The 12 Gift Guides of Christmas: Trendsetter
When I was a teenager and just getting into fashion, I wanted the craziest pieces in my wardrobe I could find. I looked to celebrities for fashion inspiration and went thrifting all the time to replicate their style. The biggest designers I could afford were Rebecca Minkoff, and only when she was on a 60% off sale. Even though I can afford what I want these days, I still like to find unexpected pieces in my stocking that are a little flashier or glitzier than I'd normally go for—receiving fashion pieces from friends or family gives me a little reminder to have fun with my style, especially during the holiday season. Here's to keeping things merry and bright.
