Style Profile: Smitten



Name: Jenna Stevie
Age: 23
Occupation: Student 
Location: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

When and why did you start your site? 
I started it almost 3 years ago, I was a student and needed a creative outlet. I loved fashion and getting dressed but the University environment doesn't really allow a lot of outlets for that. 

How would you describe your site? 
My site is mostly outfit posts, but I try to do some remix posts showing how I've styled one piece several ways, as well as what's going on in my life. It's like a style diary!


Where do you get your inspiration? 
I get my inspiration from other bloggers, I love seeing how other people style things, as well as pinterest of course.

Who are your style/beauty icons? 
I really do admire other bloggers, Keiko Lynn is someone who's blog I've followed for years, not only is she incredibly stylish and beautiful it comes across that she is a genuinely nice and awesome human being. 

Describe your personal style. 
This is always so hard to describe, it really depends on the day I suppose. But in general I really love pairing girly pieces with masculine or edgy pieces, like a pretty lace dress with a leather jacket and studded boots. I also cannot resist a fun or quirky print, it's my weakness!


What was the best style/beauty advice you were given? 
Be comfortable and confident in yourself and you'll always look great. It's so true, if i'm comfortable I feel like a million bucks.

Where are your favourite places to shop? 
UrbanOutfitters (mostly the sale section), H&M, Thrifting, and the shoe store where i work

What are your favourite trends for this season? Well for F/W it was definitely Oxblood, faux fur, and for S/S I'm really looking forward to getting some pieces in that emerald colour, it's always been a favorite shade of mine. 


Style/Beauty Pet Peeve? Lululemon pants tucked into Uggs, which was basically the uniform on campus.

What do you never leave home without? 
My phone/iPod.


What are your five essential items that you think every woman should own? 
A flattering black blazer, a simple denim button up, great pair of dark jeans, a little red dress, and a striped skirt.

What is one of your goals for 2013? 
To move out of my parents house with my pup.


Where do you see yourself and your site in five years? 
That is a really hard question, I will hopefully be done my master's program in 5 years and be a registered psychologist, I am not too sure where that leave's the blog! I've been doing this for almost 3 years so it's hard to imagine not having it.

Style Profile: Marie a la Mode



Name: Marie Zydek
Age: 32
Occupation: Full-time: Buyer, Part-time: Wardrobe Stylist, Actor and Blogger
Location: Edmonton, Alberta

When and why did you start your site?   
Almost 3 years ago! Time has flown. I started it because I needed a creative outlet, a place to share my passions.

How would you describe your site?   
It's fashion-based but I also blog about cosmetics, celebrities, fitness, etc.

Where do you get your inspiration?   
Everywhere! Other blogs, websites, magazines, the media, instagram photos, T.V., film, the list goes on!


Who are your style/beauty icons?   
Style: Clemence Poesy.
Beauty: Cindy Crawford and Kate Winslet. Both age so gracefully and aren't afraid of a few wrinkles.

Describe your personal style.   
Hmmmm, that's hard. I dress according to how I feel. Being comfortable is most important to me but I also like incorporating trends and giving my outfits a little bit of an edge. And other times I'll feel really girly and put on a flowy dress and high heels.

What was the best style/beauty advice you were given?
Wash the makeup off of your face before you go to bed and always wear sunscreen!

Where are your favourite places to shop? 
Online: Shopbop and ASOS
In store: Zara, Simons, Top Shop, The Bay.


What are your favourite trends for this season? 
Structured, classic-cut coats. I have a lot of coats and they have to be warm because of the climate I live in! I also love faux fur during the winter.

Style/Beauty Pet Peeve? 
When guys wear baggy jeans and I can see their underwear. Like, really? Why don't you just wear the underwear and go without the pants then? Sometimes I get the urge to go up to those guys in public and pull their pants down and run away. That would teach them a lesson!

What do you never leave home without? 
My Marc Jacobs bag which has my whole life in it!

What are your five essential items that you think every woman should own? 

  1. A black blazer 
  2. A good pair of jeans 
  3. A classic white collared blouse 
  4. Beige and black heels 
  5. A Little Black Dress 
  6. A great leather bag 
  7. A black leather jacket. 
(sorry, I couldn't do just 5!)

Where do you see yourself and your site in five years? 
I hope to still be blogging, styling and acting in 5 years and I hope to be married with children by then.
