point of view and I respect individual style that tells a story. My style is DRAMA-when I get dressed I have a role in mind and I dress to fit it. Am I going to let my rock star loose or am I going for more of a demure damsel in distress? Whatever my mood-it is reflected in the way I dress (sometimes my mood is damn I hate this job!). My style icons are Jackie Kennedy Onassis and Victoria Beckham. I’d say I am classic meets extreme. I love classic pieces paired with the most eccentric things you can find. I’m most likely to be seen wearing a Tiffany charm bracelet and less conspicuously, great lingerie because the foundation is the most important part of a look. I’m not sure how I would define my style but most would probably say eclectic. I try not to define it, I just let it be.

WHAT SHE’S WEARING:

In the attached picture I’m wearing a plain Hanes wife beater and a huge can-can toulle skirt made by a local designer in the French Quarter. I have on some Aldo ankle boots because I think they make my legs look nice. Overall, you see my personality in this picture, which is what my fashion style is all about – letting my personality shine!

FASHION TIP:

Figure out your body type and once you do, work with it instead of against it. Just because clothes come in your size doesn’t mean they fit you!

FAVORITE DESIGNER:

Tom Ford.

We are looking high and low for that cutting edge stylista. You know her, she rocks her own style, mixes and matches sale items with a piece that cost more than her rent and car note combined and she struts with a confidence that can appear cocky, but it’s really just the elevated state she feels in her 5 inch stilettos. She can be full figured or what they deem average and size, as long as she knows fashion, employs anything that is an eclectic mix of indie or couture and isn’t a slave to trends–she’s all right by us. Sure, you can nominate yourself or a friend. Here is what we require:

1. Send us a fashionable photo of yourself. Please see how to contact us under the “about” section and send the photo there.
2. Make certain you put SOTW and your first name in the subject header of the email ie. “SOTW – Dominique” or else your entry may be deleted.
3. Include a first person bio about yourself, no longer than 100 words in the body of the email.
4. Share with us in 100 words or less what you love the most about fashion in the body of the email.
5. Tell us who and what you’re wearing in the photo.
6. Share a little piece of fashion advice with our readers.
7. Now top that off with your favorite designer and you’re all set.

We look forward to seeing and living vicariously through you.

Fabulously yours,
