How do you describe your style?Modern witch? Gosh that sounds pretentious. Essentially, I love bringing in an edginess to my looks. However, I very much value comfort. Large parts of my wardrobe are, basically, glorified pajamas. 

 

What makes your style unique?Probably the amount of black I wear. I also mix in pieces that people wouldn’t normally go for, such as a bowler hat or a crazy lip color. I’m extremely fond of lipstick!

 

What’s your favorite accessory?I always wear the same two rings on my right hand. One shaped like an infinity knot and the other with a small yellow stone in it. The first ring matches one my friend has: she goes to school in California- where I’m from. When we went off to school, she gave me one so we could be connected even though we’re on opposite coasts. The other ring is one that my mom gave me, which reminds me of my family that are again, back in California. 

 

What do you think your style says about you? Stay away or I’ll put a hex on you. Or maybe I’ll just fall asleep, witchcraft is hard work!

 

If you could have any celebrity’s closet, whose would it be?She’s not really a celebrity, but Lua Perez-Garreaud from the style blog Le Happy (http://www.le-happy.com/). She has in my opinion, a perfect closet. She creates this vintage, grungy vibe that I’m obsessed with. I also love CL from the k-pop group 2NE1, who often puts a more masculine element into her personal style.
