In this week's style profile, Petite Adventures talks fashion with Bee, a fashion lover who's breaking her way into the industry with internships - with Canada's own FASHION Magazine - and sharing her views and style on BeeIsTheNewBlog. Bee's blog is for fashion and beauty that is of the moment- and thing that she loves and has her attention. Well, her weekly outfit recaps have caught our attention, and here we learn more about this up-and-comer.
Name: Bee
Age: 22
Occupation: Blogger for HauteClassics.com / Editorial Intern with FASHION Magazine
When and why did you start your site?
I started blogging with a bestie for our site TwoGirlsOneBlog in 2010 all because we loved to gab about beauty and fashion and she had the brilliant idea to put it all online. We're still besties but the site is no more. I'm at Bee Is the New Blog and she's doing her beauty thing at BloggedPores.com.
How would you describe your site?
It's just a fun, silly, colourful site where I'm allowed to gab about products, clothes and anything else I want as much as I want. I'm not always on top of the newest trends or the hottest runway shows, but I always post about what I'm wearing, but my photography isn't always great and if I do it too much I feel like it looks like I'm self-involved.
Where do you get your inspiration?
I love reading blogs that are just fun. I worship the Fug Girls and keep them in mind whenever I post about celebrity style. Casie Stewart has such a fun, casual style that you can't help but love her.
Who are your style/beauty icons?
I love the ladies who go nuts when it comes to style, like Gaga, Nicki [Minaj], and Rhianna, but I can't relate to them. My ultimate style icon (slash LIFE icon) is Carrie Bradshaw. Whenever I go shopping my motto is WWCW: what would Carrie wear?
Describe your personal style.
I'm a huge old movie buff and right now I'm buying a lot of classic pieces. Tea-length skirts, black capes, wrist-length gloves... I like monochromatic pieces with eclectic accessories that are just this side of wild.
What was the best style/beauty advice you were given?
I credit the best advice ever to both my parents. Mom has always says looking natural is the best way to stay looking youthful, and Dad just always says to be myself and have fun. The two contradict each other on a daily basis (since my fun neon-bright eye shadow and lipstick aren't exactly natural looking) but I manage.
Where are your favourite places to shop?
H&M for closet staples. Forever 21 and Aldo Accessories for accessories. NastyGal.com for pieces no one else will have.
What are your favourite trends for this season?
Colours, colours, colours! Rust, mustard, cerulean. I'm so excited that fall and winter aren't just a sea of black and brown.
Style/Beauty Pet Peeves?
Style: Refusal to wear one's actual size.
Beauty: A visible line of concealer at the jaw.
What do you never leave home without?
Chapstick. If I have dry lips, nothing else is on my radar.
What are the five essential items that every woman should own?
Beauty: Lubriderm moisturizer, Sephora black liquid liner, fake eyelashes, hot pink lipstick, Carmex.
Style: black flats, huge statment necklace/ring, something made entirely of sequins, flowy skirt (I swear they make you walk more delicately), cigarette pants
Where do you see yourself and your site in five years?
Hopefully still running and still finding people who like to stop by and read my blog. I also hope to be writing for online outlets.
Random fact about Bee:
I have a notebook filled with book titles and page numbers where I've found spelling/grammatical errors.

A visible line of concealer at the jaw- yes that's one of my beauty pet peeves as well (although I'm sure I've been guilty of it!) Bee has such fun style- will have to check out her blog!
