IRL: Style in Real Life - Issue 5: spring 09 - 5/06/09 - a not serious at all weekly exploration of hayden-harnett style by very real people
Kristin Booker - Height 5'8 1/2 What do you do IRL? I'm a freelance fashion and beauty writer. I have my own blog, fashion,style,beauty, I write for other sites such as Daily Makeover and Social Diva, and I'm currently working on my first book. Other than my obvious interests in all things clothes, makeup, and shoes. I collect wine, I love to paint and I'm obsessed with photography. I'm a southern girl so I also love making huge meals of comfort food for dinner parties. I'm really loving New York but since I'm in a long-distance relationship; I get to explore two of my greatest loves: my boyfriend and traveling! Your URL? HTTP://WWW.FASHIONSTYLEBEAUTY.COM Why did you choose this look? Right now I'm really trying to figure out what works best on my body. I recently lost a lot of weight (size 12 from a 22) so I am rediscovering the joy of shopping for myself. This tunic is such a flattering shape and the pattern and colors just look so elegant with the jeans. I fell instantly in love with the shoes and the handbag - I love contrasting colors in accessories! The necklace is that ultimate accessory that lengthens the line of the body so you've got to grab that. Finally, the bracelet was so complimentary of the outfit that it just had to make it into the shoot!
Loreal Monroe - Height: 5'7 What do you do IRL? I work at an urban planning NPO but am starting law school in the fall. I commute to work by bike 9 months out of the year and like teaching myself how to make stuff (I'm currently working on my first quilt). Your URL? www.lorealmonroe.com Why did you choose this look? I chose the helena dress because I loved that it wrapped (so easy to put on!) and thought the tiered ruffles were cute. I chose it in black because the color's so versatile and as someone with seasonal uniforms (I tend to only wear 4-5 different outfits each season - It makes getting dressed in the morning incredibly easy) versatility is key. I can see myself wearing this dress a lot this spring/summer (and maybe even this fall with tights!) A black dress also allows you to go nuts with colorful accessories, so I chose the bright bag and wedged heels.
